I am a solo household so I shop every three days. I shop Aldi for specific things and no I don't shop "Aldi Finds." Their fruit and veggies come from the same places regular markets buy from at a fraction of the price! I buy extra and freeze. They have an XL "bake at home" fresh pizza for $5.99 - cheese only, pepperoni or a supreme (they're $8.29). I get four meals out of it! I like that I don't have to buy a bag of potatoes, apples etc. I can buy small quantities. I buy my boneless skinless chicken breast here because their price is more competitive than any other market. Ambience is that of a grocery store and recently, they've rearranged the stores in a really odd way. Nuts can be in three different places. The stores are short staffed but all the folks are friendly and helpful if you need something. They're super fast on the register as they're timed. If you haven't tried them yet, do. They have some items that you won't find in regular grocery stores that are worth a try and their store brand isn't bad either. read more

I finally had the time to stop by this Aldi store today right when they open to get some groceries. The produce area is located right when you enter the store. The meat is toward the back right corner of the store along with all the other refrigerated items. This Aldi has a lot of space inside but there no self checkout. There was no one at the cashier when I was ready to check out so I walked to the bread area because I saw an employee working. I asked him if there was any cashier working and he said he'll be right there. He did not look happy to be working this morning and was not friendly at all. There a lot of parking spots in the plaza this store is in. read more

I popped in on a Monday afternoon during my lunch break to see if they had Elevation caramel protein shakes. They did! They pretty much had all of the same products including the aisle of shame that I saw at the Oxnard Aldi a few days earlier. The store was not too busy considering it was the lunch hour. It was clean and organized. The Cashier greeted me as well. I love that they offer public restrooms up by the cashier. read more

I've stopped at Aldi in Texas and enjoyed the variety this grocer has to offer. When I came across this store while visiting in Simi Valley Calif there was one located by my hotel. I had a kitchenette so I grabbed a few things for my stay. read more

ALDI - Grocery Near Me - Simi Valley, California

Both of the Aldi stores and Simi Valley are horribly run. Having one cash register open during peak times doesn't seem like very good customer service. Today I waited so long and no one would let me go ahead of them even though I only had one item and everyone else had carts full of food and only one cashier was open. So I left. Their loss. I will buy what I wanted to buy someplace else. Stores are dirty too and unfriendly employees read more

ALDI is dedicated to low priced groceries. It presents a warehouse feel with their own name brands, but lacks the quirky fun of Trader Joe's. What it lacks in pizzazz or atmosphere, Dear Hubby (the grocery shopper in the family) shares that he likes to buy the staples there as they have the best prices. We went in to get cookie-making supplies, but haven't tried their store brands yet. There's a warehouse feel to the place. It's the kind of no frills environment I don't really enjoy. They do get the job done for basic items, but you may not walk away with a warm fuzzy feeling. Bring your own bags, and expect to be your own bagger. Dear Hubby says that he's impressed with the quality of their items, and knows how to negotiate his way around. Go, DH! read more

It's an Aldi like any other grocery store and the people working here definitely aren't chipper to be there. One time, another customer and I waited a long ass time to get a cashier to come over to ring us up (maybe they're short staffed?) but it was sometime after 8pm so the store was an almost empty hole. The prices are good but I'll just head over to the TO location. read more

My wife and I heared good things about Aldi, so when I had to make a quick stop for a few Items, I thought, I was in luck that there was an Aldi right on the way but boy was I surprised. I'll start with the good: The young man who was working the register was nice and curtious. The Bad: The selection was terrible. They had two tumblers to choose from, and both had a large Aldi logo on them and had designs on them that an average high school art student could design better. The prices on both were average to high, too. I also wanted to pick up some beer but the selection was meager and overpriced. I needed to pick up some men's deodorant, also, but the personal care section was smaller than you would find at a 7-11 and there was only one selection of deodorant available, and it was a women's deodorant Lastly, there was only one checker and there was a long line, so I ended up putting my items back and going to the drug store instead. I would have used the self checkout, but I couldn't because I was buying alcohol. read more

If you haven't tried delivery by Aldi (Instacart), you are missing out!! The fruits and veggies I got were was less expensive and much better quality than a traditional grocery store. I ended up with 5 bags of groceries (including 4 packs of Foster Farms chicken) for $80. BEST PART - delivered to my house in less than 2 hours! Love this! Totally going to become my #1 store! read more

After lunch at Don Cuco next door we figured we would do our shopping at this store. Never been to an ALDI before. Walk up to get a basket and see you need a fucking quarter to get one. Great. I don't have a fucking quarter. Neither does my wife. I'm not having it. We left and spent over $200.00 at Pavilions back home. Hey ALDI, your crushing it with the quarter for a basket policy. That's over 800 of my quarters you didn't get today. How dumb are you guys? read more

An economical way to shop foods, but not my top choice. The service is okay and looks like an Aldi. Clean atmosphere.

