Aldi

Quiet, clean location. Staff is really friendly. They work so hard! Always fully stocked and organized. A great ALDI store in comparison to others I’ve been to. Will continue to shop here!

Pros:
+Cheap Pricing
+Customer Service
+Free Parking
+Speedy Checkout
Cons:
–Shoppers Children
Aldi is great for a mix of American & European groceries. They usually run great specials and you can find similar items that are comparable to major grocery chains. Sometimes they could use an extra cashier but the line goes very fast.
The major issue is the inability for the security or staff to control the screaming children running up and down the store. Some of the shoppers are not aware that they are not at home, stop your kids from running around crying and screaming. Bring change to receive a cart and bring your own bags, Aldi charges $ 0.11 a bag, this is a company policy. Debit or Cash only, they offer cash back.

Inexpensive groceries that taste about the same as expensive items! Great place to go if you want to budget or if you’re on that «college budget» only thumbs down is that you have to bring your own grocery bag or box but it’s also good for aldi because they’re not killing trees or wasting plastic bags

This location is relatively quiet, clean, and checkout is reasonable.
Aldi has some gems for cheap. The cheddar penguins are a great alternative to goldfish crackers. I actually prefer them! There’s also a spaghetti sauce that is just great for your pasta dishes here. I believe it’s the Reggano Primavera. Forget the ragu and the prego!
Don’t forget to bring your own bags unless you don’t mind paying for some bags at checkout.
Wish there were more Aldi locations around!

They have booze now! …Booze!

The prices are great, but oh my this Aldi is ALWAYS crowded. Some of their produce is fairly competitive with Cermak foods next door but is not the best, so check for quality first. They do have cheap dairy products like milk and I have found goat cheese for a reasonable price too.

I used to shop at the location on Monrtose and loved it! For a couple yrs now I’ve been going to this location and not all the products are consistent. Fit and Active products are good for the price. I don’t do all my shopping here, recently I’ve been getting meat products at Sam’s. The pork chops here for example are too expensive and the product is not that great. They have steak and it looks good but when you open it the bottom of it has all this fat on it, not worth the price. AVOID SHOPPING HERE ON THE FIRST OF EVERY MONTH… That’s when everyone’s link card gets reloaded. I had no idea until one day that I was there on the first. It gets very busy and hectic. Rude people talking on their cell phones when they should be paying attention to what their doing. I prefer to be in and out, not the case on the first of the month. Recently I’ve noticed that they have not been having alergy products. Apparently they stopped because they keep getting stolen. Why not put them in front by the register? What’s the point of having security guards? Usually their just at the front standing around. Pretty pointless in my opinion.

This is an above average Aldi, thanks to a reliable and prompt staff who make even a 4– or 5-​deep line at the check-​out sail through in no time. Often my biggest problem with shopping at Aldi stores is dealing with the large crowds and the skeleton crews, but this Aldi does not generally have that problem.
I’m also impressed by the expanding line of «Fit & Active» products that are still very affordable but aren’t loaded with calories, fat, sodium, and processed meats like so many cheap grocery items contain. For instance, their ground turkey, priced at $ 2.50 for just under 20 oz. if I remember correctly, is ⁹³⁄₇ and doesn’t have any funky ingredients like mechanically separated turkey that you typically find in packages of cheap ground turkey. I would not recommend doing all of your shopping at any Aldi (for instance, the produce is never all that great), but it is perfect for stocking up on package goods, especially now that they offer more «Fit & Active» products.
