And though we've enjoyed many of their outstanding meat cuts, a variety of local items they carry and their full liquor selections, I've come to Yelp today to sing the praises of their store made smoked salmon salad with salmon supplied from Maine's Duck Trap fisheries. This salad is first of all salmony, appropriately salty, chunky, and filled with tiny bits of red onion and celery and just enough mayo to hold it together. What a great find at this fun to shop at market. I eat it on Triscuits, corn chips, baby carrots, or to be embarrassingly honest...from my finger. I love it when I discover something previously unknown to me. And though I have been eating smoked salmon, lox/Nova since early childhood, I am so happy to have recently found this. Great job Bow Street Market! It's sold in various sized small tubs at $10.99/lb. and well worth this price.

We needed to get something fresh for dinner at the airport and I saw this while searching the area. We were helped by friendly staff at the deli counter who made us a hummus wrap and turkey sandwich to go and I got a pasta salad from their fresh deli salads. I love local markets like this with fresh items and a deli when I travel and I'm so glad we found this. They had my baby's favorite snacks in the toddler section and some delicious grab and go drinks in the cooler as well. They won't have all the things since it's a smaller, boutique market, but quality is here.

When I first walked in I was immediately impressed with how big it is and how much space there is in the aisles, so it's definitely not tight like Whole Foods is. As soon as you enter on the left they have really good looking refrigerated pizzas that you would just pop in the oven. They also had a good selection of health drinks such as kombucha, coconut Waters, etc. I noticed tI noticed the Aldi brand had a dubai chocolate creamer that was actually organic which was really surprising to me. In fact one of the two things I bought was marinated chicken on skewers. My husband grilled them and they were very yummy. I didn't look too much into the freezer section, but I did notice they had Johnny pops for a decent price, which are frozen popsicles that are typically quite expensive. They're ice cream. Selection was also unique and interesting. The second item I bought was organic raspberries. I'm very familiar with Aldi in Europe and its very much the same here. You pay a quarter to get a cart, which I did not do. You are expected to bring your own bags and bag your groceries yourself. There's also lots of space for you to properly pack your groceries, if you need to, after you've checked out. Myself adding Aldi to my grocery store rotation. It's the type of place I would go to pick up. Something very easy for you to cook for dinner. Like the pizzas, salad kits, chicken skewers to grill, etc.

Definitely doesn't live up to the hype, and the "savings" are dubious…read more Aldi in the States are never as good as in Europe (and honestly there are far better chains there too), but for some silly reason I went with heightened expectations, thinking hey, we're in Maine where we already have great shopping options, so it must be decent! Nope. Aldi claims that this store offers "a curated assortment of quality products shoppers want and need" and "exclusive brands," but this is corporate nonsense. What you get is a random assortment of Big Corp off-brands with near-expiration dates, bad produce, and messy aisles with swathes of bare shelves. I went on a Tuesday afternoon, so I at least I was able to avoid any crowds; in fact it was pretty desolate, with maybe 10 of us wandering around. Aside from that positive note (I guess?), here's what I encountered: * nearly all of the produce is in large bags (not good for non-bulk buyers), and the selection is limited (no radishes, e.g.) * I had to scrabble through nearly all of the packs of Romaine lettuce before finding one without rusty leaves * limited frozen veg and fruit (I was hoping to stock up on the fruit in particular for smoothies, but it'll be back to Trader Joe's for that) * random canned goods and condiments, much of which is mega-sized * egg selection limited to icky factory options, with open containers on half-bare shelves * I finally found some plain sparkling water proclaiming to be "from Italy" (snicker), but seriously, not even plain seltzer anywhere? * I found some chicken breast that looks OK, but a lot of the packages were slimy (at which point I gave up looking at any more meat) * did not see any nuts, baking goods, or the like * paper and home goods random and cut-rate (think single-ply) What they do have: lots of big boxes of sugary cereals, frozen pizzas, pre-packaged meals, and what seemed to be an entire aisle of soda and energy drinks in mega-sized bottle packs. Maybe there were some treasures tucked away that I didn't find----but when the rest of what's available is so sub-par and the store organization this bad, why would I waste more time? I'm a single person and I didn't have a huge shopping list, but I wasn't able to get half the stuff on it----so while yeah, maybe I technically saved a few bucks, I still had to stop elsewhere on the way home. So that wasted time + gas being $4.50, my trip to Aldi didn't yield any savings at all, especially considering the low quality. If Europe wants to bring their shopping chains to the US, could we please have Carrefour instead??
