This Westmont location was the first Aldi I ever went to. I must say, I am impressed! Typically, I will shop at other big-named grocery stores. But, when you have to pay for your groceries at the end of your shopping experience, you will notice the giant amount of savings! On average, I would say the typical item from Aldi is about ~30% cheaper than other grocery stores.
Overall, the store is extremely clean and "new" looking (it is a rather new location). The selection is great and I can purchase many of the usual basic groceries (e.g. produce) without having to look elsewhere. Likewise, they have other big-named brands such as Coca-Cola if you are looking for items like that, too. Plus, they have a couple aisles that have unique home-goods and other little gifts that are sold only at Aldi that partially changes seasonally.
The only critique I have is the method in shopping at Aldi. To get a shopping cart, you must enter a quarter inside of the shopping cart to remove it from the cart corral in the front of the store. You will get your quarter back after shopping so that is not the issue, however, it is slightly inconvenient. You may choose to use boxes that they have in the front of the store, but, unless you are shopping for only a few things, that usually will not suffice. Also, you must purchase shopping bags for use at the checkout line. But, it's nice since you can reuse them each time you go.
In short, while I may not be able to complete a whole shopping experience here every week, I will save tons of money by utilizing Aldi for most of the essentials! read more
