Aldi

This is the closest grocery store to me and I’m so glad that it is! Cheap prices and friendly people. Usually the store is very clean. Always look forward to getting their advertisements in the mail on Wednesdays. Come here! They save you money, you won’t be disappointed

Great prices and quality. Produce is perfect, though you should plan to use it soon. Great broccoli, onions, potatoes, carrots and tomatoes. The four heads of lettuce package though is the best deal in the store and stays fresh for well over a week. Good milk and AWESOME cheese selection, like fancy gourmet at good prices. I have liked every pantry item and especially endorse the pasta. Love ALDI.

Also gets points for great prices, and the ease of getting in and out. It’s no frills shopping folks. They have their own labels, which keeps the prices low.
If you need basics go here, and get the fancy stuff elsewhere. The cashiers are always nice at this location.
Make sure to remember your bags, and carts will cost you a quarter.

Let’s be honest, you can’t beat the prices here. If only the other people in the store weren’t so sketchy. Who knows, maybe people feel the same way about me. My only other complaint is that I would like to see them have more organics in the fresh section.

Always stoping here for fillers. When you have three sons always eating you enjoy a smaller grocery that’s a quick in and out! Plenty of snacks from chips to fresh fruit. As well as all the essentials for throwing a meal together in 10 min and out in 5 is such a big value! This location is always organized and clean. It’s also kept very well stocked! Great value and quality is why I return again and again!

I’ll give it 3 stars because most of their prices are considerably cheaper. I was impressed with how inexpensive the produce was, however some of it had seen better days. The meat was a little sketchy so I left it alone. I wish I had read the other reviews first because I was very surprised to have to pay a quarter for a grocery basket! If you need just the basics this may be the place to go, but stick with your regular market for larger purchases.

If i would have reviewed this store when it first opened 4 – 5 yrs ago it would have been 5 stars.
The concept is great!
The products are great!
The produce and meats are great!
My wife and I get a aspect of our shopping here. We must get essentials at a Asian market
BUT their prices are slowly creeping up and the cleanliness of this store is slowly faultering.

There’s very little not to like about Aldi. Most of their items are off-​brand, but from my experience, their products are surprisingly good quality. This is where you shop to get the most out of your money — way cheaper than other grocery stores. Of course, the selection is not as large as other grocers, but they have the essentials. They have a efficient system going that helps them keep their prices low. Only the amount of staff needed. You sacrifice a quarter to get a shopping cart, and only get it back when you return the cart. Bring your own bag or pay 10 cents for one of theirs. They do not take credit card, but will take debit card.

Love everything about this store, though I do stay away from their produce and meats! If you go at the right time of the day you don’t have to wait in the lines.

Aldi’s is a grocery that sells mostly their name brand products. You may an occasional nam brand product on the shelves. The quality of their store brand products are for the most part fairly good. If you compare the exact product with a national brand you can tell the difference, although slight at times. The store sells a limited number of grocery items and that is across the entire line of products. The produce counter has a limited number of produce items so don’t expect to go there and fill your basket with every possible produce its, — it is just not going to happen. I mention the baskets or shopping cart. You have to leave a 25 cents deposit in order to use the basket. You will get the 25 cents back if you return the cart to the row of shopping carts. If you have never used one of those quart takers ask someone around you. My first time I like to never have gotten a cart. The meat counter is rather small however the meat we have purchased has always been good. Produce prices on certain items may be well below the prices of the major chins. Ice cream and other frozen items are their own brands and they are acceptable as far as quality and taste. You have to have your own bags for your groceries otherwise you will be charged for a bag. You have to bag your own groceries. The store also sells some miscellaneous items such as grills, etc. and usually these are seasonal items found close to the back of the store. You will find porches that-​are much lower than large chain store prices.

As someone whO lives paycheck to paycheck this is definitely the kind of place I enjoy. With $ 20 I can buy enough meat for my husband and I to eat for a week. I have never gotten anything here I wasn’t completely satisfied with. They have a limited amount of staff. It they are friendly and helpful. Aldi also seems to care about its employees because they give them chairs to sit in while ringing people up. As someone who worked as a cashier all through college I’m jealous.
If you are looking for miracle whip and Borden this isn’t where you will find it but they do have all the necessities but you may have to manother trip to another grocery store. I wanted to make a dessert that costs $ 10 for everything at tom thumb but here all the ingredients only cost $ 5. You won’t be disappointed if you give it a try.

