7 Reasons Why I love shopping at ALDI (and you should too)

 Hey Everyone! I have been shopping at ALDI for about two years now.  A friend of mine recommended it after I mentioned to her that I was on a very tight budget.  I have been hooked every since then.  Here are 7 reasons I love to do my grocery shopping at ALDI.

#1 Everything always seems to be in stock

Haven't we all been in the store needing that one particular item, only to discover ITS OUT OF STOCK!  In my two years, they have never been out of stock of anything!  Even at that dreaded first of the month rush.  Somehow ALDI manages to keep those shelves stocked as if it were MAGIC. 

#2  Small and Manageable

It is so nice to pull into a small parking lot where I don't have to hike for a mile, to get to the store. YALL KNOW WHAT I MEAN?  The parking lot at ALDI is always clean.  There are no shopping carts abandoned or litter on the ground.  There is always a place to park.  Not only is the parking lot small and convenient as is the store itself.  Inside ALDI it is a small yet spacious grocery store.  you will find that the shelf's are neat and stocked.  The isles are wide enough for two carts at once!  I can navigate very easily through the store.  Its wonderful!


#3 Eco-Friendly

Aldi is doing great things for the environment.  At this store, you bring your own reusable bags.  This keeps those thin little plastic ones out of our landfills.  You can purchase reusable bags right in the store or if you prefer you can purchase paper bags that are recyclable.  These bags are hefty and can be used for a long time.  ALDI also allows its customers to use their stock boxes for FREE!  

#4 Organic foods that are affordable

Have you ever said..."Its too expensive to eat organic."  Well not anymore.  ALDI offers a wide variety of organic food and snacks, and no they wont break the bank.  My favorite is their sweet potato chips. Yum!

#5 Everyone is so nice

ALDI has made a wonderful atmosphere to shop in.  Everyone is so pleasant when I go to ALDI.  Not just the staff, but the customers as well.  I think since people have a nice experience when they come into the store, they can not help but to be sweet to all those they encounter.

#6 Ease of Checkout

When shopping at ALDI  the checkout process is always fast and easy.  The cashiers are seated, which helps them to scan at super speed! The products are then put into a cart and you bag them yourself.  Every Lane is the FAST LANE!
 


#7 You save money

 ALDI  has been creative about saving you money.  There is no need for cart pushers at ALDI.  All of the carts always stay neatly stacked by the outside door.  This is because in order to use a cart you put in a quarter into the cart, and when you return the cart you get your quarter back.  Its so simple!  It saves the company money.   Therefore they can pass the savings on to you!  That is not the only way you save money there.   The food is a great value and taste great too.  Cost are also cut by not buying bags or paying people to bag.  Using these creative business strategies ALDI has been able to create a profitable business while maintaining low prices for their customers.  Thank you ALDI!
