ALDI in Des Moines is a store known for its everyday low prices on quality groceries and home goods. The shop offers fresh meat and seafood, produce, pre-made deli items, baked goods, and frozen treats at affordable prices. It also features an aisle with limited-time household items, shoes, and special foods. Many find it a great place to shop with reasonable, cost-friendly prices and weekly special deals. The store layout is small, which can feel cramped and overwhelming when busy, and the large carts can be hard to navigate. Some customers note that product selections are very limited and not all items are available. There have been repeated issues with produce quality, with items like oranges, potatoes, and tomatoes sometimes becoming moldy or rotten very quickly after purchase. The shopping experience is generally efficient, with quick and kind cashiers, allowing for fast trips. Customers appreciate that it lacks the uncomfortable atmosphere found elsewhere. For convenience, online orders for curbside pickup or delivery are available. Shoppers are reminded to bring a quarter for a cart and their own bags, though bags are sold cheaply.
