ALDI USA Reviews

by Captainamericagirl

All of the reviews I’ve read seem to be exclusively about the store itself (and I agree that it’s a great store!) however, ALDIUSA itself is pretty useless. It allows you to view the weekly ads really quickly, but that’s it. If you want to do anything else, like order groceries online, it will just ask to open web browser and take you to their website (so then why am I bothering with an app?) and the only other feature is a grocery list. I was excited about the grocery list option because I thought it would be like the Kroger app, which allows you to view all store items, including prices, as you create the list. Unfortunately, not. You type any items you need (hoping they carry them) and you manually write the price in yourself (so I guess if you go often enough and just know the prices off the top of your head).. so pretty useless in the end. In the end, it’s easier to just go to their website. No use downloading an app.

Why does the weekly ad feature not work anymore? It just keeps redirecting to safari but then doesn’t bring up the ad. Not being able to look up the weekly ad through ALDIUSA makes it rather irrelevant. That and the shopping list were the two reasons I used ALDIUSA . I would love to see the shopping list have a few features added to it. Being able to create a list using categories would be nice or at least a feature that would allow the user to move an item to a different place on the list would be nice. I love that I can use it to keep track of how much I’m spending so I don’t go over budget, but I always feel like I wish it had a few more features than a basic list and calculator.

I deleted ALDIUSA because it’s not useful. This is sad b/c I love Aldi! You can’t create an acct or sign sign in, so anything you put in your cart or the shopping list is gone if you leave ALDIUSA . The search function doesn’t work well. ALDIUSA is simply not user friendly and lacks SO much. And what is up with being directed to the store to find the price of an item? if I have chosen my store why is the price not there? There are so many things that need to be corrected with ALDIUSA. I suggest the developers take a look at how smooth the Walmart app works. Just go to the Aldi website because that’s where ALDIUSA ends up taking you anyway. AND you can’t sign in to the website either, so it’s the same issues as with ALDIUSA , it’s all a huge frustration. I typically use curbside service at a different store simply because it’s too much trouble to use Aldi app/website. People need to STOP leaving reviews for the STORE, this is for ALDIUSA which is horrid!

The shopping aspect if ALDIUSA need to be made easier, its a bit ridiculous that I need to go through 5 different tabs just to get to the part where I can start shopping. I love the fact that there are useless application right on the first screen, ah yes a grocery list, like I cant do that in my notes app, I would be more understanding of that being the first page if the price self populated after you favorited a location and it you the selection of items that fall in the types category (like the several kinds of milk or eggs) but no a useless app component should be front and center and the actual shopping component be several pages in.
I would hate to be stuck home seriously sick trying to use ALDIUSA to have my groceries delivered.

How to fix:
Have the user select a store as their favorite, and make it so shopping is the first thing that pops up and with an easily accessible sales flyer tab. Actually have a website configured for smart phone use and don't just have ALDIUSA take the user to the regular website which is configured for a computer. At least have to shopping feature be in the featured tab and not the more tab.

I tired ALDIUSA and every time I want to place a pickup order, it takes me to the online site. So why bother downloading ALDIUSA ? In addition, nowhere that I see does it say that when you place a pickup order, that you must process it through Instacart when you get to the store for pickup. It also doesn’t say this on the sign (at my ALDI pickup area) so you are left wondering how on earth to let them know you are there for your pickup. The sign at my ALDI says “use ALDIUSA or text” to let them know you are there, but doesn’t specify Instacart app nor is there a phone number on sign so you know where to send the text. When you ask the people who bring out your order (after you e walked in the store to let them know you are there), they just shrug and say it’s a third party company and they don’t know how it works. Deleted app.

I’ve recently been introduced to Aldi and fell in love with their amazing prices!! ALDIUSA really need major work! It’s a lot easier to compare prices and order online with Walmart and Target. I don’t like the feature of ordering online groceries to be redirected outside of ALDIUSA . I’d like to see more photos of each item, especially a nutrition label and the ingredients list. I’ve also noticed the prices online are not accurate to what’s in store, even when I select which store is closest to me. This online versus in store price comparison was done on the same day, so that’s disappointing.
Aldi, please fix, because I’m a lover of the store!🤍

ALDI is my favorite store. I wish I lived their app just as much. It should provide support to customers that you can get from calling the store like all other supermarkets, since you can’t actually call any ALDI location. Wouldn’t it be incredible if it linked up with stores’ inventories to let you know which location still has that ALDI Find you’re searching for? I’ve driven to multiple locations in vain on multiple occasions. Its shopping list feature would be better if you could find the products they always carry and add them, including their prices. I love the simple innovations their store incorporates to allow such great prices on their products. Improving ALDIUSA in these ways would only increase their business from today’s online shoppers.

