Mind blowing concept for cart usage. $.25 to use the cart but you get it back when you PHYSICALLY WALK IT BACK TO THE RETURN! All stores should adapt this. End of positive rant. Came on a busy Sunday and really didn't know what to expect as this was my first time ever in an Aldi. Was a bit messy and chaotic but found a couple things for the work week lunch and walked out. Would say 3 star experience but still mind blown for the carts. read more

I'm not sure what's going on but for the last 3-4 months aldis in enfield has been selling food that is bad. From meats not expiring but smelling very foul when you open package and fruits with mold. Canned peaches tasted old as well I'm kind of upset this was my go to store and now I have to wait for the east Windsor new location to open because I refuse to waste money at the enfield location read more

I always feel like I must be cheating when I fill my Aldi's car ($.25 refundable when you return the cart), and the tab is something like $45.00--which at any other grocery, including Costco wholesale warehouse, would be at least double. Cost isn't everything, so I also appeciate the fresh produce, the wide variety of meats and dairy (like half & half cheaper than Costco), and the frozen fish (which I sure is purchased from the same source as Aldi's brother store--Trader Joe's), like wild salmon and ahi tuna. I love the European chocolate variety as well. If I have any complaints they are: not everything is always in stock. We had a week or so without celery. AND, my #1 complaint everywhere is Canola oil in almost all packaged foods. I wish I could get the cashews and mixed nuts without Canola. Canola is a BAD oil, super hydrogenated to kill the hexane poison used to extract oil from the rapeseed. Monsanto doesn't care. But, we should! That said, I am an Aldi's fan for everything else. read more

I'm a big Aldi fan, and this location is well stocked and very clean. Associates are friendly and efficient. During the Covid pandemic the store took extra steps like cleaning the carts and limited number of shoppers in the store. Always well stocked with toilet paper, paper towels and essential food items. read more

Let me start off saying I love Aldi's however the Enfield store is consistently out of stock. It is hard to keep shopping here when you are not able to buy your products. The AOS is frequently in disarray and sometimes their produce is not the freshest. I will say they are quick to take back returns for items not up to par. read more

I just discovered Aldi last year after I moved to CT. I have also recently found out that in order to get a cart, you need to have a quarter (which will be refunded when you return the cart). I have always been able to find some good things at Aldi, grocery items are extremely reasonably priced, like discount pricing and there is a mix of branded and off-brand items. I took a risk in November on advent calendar release day and took the day off to head to Aldi to pick up the cheese advent. Depending on where you are located geographically I hear these advents (including the wine and beer) can be sold out within minutes, so I was excited to see only 3-4 people in line before me. Aldi had a good supply of beer and cheese advents and so i had no trouble buying a couple of the cheese ones. Would I take the day off and buy again this year? Sure would! I only wish CT allowed wine sales in the grocery store as I'd love to pair my cheese advent with the wine advent! read more

I was totally excited to find out there was a decently priced grocery store nearby. The Big Y can get expensive. I was even more stoked to discover that Aldi was owned by Trader Joe's, meaning they will have quality items for fairly cheap. If you have been to a Trader Joe's, you know what I am talking about. I find that their organic stuff is much cheaper than the Big Y and Stop and Shop. Keep in mind that they keep their price low by charging customers for certain things. When you first get to the place, you will notice that there are shopping carts to the left of the entrance. Those carts will require you to deposit a quarter, allowing you to remove the chain from the cart. Why is this? I think it's to 1) Prevent people from walking off with their carts and 2) Allows the store to minimize the amount of employees they need to hire. They don't have to pay someone to hunt the parking lots for carts left astray. Great Idea! As you walk the isles, you will see items that are a few items that are not name brand, but similar to the more popular labels. For example: Capri Sun and Cocoa Puffs. If you are a label king or queen and want to pay more for the name brand stuff, then this may not be the place for you. To me, they all taste the same. Don't get me wrong, they do have name brand stuff, just not as much as a normal grocery store. The items will vary and the produce section doesn't always have everything you may be looking for, but there is a decent amount. The store is small and as stocked as it can be. I normally come here first, get my things for the best deals, and get the rest at the other grocery store. That way I maximize the amount of money I save. Yes, going to a few places may be too much for some people, but if you want to save, you do what you gotta do. There was a huge line and only one register open. They were closing the second one... I don't know, maybe it was lunch time? There are no baggers, so they simply put all your stuff back into a grocery cart, again, saving money. You can purchase plastic bags here, they are ten cents apiece, but I recommend bringing your own bags. You will see people walking out the store carrying all their goods. Saving the environment and money, boom! When you purchase your items, you must use cash or a debit card. Probably to minimize paying creditors for each individual transaction that is conducted. Once you pay for your items, you can slide to the little counter tops before the exit doors to bag up your stuff. When you put the link connector back into your cart, you will get your quarter back. Sweet deal! Overall, this place is awesome sauce! For people who would rather pay more for someone to put their cart away, "free" plastic or paper bags, a bagger and name brand only stuff, may want to avoid this place. But if you want to save, this is the place! It's clean! read more

