My grocery shopping habits are so bipolar. Most of the food we get is through a local CSA called Fresh Fork. But for other essentials, Aldi's is awesome!
This location is just OK, however--when you find a great one, you'll truly understand and appreciate Aldi. I've been to this one, MLK, Mentor, Painesville and the Steelyard locations. Overall, Mentor and Steelyard rule the roost.
Like I said, essentials are ideal here. I love their:
-laundry detergent/ softener
-dish soap
-kitchen sponges
-anti-bacterial wipes
-bottled waters
-cleaning products
And they now carry organic foods! You won't find a better tasting cottage cheese anywhere else--which I know sounds weird, but trust me.
Also, try their:
-organic greek yogurt
-lowfat cheese slices
-organic produce
-canned items (tomatoes, etc.)
For the people who think they're too good for Aldi or that they sell horse meat:
1) They found horsemeat in ONE frozen beef product that they no longer carry. This incident was because the supplier was being dishonest. Because of that, Aldi has checked and guaranteed all their meats. I bet a bunch of grocery chains around NEO sell the same product, just labeled differently. At least Aldi resolved the issue and made a change. I still get my meats sourced locally through my CSA, but when I'm in a pinch--I'll grab some here. I'm still alive and very healthy.
2) You probably shop Trader Joe's. Hahahahahaha! They're sister companies owned by two brothers who use pretty much the same products (just labeled differently.) So, there's that.