Absolutely loved ALDIUSA - but since the last update, there are no dates on the menu for weekly specials buys!! Even when I save items to my list...my list no longer has dates either. Makes it challenging when going in to ALDIUSA and trying to figure out if that item was last weeks special or this weeks. It’s also been nice to have all my items saved on the list so I can go back and look at dates of when a particular item came in, since some items Aldi tends to get yearly at that particular time. Love everything about ALDIUSA - but PLEASE BEING BACK THE DATES ON IT FOR SPECIAL BUYS!! Thank you!!!!

by Sarah1Marie124

Aldi should inform customers of our “seasonal” items instead of posting them as “new”. This is a very common question for certain products that we only carry seasonally. Also, it would be terrific if ALDIUSA could inform customers of any ALDI Finds items that are not received (in store) in time for the advertised date. That way, customers know before they come into the store to find that item isn’t there.

I have worked over five years for Aldi and I love it! There have been so many terrific changes- including providing ALDIUSA!.. even though I do feel as though it could be more informative in answering more customer questions. Otherwise, I enjoy having ALDIUSA as a tool to refer while at work.

Dave Ramsey’s daughter said ALDI has the best prices. So, I took a second look, comparing it with Walmart, Target, Hy-Ver, Wheatsfield Co-op, Fareway, Thiesens, and Sam’s Club. And, other than loss leaders (items stores sell under their cost to encourage customers to go into the store) ALDI’s prices were lower.

ALDI brands are not always familiar to me, so I can’t always vouch for quality and taste. But I usually like Trader Joe’s and both stores are owned by the same entity, so it would be worth trying.

The main reason I didn’t shop at ALDI’s much is because the stores don’t have accessible carts for customers with disabilities. ALDI stores also employ few people so no one is likely to answer the phone. I do think ALDI offers pickup now if you order over a certain dollar amount, so that helps.

I love ALDI, and ALDIUSA has made it so much simpler and faster to check Weekly Specials. I can count on one hand the number of times in the past two years I've had any real issue with ALDIUSA not functioning as it should. This works very well and saves me time!

A downside is the shopping list function can be less easy to use than apps that are specifically made to be shopping lists; that is not ALDIUSA's primary function for me.

Overall ALDIUSA functions smoothly and isn't buggy, saves me time, and I highly recommend it!

If you love Aldi (who doesn't love shopping quality for a lot less $$$), then you'll really love and utilize their app...

At a glance, you can see "Featured Items" for the current week and the upcoming week. Nice. You can also check to see what the "Wednesday Meat Specials" are, and if that's not enough, you can EASILY" add items to your shopping list along with the ability to "share" your shopping list (all items or just remaining items" via text message etc.

Since we travel, we love the fact that we can quickly get a list of Aldi Stores by distance, and click for directions to get there.

I add items to my Aldi shopping list as I run out ..and I arrange my list according to my most frequently visited ALDI store. Very easily customizable, too.

I've had several different grocery store apps on my phone but none compare to the ALDI app. ALDI really thought ALDIUSA out well. It's, quick, easy, unobtrusive and useful beyond belief!

THANK YOU ALDI- KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!

Thank you Aldi for:
All the Gluten-free grocery options;
The fresh safety packaged produce;
The “affordable “ prices; no coupons needed❗️
The affordable clothing options;
The pet items, like the cardboard cat house;
The wonderful friendly and helpful staff💕;
The easily-reachable store item set-up;
The up-to- date items, e.g. flax seeds, etc.;
The fast/speedy service IN & OUT‼️
The personal protection wipes @ entrance;
The 🛍grocery bag-boxes with handles
Etcetera - etcetera - etcetera. . .

Aldi, you’ve solved the shopping negatives and made shopping 🛒 🛍 a pleasant experience❗️

One observation - we clean our carts at the entrance with the disinfectant wipes… then, at checkout, the cashiers take your cleaned cart and exchange it for another… I would prefer keeping my cleaned/disinfected cart to the end, especially since I’m then packing our items… I don’t want to touch a cart someone else has USED, then pack my items for home.

Once, again, “t-h-a-n-k you Aldi”💕🥰🙂🤗

I started shopping at Aldi when I discovered the store in West Palm beach. The prices were very good and I could save a large amount of money compared to other popular grocery stores.

Even though the named brans were not available l was happy with all the products available. The quality and taste were just as good as popular name brands.

Since I live in Hobe Sound I would fill up a shopping cart of food and none food items to last at least two weeks. This saved on gasoline. When the store opened in Stuart I was happy with the shorter distance. I have been a loyal customer since and still fill up a basket with a large amount of items.

