Debt cards or cash only. No credit cards or checks.
Either bring your own bags or buy them there - 5 cents for paper, 10 cents for plastic.
No membership fees, but most of the items are Aldi’s brand - most aren’t too bad. The only thing I really didn’t like was their pasta, but I’m very picky about my pasta. :-) And the meats they have are frozen, no fresh meats, but the meat is pretty good. Good as any other store.
You also have to do your own bagging. While you are being rung out, you are expected to put your unbagged stuff back into your cart, then there’s an area you go to for bagging.
Last time I went, which was a while ago, you could get a dozen eggs for 89 cents, a box of saltines for 59cents, a 3lb bag of skinless, boneless chicken breasts for a little under $7. Not bad for here in Connecticut, don’t know if their pricing is local or nation wide. Can’t remember the exact price for milk, but it was really good! And they have real butter for under $2 a pound. And their cheese was very good.
Not a lot of fresh produce, but you can find the basics, carrots, onions, potatoes, iceberg lettuce, apples, oranges and some seasonal stuff. Oh, and you need a quarter to unlock your shopping cart, but you get it back when you return the cart to the store. The only grocery store I’ve ever seen with no carts littering the parking lot.
Thank you for all the info, Kitty. I really, really appreciate it. I can’t believe some of the prices. Sweet!
I have bought fresh ground beef from them. But it has been a while since I have been there and don't know if they still have it.
