This store,(owned by the Trader Joe’s Company), has quickly become one of my favorite places to shop regardless of its location. I have shopped at the stores in Alpharetta, Roswell, Duluth, Ohio and now Cumming. I love that these stores are predictable and consistent in terms of layout and content. You can easily shop from store to store without feeling discombobulated and overwhelmed. On this Fourth of July Holiday, I have to give a special«shout out» to those awesome ribs. These are not what I call«restaurant ribs» that are very thin and practically meatless. While I could eat a full rack of restaurant ribs, I can only eat a half rack of these meaty ribs and they will hold me for the next six hours. They are always fresh,(never frozen) and cook up beautifully. While I have actually had to return ribs to other stores due to issues with freshness, I have had no problem with Aldi’s ribs. The produce can sometimes be «hit or miss» but lately the nectarines have been unbelievable: sweet and delicious! Some of my must buy items are sweet potato chips, light blue tortilla chips, both low in sodium, avocados, cold and hot cereals, pasta, breads, cheese, Greek yogurt, Jumbo cinnamon rolls,(make your own glaze and these things are the bomb, perfect for the weekend), raw nuts, chocolate covered pretzels, spices, cheesecake, 100% juice options and other cool things. I like that they have a lot of cool promotional items that come in and keep the options interesting,(gourmet cheese, chicken sausage, white pizza, special desserts and more). Just remember that if you try something you like, grab it because it might not be there on your next visit. Yes, they have some gluten free options available. They also have a rotating supply of non-food items that may include dishes, cookware, organizers, shopping bags, lawn items, pet supplies etc. You will just never know what you may find so it’s an interesting treasure hunt. In order to maximize savings, this store has grocery carts that can be rented for 25 cents and when you return the cart, your money is refunded. I have never used the carts because I prefer to use my roller bags which are easy and efficient. Paper bags are sold for 10 cents each but random boxes are free. Go often and take a friend, you’ll thank me!

New Aldi’s in Cumming. Same great inventory, same great prices, same friendly service. Located on Buford Highway past the 400, past the Home Depot, past the Ingles, across from the Publix, keep going, little farther, oops you passed it, turn around… lol. Just as good, just as nice, just as pleasant as the store in Milton/Alpharetta on 9, but newer. I wish I could say its closer than the other store, or faster to get to, but it aint, so I wont, but I wish I could… so I could say I did. :)
