My Aldi journey has fluctuated over the years. I went from being a total Aldi hater, to being indifferent to Aldi, to being an Aldi apologist. Part of the reason for me becoming an Aldi convert is this particular Aldi on 86th Street. I now consider this Aldi my "home" Aldi, because it's located in my adopted neighborhood of Nora, and it's just off of the Monon Trail. I'm at this Aldi all the time, because I'm in this area a lot of the time. I'm so familiar with this Aldi that I don't even blink an eye at the produce in cardboard boxes anymore! I revel in the bleak aesthetics and harsh lighting! I kind of really love that I can't find everything on my grocery list! And now, I make sure to always have a quarter with me, just in case I need a shopping basket. But more often than not, I am able to fit everything in a reusable bag, which I make sure is in my car at all times, just in case I need to make an Aldi run. Aldi has changed me a little bit, and that's OK. A fun thing that I discovered, after shopping at Aldi several times, is that many of the products that they sell -- especially in the cheese section -- are most likely also Trader Joe's products, but in a different package. Also, some of my favorite tortillas chips are at Aldi, and they have a decent wine section! Wine lovers should not sleep on Aldi's wine offerings, because they have some diamonds. Usually, there is only one checkout line open. But I never have to wait long -- they are super efficient here at this Aldi. They will get you in and out quickly. read more

This is probably one of the nicest locations in the Indianapolis area. We've probably been to seven or eight Aldi and this one is very well organized with wide isles and a great produce section. You will find all your favorite parts of all, including lots of home items that you don't need, Seasonal food items in the Aldi Finds section and great prices on baby items and more. This location is conveniently located surrounding several grape restaurants and neighboring The Monon trail read more

This Aldi is super new and super clean, probably the cleanest Aldi I've ever seen. Something not every state has, this Aldi has an aisle of wines including local varieties. It's also neighbors with Total Wine, making this aisle kind of a wild card. The cashiers were quick as always, and kind. The grocery selection is good, produce to baking staples to the cold cases, but the Aldi Finds aisle is fun. Clothes? Gardening tools? Plants and furniture even? You never know. The wine and Finds aisle make this a fun place to run errands or poke around, maybe after a ride on the neighboring Monon Trail. Enjoy! read more

ALDI - Not bad! - Grocery Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

A decent little grocery with great prices and easy to shop products. I don't need 10 different choices for cream cheese. I just want spaghetti sauce, I don't want to look through a whole shelf at different kind's. This is the beauty of ALDI! All the stuff you need without the bullshit. Organic produce, nice lunch meats, dips, salsa. They have almost everything at a good price. You may not find that one specialty ingredient you use every once in awhile, but they do have most. Here are my takes on ALDI style: Checkout Lines look long, but move fast. Bring your own bag, stop using plastic bags. Always remember to keep a quarter in your car for a cart. Put the cart back, don't leave it in the parking lot. Customers usually let people cut when they only have 1 or 2 things. They have nice restrooms. Look for the red and white signs for special deals. Always go with a list! read more

Well color me green with envy! This new store is lovely, spacious and makes me want to stay a while. I do love my neighborhood store, but the thought of cruising through the aisles without having to dodge other shoppers is a dream come true. They've stocked their seasonal items and have Pumpkin Pie ice cream, Apple Cider cookies, cider and pumpkins for the picking at just $1.99 each. Their refrigerated and frozen food sections seem enormous compared to their other stores, but don't be fooled, they still have the same low prices and generous parking lot. I love that people who have never shopped here are now discovering what the fuss is all about. I'll definitely frequent this location more often! read more

I have loved Aldi for as long as I can recall, but this situation bothered me. Our baby was crying so we pulled over to get milk, as she was out. I went into the Aldi and grabbed milk and a few other items. There was only one lane open for checkout. I was in a hurry to get the milk to the baby. I boxed up the items and carried them out to the car. In the parking lot, the box collapsed and my items poured all over the ground. They all busted open and everything was ruined. This was totally my fault. I kneeled down and spent several minutes cleaning up the glass, as I was worried someone would lose a tire. Then I went back in and saw that there was still only one lane open and, I counted, 12 people in line. I went to the cashier and said "This was totally my fault. Can you please just replace the milk. Here's my receipt. I've spent 10s of thousands of dollars here and never asked an item to be replaced. I do not have time to wait through this line. My baby is crying." She replied "No. Once you walk out with the item there's nothing we can do. You'll need to get back in line and pay again." I drove across the street to the Kroger. I had a cut on my hand, from cleaning up the glass, which I had wrapped in a paper towel. The cashier was looking at it, so I explained to her what had happened. She called the manager over and they comped the milk. The manager said "At Kroger, you're more than just a $2 gallon of milk." So Kroger has a new customer and Aldi has one less. It was my fault the box broke. Still, seems wrong how Aldi handled it. read more

