Still my go to location! It's all about timing here. If going soon as they open the lines tend to be really long and parking is tight. Going just an hour after opening and it's so much better. That's my observation! This store is generally well stocked with helpful employees. I still miss the self checkout sometimes. There used to always be someone outside waiting for your cart to get the quarter but haven't noticed that as much lately. read more

I knew I wasn't crazy -- when I started reviewing the locations, I know that there was some that I called out for having self-checkout, and that gave them the advantage. I don't know exactly when it happened, but they got rid of self-checkout at this location. And apparently that's the case for all of them now! It seems to not matter what time or what day I come, the lines are always long and don't move very quickly. There are one or two items that I get here that I can't find other places, but I find myself coming less and less since they are not a necessity. I have to set aside time just to be mindful of the long line wait. I'm not sure why they took the self-check out away, but I do hope it's something that they reinstate some time in the future. Almost every other grocery store I know as them and it makes life so much easier. At the very least, have more than two registers open at once. read more

Used to be a 5. Now that it takes 138 years in line to check out, it's no longer usable. I have no idea why they took the self checkout lines out, but it went from a 90 second checkout to a 15 minute checkout. Only TWO lines open!!!!!!!!!! AVOID!!!!!!!!! read more

Long lines due to only one or two lanes open. They took self check out. When someone comes for a couple of things this is not something you want to deal with read more

ALDI - Only two lanes - Grocery Near Me - Beltsville, Maryland

No self checkout and not enough open lanes, and there are enough a$$holes shopping here that it gets unnecessarily hostile.

Great prices, horrible lines. Customers shouldn't have to wait 15 minutes to check out when there's self-checkout technology available and in use at every other grocery store. Get into the 21st century. read more

You know two grocery stores are closed in Belleville in the last six months Aldi is the only one left. They are such idiots to cashiers working and a line down the aisle. They're missing the boat. I will never go back there again. read more

We love Aldi. The stores have mostly the same brands. Depending on the location, you may see items for that area. Northern Virginia will have inventory not stocked at SW DC. The Beltsville location is near IKEA. The aisles are wider than other Aldi's. At Hyattsville, if someone has a giant pallot of items, you can't move your cart through. At this store, there is room to shop while employees load the shelves. The employees were helpful even when busy stocking items. The produce area was decent. The Halloween items were creative. You could overdose on pumpkin flavored items here. There were four open registers. Customers were the focus of the store. I wish this location was closer. read more

ALDI - the front of a grocery store - Grocery Near Me - Beltsville, Maryland

See all

Truth be told, I prefer to go to an ALDI than most other grocery stores. I like that it is all just one brand and you don't have the pressure to choose between a well known named product or the off brand. It's all off brand here (for the most part). This location was setup just like all the others. You know, you get funneled in and right down the aisle that has a mix of snacks. Of course you want to pick some of them up. I took my time going through the store and having to really look for items that I wanted. Some items were picked over and some items weren't where you would expect them to be. After some time in the store we headed to the front and made our way through the checkout area. I appreciated the fact that they had the self checkouts. Even though there were only a few of these registers it somehow made it go much quicker at the registers. Honestly, it was kind of great, you could pack your bag as you scanned if you wanted. It was pretty great and easy while we were coming to the end of our day. read more

This location always has people loitering around asking people for stuff. They are always crowding the entrance and they don't do anything about it. They are always asking for your cart to get the change. The lady always has her 5 kids outside asking people to buy them something. It's truly uncomfortable shopping at this location. You always get asked for something entering when you just want to shop in peace. Please do something about this issue. read more

Hey everyone once again I just had to stop in one of my favorite grocery stores. I purchased some of the Stonemill everything bagel seasoning. I purchased the Asiago cheese, Himalayas pink salt & jalapeño. So I had to go home and fix something so that I can try one of the seasoning & of course the Asiago cheese seasoning is my favorite it's a must purchase. Then I purchased some Antibacterial scented wipes & these wipe i would say is a highly recommended purchased. Because they left my hands soft they don't have a weird smell it don't leave my hands sticky. I purchased the cherry blossom & Hawaiian coconut both scents smell just like what it is. Now these two are my favorite scents ihat I try to get my body spray or lotions in these scents. But If you don't like these scent they do have two other scents. The best part was twenty wipes in a box was only forty nine cents so I definitely will return in purchase more. They're individually wrapped so they can easily be place in a book bag, lunch bag, purses, or anywhere else maybe needed. Also I been purchasing these v8 sparkling beverages for a while now. They are so refreshing and delicious they're made from black & green tea. One source of vegetable so that a big deal for me any way I can get more vegetables in daily it's a winner. I'll highly recommend all the things I purchased today ENJOY read more

