Date of service: 1.25.25 Ambiance: it's Aldis Food: I've been very disappointed at this locations produce that they are putting out for customers. This location was always known for great looking fresh fruits/veggies and now it always seems to look like someone has played miniature golf with the produce before they set it out for consumption. This is Not ok! read more

This store is the absolute WORST Aldi location I have ever been to. It is always dirty, understaffed and the items are always picked over and not restocked. The cashier, Frances, was screaming at people to get out of the only other cashier's line and get in her line even though the other cashier had his light on and was checking people out. Who wants to shop and spend their money at a store to get screamed at by employees and wait in long lines because only one cashier is "open"? Not me, I'll never go back there! read more

To me Aldi is the same experience no matter which location you may be at. Expect to save money on your grocery bill when coming here, but also it cannot be the only place that you shop at since it is not going to have everything. I will always keep coming back to Aldi simply because it feels good to save so much money on groceries. Even though there is usually only one cashier the lines always move fast. read more

I would love it if in the weekends they scheduled more than one cashiers, this is my closest Aldi but I never shop here because the line is always so long!! read more

This is a small Aldi in Laurel about half the size of your average Trader Joe's. You have to pay a quarter to pull one of their carts from the lock, and once you're done using one, you get your quarter back. They don't provide bags, but you can grab cardboard boxes to carry groceries around the store or carry them out. You can also bring reusable bags or purchase one of their big rectangular totes for $6 (I bought one; hate when groceries slide around in the backseat). The prices are really rock bottom. A big jar of salsa is $1. Big bags of tortilla chips also $1. They have queso freco, which places like Safeway and Giant never carry. Their version of the Smartfood white cheddar popcorn is half the cost but tastes identical. Trust me on this one. I find the produce fresh and delicious. The store is well organized. The employees are meek, helpful when asked questions, and work with smiles on their faces and cheer in their voices. You won't find the elitist Whole Foods crowd shopping here, and I prefer it that way. Give it a try. I'll be back for 1,000 cups of their 88-cent rice pudding! read more

ALDI - This rice pudding is so so so good! It was only 88 cents! Will be buying many more. - Grocery Near Me - Laurel, Maryland

I have a love-hate relationship for Aldi's. The reason for this is I love their affordable prices. What I dislike about ALDIs- you have to double check your produce because they will leave old produce out sometimes. Now that I'm aware, I always check my produce in store, but other than that they have really great prices on their meats ,condiments, and other random items. If you're OK with bringing a quarter for your shopping cart and bagging your stuff to save some money; this will be the perfect place for you because on average I can save anywhere from $50-$70 on a shopping trip compared to going to a Wegmans or Harris Teeters. read more

ALDI - Front entrance - Grocery Near Me - Laurel, Maryland

Not a fan! Very rude employees at this location. The store itself isn't very clean. Won't be in a hurry to come back here at all! I just so happened to be in the area and needed a few things. Didn't even find 3 out of the 5 things I was looking for anyway. Oh well. I'll stick to my Beltsville location! read more

This store has very good prices on fresh vegetables and fruits. For example, spinach is $1.39, broccoli is $1.39, and baby carrots are 89 cents. These are regular prices, not sale prices. The only setbacks at the Laurel store are long pay lines, where only up to 2 cashiers are available. Also, the employees who stock the shelves at the produce area leave many empty boxes on the floor blocking customers from access to the food, which is also a safety hazard as I almost tripped trying to get a bag of spinach. Management should inform employees to stock shelves during downtime, not prime time, and pick up empty boxes from floors. read more

What if, instead of breaking into the only existing Surplus City with military-grade rocket launchers, Arnold Schwarzenegger's John Matrix made a wrong turn with the bulldozer and ended up at ALDI instead? Granted, Matrix's daughter Jenny, played by Alyssa Milano, wouldn't have been rescued in the 1985 film Commando, but look what would've been gained! If the ALDI at 14100 Baltimore Avenue in Laurel offers us any indication, Matrix would have enjoyed sumptuous displays of fresh asparagus, seedless grapes, mangoes, and blackberries; feasted on legendary refrigerated pizza varieties, including at least one with a cauliflower crust; scarfed down chocolate chip brioche bread, toasted as soon as he got home to use his toaster--all the while saving tremendous amounts of money because of ALDI's great prices and deals on limited-time items. Sorry, Jenny! read more

Really clean location with friendly staff. Great grocery store with fresh produce and wide open aisles.