This is a great store for picking up a few items on the way home. Especially good prices on baking items, extracts and olive oil. They have hormone-​free milk at excellent prices as well.
Bring your own quarter if you want to use a cart. You’ll get it back afterward.
Bring your own bag or prepare to purchase some to carry your items.
No credit cards, debit is fine.

This is very no frills shopping, no pharmacy, no meat market, no produce department, etc. Stores are small, well lit, and clean with a very limited selection. The vast majority of stock is private label, with only the occasional national brand. There are only a handful of aisles, and no shelves, just product stacked on the floor or on pallets.
I doubt I could do my weekly shopping here due to the extremely limited selection. Prices are dirt cheap, and I was surprised to find some rather tasty treats. They have Jaffa Cakes, super yummy cookies made of sponge cake, orange jam, and dark chocolate. I haven’t found a box of Jaffa Cakes in Dallas in years. Aldi being German also carries a very delicious frozen strudel. It’s bring your own bag, and as other have said you must place a deposit on the cart.
I would probably be tempted to buy more food here because much of it comes from Germany and like most of Europe they have tighter controls on food additives.

Best prices and decent quality! Bring your own grocery bags :)

I was in the Richardson area this weekend and needed a few things so I decided to check out Aldi and get my essentials! All I needed was sun dried tomatoes and frozen spinach.
After parking in the small lot I think to myself that I should just grab a cart in case I go on a shopping frenzy but I don’t carry cash around so thus I have no change for the cart rental! Bummer. I walk the clean wide aisles and explore all these unknown packages I’ve never seen at my local Kroger and grab a few goodies that look appealing in both taste and price: A bag of fit foods yogurt raisins, a 4 pack of cinnamon applesauce, English muffins and a lb of frozen salmon. My total was a whopping $ 8. Why didn’t I grab the things I needed you ask? Well that answer is quite simple; Aldi simply didn’t carry them.
This chain is all about basics and when I say basics I mean extremely limited everyday items. I don’t think I’ll be coming back to Aldi unless I happen to be in Richardson and craving those European wafers Kellie S. was talking about!

I went to the soft opening of the new ALDI Grocery store in Richardson today. The gave the media a walk-​through yesterday. They officially open later this week on 4÷22÷10.
Bring a quarter people. In order to get a cart you need to insert quarter into the slot in order to unlock it from storage. When you return the cart you get your quarter back. Simple and an easy way to cut costs and keep the parking lot free of runaway carts. Helps keep your car from getting dinged too. Plus, you get a little exercise if you have to take your groceries to your car and return it to the station. It’s a win, win situation.
Being brand spanking new the store was clean and pristine. The aisles are wide and the products are stacked in neat boxes. I did not see too many brand names as I walked through the store but did see a lot of European chocolates. So, naturally, I had to pick some of the chocolates and wafers. Why European you ask? Well, a friend of mine told me that she used to shop at ALDI when she lived in Paris. Nice. She lived in Paris for most of her life. I digress. The produce was fresh — naturally, it just opened, and they had a little of everything. some of the fruit and vegetables were prepackaged so you’d have to buy it by the pack. No need to search since they all looked pretty good. I guess this is to keep the fruit and veggies from getting handled too much. It didn’t look like there was a rhyme or reason to the way that they organized the aisles though. I found different types of pasta in three different aisles. They gave me two free bags since this was my first time but apparently you have to pay for bags. It’s a good thing I didn’t go crazy in the store. I only went in to browse and see what they had to offer but ended up buying about $ 20 worth of groceries.
My cart included cappuccino flavored wafer sticks, garlic hummus, mangos, diced pears in cherry jello, string cheese, jicama, steak seasoning with grinder, dry spaghetti noodles, condensed milk, pickles, green tea (orange, passion fruit & jasmine flavor), and European chocolate wafers. I did not buy any milk, meat or veggies since I wasn’t planning on going home right after my visit.
You should try ALDI if you’re the type who likes to go in, get what you need and get out, don’t mind that the products aren’t all name brands and like low prices.
