“I'm a regular at this Aldi's! They have a nice selection in the veggie aisle! And I love seeing what's new in non food aisle! Not really famous brand names, but their brands are surprisingly good! I especially like the Mama Cozzi Pizzas! I was skeptical when I first started going here, but once I tried a few things, I'm hooked! Fantastic prices!”

“Of the giant eagle grocery store's i use this is 2nd closest one and I use it because it is both convenient occasionally but will have a few differences is selection from the other primary Giant eagle grocery I use regularly.”
“I don’t shop at Dollar General very often, but every time I stop in, I have a great experience. Everyone I’ve met who works there has been so friendly and welcoming. It really makes a quick trip to the store that much more pleasant.”
“I had such a positive experience shopping here today. I have the habit of intentionally leaving my cart at the end of an aisle, parked out of the way, to avoid congestion. Well, today, during non-peak hours on a weekday, my cart went missing. I realize sometimes I DO forget where I leave it but I looked several aisles in each direction for naught. Seemingly looking perplexed, i made eye contact with a friendly employee and explained. I went on looking because maybe a clerk thought the cart was abandoned or maybe someone thought it was their cart. As I was about to give up and nearly resigned to start over (I was nearly finished with my shopping) here comes that friendly nice employee with my cart! He had found it clearly somewhere I had not left it. Haha. I get it. Somebody accidentally grabbed my cart and by the time they realized it, they left it where it was. But, oh, how nice not to have to start over. Adding to that? My cashier was extra pleasant asking about my day.. And topping it off? Another pleasant and smiling employee greeted me at my car and took my cart while offering pleasantries. Yeah, yeah, this isn't every day and I could complain about prices or a cashier's off days. Not today. Not here. Today was a stellar day and I am grateful. When someone smiles, ya smile back and that interaction lasts much longer than the moment.”
“Very convenient location with very nice cashiers. Good to play the lottery and pick up snacks and misc items. Parking lot close to door and level. Been going there for years. Always treated with kindness.”
“I typically have my prescriptions filled here, but the other day I went in to pick some up my doctor just put in. The pharmacist was very helpful and said one wasn’t ready yet. I asked if I could send my husband to pick it up later. She said it was fine. Then, she called me to let me know she couldn’t fill it until the next day because of a note the doctor had on the item. She didn’t want my husband to make an extra stop. I thought that was very thoughtful and great service because it did save us some time.”
Walmart wants your groceries at the door before the ice cream softens. On May 29, the retailer said its 30-minute-or-less delivery had reached 33 U.S. markets, adding a wave of new cities across the Northeast. Shoppers in those areas can order from more than 100,000 items, everything from fresh produce and baby formula to pet food, electronics, cold medicine, and prescriptions.
