It took way longer than it should for me, and I know many of you have been in the know for a very long time. But man, this place is so awesome.
I appreciate a good value, but mostly I appreciate an efficient shopping experience and a company cutting out a lot of useless frill to pull it off. Especially their barcode game. I'm normally a self checkout man, and I take barcodes seriously. Aldi is the only store I've ever been to where the cashiers might be more efficient than self-checkout, and the 20 big ugly barcodes on every package certainly help. And I always appreciate a small, focused staff. I don't like shopping at stores where they seem to have 800 employees and not a one paying attention.
I had to get sold on the beer to become an official convert. If it's gonna be a regular stop for me, it's gotta have good beer at a good price. Very few of my grocery trips don't involve beer and I'm not making an extra stop. The $6.99 IPA and Session IPA 6-packs are a great price and pretty solid. Without that, I'd probably skip it, honestly. And for the wife and niece, the cheap Blue Moon and Seltzer knockoffs come in handy too (seriously, the Seltzer's are a dirt cheap unicorn).
Anyway, I'm in love. What are the favorite buys for you Aldi vets?
