"First time in the store. I've heard good, bad, low price, and high prices about it. Like everywhere somethings are high but you can find some good deals on stuff and I'm talking regular price not sale prices. I will go back and shop again."

"I like this place in theory. The shipping carts are huge. Costco huge. I've, personally, never bought more than a handful of things at a time. You never know what is going to be on the shelves, but I guess that's why one goes. You never know what you are going to walk out with."

"Plenty of food, etc. The prices are always low - 50 cents for bread as compared to Walmart, for example, where bread is about $1.35. The produce is always fresh, and the store is very clean. Remember to bring a quarter to use a cart (you get it back when you return the cart; sometimes people just give you their cart), and bring your own bags. If you forget bags, they do have bags you can buy - 2 or 3 types, and they currently cost between 10 and 99 cents. Parking is always easy, too."

"We shop at ALDI for the low prices. ALDI has discount prices but doesn't feel like a discount store. It's kept really clean and well organized. You do need to use a quarter to use a cart, which can get annoying because I never carry change on me and sometimes the locking mechanism on the cart is broken. Issues with Instacart pickup: We often order groceries for pickup through instacart. For the most part this works well, but when I've tried to use the feature on the instacart app to let the store now I am on my way so I dont have to wait when I get there, the employee told me that they almost gave my groceries to someone else, because they were just going to give my groceries to the next person who pulled up without even checking. They implied that it would have been my fault if they gave the groceries to someone else and told me not to use that feature anymore. If ALDI is going to offer the instacart pickup service then they need to adjust their process to align with the instructions given to the customer through the Instacart app. This is keeping me from giving ALDI 5 stars."
