Do You Have an Aldi Near You?

We don't have any around here, but when I lived in Europe they were everywhere. I usually got certain items at Aldi, because it was just down the street from us, but it could not help me out with my entire grocery list.

I went into Aldi one time and I see no reason to return.

The store was not very clean. The products they carried all seemed to be some sort of 'off-brand', and the prices were not that great. The selection was very limited.

I shop at Aldi I like it

No Aldis here in the Pacific Northwest. I did some Grocery Outlet shopping the other day though, and came home loaded with all kinds of gourmet goodies at great discounts: $1.99 for a wedge of President Brie, $1.99 for 1 pound of pre-sliced pepper summer sausage, $1.99 for 1 pound of pancheta (Italian "bacon"), $3.99 for a 1 pound rack of pre-cooked spareribs. The choice of items like this are sporadic though, like Aldi's, since items come in when they're over-ordered at a store or when they're not perfectly cut. I saw a 5 gallon bucket of Pecan Praline Pear Haagen-Dazs ice cream there (like you'd find at an ice creamery) for $3.99 there the other day. I should have snapped it up, because when I came back the next day for one of the three that were in there.... they were all gone.

P.S. Thanks for bringing up this discussion in Frugal Eats!

I love that place. There are none here, but are where my parents live. Great deals!

Thank you for posting to Point Whore! Wishing everyone many, many points!

I agree, I love Aldis!

I like Aldis and Save a Lot... "generic" stuff tastes just like name brand stuff most of the time anyways

We don't have any Aldis around here, but I have heard of it.

I wish we had one here. It's been many years since I've been to one.

We have several around here. I really like them. I've never had a problem with any of their food. The only thing I don't like is that they have non-food items like tools and computers. I think they should get rid of that stuff and just concentrate on food and stuff like that. They only have so much room.

None in my area. You sure did get some good deals.

we have an aldi`s but rarely go there. I have went a few times but then realized how much sodium is in their food. we are trying to eat more healthy and limit our sodium. so we now pass on shopping at aldi`s. their prices are great though.

None here - one in every town in Germany though. Love their weekly specials which could be anything from a TV to a bathing suit or a bandsaw.
Yup, I know they are a grocery store - love a lot of their stuff - great prices and I always bought my jammies there:)

We have one quasi-nearby -- which is why we're starting to hit it up for our food shopping. Sodium or no sodium, it's what we can afford!

Closest one to Macon is Atlanta.

We do have one and my mother loves to shop there...I'm more of a Hannaford girl myself though : )

Aldi's is great, they have raised their prices a bit too, but still for most things their the best bargain in town, plus if there is a short line I can get in and out of there in 15 minutes, I know exactly where everything is, and I pretty much have the prices of things I buy regularly memorized. For produce though we have another store that has fresh produce really cheap, and their meat is nicely priced, but everything else in the store is more expensive, so I will go to Aldis for most of the stuff and go there for fresh fruits, veggies, and I will usually get some kind of meat when I am there.

we have a few around here and boy do i love it!

Some are closing

They are building an Aldi at the end of the street where I work which is only 3 miles from my home as well. I have NEVER shopped at Aldi but my mother in law in Pennsylvania shops there only.
I will be making my first trip to Aldi in about a month when they open.

My husband and I are on the Dave Ramsey Financial Peace University and working on getting out of debt. We are using cash only for grocerys and other items which we keep in envelopes.
I cannot wait till they get this place built so I can start shopping there.

wow that looks exactly like the aldis we have in our town. It in Johnson City NY are you near there? Anyway yes our Aldis is about 15 min from us and I do shop there all the time.

We have one in Homewood, AL. I have been to it and love it!!!! I save so much money and get lots of food!!!!! I can not wait until the one in Pelham, AL opens!!!!! (Much closer to home!!!!)

The BEST STORE EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
