Aldi

I really like this Aldi. It is very clean and none of the extra frills of the big box supermarkets. I order my meals via blue apron, so this is the perfect place to pick up some healthy snacks and breakfast items.
Make sure you bring a quarter to «rent» the cart. The quarter is returned to you after you are finished. Also bring your own bags. Aldi now accepts credit cards (according to their website).
I highly recommend the sweet potato chips located on your right when you first walk in. They have weekly specials which you can view online for extra savings. I am a huge fan of the fact that they have 100 calorie options and fit n’ easy brands. I usually stick to packaged items but I have friends who buy the meat and have mentioned to pay attention to the expiration dates. My favorite part of Aldi is the fact that there aren’t a million options. You might have one or two brands per item. Perfect! I personally don’t need 17 different brands of ketchup. They also offer organic and a wide variety of gluten free items.
Definitely work a stop in. Fun to see how much money you can save vs. what you would spend normally.

I have just recently taken a liking to this place. I had them lumped in with Save a lot and just didn’t want to go there. My darling wife drug me there and now I feel terrible for judging them.
The biggest draw to this store is that they are the antithesis to big box stores. You can’t get your oil changed here. Nor can you buy a new hoodie. What you can buy are groceries. Because it’s a grocery store. And they have a lot of good deals. You will find primarily their brand of things. For instance, they don’t have hot pockets. They have an off brand of pocket sandwiches that are very tasty. They also have take n bake pizzas that are $ 5.99 and they are delicious.
So, if you are tired of dealing with the super stores and just want to buy groceries, Aldi’s is your place. Not sure if this is relevant, but I’ve also been told they pay their employees considerably better than their competition.

New to Fountain Square, I’ve been checking out the various grocery store options in the area. I was surprised to find that so far Aldi is one of the best of the bunch. I like a small grocery store with beautifully displayed produce and Aldi fits the bill.
No, they won’t have everything you need/​want, especially not when it comes to toiletries. They also don’t have a lot of foods marketed specially to vegetarians. However, you will find good looking produce, a wide variety of cheese, your everyday canned veggies and fruits, and random eclectic food items — all for much less money than you’d expect. Next time I won’t come with a list and will instead let the food speak to me about what meal they can become!
Other details… The store is clean and well lit with wide aisles. You can’t pay with a credit card but debit cards are okay. Be prepared to bag your own groceries and bring your own grocery bags. And don’t forget the quarter deposit to reserve and return your shopping cart. Keeping overhead low = low food costs for you!

Hey-oh…Aldi’s!!! The cheap brother of Trader Joe’s. I can handle that since I live on the southside. When mentioning that, this is a really nice facility and the cleanest on the southside. Great corner location that is easy to get in and out.
The deals are swell here and they always have a lot more than some of the other southside Aldi’s, which is great because we all know food is expensive and this is a great place to buy bulk goods, such as canned beans or tomatoes. They have a decent selection of produce and of course wine! :)
So grab an ad, do some shopping. Remember bring your own bags and a quarter for a cart. It’s that easy. Really. Saves you a lot in the long run!

I’ve visited a few Aldis in/​around Indianapolis, and this is by far the nicest and cleanest yet (also probably the largest). I came in just to grab a few items and ended up looking around wishing I had a quarter for a cart or the ability to grow an extra hand. Their selection was quite impressive in regards to fresh fruit & veggies (compared to the other Aldi’s I’ve visited). Despite being in the not-​so-​nicest area of the near-​Southside I can see myself returning.

Why wouldn’t someone go to an affordable grocery store? You can buy so much good at Aldi’s and save your precious $$. I have been to a few Aldi’s in different locations, and they all have a very distinct smell. Not a terrible smell, just one that is noticeable when walking in the door. Have you found this to be true? I don’t know, just an observation.
A group of us went to Aldi the other day to buy fixings for a meat and cheese tray. Low and behold, we found all of our ingredients (for an affordable price.) People were impressed with our display of food … and would never have guessed it came from Aldi. So, there! Aldi wins. ;)

Yes. Why, yes. I am in fact writing yet another review of Aldi. The more I go, the more I like it. I’d like to see other grocery stores take note of Aldi’s no frills approach to grocery shopping. 39 cent avocados. Bring your own shopping bags. Queso prices that’ll knock your socks off. I’m still drooling over the $ 2.99 Brie wheels. Enough about general Aldi fun facts — let’s talk about the Madison Avenue location in particular. My sister has converted me to this not only closer, yet safer and cleaner location.
++An easy 10 minute drive from Downtown. Few stops and as my father would note if he were in the car — «less wear and tear on your vehicle.» Because, let’s face it Keystone sucks.
++Conveniently located next door to the Dollar Store. Knock out all of your errands in one hit.
++Clean and organized aisles. I appreciate how the «junk food section» is very limited at Aldis.
++As noted before, this one gives off a bit of a safer vibe. Don’t ask me why. It might just be because it’s newer.
++I’m not quite sure what it is about Aldi — the prices, floor plan, mindset? I always end up buying more produce during my visit that I do when at other grocery stores. Mangows, cauliflower, sweet potatoes, onions, bananas, avocados, carrots, cucumbers, tomatoes, oranges — yes, we bought it all and without the frugal blink of an eye.
The ONLY thing holding me back from 5 stars? Herbs! Where in tarnations are the fresh herbs up in this place? That is all. Oh, and I forget they don’t take credit cards every time. I respect this.
