    Hours on their door.

    This is my favorite German-style Supermarket. I like it better than the new Lidl that was built a block away. However, if their sign says open at 8am, I don't expect to be writing outside in the cold at 8:10 waiting for them to open.

    What do you get when your combine a Costco with a 7-11? You end up with an Aldi's Grocery Store.... My very first visit to Aldi's required a little getting used to their "business model." First and foremost, the shopping carts are locked up. You have to pay 25-cents to get a cart. The idea is that people will return the shopping carts when they are done and retrieve their quarter. It seems that virtually everyone does this...but for a mere quarter, it hardly seems worth the hassle. Once inside I was underwhelmed by the size of the place. Perhaps 10,000 square feet (about 1/5 the size of a regular grocery store). That 10,000 square feet is devoted mainly to pallet-size grouping of various foods - canned/boxed foods are very popular. You will find only the basics...and things that people are likely to buy in bulk. The prices are very competitive, but again - selection and variety are ho-hum at best. When you go to check out, you have to pay a dime for each bag. What is particularly odd about this is that they do not bag your groceries...they just scan then and throw them into your cart. Once you pay, they have a little shelf where you can go and bag your own groceries if you feel the need. The one bright-spot is the incredible prices on canned food. Those of you who are "preppers" might be interested in the $0.49 full size cans of corn, peas, green beans, and other basic staples. They also have plenty of $2-3 cans of spam, ham, chunk chicken,etc. 20-Pack of 24oz bottled water can be found for under $3 - another impressive bargain. If you a a prepper - you might really like this place. However, it would be impossible to use Aldi's as your primary grocery store due to the lack of variety and selection. If you shop at Aldi's, you will still need to make a visit to the traditional grocery store...personally, this is not worth the time, effort or hassle in my opinion. Cash/Debit Only...They do not accept credit cards 5-Stars for Preppers / 2-Stars for Everyone Else

    That's a whole lot of food for $22!

    I cannot say enough good things about shopping at Aldi. I have known about this chain for years, but after moving here a year ago, I decided to check out the Cary location. The produce in this store is amazing. There are a lot of organic options. You cannot beat the price. If you are not satisfied with something, simply tell them next time you come in and they will refund you the price and you can pick out that item again to try(or something similar) for free! Dairy products are a go to.

    LOTS OF GREAT ORGANIC FOODS..

    You have to have a quarter to use the cart, and have to push it back to the store to get your quarter back.

    I've generally been pretty pleased with Papa Spud's. I've been seeking to purchase organic and…read morelocal now for maybe about seven or eight years now. I switched from Whole Foods to Weaver Street Market back in 2012, and then when the Durham Food Co-op opened I started going there also; however, without a car the distance just got to be too much. It was nice sometimes to read the news on my phone while on the bus system, but I decided it just took too much time, energy, and effort to go from Raleigh to Chapel Hill or from Raleigh to Durham for food shopping. So the system I have now is to buy grains and other non-perishables from Thrive Market and then fresh produce via Papa Spud's. The first order that I made from Papa Spud's was in February of 2017. I like the newsletters that they include in every box and I read them when the box arrives. There's news about farms in the area and farming, recipes, storage tips and other content. So other than that a few times I was away and forgot to cancel the order in time. But I still remembered before the actual delivery. So I just let them know that far enough in advance and they could just donate the box to charity. I had to pay for the food, but I didn't have to deal with a box of spoiled food when I got back that could attract bugs, etc. And plus the box went to charity. Overall I'd say it's been good quality. In terms of quality I remember that Papa Spud's ran a newsletter piece about food waste and people's expectations of what food ought to look like. They pointed out that a lot of food that wouldn't be likely to cause a health problem in a human nevertheless gets thrown away (or possibly eaten by animals) because people don't want to buy it and eat it. Or when they are at a grocery store they decide to pick something else. Maybe say for example because it is oddly shaped. Or another example would be that purple carrots may not sell as well in a store than orange carrots. Looking in the history section of the Wikipedia article on carrot one can see that carrots actually can range in color. There is a photo there with carrots of all different colors arranged in a circle. In the article it talks about the question of whether orange carrots were grown in the 17th century by Dutch growers to honor the Dutch flag (which was orange as it was based on the flag of Prince William of Orange-Nassau). So I had heard that before. A person by the name of Jonathan Bloom who lives in Durham wrote a book called American Wasteland about food waste in the United States which made similar points to the Papa Spud's newsletter article. Even so I could comment that they provide a way for customers to let them know if food arrives in a damaged state. I could say that I have used that so far on one occasion when I saw some mold on a strawberry. Rob M. also responded in a comprehensive way to a question that I had related to the extent of tobacco farming in the area. I read a bit about organic tobacco farming some time ago. As far as I know there hasn't been any major finding that smoking organic tobacco doesn't have the same health effects as smoking conventional tobacco. One final comment is that there are other delivery services. So doing Google searches I landed on a website called LocalHarvest.org (my brother works at the University of British Columbia Farm and had heard of the site). There was a review of one of the delivery services which stated that this provider doesn't say the source farm for the produce. The review said that they didn't want to use that because of labor conditions at certain farms. Papa Spud's will report the name of the farm although there isn't any way to search for a particular farm. In my case I'm often just buying the same veggies from the same farms (sweet potatoes, collards, kale from Wise Farms and Cox Farms). I believe I also purchased from both of their farm stands when I used to go to the North Carolina State Farmers Market. I don't know the labor conditions on all the different farms in the area, but I think it was that review that led me to pick Papa Spud's.

