ALDI 1600 Old Eastern Avenue, Essex, MD 21221

"I shop here weekly. Some of the staff are so friendly others are just dismissive and rude. I would rate higher but I tell them all the time. The produce here is moldy and rotten. I have bought food with mold I did not see. I have had to take many things back."

"My favorite place to shop. Weekly new items and seasonal rotation. Staff is nice and the checkout is speedy. Dont forget your quarter and reusable bags!"

"Aldi's is EXACTLY what you've been told it is. Nothing more, nothing less. "Off-brand" food that tastes very similar or the same as what you're used too for a fraction of the price. Personally, I read labels and watch the nutritional info for everything I buy but not everyone has the time or tolerance to take the time to do that. It's just that important to me that my family is getting the best I can buy for the money that we have at that time. They have a huge selection of fresh fruits and veggies as soon as you walk in. They do have an aisle with items other than regular grocery items that are priced cheaply and are nice, kind of like a Family Dollar or Dollar General but just 1 aisle. It's def worth walking down and checking out if you have extra money and aren't on a tight budget. I've always found something that either my boys could use or would just love to have and or something for myself & the prices are always very reasonable. The cashiers have always been friendly (they are paid well too so that helps!) and they are quick #bc they don't bag your items, they scan and place them into another cart and keep it moving so the line always moves quickly. You'll need to bring bags or be prepared to buy some of theirs. They don't cost that much, I like to have reusable ones with me BUT I tend to forget them most of the time and end up buying some while I'm there. They have a counter where you can unload your cart after you pay so you can bag everything. I prefer pushing the cart right out to the vehicle and bagging as I unload and pack away, and organize the trunk. It takes less time that way but only works if you drove or someone drove you. If you walked, took a cab or bus then the countertop is awesome for you."

"Great prices and stocked with amazing quality, be sure to double check expiration date before checking out. Ive gotten expired cheese. They did right by that mistake though and reimbursed the cost and replaced it with a new cheese. Honest mistake and excellent response, great environment and kind staff. Staff will go above and beyond to help customers."

"I would have given you guys a five-star if it was not for this photo I took. Why can't we just skip this kind of stuff until we know it's safe."
