Schwegel's is a fantastic little local grocery store with a top-notch butcher counter. It's a shame…read morethat they don't get the attention they deserve. The customer service is what you'd expect from a small town market, personalized and friendly. They offer monthly meat bundles that are budget friendly. Their brats will put, Johnsonville Brats to shame and Jimmy Dean's sausage cannot hold a candle to their sausage. Proof that buying local is a good thing. Some of their brands are generic, but with today's economy that is a good thing. There are lots of single little coolers around the store, filled with perishable products. Take note of the prepared foods near the butcher counter. You'll find some delicious side dishes for those tasty brats. Another end-cap to check out, is their branded spices. They're just as good as those expensive name brand spices. If you haven't shopped the aisles of Schwegel's, I recommend you correct that ASAP. You just might become a frequent shopper.

First off, if you haven't been here before, let me tell you it is similar to Aldi's. You pay 25¢ to use one of their shopping carts and once you plug it back in to the corral, you magically get your quarter back. You also need to bring your own re-usable bags to pack up your savings. My first visit was a quick stroll up and down the aisles. The store was super clean and well organized. I was surprised how wide the aisles were. was impressed with the canned goods and also the K-Cup offerings. To my delight, they had my favorite fruit, Raspberries on sale. I grabbed two pints for $5. They even had fresh cut flowers for $5. The cashier was friendly and professional. After ringing me out, he gave me a coupon for $5 off my next purchase of $50. That's a 10% savings. I think I can do that on my next visit, because my pantry is getting real low and it is time to stock-up.

What could improve? Here are a few thoughts…read more 1. Came in with a very basic shopping list of 12 items. 3 had been discontinued, 1 was priced THREE TIMES HIGHER than Walmart. 6 we're out of stock. I bought TWO. 2. Only one check lane open with a new cashier being trained. One customer ahead of me. Took 14 minutes to check out! 3. I didn't look at every single shelf tag but where I DID look, there were 37 items missing a price tag, or with a shipping tearstrip only, with no price. 37! Sad.

I'm giving this Aldi's 5 Stars. It is always clean and well organized. The staff is hard working…read moreand helpful when the customers need assistance shopping the aisles. The cashiers are speedy scanning the items and putting them back into one of the rented carts. The canned goods are a great value. I've even found multiple quality products in the freezer department. The cheeses and deli meats are quality for the price. When everyone was complaining about egg prices, they were still affordable here at Aldi's and they're still a deal. Meats are acceptable. Just be aware of what you are making and select the cut of meats accordingly. A trip down the aisle that has unexpected Aldi finds, is always an experience. This time of year, you just might find a holiday gift or two at an amazing price. I follow a group on FB called, Aldi Aisle of Shame. It highlights what shoppers have found in that aisle and what they really like. Remember, always have a quarter to rent your shopping buggy and plenty of reusable bags to do your own bagging. Doing those two things helps you save money and it is worth it.

Yet another difficulty with the dysfunction between the Instacart platform of the Aldi's app and…read morethe store. I ordered an item for pickup. I only ordered it because it was available for order; duh. When I went to pick it up at 945 for my 10 am pickup I noticed a substitute notification sent at 915. I had exactly a half hour to see it and reply, except I didn't see it in that timeframe. But...then I saw another notification ONLY TEN MINUTES LATER that told me the window of substitution had closed. The item substituted was $3.00 more and besides I already had it at home. They gave me only ten minutes. I tried to message the shopper to say I didn't want it, but it said the system could not send a message at that time. When they brought my order out, she said because the substitution window had closed, I couldn't get a refund. So I'm just screwed because they had something for sale...and the item, Wagyu ground beef for $4.99 a pound, is STILL showing available right now, but they don't have actually HAVE any available for sale. How incredibly annoying. The store NEVER takes responsibility for the curbside orders, NEVER, not ONE TIME It's always the customer's problem to have to sort out with the app, and you can imagine what a joyless task THAT is. You can't call the store and you can't call a customer service #. The problem isn't the app. Walmart has an app they built themselves that isn't based on Instacart and has multiple points of communication and redress. They make mistakes, too, but they take responsibility for them and don't just let the customer lump it. I get that; mistakes happen but how well one navigates them determines how serious a company is about the actual quality of their customer service. Walmart is serious, Aldi's is NOT. And Walmart charges me the same price in store or pick-up, Aldi's charges me a fee, Walmart doesn't for orders over $35, and Walmart doesn't charge me for bags, Aldi's does, and Aldi's charges up to 10% more for pickup items than in-store prices, and then gives me worse customer service despite charging me more for the privilege of being their customer, not in ONE way, but in THREE DIFFERENT WAYS! And Schnucks uses the Instacart platform for its curbside pickup app, doesn't charge a fee for orders over $25, charges me the same price in or out, and can replace and refund items, and they use THE SAME DIGITAL PLATFORM. So the excuse that it's "the app's fault" is BS. I don't blame the employees, they're just playing the cards they were dealt, but the company policy was designed to fail customers and fail it does. The employees are GREAT, polite and efficient. But I'm only writing this review because this is the fourth time this is happened since the last negative review I wrote that was for the exact same issue, that they continue to ignore. So they don't seem to have any intention to fix it. I'll still shop here but I'm going to get every possible item I can get from elsewhere. By keeping my orders few and far between I'll be risking fewer inconveniences. And don't forget the needless extra expense! Groceries cost 30% more than they did five years ago when we all started using curbside pickup during the pandemic! They've had FIVE YEARS to refine their platform and have chosen NOT to, even though grocery profits are currently higher than they've been since 2007! They can't claim they aren't making enough money to be able to provide industry standard customer service! Disappointed in Aldi's. Again.

Luckily, when I shared with the guest I was having a hard time finding it, she told me Wal-Mart is where she always finds it. So I did a quick google search and my Godfrey Super-center had it in stock. The stars were aligned and I lucked out, getting the last box of 12. While I was in the store, I noticed a sale on lemons. As I strolled through the produce department I saw good prices on limes and oranges, too. So, I went ahead and grabbed all my garnishes for my party. The reason I removed a star is, the store could have used a good cleaning and at check out they do not have "tap" as an option. Update your, Point of Sale.

There's nothing wrong with that, but sometimes you need to change things up. Last night, I did just that. I even changed up my adult beverage. My new adult beverage of choice was a, Sapphire Gin and Tonic. I've been gradually switching from vodka to gin and this was a smooth and refreshing cocktail. I was craving scallops my favorite seafood, but did not want the entree that comes with, lobster risotto. So I ventured out and tried the, Shrimp & Scallops with Portobello Mushrooms and Asparagus. It was sautéed in butter, garlic, shallots, red chili flakes and lemon. It was then served over a bed of linguine. I may have found a new favorite dish. Or at least, a new dish added to my rotation. I loved how four toppings were kept separate from each other. The three sea scallops satisfied my craving, the asparagus was prepared with a snap to it, the four shrimp were huge and the mushrooms balanced out the dish. The chili flakes, gave the dish an extra kick, that I really liked. Kept my salad the same as always, House Salad with House Dressing. The service at the bar was excellent. The bartenders are always friendly and professional. I like that they have a food server and a designated bus person behind the bar, so the mixologist can focus on making those refreshing cocktails.