The staff has always been friendly and attentive when I come in the store. They even allow time for me to place my items on the conveyer belt then they start to price. Amazing how fast the cashier is and careful with putting items in the cart.

It took me a couple of visits to get used to this new store a few years ago. But after the 3rd time I was hooked. I try to make this my only shopping store. I love the healthy lifestyle foods you promote & the specialty foods for people with allergies. Occasionally I have to go elsewhere to find a specific product such as laundry stain removers but they try to have alternatives. I also like the fact it’s not a huge store. I’m older & hate spending the day running around all over Walmart looking for an item. And trust me getting a store employee to help these days is harder than pulling your own teeth! Lol I say just give it a chance!

by Oma2006

I’m so glad that there is an ALDI’S.
One of the reasons is that it saves you a trip to Chicago’s German stores. The quality is excellent, the selection is quite good. The only thing that I’m very upset about is that they no longer carry the cosmetic line. I thought that the selection was good and so was the quality. I used to purchase there shower gels. You literally had to go through boxes to find a particular type, god it was good. A lot of the time it was sold out. When I asked the store manager why they no longer carried this item she said that it was hard to keep it in stock. So they no longer would carry it! Now to me that’s a sign that it’s a great product. PLEASE BRING BACK THE BEAUTY LINE!!!

by Brudder Buddy

The staff is always helpful, always busy, this is a small but busy store. They are constantly cleaning and restocking. If they run out of something I get a quick apology and when to check back. I’m a senior citizen trying to fall apart. Two of them have my phone number. If they’re out of something, they’ll call me when it’s back in. A couple of times they’ve called other stores trying to locate something. If I can’t find something they generally stop whatever they're doing to go help me look or check in the back. If I need to return something, on the rare occasion, it’s quickly handled with a smile. Wish your other stores were as pleasant as this one.

by Amanda9334

I love this store, it’s my favorite to grocery shop at because I know I’m always paying a fair price. It’s also the fastest store for me to get through because I don’t have to look through 20 different brands of each product to find the best value (only 6-8 aisles instead of 20).
Their product quality is top-notch and I have faith that their brands are healthy and safe.
Finally, they are environmentally aware and I love that they promote that with their customers. (Especially love that they don’t use 10 flimsy plastic bags for each customer... Reuse their cardboard boxes to take your stuff home in or bring your own reusable bags... you can buy bags at the checkout if you’re in a pinch).
Thanks for being my go-to store!

by Lady_Heartland

Grateful to have gotten ALDIUSA a couple weeks ago because now I can see what’s coming to the store I had of time to prepare my days to be there to get these items when they come in!
I got the laptop holder, a few pet supplies and a mini waffle iron on the days they came in. That waffle iron made a huge difference, I did not know my son would enjoy these cooked waffles better than the frozen waffles and they are so easy to make! I can take it to go camping with even.
Anyway, I am so so happy with the purchases I have been able to get since applying ALDIUSA I look forward to the future buys so much more now!
Thank you Aldi for making ALDIUSA available! It has made a huge improvement to our life.
God bless!

I grew up in Germany in the 1950’s and 60’s and I strongly disliked my mother for having us take a 4 mile walk to buy groceries even though we were living right next to a food super market. Anyway, the trip that we took was to ALDI, the place that I came to love by now. I could just about say it’s my favorite place to shop, heck I might just be honest and say that I almost live at ALDI. You have the freshest produce, each day fresh, juicy and delicious fruits and veggies out of this world. Saving on eggs, almond milk and many other tasty dairy products. Fresh meat and fish.
Italian pizza fresh and frozen and many other delicious foods from all around the world, like oriental cuisine and Spanish cooking.
Many years of shopping at ALDI and it’s getting better every time I’m shopping here.
Thank you for who and what you are.
I hope you’ll never change and if you do let it be only for the better.
I remember that before you came to Rochester New York I’ve used to tell everybody about ALDI and about your savings and my childhood story and then you opened up your first store here. What a great gift. WOW. So this is my story from Germany I had you in my heart and told everyone about you. Until you finally crossed the see and that’s it.

Current update is not good. Before this update, weekly ads showed the start date. Now, there’s just “This week’s Aldi finds” and “upcoming Aldi finds”.

Why is the old version better? When I add something to my shopping list, ALDIUSA creates a shopping list with the date of the ad. Now, with the change, the shopping lists it creates has no dates. It makes for a really disorganized collection of shopping lists when every shopping list is titled “this week’s Aldi finds” and “upcoming Aldi finds”.