    customer service could use a lot of work. Not helpful and condescending when we were trying to…read moreremedy the situation, which was just simply giving them our new credit card information. Big bummer. We went with another local instead.

My favorites are strawberry and tangerine, but my mom loves the peach and the chocolate flavors. I also treated myself to the picual olive oil for dipping bread and it's so fruity and fresh! Light years better than grocery store olive oil. The store has sample cups around for customers to try all the flavors. I recommend bringing a bottle of water because the vinegar does tend to dry out your throat a bit. They also have a customer loyalty punch card so you can get a free bottle, which is really fun.

Parking is problematic as the lot is diminutive so spots are at a premium. We lucked out... The shop is medium sized with 2 rooms and check out area. It houses 65+ Balsamic vinegars and Olive oils with varied flavor profiles; sweet, savory, sour, spicy, and everything in between. Our tour guide, one of the proprietors, was knowledgeable, but somewhat aloof. She prepared fresh popcorn and bread for tasting, and offered us fresh apple cider. The oils and vinegars are aged 12-18 years, depending on the product, and stored in fusti's. They sell them in several sizes, and allow for bundles at discounted prices. $7-$20 seemed to be the range. Tuscan oil is there most popular, and sweet balsamics are said to be great on salads/vanilla ice cream. Personally, I gravitated toward the oils with heat, and one in particular (peri peri), transported me back to my 12 year old self enjoying the above in Southern Africa. Thanks for the tour, and back to the future moment.

Although this location is smaller than some other Fresh Market stores, it offers the same open-market charm as other locations (maybe even more so because the smaller size gives a more authentic market feel). The store is clean, well-organized, and never crowded. I also really enjoy the ready-to-cook packaged meals for 2 or 3 (depending on age/appetite) which are very convenient for a quick home-made dinner, but also pretty tasty too. That said, I'm docking a star for one consistent issue: it's often hard to find staff on the floor who are available or eager to help locate hard-to-find items. For a new customer, that can be frustrating. The cashiers are friendly, but with only one or two usually working, asking for assistance sometimes means waiting until they've finished a line of transactions, which shouldn't be necessary in a well-staffed store. A lovely store with great offerings--but the lack of accessible customer service brings the overall experience down a bit unfortunately.

But lately when picking up groceries that have been ordered online......there has been a very obvious pattern developing. If an item is on sale, such as buy a certain number and get a certain number free.....the store will "conveniently" be short of one item so that you don't qualify for the sale and they charge you full price for the rest of said items. Secondly and more frustrating, we are now getting numerous EXPIRED items, or DAMAGED / OPENED items.....that they clearly could NOT sell in the store. This is NOT just happening to my groceries, but also to MANY of my neighbors in our nearby community. At first I thought nothing of it, but now after talking with many of my neighbors and it happening SEVERAL times...it's clearly a SCAM to make MORE PROFIT. I have posted this on several online forums and reported this to the Better Business Bureau providing them with dated receipts and photos of the goods in question. You should be ASHAMED of yourselves. There are plenty of nearby options other than this criminal establishment. You have now lost SEVERAL customers due to your petty schemes and scams.
