ALDI is a unique, smaller, inexpensive grocery store with an environmentally friendly business model. It offers everyday low prices on quality groceries and home goods, including a wide selection in every category of food stuffs. Shoppers can find fresh produce, meat and seafood, baked goods, pre-made deli items, and frozen treats, along with limited-time must-have items and home goods. The store is generally described as small, clean, and well-organized, with a good and usually fresh produce selection at excellent prices. It also features surprise and gourmet items, like special cheeses and holiday treats. However, the store sometimes has less stock and a smaller stock of individual items, so it may not always have what one needs. Some shoppers recommend planning a second store visit. While the team is noted as friendly and helpful, there can occasionally be fewer employees, and the store may appear a little dirtier at times. The business model includes using a quarter for a shopping cart and offers options for curbside pickup or grocery delivery. Despite some drawbacks, it remains a popular choice for affordable, diverse groceries.