I know it's hard on businesses right now. Places seem understaffed. I get this and I do my part by remaining patient and understanding. BUT is it to much to ask for that your workers to wear a mask "properly???" The last several times I have gone to this location, it is always a young, skinny blonde male who runs all the groceries through the scanner. I feel bad for him that he's the only one up by the registers. But that's not my concern. My concern is he how he wears his mask! He wears it BELOW his nose. So he's still directly breathing over EVERY-SINGLE-ITEM that he runs through the scanner. What's the point of wearing a mask then? I'm positive it's the store's policy for workers to be wearing masks but just because you have it on your face. You're not wearing a mask if you don't have it over your nose. And then another thing. We're all supposed to social distance right? BUT, you're always using the cart of the person directly in-front of you when they check you out! The process is this. I roll up with my cart and am emptying it out. The cashier already has the previous cart from the person in-front of you and is scanning and placing the items in a cart that's DIFFERENT from the one you're unloading. So when you pay and you roll away the cart, it's not the cart you started out with. It's a cart that belonged to the person who was in-front of you in the line. You're touching someone's cart that someone else already had very recently had their hands all over... This cart wasn't sanitized before it was given over to your other customer. I don't know why this seems to have slipped through the cracks but it has. read more

This Aldi location is adjacent to the WALMART and Party City. Decent parking lot. Store is clean and shelves are well stocked. Prices are reasonable and fair. Depending on what you are shopping for, you can get a good deal on items. I recommend checking out their weekly advertisement. A quarter is required in order to get a cart. When you return the cart, you get your quarter back. Same system in the Aldi stores in Germany. However, it is unfortunate that customer service is poor at this location. Yes, the checkers are sitting down and scanning your items and dumping them into your cart; and you have to bag your items on the side. Same as Germany but was not expecting not even to be greeted by the cashier. I said hi, no response back. I have experienced this multiple times from this store. It is very disappointing and rude because the staff does not even acknowledge you. I understand this is a German company but they do not need to have the same German unfriendly mentality and customer service. They can do much better and improve their customer service! read more

Had a recent first visit, and like the sweet and beautiful girl Destiny very much: she certainly made great efforts to serve me, yet, the way of her nice smiling, and kind talking was just so natural as if she had been born a caring person with willingness to help! The store is clean, and the items are reasonable. The manager is professional and friendly! read more

ALDI is a bit different type of shopping experience, but we like it nonetheless. First, you need a quarter to get a shopping cart. (I'm guessing this ensures you'll return it and not leave it stranded in the parking lot... or cart it off down the road if you're homeless.) Second, you pack your own bags after you've paid. Bit different from other markets, but a smart way to save money on baggers. There is tons of parking at this location. It's new, clean, and well kept. The selection is great and the PRICES are amazing. We save lots of money by stopping here each week. The employees are nice and the food is fresh for the most part (be sure to check expirations, however, like at every market). We enjoy ALDI! 4 stars! read more

Nice market with many healthy choices. My family has found many replacement products for less than healthy favorites we buy elsewhere, and they all taste good thus far. The pricing is right most of the time and they have many less common items and plenty of their own brands too. This market follows much closer to the "Fresh and Easy" style format than it does a big market like Ralph's, so do be aware of this. For those looking to reduce their carb "input" they sell a pasta made from Quinoa and Organic Brown Rice. Not only is it better tasting than the whole wheat types, it actually has a texture more like regular pasta as well. Good Stuff! read more

