      Go to Aldi’s website and suggest that they establish an Aldi’s there in San Antonio, and have a location where they can build an Aldi’s Grocery Store. They will honor your request. Guaranteed!!!

    They have the best Braunschweiger!! 16 oz at $2.89 is huge bargain and it tastes ao much better than name brands. They have great deli meats all packaged . Their meat section is worth getting too.

    Potato chips: they taste as good as the brand names and are half the price. Cottage cheese: tastes better than brands. Deli meats and cheeses: as good as brands for less money.

    I love everything about Aldi. I have been praising prouducts for the last 10 years! Luckily we have a new one with lovely fruit and veggi display. Fresh products last longer than those from other major stores.
    My family and friends say I’m a walking billboard for Aldi. I could go on and on about fish, meats, poultry!! I consider myself a gourmet cook!! Lamb chops are amazing. I’m Greek so when I see them or lamb roast, I buy several to freeze!!

      Awesome. Lamb Chops in Aldis. I haven’t shopped there much, I don’t think I saw lambs chops? I know all stores may carry things others don’t. I 1st heard about them and was living in Alabama, I moved there from South Florida and never heard of them. Its funny the guy that was telling me about it had a deep southern accent, I thought it was some Arab store, in Alabama? LOL! I was happy with the things I bought but wasn’t sure to trust meats, etc. I told my Mom about it, and she went and was hooked. I am back in south Florida and they are popping up everywhere. I have been a couple of times since I got back, but I wasn’t sure of the quality when it came to food items. due to the prices, Looks like its time for me to go to Aldis and Save some money! Thanks Ya’ll for the comments!

    There’s nothing the megastores have that can’t be found also at Aldi’s, and our overall bill on average is 10 to 15 oercent lower than WalMart or Kroger or Meijer, the Big Three here in Saginaw, Michigan. Plus the store is supermarket size, not mega where it’s hard to find items. I’ve learned my Aldi’s and can breeze right on through. Their wait lines also are shortest.

    I have learned the three easiest Aldi’s for me are located in Victoria, Cleburn, and Grandbury for my travels. Georgetown is out of the way because of I-35 traffic.
    The grapes have been as much as 75 cents cheaper than H‑E‑B or Wally World. Salsa and Moser Roth chocolates are priced to enjoy regularly. I fill the car with groceries when I get near an Aldi’s store to save a bundle over the two local supermarkets.

      I went to the Aldi store in Georgetown for the first time. Good selection on most items..dairy products great! I saw a TikTok made by a chef in Denmark i think (Dutch labels)…those stores carry Trader Joe brand items…also saw 35g protein drinks at a great price however, neither item here…maybe later?

    I USED TO SHOP AT ALDI IN GERMANY IN THE 60s AND HAVE BEEN THRILLED WHEN THE FIRST TRADER JO OPENED IN BERKLEY/CA IN 2005. THEN ALDI RAPIDLY EXPANDED ACROSS U.S.A.
    AT ONE POINT, THE ALBRECHT BROTHERS (FOUNDERS OF ALDI AND TRADER JO) WERE THE TWO WEALTHIEST PEOPLE IN GERMANY. I AM PLEASED TO DO MOST OF MY FOOD SHOPPING THERE BECAUSE I LIKE MANY OF THE PRODUCTS, QUALITY,EASE AND PRICES!
    THANK YOU!

    As concerning Aldi stores-we have 2 in Sioux City Ia but they missed putting in one in So sioux City Ne in the last yr. There was an empty Walmart for yrs not being used and finally a heating and cooling products store went in there and they have about 5 cars in that lot daily. What a waste. There is a huge Tyson plant a mile away and many Hispanic employees who would have used that store all the time. If you need more ideas of communities to come to put South Sioux City Nebraska at the top of your list PLEASE!!!!Thanks

    Listen women! Aldi has a skincare line called Lacura. I have been using their day/ night & H20 aqua gel. I also recommend their 2 facial washes.1 being a scrub and the other a super bubbly facial wash. I use all their facial products and have had amazing results! It is no shocker that I am saving huge on everyday skincare. No joke!

    I am from the Victoria area & shopped Aldi’s from the time they arrived there. I have recently moved to New Braunfels & miss Aldi’s terribly. New Braunfels NEEDS an Aldi’s so badly. This area is exploding & one Aldi’s would probably not be enough. I wish they would consider us as a location!

    It’s been a few years since I shopped there (because another regional grocer is definitely closer for me logistically) but I always though Aldi’s had very good (especially for the price) ham and turkey deli slices, single slice cheese (cheddar, Swiss, Pepper Jack, etc.), eggs, boneless skinless chicken breasts, ribeye steaks, and yogurt. I don’t like their peanuts as they taste cheap and inferior tbh. Their produce is just okay, I like other stores who source more from local farmers better for that. Most of their products are pretty good though. The Cheetos and Doritos knock offs are also very nice and IMO taste better than the originals do nowadays due to all the nasty chemicals in them now. It’s not a bad place to shop for most basic staples. If they ever start all that gmo nastiness on a large scale then count me out as a customer to the business-not a fan of that stuff or any highly processed foods (especially diabetes fuel aka hfcs) at all.

Fast forward we move to Georgia no ALDI’s any where within two hours away. I called Germany where the family of Aldi’s were explained we had been with Aldi’s for a long time my daughter is now 34 and we still use Aldi’s to this day!!! Thank you Aldi’s

    I’ve been enjoying my Cerritos California Aldi since it opened. The crew are amazing and hard workers. There are so many items that are my faves…too many to mention. I agree with what several shoppers have posted. The prices are amazing. Avocados under a buck, bananas 39 cents a pound, their 8 Oz Happy Farms soft cream cheese at $2.25 is every bit as good as Philadelphia’s at almost $4 at Ralph’s, Von’s or Stater Bros. Their chips and crackers are very reasonable too. And even when there’s a long checkout line, the checkers are so fast that by the time you’ve put your items on the conveyor belt, you’re quickly rung up and on your way! Love my Aldi!🥰

    My absolute favourite products at Aldi are the lightly smoked salmon, the cheeses and the Black Forest cake. The salmon has a flavor and texture that is out of this world good. Almost needs no seasoning. I just add a little butter or pesto and bake in a foil pack. Thank goodness the Black Forest cake is mostly for German week or I would be much larger than I currently am. The cheeses are delicious. I have tried so many that are new to me and never been disappointed.
