I'm in Ohio and I shop there all the time. I'm ok with store brands and some are really good. It's the cheapest store near me. And there aren't big aisles so you are not in there for an hour. Super fast checkout. I love it.

Wow I didn't know Aldi's were in Europe.

We have a new store which will open soon and it is just about 1 mile from my house. Now I am looking forward to trying it.

I love Aldi's. I have cut my monthly food expenditure almost in half. The dairy products are 50 cents to a dollar less than the local supermarkets. Can't beat the quality of produce, bread, frozen entrees and fish. Graham crackers, cornbread crackers, snack pies, spices are also good buys.

Aldi's does not have "gimmicks" to entice you to buy more packages than you really need at one time.

You are going to love Aldi's!!! I always visit the one in Binghamton, NY when I visit with my daughter - you're going to save a lot of money by shopping there!!!

We went to Aldi for the 9 years we were stationed in Germany. Loved them. Especially the German foods. We have 3 around Greenville . One of them is right across from WM, so we go there first to get our fresh veggies and many canned veggies and fruit and of course the German wine and candy. Then we go to WM. Cant beat most of the prices. Went today and even got the German Schnitzel and noodles. Yummm! You should really like it.

I love Aldi's, we really have found only a few products that don't like. Enjoy your new store.
