There were two registers opened and both had a considerable amount of people waiting to be checked out. We chose a line and got in queue. The cashier was friendly and packed my items neatly in my ALDI reusable shopping bag. While I was paying for my items, my Mom reached to grab the bag. The cashier told my Mom the bag was heavy and that I could carry it. Stubbornly, my Mom lifted the bag out of the cart anyway. The cashier's concern for my Mom was appreciative. My Mom laughed and we all joked about it. By the way, I did take the bag from my Mom as we started to walk away. read more

Aside from shopping at other markets, I like shopping Aldi's because they offer good, quality products at very reasonable prices. Their produce is wonderful and it doesn't start going bad after two days like the produce at Publix! If you haven't shopped Aldi's, you owe it to yourself to check them out. They have much to offer. You'll be pleasantly surprised. I only gave 4 stars because the store could be bigger in order to offer a larger selection of products. read more

I LOVE this ALDI. Honestly, I could shop here everyday. Not only are there great finds - down the infamous "Aisle of Shame" - but you cannot beat these prices...especially these days. I have yet to drop a quarter and pull a cart, but I always bring my own bags and fill them up. Love their Indulgent trail mix here. They also have a delicious chicken salad available in the back, along with their yummy guacamole. My preferred spot to get fruit is at ALDI - the prices and quality are considerably better here. Also, if you're a fan of Multigrain Bread, get it here. Finally, I tend to prefer self-checkouts, but the staff here are both lovely and highly proficient. Thank you, ALDI, for always making shopping here a pleasurable and cost-effective experience. Kudos! read more

I cannot recommend ALDIs enough! They have the most amazing produce selection and a great wine selection that doesn't break the bank. What I love about coming here is that they have dupes like today I got a dupe of Nutella and it tastes the same but for half the price. I am always finding new interesting foods to try. I picked up a fried pickle and ranch dip which is sooooo good! And a caramelized onion and bacon dip! Got some German chocolate cookies that is also a dupe of Nutella biscuit cookie. I love going to the seasonal item isle, you can always find new and fun things you can't find anywhere else. The only downside to coming to ALDI is that you have to make sure you have a quarter to get a shopping cart, unfortunately i didn't have one today and one of the employees actually let me use a quarter so i could use a cart. The inside is always so clean and organized. If you haven't been here yet, you have to come! read more

It's always a good time at this Aldi. Shelves are always stocked and every week there's new foods to try. They have the best prices in town -- even with our current egg shortage. Employees are helpful and quick when checking out. I wish all grocery stores adopted this European concept of shopping. If you're new -- you don't need a membership. Just remember to bring a quarter to release your grocery cart, bring reusable bags and don't expect to find a lot American name brand things. Personally, you'll enjoy your peaceful shopping experience here. You get your quarter back if you return your cart to the front. read more

ALDI - a car parked in front of a store - Grocery Near Me - Sanford, Florida

They have a good variety of foods and are well stocked. However, the store is small despite an expansion. Also, it gets very busy with the residents in the apartments nearby. The isles are blocked by people or they are behind you wanting to get to whatever you are looking at. It's hard to shop in peace. I have tried going at different times but it's busy all the time. Since it is on a corner you can get into the parking lot from either side. There is a high turnover of employees. There is someone new each time you visit. read more

This review has to do with the Wine sold at Aldis and not the Store itself... I purchased 2 bottles of wine after hearing this wine was so good and underrated and I fully disagree. I purchase lots of items at Aldis and I actually like most all the products they put out except this... This wine is a hard pass, don't waste your money like I did, it has very little flavor/small and texture... The cork is so bad that it didn't want to pull then after I was able to get it out I put it back and it leaked. I drink plenty of wine and I have a very nice cork remover so that's not the issue it's the poor quality of everything on this wine that got this low score... Hard pass... read more

