ALDI

Went to return a item that I bought last night. Turned out to be the wrong item decided to take it back today. Walked in with the item under my arm while talking to the phone. Walked all the way around. Waited my turn in line, get to the cashier and she says you can return it because u stolen it. No I have a receipt for the item, I would like a refund. Manager Joe was called and I explain the issue. I was told to leave the store. I called the police (they watched the video of the door only) and said that it doesn’t should the item in your hand so I was never given a refund nor the item back. Police advise to take to small claims court. But if I stole it why wasn’t I arrested. Why should I have to sue for my money back for something that I bought. If my skin was a different color this would be a whole lot different. I will never shop here again. And make sure no one I know will either that’s a promise…

All time favorite grocery store.
1. Super affordable.
2. Great service.
3. Weird sense of community with shoppers.
For those of you who haven’t been to an ALDI before. You need a quarter to use a cart, you need to bring or buy bags, and you’re not going to find the same variety as you would in other grocery stores. Annoys some people, super great for my anxiety. Who needs to choose between 26 bottles of ketchup anyway?
The «Live GFree» gluten free brand of products is the best gluten free brand I’ve found (anywhere) to date.
I come here every week and spend around $ 40-​$ 60 on a wide variety of healthy food for the week for my boyfriend and myself. In the past, when our resources were more restrained, we were able to get by for $ 30.
Fun fact. Aldi and Trader Joes were started by brothers.

I have been shopping at Aldi for so long that I forget that the Aldi brand food labels are not «Kraft, Country Hearth, General Mills» etc. I buy 90% of my groceries there and over 4 years have only came across a couple of things I felt were not very good. I continue to be impressed and have saved so much money. This store is clean and the workers are friendly and helpful.

I recently learned how flavanols in dark chocolate are really good for you for a host of reasons. But not all brands make the mark. Aldi happens to carry one that does — Moser Roth. I was in this neighborhood and spotted Aldi and couldn’t think of a better reason to go in.
Going into any new store feels a bit disorienting to me. Aldi’s has brand names that I had never encountered anywhere else. Sort of like the feeling at TJ’s, which is not surprising because Aldi’s and TJ’s are owned by the same family trust. Anyway, the entry aisle is lined with chips, crackers, chocolate, etc. at very cheap prices. I found several kinds of Moser Roth and they were under $ 2. I also picked up Savoritz Wheat crackers because they were so cheap. And avocados — they were only a $ 1 each!
So, what would I go back for? The Moser Roth dark and dark with chilli have been excellent. The firm-​ish avocados went bad in 2 days — if I get them again I will plan to use them in a day. The Savoritz crackers are very crunchy and I want to like them but the crackers feel like dust in the mouth after a few chews. They might do better paired with cheese… maybe.
The store does not accept credit cards. You pay to buy a bag if you do not carry your own. What I liked most is that cashiers have chairs to sit on.

New products continually pop up at this location including organic & gluten free. Score!

I successfully avoided ALDI for a long time until my boyfriend sucked me in with promises of avocados for less than $.50. My biggest complaint has been that there’s no way around having to go to another grocery store to pick up your other essentials, and considering grocery shopping usually occurs smack dab in the middle of my Sunday night freak out, I’m NOT HAVING IT.
I’ve been hanging on to that argument for a long time. I’ve realized that that argument also came with a lot of not saving money. The reality is, the difference in price for so many of the products I regularly buy (milk, eggs, snacking veggies) is big enough the two stop thing doesn’t really matter. I’m talking $ 1 – 1.50 on some products. Plus, the Supertarget is right across the way. Convenience enough to make the complainer in me shut up!
The store is clean and the prices are ALWAYS RIGHT. Plus, they have queso fresco and Fage greek yogurt. Last week no Supertarget run was required!
Be prepared though — you must bring your own bags and a quarter for the cart deposit. Chances are you’ll also sit in line for a while before check out.

OK When it comes to Grocery shopping I am a Cub and Lunds guy so when it came to ALDI I was Like «WHATEVER» … I WAS WRONG. I have been visiting this Columbia Heights location for the last several months and I am blown away with what I find. I been trying items hear and there now I am just about getting 80% of all my weekly items there.
Reasons:
1) Produce that is so fresh. Lettuce like you can’t find anywhere this fresh. Avocados that are so amazing.
2) Cheese, I was so skeptical… But again I was wrong the cheese and selection is amazing, quality is super…
3) Store is clean and well laded out to get in and out quick. This is one of there more premier stores and its larger and more complete then other ALDI’s I have been in before.
4) I think there brand items really are of exceptional quality NOT cheap impersonators like some generics can be.
Bring your bags and keep a quarter handy for the cart you rent. All in all you can walk out of this store with the feeling you just did not get held up!
I would like it if they had a better soda selection, and more fresh meats but the chicken breasts are awesome.
Something I learned that maybe helpful if the price label above the item is red its a item that’s not regularly stocked or is seasonal so get it on that trip cause it mite not be there next time. Check the end caps because there is always super deals on close out stuff.
