Got great dark chocolate bars there on sale for a $1 before Christmas a while ago.

I find a lot of good things at Aldi's but just go occasionally.  Dairy is great pricing.  I don't seem to care for their bread.  The can goods are good, but sometimes limited variety.  

I like the produce.  I do check the special aisle with housewares and holiday specials.  

I have three near us, and all are clean and organized.  I loved that they have added some self checkouts.  Sometimes I stop for just a few things, and can skip the checkout lines.  The staff seems nice.

An Aldi's is opening up near us soon.  Any suggestions/

recommendations on what to look for?  Do they have a fish market?  TIA!

I like their Zyrtec dupe.  Also, their peanut butter chocolate cookies.

The coconut and thin mint cookies

Candles (very strong)

Kitchen gadgets

Their seasonal housewares

The cheese boards

Pizzas

All their produce is fresh and unmarred

Nut mixes

Aldis in our area does not have a fish market.  I always look for organic spices, fresh veggies, and some dairy like half & half.  Prices always better than our other store options here.  Meat prices also cant be beat. My picks are pork roasts spiced with Carnita flavoring.  Delicious in the Instant pot.  Chicken Kabobs ready to throw on the grill. I also stock up on Olive oil and Avocado oil.  It's worth a stop every time I'm out and about.  Have fun!  By the way, this is my first post, hope I did this right.

My Aldi's is always clean and employees are great. I love their fresh Flatbread pizzas (great size for 1 or 2 people), fresh vegetables, all of their Brioche bread is great IMO, milk, eggs and butter prices are excellent, cheese variety is amazing, canned foods are always tasty, frozen breaded shrimp in the small boxes are a great buy, excellent desserts and chocolates. And of course the "aisle of fun"...you never know what you'll find from one week to the next!  You just can't beat the prices!

My DH is my grocery shopper, and he does not like it in there, and we have 2 close by, but he never goes there.

I have an Aldi's about 5 minutes from my house and two other Aldi's within 15 minutes.  I do a lot of shopping there and what I can't get there, then I'll go to the regular grocery store.  I save a LOT of $$$ shopping at Aldi's.   

I also love their center aisles for great homegood buys!   They also have seasonal items at very reasonable prices.  All three Aldi's are very clean and well organized.  The staff is polite and helpful.