Did you know that Aldi is Trader Joe's old maid sister? I wish he'd gotten to this site first. The emphasis is on rock bottom grocery prices, fitting into the niche between Dollar Tree and Food Lion. Minimal fresh meat and produce, almost entirely house brands on non-perishables. Don't expect to find anything that is even slightly out of the mainstream. Name brands are typically liquidations, be sure to check the expire date. House brands often match big brands in quality - I'm happy with the English muffins and woven wheat crackers ("Triscuits"). Excellent values on staples. Keep an eye out for their Deutche Kuche house brand of German foods. I've bought food with Marks and these are on point Must know: Bring a quarter, which you will need as a deposit to unlock a shopping cart. No quarter, no cart for you! At night, bring a flashlight as there is no street light on the cart line and you will need it to find the slot for the quarter. Bring bags. Some cardboard boxes may be available, but if you can't find one they will sell you bags, twice as much as MoCo bag tax. Credit cards are now accepted! read more

Aldi is A-OK in my opinion. You get the basics, but then there are some things you will find that will surprise you. For instant, marzipan stollen for $2.99. My German-blooded pal loves this stuff. Specialty cheeses for cheap. However, if you see something you like, buy a lot of it as it may be a limited item and never return. I did not see one advertised item, and the herb plants for $1.99 were sickly looking. However, milk, cheese and eggs are much cheaper than the big chain stores. Advice: 1) Do bring your own bags or pay the ten cent per bag fee. You can always use the bags to recycle your paper products at home. 2) Do bring a quarter for the carts. I think it is great that they "rent" you a cart, as you get your quarter back when you return it to the line of carts. No errant carts to be found in the parking lot rolling towards your car. 3) Try a no brand name cracker. It won't kill you. read more

ALDI - Aldi at night. - Grocery Near Me - Beltsville, Maryland

Y'all know that I love a good deal, I mean seriously. Came to this location on Mother's Day...not sure if it was the fact that it was a Sunday or the fact that it was Mother's day, but I was slightly underwhelmed with the store, it's selection, the cleanliness, etc. Everything was kind of out of place, there were boxes in the aisle, the produce if available was less than desirable. It isn't what I am accustomed to in an Aldi. On a positive note, I was able to find some great finds, and the staff kept the line moving quickly and was quite pleasant. I hear that this is genearlly a great location, I'm wondering if they were just having an off day. I love a bargain, a discount, to be frugal, so if I'm in the area. I'd return. read more

ALDI - Grocery Near Me - Beltsville, Maryland

Busy store and very hard working people. They have an extensive bread section but I'm leaving carbs alone until after my cruise. I went specifically for vegetables because I heard through the grapevine that they had a great selection of produce. LO and behold they did and I got tomatoes, grapes, lettuce, and a whole bunch of stuff I hope I eat! I also got a bunch of high protein power bars that I can take on my trip next week. I was going to get some 10 lobsters in the freezer section but I like my seafood fresh. Overall the store was clean and had everything I needed for a healthier lifestyle. read more

I give 2 stars to Aldi for the reason that the staff are terrible, but the ones at the cashier's desk you greet them, they don't answer you, they talk to you ugly and the truth is that every time I go shopping they damage my day. The staff are rude. I'm a customer of Aldi for years but I don't feel comfortable every time I go and outside in the parking lot there are people waiting for you to give them the cart for 25 cents that doesn't affect me, it's scary because sometimes there are drunken people asking for the shopping cart read more

TO ALDI CORPORATE: Your cost cutting measures are ruining your stores. This store used to be a nice place to shop; now there is trash outside and no staff. I'm also sure self check out is not helping loss prevention efforts. It's a damn circus inside. read more

