Does anyone shop at ALDI? I’ve heard such great things. But went there once (to a brand new one) and…

Lol I was a manager there for 4 years. Whatcha wanna know?

I hated it personally as well 🤷

We shop there all the time and like it we just will not buy produce or Meats there but we'll buy everything else. Everytime we bought their produce and brought it home and opened it up it was rotten or moldy and spots we didn't see and the meats just look nasty.

I love aldi we just got one local I’ve only been once but it was nice.

I love aldi! It’s the only place we shop for cheap. I know not all are the same, the one by my mom doesn’t have the best produce and there are some things that are limited or seasonal, but we love it.

I use to go every few months or so to stock up on pantry stuff. Lately I’ve been going every other week, and I’ve been noticing the savings.

If you go, just know part of the savings is not being charged for bags. Bring your own or you can buy some. You also have to rent the cart for .25. You get your quarter back when you return the cart.

So the hard thing is that if yours was new, chances are the employees there were trained in a short period of time at another store and then sent to the new store thus lacking the years. I know the one I worked at was REALLY strict about quality (for those saying the meat or produce is bad) but our division was #2 in the country so that's the only experience with it that I have-I've not been to stores in other areas to compare. But even if you decide to skip those items, yes you definitely without a doubt save money on things like frozen, snacks, bread, cans, etc