This Aldi just opened in half the space formerly a Safeway. A sign says the other half is going to be a PetCo. Inside, same old cookie cutter store. For those of you who don't know, Aldi is a German owned chain. Two brothers disagreed over whether to offer alcoholic beverages, so they split the company and the other brother runs Trader Joe's. Very strong emphasis on low prices: bring or buy your bags, and have a quarter ready as a deposit to unlock a shopping cart. Lots of organic items, most vegetables and all meats are prepackaged. Good selection of basics, but don't look for shallots or fennel. Strong emphasis on house brands, which come close to brand quality. I'm a fan of the deli meats and salty snacks. You'll save on staples but it probably won't be your only grocery store. read more

Louis is the manager on duty. After standing in line for 20 minutes, they closed the line and Lois told us to get in the back of the other lines. He only told us after we searched for management to find out what was happening. Extremely unprofessional. Now two of the employees are arguing and cussing at each other in the front of the store. Next time, I'll go to Food Lion. read more

ALDI - Shoppers standing in the line that was closed. - Grocery Near Me - Laurel, Maryland

I was there today at 7.45 PM and heard the cashier say the bathrooms are closed for,the day ‍. Why is that. Is it the norm. There are kids and older sr shoppers . It is not fair if the store is open till a certain time every part of the store should be OPEN. BTW you are out of carbonaut bread and cheese stuffed mushrooms read more

I consider myself to be an Aldi expert of sorts. I mean I like going to different Aldi's in an effort to find out what they have. I mean you know that each one has different stuff and all.. Anywho, I had no idea that is Aldi existed, and that made me sad. This one was open, with plenty of spaces between aisles. They also had a good selection of foods. I don't know about you but I love the Specially Selected and organic brands that they have, totally reasonable. Despite it being a Monday it was still rather crowded. I thought it was quite odd that an employee was attempting to steam the floors despite all the traffic. Remember to bring your quarter and your carts. Pack your patience too when it comes to waiting in line. I never mind though because the deals are well worth it. read more

What can I say. Aldi is my all-time favorite grocery store no matter what any of my friends have to say. I love the new location because it is much closer to home than the Beltsvile location. In addition to distance, the parking lot is A THOUSAND times bigger and better to navigate than Beltsville. Aldi is Aldi so there isn't much to say. Some products rotate and you might miss out on one visit, but they're back in stock the next time. The cashiers are always pleasant and efficient. All around great store and no specific complaints here! read more

If you never been to Aldi follow these steps. 1)have a Quarter ready (2dimes & a nick not acceptable) your gonna need it for the cart. Don't worry you'll get it back. 2.) bring a bag or look for a empty container box in the store. 3) when checking out be ready to pack your own stuff. This smart store has a lot to chose from. People tend to think that shopping at Aldi is cheap. All depends what you buy. Back in the day Aldis were economically cheap. Today you find good items at a decent price. The veggie and fruit selection is actually good. read more

This store has terrible customer service. My friend's card declined for some reason even after she just transferred money into her account but She had enough cash to pay for the rest of my groceries anyway. However, the cashier started moving too fast and continued to ring up the next customer while my friend's transaction was still in place. Instead of carrying this situation calmly, the cashier had a disrespectful attitude the entire time and loudly announced how my card declined. Then the manager also had a bad attitude when the cashier needed assistance. This isn't the first time she's had a terrible experience here and I will personally never shop here again. There is another ALDI not too far away that we will be going to instead. read more

One checkout person at any grocery store at any time is unacceptable. I was just grabbing a few things, but put them all near the checkout as I was trying to be time efficient. Got the most important thing I was looking for at Dollar Tree next door read more