ALDI - This is after I cleaned up all the glass. - Grocery Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

Aldi is my love language and this is the best in town! It is never too busy, the aisles are huge, and of course the cashiers are speedy. They offer many organic food options, all the wine, and the charcuterie section is unmatched. Don't get me started on the aisle of shame! That is aldi nerd speak for the middle aisle where you'll see must-have items ranging from candles to camping gear. If you're not an Aldi shopper, start at this location and you'll be sure to become one! Grab your quarter and have a ball! read more

Haven't been to Aldi in years. I am trying to break out of my habit of going to one main chain to get groceries. I remember Aldi being a little different than it is now. I took my own bags and made sure I had a quarter for a cart. Also made sure they take credit cards. They didn't use to. They have some national brand stuff like Kraft Miracle Whip and Kraft Shells and Cheese. The Cheese and Charcuterie area rivals most other chains. Will have to see if we like the taste of things like the ketchup. I'm picky about ketchup. They didn't have any chocolate ice cream or Lysol Laundry Sanitizer, but other then that found what I needed and more. If they got rid of the stuff I call crap in the middle aisle they could carry more grocery items. read more

Although this isn't the closest Aldi to me, I frequent it a lot. I especially stop here if I'm looking for certain items that I've been unable to find at other locations. I can luck up here sometimes. It's clean and organized and the employees are friendly and helpful. Special shoutout to Corey who helped me get an item I was struggling with and allowed me to borrow his cart. His help was greatly appreciated. All of the employees here display friendliness and good attitudes. read more

I LOVE Aldi's! This store is large and very well organized and stocked!!! I went during the day so it wasn't very crowded. It is kind if tucked away from the street, so I'm hoping more people become aware of this location. I feel like there aren't many locations, so I'm glad they've opened this one! Its conviently located in the Nora area. I'm hoping they do more coupons in the mail so others can find out about this amazing new store!!! One thing I love is that no matter the updates they do within the store, it never raises the prices of the items!!! Things I LOVE about Aldi -great prices -great selection for orgainic and gluten free options -offer some name brand items such as poptarts & cheerios -great produce thats fresh -double replacement guarantee, they will replace the item AND refund your money Things YOU need to know -bring a quarter for your shopping cart -bring your own bags so you don't have to pay for them (10 cents for plastic, 5 cents for paper) read more

Came here to pick up some quick snacks and I was blown away with how massive and clean this store is! The Aldi by my house is maybe 1/3 of the size. All the products were well-stocked, organized, and the employees were quick and efficient. They have a wine/beer selection along with a lot of fresh meat. I will definitely be in here more frequently and stock up on some great snacks - for an awesome price! read more

I had not been in an Aldi store in quite a few years since I moved to Indy, so when I stopped in to pick up a few items, I was reminded of how wonderful Aldi really is and how great of a selection they have on products. The unique thing about Aldi is they promote recycled bags and organic natural products. You have to put in a quarter at the slot to obtain a shopping cart and use recycled bags to bag your own groceries. The best part of Aldi is how cheap it is to shop there among other grocery store brands. They have unbeatable prices on their produce and selection of products. I save money here than at other grocery stores. I like the fact that they promote recycling and using recycled bags for groceries because it shows they are doing their part to help take care of the environment. I plan to shop at Aldi regularly going forward, because you cannot go wrong with their products and their prices. It's incredible! read more

No complaints. Great prices, friendly employees, and you're through the check out line in the blink of an eye. The staff has tried a lot of the food and can tell you about specific items if you ask. Even if they haven't tried it, they can usually tell you if something is a big seller or not. The store is always clean and stocked. Yay, Aldi! read more

This Aldi is newer and was actually an old marsh. It's very nice inside, clean, and lots of selection! Their produce section has lots of organic at reasonable prices! They also had a lot of name brand ice cream novelties including mini frozen snickers ice cream bars and m&m treats! read more

Love this Aldi! It's new and it's perfect! I drive a little further to come this Aldi, rather than going to the one closer to home because it's so much nicer here. I have been noticing Aldi's prices slowly sneaking up, so I'm about to be on the lookout to make sure they're not becoming as expensive as other stores. Almost everything I bought today has increased in price recently (especially fresh produce). read more
