    I love Aldi's. I have yet to buy anything there that I haven't been happy with. The "Fit and Active" brand is excellent. The Chix. breasts are great. My husband thinks the Key Lime pie is the best ever! I have had great success with their meats. I use reuseable bags where I shop so that feature is right up my alley. And I don't have to worry about hitting a grocery cart in the parking lot!

    Aldis is a great little store. We buy all our milk, eggs, honey, bread, potatoes, fruit and most can food and ice cream there. Cheap prices but most are their own name brand. They have improved quality a lot over the years. They have the shopping carts that you put a quarter in to use and then get it back when you leave. That way all the carts are chained together and no carts in the lot to scratch cars.

    We like most of Aldi's products, a few we didn't care for and some we just never purchased because we just wouldn't use them. I just love their specials (if they're not sold out by the time I get there), their prices are excellent and the checkout is FAST!!!

    Great store. As jaciqltznok wrote, the bouquets of fresh flowers are long-lasting and very reasonably priced. Of course, the food is tops too, but I love fresh flowers every so often, and it's not an expensive splurge. If they only had fabric there....

    I love Aldi's prices-their canned goods are cheaper than M or W's store brand -produce is too,a smaller selection than the big stores They have a nice selection of frozen stuff if you like that kind of stuff -The only only thing I did not like was their Beaumont Coffee. They gave me my money back,when I mention it I didn't even have the can with me. OH make sure you have a Quarter for the shopping cart,when you return it you get it back- another way they keep prices down.I wish the bigger stores would do this.

    Hi, We have many Aldi stores here in the U.K. also in Germany where we visit relatives often.Here they sell local veg and meat and we find them great.Also the staff are so polite and fast on the checkouts, we would hate to be without them.As always it's a case of buying what you find of value, we look for special offers.Funny thing is a friend of mine has a son who is a director of Aldi U.K. and she never shops there! Shhh, love her as I do, she is a bit of a snob.! x

    We have several Aldi in our area. I love shopping there. The quality is good, the prices are fantastic and I love their Fit & Active brand. I almost always go there first to do my shopping and then hit another store to get what they don't carry. They are always adding to their stock of items that I use the most of. For example - SunChips multigrain chips Original at the store is usually about $3.00 - $3.50 Aldi brand - Clancy's Multigrain chip $1.99. The produce is just as good as all the other stores. Bananas are usually about 15 cents a pound cheaper that the other stores. You will love it.

    Aldi's is a great store...love their prices for fresh fruit in the summer...I try not to go there on the weekend...too busy for me as it is a small store, but I always feel I get really good buys there.

    This is really interesting! There is an Aldi's being built down the street from me. Will check it out when it opens.

    You will love this store. Nothing fancy but good prices and good quality on most things.
