    Still up to the same tricks...these all expired in March, it's April 3rd
    Valerie R.

    I agree with prior reviewers. I only shop here because it is the closest store to my house, and I regularly find moldy/expired food on the shelves. Nearly every week. Last week, I was going to buy brussel sprouts for Easter. I was there last Sunday. Half of the bags were already expired, and the rest expired 1 - 2 days later. People want to shop for Easter ahead of time, they're just trying to unload their expired food. A couple weeks earlier, I found the brussel sprouts were all expired and I told someone who worked there. He did remove them all, but they didn't have any newer ones that they could sell me. That same day, I went to buy feta cheese, 75% of the packages had expired one month earlier. A whole month!! How does no one catch this? There was no one around, so I sequestered them all in one area and put a piece of paper on top that said "expired"...at least I can hope I prevented people from buying them inadvertently. My favorite was last night, there is an open refrigerated case across from the cheese bar, that has seafood related stuff in it. My husband was looking at it and noticed about 10 tubs of various seafood dips on top of the case (where it was not refrigerated). They all said "keep refrigerated" on the containers, but they were warm. I hope no one bought them, they'd almost certainly get sick!!! The loose onions in the produce department always have fruit flies swarming around them. I've also come home with moldy bread, moldy yogurt, sometimes milk seems to turn only a few days after we buy it. It's a nightmare. Check everything you can, buy the latest dates possible. Don't assume it's fresh!!

    Frozen together! Stupid packaging.

    I'm reviewing the new nature's promise turkey sausages . S&S stopped carrying the Jones brand so they could sell their own. So far they're all frozen together and broke apart when I tried to separate. Really annoying especially when they keep discontinuing other brands to push their own!! Also the veggies at S&S are sub par to other stores.

    Aldi feels like a cross between a supermarket and a minimart. They have smaller stores, less brand…read morevariety, but usually well stocked with the essentials. I have found their meats to be very fresh. With some other supermarket meat sections, they will dye the meats with fresh blood and dyes and then rewrap the meat with a new expiration date. There are consumer report videos on Youtube that describe and show the practice from CNBC and CBC. But so far I have not experience that same practice with Aldi. You can easily tell a supermarket store does this when you cut the meat and noticed the color of the meat inside is significantly darker, or browner than the surface. With Aldi, I have not experienced that at all so I trust them more. Their ground beef and other meats have a uniformed color inside and the surface. My experience with their produce has also been positive. The downside to Aldi is that they might not stock a favorite brand. For me, I am very particular about the flavored coffee creamer I like and they don't carry it. But they do have generic coffee creamers. Not a big deal because megastores like BJs Club don't carry every brand or product line either. Aldi doesn't carry hot foods to take out. They don't have an onside kitchen to prep these kinds of foods. So I'll find I will still have to go up the road to S&S and pick up a ready-made roaster for dinner. As for this particular location. The store is very clean. Aisles are neat and orderly. Boxes of goods are cut open and place directly on the shelves making the stocking of the shelves very efficient and fast. The parking lot is large with plenty of parking. Aldi is also a no-frills low-cost store so do expect to deposit a quarter to borrow one of their shopping carts. It saves them from having to hire someone to round up the carts from the lot like other supermarket do. You get the quarter back after you return the cart. You also don't have to worry about runaway carts dinging your car. Bring your own shopping bags because their plastic bags do cost money. Sometimes the check out lines are long because they might have only two cashiers. But most of the cashiers work very quickly to get you through the door. Aldi is to me a good place to get the basics at a lower cost, but they don't replace your traditional supermarket. They supplement it. I am sure some products can be purchased cheaper during a sale but if you are like me and you don't have time to look through supermarket circulars, this is a good place to get a fair price, even if it isn't the absolute cheapest. My advice, shop here first and whatever you don't find, pick it up at another store if you are in a hurry.

    The food quality has been going down hill while the prices spike!…read more Bought mandarins (cuties) the other day. They seemed fine, minus one I had to throw out. No big deal, only one. The next day 2 more were rotted, leaning all over the counter smelling sour I contacted the store but this was 4 days after the fact and ALL have been discarded because they are rotten. Of course you can't do anything without the packaging or the receipt. Didn't think I'd have to save it with their "fresh produce"

There is so much to choose from; hair care, prepped food, snacks, dog food and snacks and they are all organic and naturally made without cruelty or any additives.