I don't go to this location very often as I have ones that are closer. On this visit it was bright and clean and they had a huge selection of items on clearance. The prices on produce and dairy are much better than other grocers. I've had more pleasant experiences with cashiers at other locations, but nothing rude occurred so it was fine. I'll probably stick to my usual locations but it's a fine store. read more

Recently renovated, this Aldi does a really good job of having a little bit of everything. The parking lot has always had abundant space, although the layout is a little odd. As soon as you enter, you are right in the produce section. I love the weekly sales on the various fruit and vegetables. However, there have been some times when they were out of stock of the sale items the next day. I love how they have an abundant bread section as well as the various condiments/sauces. Some of them are new and am glad to see them stock different kinds now. The baby section is a little small but has all the essentials like diapers, wipes, food, and snacks. I really like how they renovated the freezer section of the store. It used to be small and toward the back of the store. Now it takes up a whole aisle as well as a middle section with frozen desserts/snacks. Glad to see varieties of Asian food, several different kinds of tasty veggie burgers, frozen vegetables/fruit, meat, seafood, and on and on! The checkout line needs improvement. Most of the time, there is just one cashier open. I understand that by keeping limited registers open, they are able to keep prices low for customers but I feel with the amount of customers everyday, they need at least 2 open at all times. Just my opinion though! read more

Food is good. Service is meh but you put up with long lines at cashiers for the prices. Easy access and good selection.

Maybe I just happened to visit on an off day? I came in yesterday around 2-ish. The parking lot was pretty filled which I thought was a good sign! I read some reviews prior and knew that I had not visited this location since it was revamped- so I was excited to see what the excitement was all about. Upon walking in, truthfully, I was unimpressed. Although the setup was different than I remembered, everything looked disheveled. The beer and wine section moved to the other side of the store and I do admit, it looks pretty nice! The store was clean, just really messy. I didn't have anything set in mind to purchase, I was just there to browse. There were many items I saw that were priced decently such as the olives, cake mixes and spices...and of course the beers and wines. Since this is not really close to where I live, I don't think I would go out of my way to shop here. read more

Somewhat ironic that THIS Aldi, which I visit once in a blue moon, is the one where I get a glimpse of what the new store looks like - and I LIKE IT! It's a somewhat more clean and classy look. The produce section looks neater, and the new fridges and freezers are cool. Now, just don't go jacking up prices on us, ya hear? I've seen a couple of worrying signs. Don't go there! read more

ALDI - The "new" Aldi - Grocery Near Me - Sanford, Florida

I have mixed feelings about Aldi's. On one hand, there are some good deals that you can find. On the other, there are a lot of drawbacks to this store. There are no bags oh, so either bring your own in or struggle with your loose grocery items when loading or unloading your car. They also do not have phones in their locations. So you cannot call to confirm hours or if they have a particular item. They also utilize A system that requires you to put a quarter into your shopping carts to get it unchanged. I agree with this system, it makes us remember to put them back in their proper spot. However, it is inconvenient when you don't have change. read more

It was fun going to Aldi in a different town! I was only there for a few things that my friend needed for a party, and I was very impressed with the selection at this Aldi. I couldn't find the tea, and when I asked an employee, she could have said, "right under there where it says tea," but she did not. Instead, she showed me, and we laughed together when I said "oh, right under where it says tea..." My checkout experience with Shannon was ok. She wasn't overly friendly, but she got me though the line and there were no issues. read more

We had gone to this Aldi for a long time. It is near the BJs we go to in Sanford. We started picking up just a few things there that they had cheaper than BJs, and slowly it seemed like more items became less expensive there, certainly less so than pricy Publix and Winn Dixie. Well, now we have our own local Aldi so we don't use this Sanford branch very often, but that is the only reason. read more