I love the prices of Aldi's and now they are getting better with their selection of fruits, vegetables and meats! I was able to come here and spend less than $100.00 dollars for groceries for the month! And come home and fill the fridge, freezer and cabinets!! I can't do that at Giant, Safeway or Shoppers without spending $200 easily if not more! Thank God it's just me for the most part and occasionally my boyfriend and we are able to keep food in the house! I'm hooked on Aldi's!! I took one star because this trip they were lacking in customer service...not sure if that's the norm in the evening but that was my first experience with bad customer service. read more

Don't get me wrong i love aldis prices . Very good and bang for your buck . I always get snacks for my daughter and just small items here and there . Nothing over a few dollars . But the cashier that i had ? RUDE AF. Nasty Attitude and didn't even give me a bag when i asked for one and then had the audacity to still charge me and say "this is my cart" . Well i guess that is what happens when you shop at a discount store , discount customer service . I'll just come for the items and good deals , nothing more . read more

The cashier (whose picture I will post) just had a 10 (TEN) minute conversation with her boyfriend (who has obviously been feeding her too much) while not scanning a single item of mine. This was while there were also about 10 people in line behind me. She was also extremely rude to me when I gave her an annoyed look. I love a good deal but after this experience, I will never return to this hell hole you call a store!! read more

ALDI - Rudest cashier ever! Shame on you for hiring people like this, Aldi! - Grocery Near Me - Beltsville, Maryland

I like the place and the concept. I think aldi is a mini mini Costco! Reasonable prices for pretty decent product. Although the produce aisle is a hit or miss depending on what you are looking for and the lines are pretty long when people get off work. It's a bit like any other grocery store but think more minimal. Don't forget to bring your own bag and remember to grab a shopping cart because you may not leave with just one item, let's just be real. read more

Love this store! I'm so glad to be back in an area with Aldi's galore but this store will always be my favorite! The people here absolutely make it. Every smile gets a returned smile and greeting from the staff! The store is always clean and in order! The reason I can only give 4 stars is it is a smaller aldi and they don't seem to have the inventory of the larger aldi's. Gotta check this place out!! read more

Truly, this is a bargain hunters paradise. While, it may not have the largest variety, you have to give it 5 stars because it is the best at what it does. Aldi provides a great deal and lots of bang for your buck. Prices are probably even better than Costco and it makes a lot more sense to buy food her if you are shopping for 2-4 people. Last week, I brought groceries for the week. Compare this to your grocery bill... 2 loafs of bread @ $0.83 a piece, 2 XL pizzas I think $5 a piece, pre-med salad mix? $0.89 cents each (probably makes enough side salads for 4 people, full salads for 2) Jar of peanut butter? $2.89 box of cereal? $1.39 for 17oz box milk? $2.99 for a gallon There were a few more items that I bought and I can't remember the exact prices, but my total bill came out to under $40 and we have enough food for 2 people for probably 1-2 weeks. I mean, if you wanted to, you could live off of Aldi as a single person for $15-20 a week and probably have decent variety in your meals. It may not be the ideal nutritionist recommend diet, but it would probably be much better than what most Americans eat. I would really recommend it for a poor graduate student (I know there are quite a few down the street at Maryland), or anyone who just wants to spend their money on other things. read more

I have a love-hate relationship with Aldi. Though this Aldi is one of the better in the area (staff, selection and availability of items, and cleanliness), it still has the long lines and the frustrating layout of aisles. Costco is across the street so, I like to stop here when I'm in the area to get a few low priced organic produce items and, also, items I don't care to buy name-brand. The items are far cheaper than the average grocery store and comparable quality, but everything is not good here, so buy cautiously. Also, as with any store, check the expiration dates. A friend of mine says she brought home food and the expiration date had already passed. If you have patience and in the area, I recommend giving it a try. read more

We were told this grocery store was cheaper, what I didn't realize is they meant cheaper in a bad way. Not only do you have to 'rent' the shopping carts, but they also charge you 10 cents per bag and the store itself doesn't have crap in it. The commissary at the Dahlgren Naval Base is larger than this place and up until now I thought that was the smallest grocery store I had ever been in. There is also a hippy stink to the place and the self righteous aura of disdain for anyone just looking for cheaper groceries is apparent. My recommendation? Go down Baltimore Avenue for a few miles and shop at the Shopper's Warehouse. They don't charge you for bags and they don't rent you carts and believe it or not they're cheaper since they're in PG county. read more

This location is always crazy cramped. Glad they made one in Laurel though. Items like the meats haven't been good lately though...