I have tried everything over the counter, prescription, orthopedic medicine; nothing helps but natural and organic medicine!!! It's time we start using what Mother Nature gave us!

There's everything in this store, organic produce, juices, vitamins and supplements, chocolate and candy I've never seen before, they even have a little section where you can get a fresh smoothie or a sandwich. There's an area where you can sit with your food. They even have a post office in this little grocery store. But it is expensive.. a box of cereal is $7.49, and it's not even a large box. They had a 5 pound jar of local honey for $50.00. I stopped in to pick up some crackers for my guacamole, I picked some really nice ones for only $3.29, but half the bag was air. This is not the fault of the store of course. It's a lot of fun to walk through a store where everything looks new, and innovative. If you're in the area stop by, always shop smart, not impulsively.

Ortiz is long gone, but it's former shell is still operating as "Los Primos" Yes, I said bodega, because essentially this is what Los Primos is. Not only can you get the most incredible latin food, but you can also buy Faygo soda, Lottery Tickets, Cheetos & a "Loosey". Dont be "scurred" by the appearance, and don't let your apprehension stop you from enjoying some of the best latin food around. You'll undoubtedly have to bypass the riff-raff that congregates near the front door, but once you get inside the smells of sweet plaintains and freshly cooked pork waft through the air. A steam table near the back is filled with the delicacies of the day. Roasted Pernil, Chicken Legs in Adobo, and Steak simmered in peppers & onions. Yellow Rice & Beans, and Sauteed Plaintains. Fried Pork, Empanadas & Renello De Papas are in the warming cabinet up front. Lunch containers come in 3 sizes ($4 for small, $6 for medium & $8 for large), and come with rice, beans, plantains and your choice of meat. You can also buy meat by the pound ($6.99). Trust when I say this food is addicting. You WILL crave it again and again, and find excuses to make your way back to middletown for lunch time. Keep in mind that it's lunch time only, and they only make a certain amount of food, so once they're out, you're out of luck. I'm also not sure if they cook on weekends, or if they accept credit cards (i've always gone on a weekday & paid with cash). You can easily get away with lunch for 2 here under $15 and be completely stuffed. Go and enjoy a place that I used to keep in my secret stash...

They have their own wine and liquor store, plus a grab-and-go, buffet-style area with fresh, hot food. There is also an ice cream station with cotton candy and strawberry soft-serve, which is delicious. I especially love the cone cups because if the ice cream melts, it doesn't drip all over you. One of my favorite parts is the selection of pre-prepped meals you can take home and throw right in the oven, like Chicken Cordon Bleu and stuffed chicken with spinach and artichoke, along with many other options. It makes dinner so much easier. The only downside was that the avocados all seemed very overripe, so those probably aren't the best thing to buy here. Other than that, the store is well stocked and easy to shop in. I also really appreciate that they have real checkout counters instead of only self-checkout. The employees are friendly, helpful, and the service is good. Prices run a little on the higher side, but if you look around, you can definitely find some decent deals. Overall, it's a convenient and enjoyable place to shop, especially for the pre-made meals and family-friendly atmosphere.

I wasn't mentally prepared for what happened next, but it was entertaining. When you first walk in, you get the full bombardment of sights and smells. Like a mix of a fairgrounds and a convenience store. Then all the displays and aisle lead to a zig zag path with no nice way to circumvent. You have to follow the path, and along each bend is the grocery's brand of products. Dotted along the path are a number of animatronics. Singing and dancing fruits, veggies, and animals greet you with a cavalcade of noise and motion. None of them annoying, but it's something you need to adjust to as you go about your supply run. Eventually got to the meat section, and the quality and price were fairly reasonable compared to competitors. They have large pieces of meat that the butcher can clean up and cut into whatever thickness you like. Pricing of the other groceries varies, and the selection is usually limited to a few options. But the quality of the staples makes it a worthwhile trek. The staff at the time I went was not very present, but the cashier was friendly. It's not a constant stop, but one that I would go to for the freezer restock. For those who have not tried them, expect rainforest cafe or bugaboo creek and prepare for a walk.
