ALDI in Cleveland offers a wide range of groceries and home goods at low prices. Customers can find fresh meat and seafood, produce, baked goods, pre-made deli items, and frozen treats, making it a convenient place for quick meals and snacks. The store is organized differently from traditional grocery stores, which some shoppers find interesting, and it features many products that are hard to find elsewhere, including options suitable for specific diets. Prices are generally considered good, especially for meat, with some items like fillet mignon wrapped in bacon available at affordable rates. However, pricing can be inconsistent, with many shelves lacking prices, which can make shopping confusing and sometimes feel like a scam. Restocking practices have been criticized, particularly the carelessness in handling prepackaged produce, leading to bruised and spoiled items. Some shoppers have expressed frustration with the availability of certain products, such as veggie French Bread pizzas, and with the limited selection of name-brand products. The store's staff is helpful, but customers have noted concerns about safety outside the store, including encounters with homeless individuals asking for money. Despite these issues, ALDI remains a popular option for affordable groceries, and many look forward to a new store opening in nearby University Heights to reduce travel distance.