Unbelievably low prices. Plenty or mostly unrecognized labels yet very attractive packaging that will tempt you to explore and try. Aisle are spacious, well organised and well stocked during my trip. Great edition to our overcrowding RT1 grocery lane options. Yet this one tops the lowest price. Produce section reminds me of a SuperWalmart selection. I have tried some of their products from Bowie store but did not like them. I will give this trip one more chance. I bought some Hawaiian bread buns, rolls with chocolate and cold cuts that was flavorless. I thought the items were just not to our taste due to a foreign company ? I can't wait for you to try and give your observation. read more

Very nice Aldi location, clean with good atmosphere and area. Large floor plan with ample selection read more

Well, I bring my Walker & paper bags because I cant return the cart. They should figure out a better way for the disabled. Love the cheeses!! Truffle cheddar, all kinds of cheddar from Ireland at VERY low prices. The sliced cheeses not as much. Great prices on salad mixes, heirloom baby tomatoes, 1/2 & 1/2. The ice cream that mimics Ben & Jerry's is very good. Ditto ANY of the cakes, foods from Germany, this is a German owned company. Better than Girl Scout cookies for 99 cents & up. All kinds of French Brioche breads, rolls. German pork schnitzel. Even good dog treats. The seasoning aisle warrants a visit, great flavors @ very low price. I can't see making this a 1 destination grocery store, but is very good competition for Trader Joe's, its divorced brother, esp. The price of cheeses. Don't have the selection of TJs, but they are always fresh & much cheaper @as good or better quality. read more

Aldi of Laurel is the Aldi of Laurel. Overall it is a great shopping experience. Additionally, the cost of savings cannot be beaten. The quality of products is top-notch. My only complaint is the lack of some of their staple products some of the time. For example, I have been there before and could not find products that I know are available weekly. It is kind of annoying. On the flip side of that, sometimes I find a product, fall in love, and find out it was only available for a limited time. Case in point is the super yummy Geno's Deep Dish Pizza. When I do find it, I purchase about five pizzas as they are only available some of the time. read more

25€ gets you a shopping and an Aldi adventure! They have a little bit of everything you need and then some!! You are smart to bring in your own bags, but you can always buy some at the register. They have their own food brand, but also carry mainstream brand names. Groceries, pet supplies, hygiene supplies, and cool isles of miscellaneous and sales on things like dishes, household supplies, seasonal clothes ... things change in these isles, so get it while you can because it might not come back until the next season. Cheddar cheese blocks are a WIN!!! Remember, you bag your own items , kinda like at Sam's. Price seem cheaper, but not cheaply made. They even carry a few specialty products like gluten-free, etc. I would say that it is nice for a smaller shopping list or a quick dash in and out. A cute store and a welcomed way to save. Don't forget to get your quarter back whenever you are done :) read more

I'll admit I'm a little afraid to post this out of superstitious fear that it'll ruin a good thing... I first experienced an Aldi overseas in a country known for posh shopping experiences and high prices. It was quite a shock to go from the Migros and Manors to what is obviously a no-frills shopping experience -- with admittedly some of the lowest prices I've ever seen in that particular country. Aldi came to American shores, then to our area, and now a new one has opened up even closer to home. That - combined with the fact that I was frustrated about the weekly grocery bill - made me try Aldi again. And again. When you can buy a block of imported cheese that's not only fresh but tastes like the cheese you can typically only get by visiting the country it's from, and it's a good $4-6 LESS than other area groceries...well, that clinches it for me. Believe me, we were surprised, too. But the imported cheese from Switzerland is the Real Deal. Sez my husband from Switzerland. :) Aldi is for experienced shoppers who have figured out that paying more for something doesn't necessarily equal higher quality. Other Aldi characteristics: they keep their prices down by doing things like having customers return their carts (customers are incentivized to get their quarter back = exercise + the parking lot isn't littered with the carts of thoughtless lazy people who can't be bothered to walk a few extra steps to return their cart); some products are put out in boxes which means customers can "restock" automatically; and baby, if you want your groceries bagged, step up and get to baggin' (which I actually prefer to do myself anyway). And another observation, and one that runs contrary to what most Americans believe in: sometimes not having 68 choices of a given product is actually a freakin' relief. My shopping is done faster; I don't spend time standing there staring at shelves of products. Sure, not everything at Aldi is aces, but we're having fun testing their products and seeing how much of our primary grocery-getting we can do at Aldi. read more

