I love ALDI's business philosophy, no frills grocery shopping with limited quality items at a good price point. Aldi is my first stop on my grocery run. If I can't get what I am looking for here, and I usually can unless it's a specialty item or spices (which are limited), I will then go to one of the larger grocery stores. Why pay more if you don't have to? Aldi is a great option when you are concerned about the quality of the food you eat, and don't want to break the bank to feed your family.
It's so nice having limited options, with only four to five aisles of all the essentials. It allows me to get in and out quickly. Who has time to scrutinize 40 BBQ sauces, 20 brands of toilet paper, 30 different types of caned crushed tomatoes, 75 types of cereal, etc. They have regularly-stocked items, including fresh meat, and wine, many of which are ALDI, select brands. A large percentage of the groceries are ALDI brands which I have grown to trust over the years, and taste good. I love their cheese selection and prices. They also partner some local farmers which is nice to ensure that the fruit and veggies are in-season, and fresh, to include organic fruits and vegetables.
This Aldi has a Hispanic food section, and carries dog / cat food and treats. ALDI also offers non-food products at a great value that include things from small kitchen appliances, bathroom, home décor items, and seasonal items. You never know what you will find. I was really shocked to find Work Zone products (chain saw, garage shelves and cabinet, car seat overs), and a ninja gingerbread cookie kit. Too cute!
The staff have very pleasant demeanors and check out customers extremely fast and efficiently. They are a well oiled machine. Just remember to take your own bags if you don't want to pay them. read more
