After shoppimg Aldi in three stores in statesI have to agree with Jeffrey, "You have got to be kidding....Walmart watch out for Aldi?..a really poor excuse for a store with a limited selection of brands of crap nobody has ever heard of before.
We went and tried a few items but were not pleased with any.
Between the two, Walmart will get my dollars anytime over ALDI !!"
Bring cash, have limited selection and pay for a cart to use.

Here in Morgantown, WV we have two Super Walmarts and an Aldi's within minutes of one another. I proudly shop at both.

Personally Walmart has ticked me off so many times with carts all over the parking lot that I will gladly insert a quarter in a cart to keep my car from being destroyed.

As for the no bags at check out. How many of you same people complaining about that shop at Sam's Club? At least at Aldi's you can pack a bunch of stuff inside the boxes they offer for free.

One big difference between Walmart and Aldi's is Walmart's hours are a lot better for the average family. Aldi's closes early, but ours is at least open from 12-5 on Sunday.

Alot of things are cheaper and just as good at Aldi's. I hate looking at the price of granola bars, cereal, milk ($2.69 at Aldi), bread including whole wheat (for less than $2), juice boxes, peanut butter, yogurt, chips, crackers, cheese products, cookies, and pizza in Walmart as well as other stores.

Heck our Walmart doesn't even offer gas incentives like some do, and I still prefer Aldi's for the bulk of my shopping. Yeah sure you have to be willing to try off brand stuff, but you'll soon have your fav. Also stay on top of the specials and there are bargains on name brand goods too as well as other household items. Good luck

I agree with the fact that ALDI is nothing to WAL-MARTS. I had to go to a neighboring town last week and stopped at the Aldi store. Which I was told I would have to pay (just change) to use the shopping cart. I and the person with me then just walked through the store and compared it to other stores and WAL-MARTS pricing here in Bradenton, Florida is cheaper on every item we looked at except MILK. Milk was a dollar cheaper per gallon.
I found the store to be like SAVE A LOT,bring your own bags, and look way over the stacked bins the food was in for prices.
I and the people with me were not impressed with anything in the store. I go back to this town often for Dr's visits and would not spend the time to stop at an ALDI store.

JEFFREY
I HAVE A VERY STRONG FEELING,OLD BUDDY THAT PERHAPS YOU ARE EMPLOYED BY WAL-MART/
EASYED

You have got to be kidding....Walmart watch out for Aldi?

Well we have both and Aldi and Walmart, at least the Walmart near Charleston, WV is a really poor excuse for a store with a limited selection of brands of crap nobody has ever heard of before.
We went and tried a few items but were not pleased with any.
Between the two, Aldi will get my dollars anytime over Walmart!!

Is price the only motivator in choosing where to shop? I understand that saving money is important, but what about how companies treat their employees and how they effect the environment. By supporting national chains with bad practices, essentially your creating problems for yourself, your community and your children's future. One dollar = one vote.

I agree and I am from Huntington and the same there I live in Florida now and they are coiming to there and they can't touch brands at Walmart

I guess I have not heard of ALDI, but there again, my area is not on the cutting edge of new stores.

The reason the store brands are cheaper is because name brands factor in 30-40% for advertising I enjoy most of the items at Aldi and will continue to go there. As for paying for a cart, ypu get your quarter back when you return the cart :)

As a military family we could not have survived without Aldi's. While I've always found their products to be comparable to name brand, their selection was severely limited. That has changed in recent years to the point that I believe that I could shop exclusively at Aldi's except for some non-food items (I think they have a little way to go in that area). My husband is now retired and we make about 4 times what he did in the military, but I will ALWAYS shop at Aldi's.

I am on a very strict budget and I have food to last the month at Aldi's. The children loves the dry cereal. Aldi's milk and eggs are little too much for my budget. I get those items at Kroger. I used to buy everything from WalMart, but it was way over my budget.
You said you are a stockholder, Hey, I am so tired of being POOR.
Will you share the wealth with me? please e-mail me and teach me how to buy stock in WalMart? Seriouisly! I know nothing about stock.

Any store can have inferior produce at any known time. I can understand the maggots being nasty though-I would leave that store! Our Aldi's in the Tulsa area are really very nice and clean. Produce is usually pretty good. I have been shopping there for 3 years now and have only had two bad products and one of those was not even made by Aldi. They do sometimes have name brand foods, cute little clothes or shoes, and often carry wonderful chocolates from Germany or Belgium-yum! As for the quarter for the basket-you get that back when you are done shopping and return your cart to the basket area. They explain with a big sign why they do this. Also, the bags you can buy last a nice long time (the plastic ones). I hopefully remember to bring my bags with me, if I forget, there are always empty boxes enough at the store for me to use-we do about 3/4 of our shopping at Aldi.

First, in regards to the quarter that you have to use to get a cart you idiot that will keep cost down because people will take the cart back and it will keep costs down since there really is not a need of paying someone to round up cart. Now, some things about aldi have changed with each new store opening and having more and better quality. It is much cheaper than supermakets in my area and includes Walmart. I think they will surpass Walmart. I have notice that Walmart has raised there prices several times. I will continue to go to several places to get my food and supplies and Aldi will be one of those places I will visit.

Actually unless your Aldi is different, you get the quarter back when you take the buggy back to the buggy corral. Never saw maggots at our Aldi and the store was always clean. The people were pretty nice too

Maggots I can do without!! But any store can have bad produce. I refuse to buy my produce or meat at Walmart. Once got a cabbage from Walmart and I steamed it over an hour and it just wouldn't soften. Their produce looks like it will go bad within 24 of hours of not using it..Their meat, especially the ground beef, looks like it went through grinder one time only and at a large size..Yuck!! I guess you get what you pay for.. I personally shop Price Chopper in Upstate NY...Can keep both Aldi's and Walmart for certain items but nothing beats a local supermarket for the best items...
