She specifically told me to go for the wide variety of vegan/plant based selections as well as the awesome discounts they give on things that are close to going out of date. Let me tell you- I'm so happy I did! I got 3 packs of plant based meat for .99 cents, and a lot of other items worth around $6 each just for .99 cents. If you pay attention, yes Ingles can be a bit pricy, but notice the sales- you can find prices here better than any other store if it's on sale! They carry a LOT of local items and items made by small businesses too, which I love. Lastly, their bakery, deli, salad bar, and hot food bar are insanely large! A must try? The pistachio muffin! Scrumptious! This is our new go to grocer. I can't believe I finally found some of my favorite brands I haven't seen since I worked at Sprouts down in Florida!

When performing a 1:1 price comparison to the competition down the street (initials being F.L.) I have found that items are $0.75-$1.00 cheaper, elsewhere. For example, Gulden's Spicy Brown Mustard, I paid $2.29 (regular, non-sale price) at the other place, but when I walked in, same day to this place, it was literally that $0.75 higher. BUT, with that being said, if you shop their weekly mailer, and use their check-out coupons, and also use their loyalty card (you will occasionally get some decent price breaks). For example, last Nov/Dec, they mailed out $10 off purchase of $75. That helped. On specialty items, like Udi's Gluten Free Breads they are spot-on the competition price. So, it pays to shop around.

I am extremely disappointed with how this situation was handled. I accidentally left an item in my…read morecart inside the store entrance before I left and returned shortly after to retrieve them. That's my mistake, BUT Customer service reviewed the interior camera footage and confirmed that the item was in my cart. However, instead of conducting a complete and reasonable investigation, they refused to check the exterior camera which would have clearly shown that I left the store without the item, since I left the cart along with the item inside the entrance. I said I left with two bags but I didn't leave with my other item which was on accident. The lack of effort and basic problem-solving from the staff was frustrating and unacceptable. As a result, I was unable to recover my item, despite there being clear evidence that could have resolved the situation. I expected far better customer service and accountability than what I experienced. I know it's just one item but, in this economy, girl bye

It takes an average of 8-12 minutes per car in the drive-thru line and it's not any faster in the store. I pulled into the drive-thru line with three cars in front of me, counting the one at the window, and it took nearly 30 minutes to get to the window. The drive-thru tray opened and closed 3 times per car, including mine! They ask for my birthdate after I had just given them my license with my photo on it, then sends out a signature card for the insurance, then went for my prescriptions, then sends my prescriptions and my payment method back through the window. I used to use CVS and just switched back to them over this issue today. Some people my have all day to sit in a drive-thru line but I'm not one of them.

ALDI isn't your regular American supermarket and there are a few key differences that help them keep prices down. Starting off with, you'll need to bring a quarter in order to borrow a shopping cart. You'll get it back when you return the cart. The merchandise is a wide variety but they don't have everything and they generally don't have more than one of an item. A few name brands here and there but usually ALDI's generic brand. Note that the quality is similar. At the register, the cashier scans the stuff and then puts it right back into your cart. You're bagging it yourself, making your time at the register faster. You can buy ALDI bags or bring your own. Or you can find a few cardboard boxes from the sales floor for free. There was a time that ALDI didn't accept credit cards but they do know. Easy, inexpensive (not cheap) and a good shopping experience. Enjoy!