Oh my goodness, who are all these people belly-aching about Aldi's?? To the people complaining about the quarter deposit for the carts: um, yea, that's how they offer such cheap prices, because they're not paying someone to chase down carts all the damn time. And as for the bag fee, that's par for the course everywhere in PG County, Montgomery County, and DC. If you'd rather just pay a higher price for groceries, then Aldi's is probably not the right place for you. I hate grocery shopping in general, but Aldi's is great. It's a small-ish store because they don't carry eighteen brands of ketchup, they just have the house brand, which is again good for you and your pocketbook because it's both tasty and cheap. Look, forget the ketchup, Aldi has shockingly good sweets (premium chocolates, etc). Kind of like Costco, there are certain products they stock all the time, and then random things that come and go. Similarly, they're not spending money making the store look "cute," so don't come here thinking it will be nice like Whole Foods or Trader Joe's. The only reason I don't come here more often is I can get 95% of what I need here, but not everything, and I hate making multiple trips. Don't come here looking for oddball specialty items, like vegetarian fake ground beef product. read more

I personally like ALDI's. It's the bargain version of their owner, Trader Joe's. I have seen all types of people from all backgrounds shop here and it has a nice neighborhood vibe. There aren't a lot of grocery options in CP, so I'll take what I can get. If I could, I would rate it 3.5 stars. If you shop mostly brand-name items, you will be disappointed here. There aren't a lot of international, specialty, or personal/home items either. Like Trader Joe's, they have a couple choices of everything (if any) and that's it. Sure, ALDI doesn't have everything you will need, but there are lots of surprises, too. Ibuprofen and vitamin gummies for $2. Bakery style bread, specialty cheeses, frozen items, and dairy that would cost you double at Shoppers. Even though the produce aisle is limited, the food isn't decaying like some of the big-box grocers. I don't shop here every week, but its a great place to get cheap everyday items you will always need. Although a lot of people might think "renting" a shopping cart for a quarter is weird, it keeps the overall costs down and protects your property. ALDI doesn't have to pay employees to herd carts in the parking lot and you don't have to worry about rogue carts damaging your car. Plus you get the quarter back when you return the cart. read more

Wish I had the option for Zero stars. This is the most poorly run company. 1. No way for a customer to contact any store to ask a question and no customer service phone number. 2. Store is out of stock on multiple products with unhelpful and unproductive employees. 3. Extremely rude cashiers and have no experience with customer service. Will not shop at this store again. Poorly managed corporation. It's 2015, which company does not have phone numbers for a consumer to contact the store? read more

This Aldi location had stepped up its game and raised the bar for grocery stores in the area. It was recently renovated and if not for the signage you would not even know you were in Aldo's. More brand names than any other Aldi location that I have visited. Gluten-free options. Fresh veggies including plantain and avocados! I get me Kefir from this location to make my family healthy smoothies. I get wild caught salmon. I get gelato and fruit bars! The customer service is much better than Safeway or Giant. Last but not least the prices ROCK..! read more

Just went for the first time tonight. New store just opened near me. Prices were great, $1.49 for a gallon if milk! The produce was also nice. Mostly generic items, but excellent prices on them. The bagging was nit what I pictured. Thiught I would bag as they scanned but that was hard to do. Will plan vetter next time and I believe it'll be smoother. read more