I surprised at all the bad reviews. This store is dirt cheap and you don't have to deal with the long lines or incompetence at Walmart. The employees are really nice. Yes, they sit on chairs and don't bag groceries, that's what they are supposed to do in order to make the lines go quickly. My new method is that I bag my groceries out at my car, it goes a lot quicker. Sometimes they have amazing deals like crackers for 15cents, bread for 70cents, etc. Most food items are their own brand and a few are name brand. They also have really cheap toiletries, sunscreen etc and some interesting home items. I seriously don't see the downside. read more

First impression is that I like this store. It is very simple. They carry mostly their own brands with a few name brand items. The prices were competitive and pretty decent. The produce looked great. I was impressed with the meat section and the choice of steaks. You do your own bagging. They do sell paper bags for 10 cents and plastic for 15 cents. Or you can bring your own. The carts are in the front of the store chained together. Use a quarter to get one out. The quarter is returned when you bring the cart back. Everyone was friendly and helpful. Parking is adequate. I'll post a more in depth review when I take a couple of more trips. read more

I'm so happy to see an Aldi in Simi! I've only just learned of them but omg the prices! You won't find cheaper prices anywhere. To that guy a few reviews back, you are an idiot. The reason Aldi requires a quarter deposit and doesn't bag for you is to save you money. If you want to pay way more elsewhere then go ahead. I'll return my cart and bag my groceries to save that kind of money. I loved the store it was so clean and neat looking. The employees are all so friendly and I love the organic and gluten free options. Store brands are just as good if not better! I'm totally making the switch! Thank you Aldi see you soon! read more

Super low prices! It really makes you realize how much profit name-brand foods generate when you see a nearly identical product without a recognized brand name priced massively lower. There are a few name brands but not many. Quality of everything has been equal to name-brand products. The store is small because the selection of items is small. There is no way I could do all of my grocery shopping here. They do have meat and produce, but not much. There is one aisle of cheap household goods, giving it a Walgreens/Dollar Store vibe. I'd like to see them replace that with more food items. Very little service is available but everybody is real nice. A great addition to my shopping routine! read more

Check refrigerated items. I just found mold on chicken tamales I bought today. Stick with milk, eggs, and anything frozen. Always check their produce. Some of it looks like it's going to go bad soon. Snacks are good. Not enough workers to stock shelves, and they always have empty boxes in the aisles. read more

Came here on an order with instacart. The store and shopping experience was fine but the lady at checkout was the worst. Very rude and snappy, and took all the groceries I had worked very hard and carefully to place so nothing was messed up (IE eggs were not broken, bread not smushed etc.) and managed to smush the bread and break an egg or two. I'll definitely not be coming back to shop on my own and I wouldn't suggest it to anyone. read more

Shopping at Aldi hasn't been a great experience for me but I was in a few months ago and I was greeted with a warm welcoming by Deanna. I live in Santa Barbara and I come down once a week for the best chocolate only Aldi carries. I've been to 3 different Aldi's and only this Simi Valley store is always stocked. Deanna helped me and said she will try her best to be sure they are always stocked up, following with Although things can change being Aldi is very unique and not guaranteed to always have specific merchandise, she will try her very best! Deanna you are amazing and I thank you for being so compassionate with your customers. Aldi we're happy to have Deanna!! read more

Honestly, I don't know how I really feel about this store. It's different in it's own way for sure. First of all, you need a quarter for a shopping cart, which most stores don't do anymore. The store itself is very small and simple, with only a handful of short aisles. They carry a very limited selection, and it's mostly their own brand. I'm not sure how I feel about that either because I really don't like purchasing unfamiliar brands; and I say it's unfamiliar because I don't shop here that often. Yes, the prices are fairly decent and sometimes dirt cheap. The store is hardly ever crowded and there seems to always be only one cashier at the front. You pay for your stuff, they put it in a cart, and you bag it yourself over by the wall. It's just something I'm not used to. The staff is pretty friendly and helpful so that's a plus. There's just not too many of them. read more

I just went to ALDI to pick up a few things incuding ice cream. When i went to check out i noticed there was only one checker open with six people with full shopping carts waiting in line. WHERE IS THE MANAGER that should be helping by opening another register?? I had to put back my ice cream because there was no way it wasn't going to be all melted by time i got through the line! This is a big store with 8 registers at a busy time with one person working with one register open. Don't think ill be going back. For a few cents more ill be going to Stater Brothers! "You lost a customer" read more

