I cannot count how many months it's been since I've wrote a review, so my skills maybe a little dusty, but Il'l try to spotlight the highlights for you all to believe the hype about why it's healthy to have an Aldi Addiction.
Yes addiction. I'll admit it.
My name is Tam M and I'm an ALDI ADDICT.
What else would you call it when someone always goes to a place no matter what else they have to do...I cannot pass up an opportunity to shop at this place. PERIOD. I don't know why it took me so long to investigate Aldi, but I'm glad my curiosity got the best of me one day and I decided to venture inside.
When I first heard of Aldi, I just thought it was another chain convenience store with mostly overpriced items like our fair Walgreens and CVS. Boy was I wrong. This Aldi has lots of light, a variety of items, and my favorite part--great prices! You may not see any of your well known Brand name items here, but the quality is just as good--maybe even better than those popular national name brands. From Aspirin to Zucchini (which is usually 99 cents a package), you'll find what you need at a fraction of the cost at Aldi. Granted, this is place is not very big--maybe even microscopically small compared to a Kroger, HEB, or Wal-Mart, however, you'll find yourself in and out in half the time shopping here versus the former mentioned marketplaces. Best part: if you forget something, you don't have to walk down 10 aisles to find it again.
Although some prices for certain items are questionable, the main reason I go to Aldi is to check out the produce section. It's a little small, but they always have a sell on something that would cost me double and triple the price at other places. For example, since shopping at Aldi, I have always been able to buy pineapple for 99 cents. Zucchini squash has also became a staple at my house because I can buy a package for 99 cents. In the past, I've purchased a 5lb bag of potatoes and carrots for less than a dollar. Today's purchase: a 5lb bag of sweet potatoes for 99 cents. Super Score! Only thing you must make sure you do is have a bag with you when you shop or be willing to pay 25 cents to rent a buggy. This European based company believes in going green and takes the go green initiative seriously. If you forget to bring a bag, no worries. There are usually boxes to use to shop around with since the displays are not on shelves but made up of mostly the boxes containing the product. It's a beautiful concept that keeps customers happy and employees calm cool and collective since they so not have to stand on their feet and bag groceries all day. They actually sit on stools while they check you out. Such a humane thing to do Aldi!
So the next time you see an Aldi, make sure you check it t for yourself and save a few bucks too. You won't be disappointed in making Aldi you're one stop shopping headquarters too. read more