Figured I might as well walk across the street from Action Gator and pick up a few things while I wait for my car to be done. So I have to say it's always nice to find good deals when shopping and if not doing BOGOS at Publix this is the next best stop on my shopping list. Some of their brands taste just as good if not even better than name brands. Peanut Butter is always my go to. Larger size and lower price. Win, win it you asked me. French bread pizza is also a favorite and their frozen burgers are perfect for grilling. If you shop just right you'll leave with a shopping cart full of groceries for much less than going somewhere else. Also nice to also know that shopping carts are not all over the place. Drop in a quarter, get your shopping cart and go. Return and get your quarter back or better yet be nice and just hand off to someone else and save them the quarter. Sometimes something simple like that can put a smile on someones face. Only rough thing is sometimes items you might want could be out or they were seasonal so you'll have to wait for them to be back in stock. read more

Very nice remodel. Produce was fresh and nicely priced. Carry a few vegan "meats". Remember to bring your own bags and a quarter for the shopping cart (returned upon return). read more

I love me some Aldi! Unfortunately it took me being out of work for bit and low on cash to go to Aldi for the first time. Now I'm comfortable financially and still won't give up my fav grocery spot! I've purchased tons of household items here as well: area rugs, work laptop backpack, camping items, you name it! Great organics at reasonable prices. Best part is that I never get bored with their offerings and just bring all of my lovely finds home and figure out a new meal to make "Chopped" style! It's cheaper than Walmart even with coupons but without the tedious clipping and numerous cash back sites. It's great that the quality of products is really mindful. Give it a try, keep an open mind, and try their toffee almond cookies. Man those are my weakness! Also, great cedar planked Salmon! I like this location MUCH better than the 17/92 location but might've just had an off day. read more

There are two Aldi stores in Sanford and this is the better of the two for several reasons: It's way bigger and more spacious. The aisles aren't so cramped so it's pretty easy to get around. Parking lot is big and easy to navigate. It has that faux industrial look to it, not unlike a Trader Joe's. In fact, I'll bet that's exactly what they were going for when they built this place. The shopper carts are huge! Probably bigger than those at Publix or Walmart (though trying to steer them around can be a pain). Several more registers here than the other store. Or at least there's more than one open at a time. I will say that I noticed TONS of empty boxes just lying around on the floor. I mean, that's par for the course at Aldi, but there seems to be more than usual at this location. Also, they sell out of eggs quickly. If you come after dinner time the day's selection of eggs (and bananas) will probably be gone. read more

Nothing much to say! It's just your basic food store offering decent prices. Store is always clean and well organized. Customer service is always available if you do need help. read more

Aldi is located on SR 46 in Sanford, at the intersection of Upsala. This is a large location and must be newer compared to some of the other Orlando locations I've popped in. The Aldi grocery store chain is owned by the same parent company that owns Trader Joe's, so there is slight bleed over in product offerings. The same roasted pepper and tomato soup that I buy at TJ's in Sarasota for $1.99 is $1.79 here and similar tasting/quality products can be purchased for $4+ at Publix, whole foods and fresh market. Ditto for veggie broth. Aldi offers mostly their in house/private labeled products, but on occasion will offer regular brand names on items. Produce can offer some very nice gourmet and organic bargains. Nuts, snacks and chocolate and produce is usually in my bag when I leave here. Staff is nice, bag your own groceries and if you want a cart you need a quarter to unlock the cart, which is returned to you when you put the cart back. Cash or debit card only (no charge cards). read more

My wife and I checked out Aldi for the first time and we were impressed. They have a great prices on produce including organic. We bought huge frozen scallops that were fantastic and much less money than Publix. Don't forget a refundable quarter for your cart. read more

ALDI - This was under the "pineapple" section where there seems to be soiled grapefruits, a sack of potatoes, and a misplaced xylophone - Grocery Near Me - Sanford, Florida

I have been a loyal Aldi's shopper since college in 2006. We figured out I save an average of $300 a month shopping at Aldi's. The no frills fast easy layout saves a ton of time as well. The produce is great as is the meat and dairy. The veggies are definitely my favorite though. And any meat by their brand Appleton Farms is a win!!! The selection does rotate but I can't complain because it encourages me to try new things and I am grateful for the prompt to change things up a bit. I love the double back policy and the only down side is that the lines can get long. Also shout out to the employee who I saw help an elderly woman do a preparation shopping just two days before hurricane Irma. Your kindness to her was not unnoticed. When everyone was acting crazy over water and canned goods you stopped to help her and I applaud your humanity in such a chaotic situation. read more