After reading mixed reviews I was very fascinated by this store. Once I visited it I was pretty unimpressed. Yes, they have cheap eggs (88 cents I think), but besides that I was really unimpressed. They don't have a huge selection of food/brands. I picked up a few staples but I prefer grocery stores that have more of a variety. read more

I was excited to come here at first, but I have to say after shopping there I seriously don't understand this place. For how bare bones the store is, I was expecting prices to be noticeably lower than what I would find at, say, Trader Joe's. While some things may have been a good deal, many things that I was looking at were a very similar price to what you could find elsewhere. I don't mind it being bare bones at all, but if I can mostly find the same things for the same price in a nicer store, I don't have any reason to come here. The items the store has seems a bit random too. A whole isle of processed snacks and junk food, then a section of gluten free, then an isle of random home decorating products. To me it didn't seem like this store is a "one stop shop", but it also doesn't specialize in anything in particular to make me want to come here. We also tried some of their gluten free snacks, and was waaaaaay overflavored and not appetizing. read more

my first time in this store was very disappointing to me. I always loved to go to Aldi when I lived in Germany, and also found a very nice Aldi in Sidney Australia. I could not find Pumpernickel Bread, a staple in Germany or Liverwurst. The clerk at the checkout just said "maybe its a seasonal item and continued his conversation with a co worker, very disrespectful. Of course, I will never shop at this market again. read more

I shop here often & I love the prices & products but its too unreliable. Being out stock is so frustrating!

Half & half??? Really? read more

ALDI - SnapChat Worthy~ - Grocery Near Me - Simi Valley, California

I've been waiting months for this new market to open. I was told it was owned by the European parent company of Trader Joe's. Understandably, I was expecting a sort of a Trader's on steroids. Instead I was very disappointed. It started with having to have a quarter to unlock a shopping cart from the front of the store. The theory is that you'll return the cart after you've gone to your car to unload and you get your quarter back. This isn't going to happen in my case. I'm not walking all the way back through the parking lot for $0.25. Upon entering the store I'm was struck by how small and really unglamorous it is. The interior is really boring. Yes it is only a market. But I would expect some excitement or vitality in the way items are displayed or advertised. Something that says pull out your wallet and buy something. For the most part, the food brands are unknown to me. I will stick to the brands I'm familiar with that I can purchase from four other markets within a 1 mile radius of this store Another surprise awaited me when I checked out. The cashier sits on a seat! At first I thought this was very considerate of management. Then I realized the reason she is seated is that she doesn't bag your food...she just rings it up. You then push the cart to a nearby shelf where you have to wait your turn to bag the food. Note to Mr Aldi: when I go somewhere to spend money I expect more customer appreciation and service. I don't feel I'm being treated like a valued part of your business. I've been treated better at a fast-food joints or even the 99 Cent Store...at least there the employees will bag your groceries for you and provide you with a free cart. I give this place 6 months. read more

I am familiar with Aldi from living back East. This store is no frills straight to the point. If you want people walking you to your items or personal shopping this isn't for you... This store is for the shopper who wants affordable groceries in a ultra bright clean environment. Who cares if you need to return your cart to get your precious quarter back. I find it refreshing to not have to worry about carts all over the parking area. Also you'll need see Aldi carts loitering by bus stops or in random places turned over on the side of the road... You have to bag your own groceries which isn't a big deal since self checkout isn't a new thing at several other stores. Why would you care if you only have to half the work here since they ring out your groceries! They don't have many name brands but if you try the store brands they are pretty decent in their own right. It is NOT fresh and easy which had way over priced obscure brands and ready to hear meals as their main merchandise. Bring your own bags or purchase theirs... Please don't loose your mind over this concept since its also not a new thing in many areas of California... read more

First impression: small and bland,. The items do not appear to be in any sequential order. The prices are comparable to other full service stores, such as VALLARTA, and Smart and final. The service: not impressed- it feels as though I am entering into a self check store with cashier giving directions on what to do and where to bag your own items. They appear to assume the charge for bags also applies here in Ventura count, and when inquired an explanation, their reasoning was "that is how we provide you with cost effective products". In Simi Valley, with all this competition, I give it 6 months. In summary, for a grand opening, this is less than a stellar performance, we left with out any reasons to return. Now, they give you the quarter. They don't realize that most people don't take the cart, they end up buying less. Sad situation. read more