Brand new store in the old Safeway building. A welcome addition to the many supermarkets around here. Quality products at great prices (much lower than others nearby) - think Trader Joe's with fewer frills. The employees were super friendly (great samples of ALDI brands on opening day) and the store was spotless and fully stocked with all kinds of goodies. I look forward to making ALDI my new go-to market. We just moved to the area last year and I have been driving 20 minutes to get to a Trader Joe's. I'm happy this is right around the corner in the neighborhood! Keep in mind you will need to bring a quarter to get a cart (you'll get it back when you return the cart) and you also need to bring bags since you'll bag your own items after check out. This can be confusing for first-time customers. read more

Every time you come into this store there's only 1 maybe 2 register open and lines run down half the length of aisles. This poor service has been in place prior to COVID. Don't come here for quick shopping. read more

Aldi is the supermarket for people who ONLY care about saving money and not about eating quality food. Aldi's motto should be: For the culinary clueless and taste bud impaired. If you do find a few things that you could stomach from this quasi food market it would probably be crackers. I have purchased many items from A just to see what the hype was about. All of them were awful disappointments, especially their meats, cereals and especially their spices. One example: Aldi's ground cumin was so gritty that my sauce was gritty like sand! They mixed in some filler or something with that spice to bulk it up. Nasty and bleh. Comparisons for 5 grocery staples between GIANT food and ALDI: Giant items tasted like food. I will pay the extra $$$ to eat better quality food thank you!! Aldi items tasted like cardboard Savings-$2.76 to Aldi's credit. NOT WORTH IT to eat crappola. EEK! Stay away. PROS Decent parking CONS Who want's to fiddle with a quarter to get a cart? Come on now!! Advertised items are not what you see in print ad or they have just one in stock-astounding isn't it. Food flavor and textures for almost all items are mostly subpar IMPORTANT The other Yelper who said think of Aldi's as a less expensive Trader Joe's etc. THERE IS NO COMPARISON! You can't compare authenticity to junk! read more

Very slow service with only one cashier. Otherwise, good for bargains. I only shop here when money is tight, not worth the irritation factor, otherwise. read more

I love Aldi, have shopped there for years, but when the manager lied to my face at this location, I'm not a fan. This Christmas season they were selling holiday wreaths. They had red & green, and purple & blue. Well I wanted the red & green, but they were sold out. So I asked someone if they'd sell the one on the door they were displaying without the box, for the same price. The associate said probably! But had to get the manager's permission. Well the manager said, the wreath on the door we got at Hobby Lobby, check there. I thought ok, very similar looking.... I went to the Aldi in Hanover & was able to get the wreath. To my surprise it was the exact same wreath hanging on the Laurel door. I get if she couldn't sell it for whatever reason, but to send me to another store to get something I could've gotten at another location, not cool. I'll stick to the Aldi in Hanover. read more

Lines are always long but prices are good when you find fresh produce. Disappointed in the strawberries and garlic I purchased the last time. Strawberries were molded in 24 hours and garlic was translucent and soggy. read more

Brand new Aldi I think. Great place to go shopping, especially on a Sunday night when there are very few patrons.

Stopped off at new Aldi's in Laurel, MD recently. Our fridge is being repaired so I just got veggies and bread. The cucumbers were very large and fresh. The bread I picked up was excellent. Also got some paper towels. Cost half the price and were very absorbent. Will go back again to check out the meats and frozen foods. read more

Neat and organized grocery store. The prices are great and the cashiers were polite and moved really quickly. I tried a few of the items that are exclusive to Aldi and am really impressed so far. read more

Been several Aldi's, this one is the most 'less variety' sort of surprised as store itself was big enough. So seasonal stuffs should visit other location too. Quality is as expected. read more