I'm a speed shopper. I like to run into a store, grab a cart, go through the aisles as fast as I can, and just throw whatever I need in the cart. Aldi was designed for me. There are no frills here. Most of the rows are just cases of food, with the one on top opened so you can grab the items. Almost everything is one of Aldi's own brands, but they'll have namebrand closeouts on occasion. The problem with shopping at Aldi so often is that I forget that other stores tend to sell garbage under their own name. Aldi's brands are top notch, and I get the idea in my head that other store brands will be okay. That's when stuff ends up in the trash. Solution? Just stick to Aldi. From their Mama Cozi frozen pizza, to their Friendly Farms yogurt, the food is good. Not just that, but it's dirt cheap. They save money every way they can. This means that you'll end up with $100 worth of food for about $40. I'm not exaggerating here. I made a point of adding this location in Enfield because I've been to two other locations, and they just didn't compare. Aldi is a great value anyway, but some of the stores are lacking. Okay, maybe it's just that I've been to the more hood locations, like New Britain and East Hartford, but those other two stores always seemed to be out of a lot of stuff. The one in Enfield keeps up on the stock. Also, the produce is a lot better here than the other locations. I've even been here while someone was teaching a new employee how to spot produce that had to be rotated out. The other locations seem to just let the stuff sit there until it's gone, which results in displays full of bruised, soft fruit and vegetables. There's a $0.25 "deposit" to use a shopping cart. They only accept debit cards and cash. Oh, and you'll have to bag your own groceries with your own bags (you can buy bags on location). If you can deal with that, then come to Aldi. The only product I've found that I wouldn't buy again is the shelf-stable tortellini. The stuff in the cooler is good, but the stuff that doesn't have to be refrigerated is filled with a super-salty, stinky, weird cheese product. Everything else has been great, and you can't beat the price. read more

Packaged products galore! If you shop mainly processed and packaged products, this supermarket is for you! For those who are more health conscious, there are some options for you but you really have to look for them. The vegetables look alright- wouldn't say they look super fresh, but will do just fine if you are going to cook it right away. Bonus points for their super low prices. I just wonder where the products come from and why they are so cheap. read more

Best place to go grocery shopping hands down. Cheapest prices you will ever find and won't need coupons. Get a quarter for the shopping cart "which you'll get back" and your (own) bags. You can buy paper or canvas type bags at the register if you want and you can reuse them. Very organized and clean. Shop here you won't be disappointed. read more

Never had an issue with Aldi's before. I always went to the one in Milford, CT with no issues. I just bought a package of 6 pork chops in there - they are supposed to be good until 6/22 - it is 6/11, I bought them last night. I went to cook them today and only the top two - the visible ones through the package - are good. The rest are brown and slimy. I am so mad, and no, I am not going to drive 25 minutes at dinner time to bring them to the store. I will not be back and I will be sure to share this issue. read more

I went to the Enfield, Conn. yesterday afternoon. I spent $60.00 and was very happy with the store & the products offered.I paid the cashier, took the receipt and said thank you very much. The cashier just went on to the next customer, I said thank you again just in case the clerk didn't hear me & I didn't want to appear rude.The clerk just ignored me & told the next person in line to take the stuff out of the box.. I will not return to shop at the store .The owner's & management really need to teach their staff so manner's & customer service. until then I will tell my friends not to shop there because the staff is VERY rude. read more

The produce is hit or miss, but the bananas are always good. It is not name brand, but who cares, it's still acceptable. Only complaint is they run out of stuff on the shelves and there is no one around usually to ask for more. There is seasonal items too. They do have an ever growing selection of organic and natural items. Also, be sure to check your receipt because the cashiers try and go too fast and have screwed my order up. Overall, it's a fast and cheap shopping experience. The Enfield store is the best Aldi I've been to. read more
