Bring a Quarter for the Cart: Aldi requires a 25-cent deposit to unlock a shopping cart. You get your quarter back when you return the cart
Bring Your Own Bags: Aldi doesn’t provide free bags, so remember to bring your own reusable bags.
Limited Brand Selection: Most of Aldi's products are private-label brands, which means you won’t find many national brands.
No Frills Shopping Experience: Aldi keeps prices low by minimizing store amenities. Don’t expect elaborate displays, extensive staff, or high-end decor.
Special Buys and Seasonal Items: Aldi offers limited-time special buys, often including seasonal items, kitchen gadgets, and home goods.
Smaller Store Size: Aldi stores are generally smaller than typical grocery stores, which makes for a quick and easy shopping experience.
Quality Over Quantity: While Aldi might not have as many options as larger stores, they focus on high-quality products.
Cash or Debit Only (In Some Locations): Some Aldi stores only accept cash or debit cards, so it’s wise to have these payment methods on hand.