One star for the service I received here is an overstatement! Gena is the rudest person I have ever met! I drove my mom to get TP and picked up 2 packs for myself. She screamed at us loud and rude to social distance even after I informed her that she was my mom. Then when I placed my TP on the convarebelt it kept going while she was ringing up the customer in front of me. I informed her that one of the packs she had was mine(she should of known because she already had rung up 2 for him and that's the TP limit in there) she screamed "well you have 5 packs between the 2 of you!" I said , "I don't even know him and I just wanna make sure you don't sell him my TP" she laughed and yelled "well you shouldn't of had it on the belt! Only one person on the belt at a time!" Then when I get up there I told her I was paying for my moms and she was hesitant to ring me up even tho my mom was present with me. So after that I said we don't live together do you wanna see ID? She was just so snide and rude. I asked her if she used to be police and she told me that "you need to chill out" I said "no you need to calm down , we are all in the same boat" in any event my mom had went to the bathroom and I went to the car. My mom said on the way out of the store the cashier said "your daughter is just so nice!" The lady was rude and I Bet if you go shop in the next 60 days with this covid-19 going on , you will really get to see just ok how nasty and rude she is to customers. FYI you do not need to put 6 feet between you and your family members if in public, lol she made my mom and I stand 6 feet apart and this isn't how social distancing works, families social distance together. read more

Great selection at half the price of a regular grocery store. I found my favorite tea here because they carry off brand overstock items and I haven't been able to find it again anywhere else. That's the one downside to how aldis is run - you are never guaranteed to find the same thing twice. read more

Aldi is the best grocery store. I liked this one more than some other ones I've shopped also. Come here for groceries!

I love you he savings, but most of the staff is rude! They stock with an attitude! They're the reason for 2 stars.

There are a lot of things I like about the Aldi store in Beltsville. The prices are amazing and their store brands are (with few exceptions) as good as or better than their name brand counterparts. In my experience the staff are friendly and efficient 90% of the time. It's close to home (closest, in fact) and right next to my TD Bank branch. There are access points both on St. Mary's and US Route 1, the latter with a traffic light so I can safely turn left on Route 1 without having to wait forever and have to floor the accelerator to get back in traffic. So yeah, many good things. I don't even mind the 25 cent cart rental or the penalty for forgetting to bring reusable bags; lower costs, save the environment and such. (And really, if you're in a hurry you can bite the bullet, buy more bags and leave the cart for someone who will cheerfully return the cart for you to make $0.25. You will probably still come out ahead over shopping at the full-price chains.) If it were not for the negatives I would shop there for almost all my regular needs. So, what are the negatives? First and foremost is the parking lot. This Aldi location has waaaay too few parking spots for the amount of business they do, the lanes are narrow and the parking spaces are narrow as well. I don't know whether to blame Aldi or whatever developer bribed the zoning board for a permit for such a small lot. Whatever the reason I sometimes drive up and cannot find a spot so I end up going elsewhere. Secondly, the selection at this Aldi isn't that great. I'll chalk this up to being a small store of a bargain chain, but it's annoying at times when you can't find all the ingredients you need for a recipe. Also, for some items the availability is intermittent; one week they'll have something I love to buy there and other weeks it's just gone. It's disappointing to make the trip and come up empty-handed. Third -- and I have confirmed this with friends and family -- produce items bought at this Aldi do not seem to last as long as they do when purchased elsewhere. Bagged lettuce (I'm busy; don't judge me) for instance starts to turn brown in a couple of days. I've had similar experiences with other vegetables. Maybe they buy older produce? Maybe it's that they don't keep things as cold and/or mist them on displays like the bigger chains? I don't know, but I've learned not to buy veggies there unless I will use them within the next 24-48 hours, tops. Last but not least (and I realize this is part of their model to offer low prices) the place is constantly an anthill. Lines often grow long, shelf stocking staff all but push you out of the way, empty/disorganized displays abound and the aisles are really narrow. And, when you get to the checkout the cashiers hurry you so [much] it makes you feel like you're in the way. So, in summation, if you like great prices and can shop here during slow times this is the place to go. Don't forget to bring your bags or a quarter for the cart, and don't expect to find everything you need there every time. Other than the irritations this is a well-run store. read more

This grocery store is simple and straight to the point. I decided to go here to save money during my off week and I was pleasantly surprised to spend under $50 for all of my key items. I wouldn't say this is my go to store, but I would definitely go back... My only complaint was that the store was missing key items and the store itself was disorganized and messy. read more

This store is so great. They have everything You need! Go fast because they run out fast. Don't forget bags or boxes like at Costco. You do your own bagging! read more

Aldi stores have some good deals and good prices, but there is a price to pay for that too. There is not much of a variety of choices. But the biggest problem is checkout. There are never enough registers open so there's always a line. They need to have an express line for just few items. read more
