ours are newer and kept up well, maybe you should call or email the Aldi's corporation and ask them if they are planning on updating your local one? I mean, are the floors clean, is it organized, or is it a gross mess?

our aldis seems to be unorganized but very clean. I wish it was a little more organized though. you will find things all scattered and not were you would think they should be.

they are so small though (at least ours is), just 4 long aisles, so you walk up one aisle, down the next, repeat, and you are at the registers. Everyone is going the same way (normally) and even if they move something, it isn't hard to find it. There is enough "snack" (JUNK!) food for the typical person, all the staples, and even some gourmet foods and special items like plants, bedding, towels etc sometimes. I just can't say enough good things about Aldis!

just got a coupon from aldis today 5$ off of a $35 dollar purchase. so scince i only need the necessities this week, (milk, butter, etc) i think this week the bill will be under 40.00!

Im trying to meet a budget of 50-60 dollars a week for groceries. so far so good. But then again i bought like $400 worth of groceries with my refund 2 months ago i was out of everything! but now im trying to maintain it.

i agree i try to do a big shopping trip when possible, than it is easier for me to just buy small things at a time to keep it up to a good level.

Im not sure how i got on thier mailing list, but our aldis is new maybe 2-3 months old. Scince they opened i have been getting one of those fliers weekly of what they got on sale. Maybe because of the grand opening i used a coupon that they sent out to everyone to get them to go, and now i guess im on thier mailing list or something. but about every other week i get a coupon with the flyer. if you want next time i get one, i will see exactly what it says maybe i can send you one, and if you use it maybe you will be on the list.
I know its good at other aldis out of state because we dont sell alcohol in our state grocery stores and the coupon says it excludes alcohol. so let me check it out for ya!

please do, and I'll also see if I can find a website for Aldis that mentions coupons. I've just never seen one before, and I ALWAYS spend more than $35.00.
