I have noticed between this location and Rosevilles this one does a better job at placing parchment paper in between your cheese slices so it's easier to grab when making a sandwich. The pastry section is always beautiful and I can't get over how stunning the tarts are. I've come in on some random days where they have sample going on and I tell you it is the BEST! I tend to buy almost everything they sample because it's so good. They had salsas, small sliders, apples with caramel and other stands. I think taking the approach that Costco does with sampling is a great thing for here. The place is always tidy and clean and staff are always very helpful.

Thankfully I was on a time crunch this visit, and couldn't lollygag around too long. I also grabbed a few grocery items. Staff were friendly and knowledgeable when I asked where something was.

I appreciate Cub Foods more these days. Although it's not my usual place to get groceries when I'm…read morein the Twin Cities, I lie that many Cub Foods open their parking lots for food trucks to gather. It's nice that they support small businesses. Having these food trucks around allows me to sample a bunch of good food while I'm in town. In early March, I learned that this Cub Foods in White Bear Lake (WBL) had five food trucks parked in the parking lot of this Cub Foods. I was excited for the food trucks and visiting WBL for the first time. I came here on a Sunday. The five food trucks were parked away from the actual supermarket. Looking at the store, it looked massive from my vantage point. It has Huntington, a bank. It also has its own liquor store and pharmacy. Out of the five food trucks, I got food from KCM Eggrolls and Original Hockey Mom Brownies. I had already had Rebel Lobster's lobster roll in the past. It was so tough to turn it down because I wanted to try food from other trucks. KCM Eggrolls is known for its footlong egg roll on a stick. I had to get one to say that I've had one. It was yummy. It was full of filling. It was crispy. I enjoyed it. I had a tough time deciding which brownie I wanted from Original Hockey Mom Brownies. I settled for the buttercream swirl brownie. OMG! It was delicious. The buttercream was delightful. The brownie was moist and chewy. It does run sweet, so beware of a sugar rush and a bit of a crash afterwards. The man at the truck loved how happy I was to get my brownie. I was beaming because I hadn't had a brownie in ages. This truck does have a secret menu, which was great to know. I paid cash at both food trucks. They both accept credit cards. Even with the food trucks, there was plenty of parking at this Cub Foods. I should get groceries at Cub Foods next time. I do know a lot about their parking lots and food trucks these days. =) (80)

Aldi has ruined other shopping experiences for me. Their cashiers are so freakin' fast, I get…read morepissed at other grocery or retail stores when they are not ringing me up with the same frantic urgency. This might be the biggest reason I love Aldi's. They're not messing around. The prices at Aldi's are great. If you're looking for brand name, don't come here. The brands are not ones you find often, but it's quality, not crap. They can give you much better prices because they've cut costs elsewhere. Like making their associates more efficient in multi tasking so they don't need to hire many. There aren't any loose carts in the lot because you need to bring a quarter to get one, you get your quarter back when you return it, this frees up the associates from corralling them. No bags either. You bring your own, or buy theirs. The location in Mahtomedi is always clean, they have an amazing selection of gourmet cheese, it changes often. The first time I came here I stocked up on goat cheese because I was afraid they only had it for a limited time. It's $1.99 here, and $3.99 at Festival Foods down the street! Anyhow, the goat cheese wasn't a limited time. I bought way too many logs. The produce so far has been better than what I've seen at big retailers in terms of freshness. You don't have a huge selection in fruits and veggies, but the essentials are here, and there are organic options. You also need to buy most items in packages, there's no single purchase of much. You would buy a sack of potatoes, or a pack of zucchini, not a single item. I can't give them a five because I still need to visit Cub or Festival food for items they don't have. In particular I really wish they had basil, there's cilantro and green onions, but I feel like basil should be a must too. I'd also like to see maybe a couple fresh fish selections, like salmon and some sort of white fish. There are frozen bags, but fish it so much better fresh. However, I do like that they have random items from time to time at great deals, like the smoked salmon and prosciutto ham. If you're one of those uppity people that refuse to purchase food from anywhere but Whole Foods or Lunds, you're an idiot, and deserve to keep wasting your money. If not, give Aldi's a try. I use to get coupons at other retailers and get excited, until I realized that Aldi's is always the sale prices compared to others, no more coupon clipping or me. The cart thing, and no bags, isn't that bad when you get use to it. You also leave feeling great about how much you spent on your full cart.

Wish we had an Aldi's in East Austin. It would be a good place for them to grow.

Aldi is the best! This new location is really nice too. The key is to know what to expect. So…read morehere's what they have: 1. Cheap food: by far the lowest prices on groceries around. I just filled my cart with almost entirely fresh food for $60, you can't do that anywhere else. And cheap doesn't mean bad. They have tons of organic options and everything I've gotten from Aldi has been pretty good, with meat maybe being the one exception. 2. Almost everything you need: You can get basically all of your staple food items at Aldi. They won't have the more obscure ingredients you need for one specific recipe, but you can do the vast majority of your shopping here. 3. Friendly, efficient staff: There aren't many of them, usually only 2-4 people work at a time and they move very quickly, but they are always really nice. 4. Clean, inviting store: This location is brand new and is really clean with a modern market design inside. It's very nice. 5. The best shopping carts of any store I have every been to. I have twins, which don't fit in your standard single child shopping cart, so shopping carts are a big deal to me. Aldi has standard size carts, but with a double child seat instead of a single. They also have retractable seat belts, which prevents them from getting gross, wet, and ragged like most carts. This alone would bring me back, I don't understand why everyone doesn't have these. You have to put a quarter in to use a cart, but you get it back when you're done, it just means you get a little exercise returning the cart and cheaper groceries due to not having to hire a cart returner. Here's what they don't have: 1. Brand Variety: Almost everything is Aldi brand or some other off brand. This makes picking groceries really easy. If you want ketchup, you grab the ketchup, no standing in the isle deciding between 10 brands of ketchup. But if you like a specific brand, you likely won't find it here. But basically everything I've had has been pretty good. 2. Bags or Baggers: You have to bag your own groceries and they don't provide free bags. So either bring your own reusable bags (and help reduce waste) or you can purchase bags for them for a few cents. 3. Great meat: Ground Beef is fine, tastes like any other stores. But cuts of meat, like steak or pork chops haven't been the best in my experience. They are really cheap, so to some extent it's to be expected, but this is maybe the one downside of Aldi. So start shopping at Aldi, save a bunch of money, and thank me later.

Shortcomings: it doesn't carry every item like a regular grocery store, you pay for bags (I just reuse my own), you need to bus your own cart if you want your quarter back.