Went in to check out the store (first time), see what they had to offer.. Dont really see the hype, but I grabbed some Organic milk to test, and some goldfish for the kids.. Went to the checkout line and had to wait a minute before the cashier stopped sweeping before she came to the register (she saw me waiting and continued without acknowledgement) when she did come to the register, she didn't greet me at all, just gave me the total for my 2 items and thats about it.. Note to management : hire people who know what it means to give great customer service. As a middling grocer, surrounded by publix locations, you can't afford to have employees on the roster that can't muster a greeting for a customer, just flat out pathetic.. Time of visit, 8:27 pm, 12/28/16.. read more

There are many select very reasonable organic to chemical and artificial color free items I will buy there and am extremely happy with them. I also appreciate the European imported items Some of these reviewers are so quick to be negative and appalled at the speedy cashiers. If you have been to Europe, which are of course the origins of Aldi (German) then you go with this style of grocers. You are supposed to move along with your bought groceries and if you want to "pack them" then there is a long counter away from cashier stations for that. You will not have the doting Publix experience and nor will you have added $$ to your bill. To make your experience more efficiently pleasing I will list about 10 key items that are excellent. I am very picky and shop at Whole Foods etc. so I do not eat substandard food. Organic Honey Dried Cranberries Dark Chocolate Bars Peanut Butter Cups Organic Multi-grain Tortilla Chips certain cereals, organic sprouted graiiin and seeded bread Organic Pasta, Organic Chicken Stock Apple Farms? natural, no nitrate bacon Bagged Organic Arugula and other greens Coconut Vanilla Greek Yogurt (other varieties may be good, but I like to add fresh fruit) Frozen wild caught fish fillets (varies) Bratwurst (Beer & other variety from Germany) Holiday chocolates for Xmas & Easter (usually German origin) Whole grain waffles (10 xs better than Eggo-yuck! & way less $$) I prefer homemade, but in a pinch....) Unsweetened Coconut Milk in half gallon refrigerated Orange Juice (not from concentrate) Basil Pesto in jar (from Italy), There are a lot of interesting seasonal items to surprise you too. Some fresh produce I do buy from there, but you have to study some of the items for freshness. read more

WE LOVE ALDI. My family has been shopping at this location for over 3 years now. With meal planning, we can stay on an $85 a week budget for a family of 4. We have tried most of their store brands with no complaints. You have to be flexible on your produce, but there is always plenty to choose from. Need to have a quarter for your cart (returned when you return the cart) and your own bags (or you can buy there or use their boxes). And now they take all major credit cards! read more

I had read in several places that Aldi's was headed toward besting even Whole Foods with options in organic food, so my curiosity got the best of me. Ummm, they've got a long way to go to make the comparison from this store. And although there were a dozen items, ranging from nuts, bread, and a couple jarred items, just who is ASCO for organic quality assurance? Not that the USDA can be trusted, but here's one I've never heard of. Needs more homework before purchase. Until then, keep headed in the right direction ALDI's. read more

I don't know what has gone wrong since they reopened. Still lots of out-of-stocks and now the produce has looked like it fell off a truck. So much rotted produce--asparagus, Brussels sprouts,green beans, onions and more has been rotted. This is the third week in a row!!! The other Sanford location is so much better. Also one of the cashiers at the other location said their prices are cheaper on many things. My bill has gone up. Please build more in Volusia county and fix your produce buying. Quit overbuying and don't sell us vegetables that froze, then defrosted and went bad. Finally, they moved the produce to the front. Their produce is the busiest section and now it's at the entrance which really creates a constant traffic jam. read more
