Shop there all the time. It’s the closest grocery store to our home but we used to drive almost 20 miles to get to one. A dozen eggs for less than a dollar, a gallon of milk for $1.99, soup starts at .39, inexpensive bacon, small appliances, kitchen gadgets and toys for 50-75% less than other stores... What’s not to like? Oh, and the grocery bags are only a nickel and they provide empty cardboard boxes if you don’t want to buy bags. Yes, you have to put a quarter into a slot to get a shopping cart. You get your quarter back when you return the cart.

Agree..

While milk is not quite the $1.99 it is where you are (after all, this IS New York..) it is $2.69 while the name supermarkets in the area sell it at anywhere from $3.99 to $4.35 a gallon... Butter $1.65 a pound versus $3.99..

What's not to like.. ;-)

Heck, our local GAS STATION (Kwik Trip) matches those prices. And regional chain Woodman's has fifty times the selection, and similar pricing on house brands.

Aldi is a great in and out store with fast produce turnover. You cannot do a complete shopping run there.

Oh, and in one of the Rockford, Illinois Aldi stores, the employees WILL yell at you or your kids if you do something wrong (our youngest kids SAT on the bagging shelf by the exit). If the authoress is so enamored wil low/self service, she should step into one of the stores with the self-scanning checkouts. She obviously is limited in her supermarket experience if she thinks Aldi is the epitome of great supermarkets.

We love our Aldi! The food has been consistently good, the store is clean, reasonably priced, and we can pack things as we like without being huffed at by an insulted cashier.

Oh yeah, also the BEST tasting milk of any brand avail locally!

What’s not to love?
