| - Aldis is the best and least expensive, clean, well organized grocery store in the area to buy fresh produce, dairy, and basic pantry items, as well as basic baking items and cereals, frozen vegetables, cooking oils and so on. The prices are approximately 40% lower than anywhere else in the area. Their double money back guarantee can't be beaten. (I once bought a half ham from Aldis. It was vacuum sealed; however, when I got home I discovered the seal was broken. This can happen at any grocery store. I took the ham back the next day, and even though I did not have my receipt, they allowed me to get a replacement ham with no fuss, no questions asked, even though the ham I chose was much more expensive than the one I originally purchased). I've been shopping here since they opened, which is more than 3-4 years now, probably lots longer than that. Their signature brand knock off on name brand items are as good as, or many times, better than name brand items, including their reduced fat knock off of Hellman's mayonnaise. The only item I've ever gotten here that I didn't like is their version of greek yogurt, which for some reason, doesn't taste good to me. I regularly shop at Aldis, bagging my own items in my own bags (or you can buy their very substantial and reusable plastic bags for $0.10 each or paper bags for $0.06 each.) The amount of money I save shopping at Aldis is unbelievable. The store is always clean, the aisles are wide and things are placed in a logical order. The service is excellent. The food is excellent. The prices cannot be beaten. The check out people are lightning fast, and I am not exaggerating. Although Aldis is not a sexy, trendy place, it has a way-cool vibe for me as it allows me to save about 40% across the board on my grocery bill and if that's not cool, well, then I'm simply a happy nerd with more money in my bank account.
