I am a huge fan of the kale chips, which are full of flavor and free of the usual twigs and stems of other brands My mom also appreciates a good kale chip so I wanted to share these with her and ordered several bags online to send to her (outside the tri-state area). The package ended up coming to me by accident. Wynter graciously and immediately went to work to not only correct the order but to add a sampler of other Raw Food Central treats as an extra thank you. (My mom is now a fan as well and my dad LOVES the super crunchy and tasty onion rings.) Thank you so much for your fabulous products and really rare, really caring customer service.

This lifestyle consists of raw vegan food (no animal or dairy products) with fresh vegetable juices.

We teach from a Biblical perspective. Through personal experience over the past 30 years and much research regarding the raw food diet and lifestyle we have found it proves to be the ideal way to eat and live.

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.

When I went in today she was very helpful and helping me choose the shake that I wanted along with an energy tea because I hadn't had coffee yet either. They have a variety of standard shakes and also seasonal flavors. I went with the chocolate, covered strawberry, a standard favorite of mine, as well as the scoop of peanut butter powder as well. They have small, medium and large sizes with calorie counts between 200 and 500 cal depending on what size you order. It's a great way to get a nutrition shake when you're on the run and you don't have time to grab something more substantial. I'll definitely be back to try some of the other flavors. They also have a loyalty card which I grabbed because I live right down the road and I know I'll be back for more.

We love River Ridge for their wide variety of produce; everything is full of flavor and tastes better than anything we can find in the grocery stores. We're especially grateful that they always have some of our favorites that are usually hard to find: ginger, turmeric, and local garlic! We also really like their fermented black garlic. The real reason we are willing to drive 40+ minutes to shop here is because of the incredible River Ridge team. Dakota and Matt are two of the friendliest people who clearly love what they do. The staff at the store are just as welcoming and passionate. We get excited to visit and are enjoy supporting them!
