You know that feeling of heaviness when you walk into Walmart like you just feel gross being in there? Like theres too much stuff? That feeling doesnt exist at Aldi. I really enjoy the atmosphere and shopping is simplified and very affordable. I really especially like that the cashiers are allowed to sit down because that just makes sense! I get a lot of beef tenderloins here theyre really reasonably priced in the quality is pretty good.

Honestly at checkout. My only pet peeve is a staff could be a little more friendlier. I like their prices. But the produce you have to eat fast. So it doesnt rot. You get what you pay for. And the prices are fantastic. Great deal on ice cream. Vegetables I would get them to cook for dinner that night or the next night dont wait more than four days because they could go rotten. This is a place to shop for just a little bit of items. I usually end up spending about $100. If you want fresh produce I would go to California. Fresh Its in Pismo Beach. Where there is a gift shop area. Fresh food and produce. And its fits its name. Its a little more pricey but its worth the money you get what you pay for.Also California Fresh sales beach themed items.And one local artist Jay Shaffer has his lovely central coast theme coasters there.They are amazing.

Very spacious Aldi store. Very organized, very clean. This is twice the fun. Saving a lot on groceries, plus a very well organized store. They even provide customer restrooms.If you are in the area dont miss the chance for a shopping trip here.

Went to Aldi for the first time yesterday. They only have 2 disabled spaces by the front door and a few spaces on the other side of the entrance that work. Also apparently to get a cart you have to deposit a quarter (which you get back by returning the cart). I wont have the energy to deal with returning the cart. Restroom didnt have any place to hang your jacket/purse, *sigh* so annoying! Very limited options (only 1 kind of apple sold indiv? All else bagged?) and some items close to their sell by dates. They dont bag your groceries which is fine but in that case I would skip the cart, just use my bags already and only buy what I can carry. Dont think I will go back anyway.

I have bought friendly farms Greek nonfat vanilla yogurt for a year and a half. The last two containers I’ve bought has no flavor and taste exactly like sour cream. Doesn’t resemble yogurt. Why is this?

I really like every Aldi I have visited, and there have been quite a few. Mostly I’ve had good experiences in this location, but I’ve called in complaints twice because of bad customer service at this particular store.

This store is a great store for the five cities. Has an excellent pricing and the check out is fast and clean...always. Rate it a ten.

NEVER AGAIN! Drove 45 minutes to shop there. Didn’t find anything worth it and the employees were EXTREMELY RUDE!! A snooty female cashier pretty much tossed our items back into the cart then threw the empty bags on top. I’ve never seen a cashier working with their butt glued to a stool! Boooo!!!

Nice store.at first we were confused because the groceries carts were on a lock .one of the regulars explained the mechanism to us, which we did and went inside then a nice customer told us we need our own bags.finally we went shopping,the prices were reasonable the store was clean and I liked the layout.we also bought pork steaks which looked very fresh.an employee was using an electric small floor sweeper .cool.we had to bag our own groceries across from the check out stands.cool.the only thing they dont carry is. Magazines. Will shop there again.

Review №41

Excellent, excellent prices. In exchange you need to bring a quarter if you want a cart (youll get one back). When you check out your groceries will be placed in a different cart & there is a countertop on your way out where you can bag them yourself.

The only complaint I have is the wheelchair is ALWAYS taken.This happens because the store and its employees are all very clean...kind...helpful. thats why alot of us handicapable people shop there for the best food taste-price-choice of items in a 60 mile area. I actually have my medical care driver take me to the next city up....arroyo grande from santa maria ca. We dont have an aldi. I travel up there every 2 weeks.....in the middle of total lock down to do my shopping because the store and employees were cleaner...kinder....more respectful...and more corona compliant early on before there was compliance.I beg of you guys....G E TMOREELECTRICWHEELCHAIRSI AM WILLING TO PAY TO RENT ONE WHILE SHOPPING....NON REFUNDABLE TO HELP DEFER THE COST OF THE CART.....MANY OF US DIFFERENTLY ABLED ARE IVE TALKED TO A LOT OF US....HELP

I thought Grocery Outlet had great deals but this place blows them away for affordable packaged food. My go-to place for snacks and meal prep

Vi
Review №44

Sadly, the prices are just as good as Grocery Outlet, but their lack of customer service is where Grocery Outlet leaves Aldi in the dust. Today, there were a total of 3 actual employees on the floor, one checker and a line way back past the dairy case. I stood in that major line, while the two other employees seemed to ignore all the carts backed up. Myself and another customer abandoned ours, shook our heads and left in disgust. Please Aldi, it would be so great if you could either hire more folks to cashier, or train the minimal crew you have to pay more attention in keeping the lines down and focusing on the actual (dare I say: Valued?) customers.

Aldis has terrific prices, stock local produce, and sell some items made in the US and also from Europe. Most items are their store brand. Only downside is it doesnt carry as many brands as a large supermarket.

I enjoy shopping at Aldis. Love the fact they offer products from Germany etc. Always something new to try. Great Organic products.

Limited selection at reasonable prices.

Ja
Review №53

Aldis is no fuss, with an extra dose of no food products at lower prices. At the big box grocery stores the prices are higher because you are paying for isle placement and display whereas with Aldis you see isles but no fancy isle placement. There are some things that I like that I cant find here but you cant beat the low prices. One wish would be to be able to pick from single fruit items like apples, I really dont need a bag full.

Great prices. And the one heavy set young guy that works there is really nice. He was extremely helpful. Some of the lady cashiers dont like their job. And I felt rushed. But other than that I give it five stars.

Review №58

Aldi is a nice little store. It doesnt have a lot of the name brand stuff that many of the bigger stores carry. However, if youre ok with buying their brand of items, I think youd be happy with their selections. They dont have a huge produce section, but of the things they do have, the prices are very good.

Review №60

At first I did not understand the shopping cart process, but it made a ton of sense when when the shopping carts will all be turned rather than cluttering up the parking lot. Once you get past the fact that the brands are not your typical American brands, youre buying basically the same product at such a low cost. This store is awesome!

We found wonderful authentic German pumpernickel bread, cheese, ground beef, & eggs all in stock and all at unbeatable prices. We felt safe shopping there because they are taking Covid-19 seriously including putting one way arrows on the floor to maximize social distancing. We hope an Aldi store opens closer to our home.

Great store! Great prices on most items. Bring a quarter if you need a cart, refunded when you return cart to front entrance, very smart way of keeping carts out of the parking lot. Cashiers did great, very polite and friendly. Store very clean, wide aisles, room for more stock.

I frequently refer to the foods here as OP. Like for a college student they are just too good to be true. Ive never found food anywhere with a calorie per dollar ratio as high as 3,000 (Its the pasaga pasta packs) and yet the food is also healthy in that it a lo5 of it has few ingredients, so I consider it better than walmar which is just cheap. Its literally OP

Review №80

I go there only for the cheap vegatables and occasional good deals on cookware. Everything else is just plain boring. They have lookalike products that resemble common store items like crackers, bread, condiments, canned food. Just about everything Ive tried that looks like common brand items has this off-putting blandness or unusual taste that seems a little off.

Re
Review №81

Awesome discount grocery store. Most the products they carry are similar in quality to their name brand counter parts.Their stock seems to rotate but a great place to pick up meat, cheaper than Costco I usually start my shopping here then whatever I cant get buy at another store.

This is not your average grocery store with everything under the Sun. Rather, it has what you need 99% of the time and therefore its easy to get in and get out. And did I mention, the prices are excellent.
