As a child growing up in Chicago, I have vivid memories of visiting Aldi with my family, and getting cheap microwave pizza to watch Saturday morning, cartoons. It was a simple, basic, no-frills grocery store, I can remember it as almost budget-friendly. However, my recent visit to the Aldi has shattered those nostalgic childhood memories. This Aldi is a total revelation, a far cry from the budget grocery store I once knew as a kid. The store's interior is clean and modern, with well-organized products on shelves. The produce section is a main highlight for me, they have a range of fresh, organic options at very affordable prices. One of the most fun isles of this Aldi is "Aldi Finds" section. This aisle is in the center and features an assortment of limited products, it's a treasure trove for bargain hunters. All these products are limited, so look fast. Aldi has private-label products, like there popular "Winking Owl" wines and offer excellent value for money. I remember that traditional Aldi shopping was for basic affordable cheap food, this Aldi has a new evolution, and I love it. You can find premium and organic food here, no more basic microwave pizza for me! Also, you will notice that the cashiers are comfortable and sit down at the cash registers, which is different from other chain grocery stores, and they don't have baggers to bag your food. If you're looking for an affordable grocery store I highly recommend giving this Aldi a try. The produce, wine and organic food selection are some of my favorite picks! Pro tip: Don't forget your quarter! Shopping carts can be used for a quarter. You get your quarter returned when you return your cart, or you can get lucky and find a shopping cart in the parking lot. read more