Also, if you click on the “weekly ad” and click on an item there, there’s only one photo shown even though the same item has several photos when viewed through “this week’s Aldi finds”. You can’t click on a photo the “weekly ad” to zoom in but you can when you’re in the “This week’s Aldi finds”.

This is an update that just made a mess of things, very disorganized, not well thought out. You should be improving features, not messing them up.

by Rokkett77

I was relieved to see that Aldi has an app to assist customers while they are shopping. It was helpful in that I didn’t have to try and keep a running total of how much I was spending on my phones calculator, helping me stay within my grocery budget. My biggest complaint with ALDIUSA is that the QR reader does not work at all. At first, I thought it might just be a problem with my phone, but other apps with QR readers work fine so it leads me to believe that this is an issue with ALDIUSA . Having a functional reader would have saved a lot of time by not requiring me to manually enter in everything I was buying.

Aldi became our family favorite store to buy our groceries, fruits and vegetables, organic milk and eggs, cheese and sour cream, sweets, champaign and even beer and many more, you name it. Our baby got in love with their organic baby food (pouches): every time I had him pick from his variety of pouches we had at home he always chose the “little journey“ brand which is from ALDI!
Most of the associates are very kind and helpful, they are hard working people and always make you feel welcomed in their store! And their prices always beats the other stores prices and the quality is most of the time much better! I know for a fact if I shop at Aldi I save at least $5-$10 per visit and I shop there at least twice a week! That save us a minimum of $500 a year! I hope they will soon open more stores, so more people will have the chance to benefit of their great prices and quality of their products!
Aldi site should be updated with the weekly prices on all their products, not just on the special items! Also the scanning tool I found it not working as well. But you still deserve 5 stars!

by Accmimi

This has become my main store now. I can depend on quality and the best price around. The smart way the stores are organized and run keeps their costs to a minimum. The savings are passed on to the shoppers. And I save way more than the fuel premiums the other stores are giving. Aldi stands behind all their products. I’ve never returned anything because it was defective or not as advertised. I’ve only returned things because they haven’t been a good fit or I’ve decided not to keep them. I’ve never had a problem returning anything. I love ALDI.

Kenosha north side store is wonderful. Kenosha southsidestore(Wisconsin) has gone to the dogs. Customers talk about how bad it is when we are there. Produce dept has spoiled food and looks like it was tossed up in the air. Rarely have shelves stocked with ALDI finds for the week. Employees tell you they didn’t receive items we are looking for. I decided not to go there anymore. I have to go way up to the north side store. I love the north side store. Clean and employees ALWAYS will help you. Thank you for your north side store!!! I tell everyone how much I save shopping at ALDI. Excellent quality. I hope this helps. 💕

For a long time, fat free half and half was not available! Now there is no half gal 2% mill available. 2 weeks ago, I was looking for Shredded Swiss Gruyere, happy farms, the male available for questioning said ‘no longer’ available. When I came to the refrigerated dairy section, there it was, they moved it! Looks like he should know what is going on in his store. When checking out I told him he appeared not to know his store, he said he did not understand my question! If you would like his name let me know, I may find the receipt

The Aldi in Evendale is by far the best! First of all I’ve never had a bad experience here. Second, it’s clean and a larger store. Third, every employee has a great attitude, always smiling and will converse while checking out. It’s a breath of fresh air to know I can go somewhere to shop(at great prices) not be around unhappy workers and I will not have to wait long in the check out line because they will quickly open other registers to adjust to customer flow! Thanks Aldi! Always a fan!!

Aldi is my FAVORITE store!
I am able to do 95% of my shopping there, (5% is my picky son who prefers a few things from another store), and I have to go down their special isle. I have found so many great buys in the isle, the knives stay sharp, the cookware is excellent, utensils hold up and for someone who has bad arthritis in my hands, the handles are ergonomically easy to hold. I could go on and on about everything.
The brands at Aldi taste no different from any big box store and for so much less.

by ❤️ColleenC

I’ve been going to ALDI before it was the thing to do. My mom would drive more than 30 min up in Chicago to get to one and we would feel like we hit the jackpot every time we went. Now more than 20 years later, I bring my kids no more than a 5 min ride bec they are popping up everywhere and still feel like I get so much more for my hard earned money and not just more but great quality. I can’t say enough good things. Love ALDI ❤️

by Knel23

I’ve been an Aldi shopper for the past 3 years. They have top quality store brand products that are significantly cheaper than name brand ones. Aldi has remodeled most of their stores in the past year and have added more organic choices too. They carry a great assortment of items from Germany and France that are wonderful. I can’t think of anything negative to say. I walk out with great produce, meat, fair trade coffee pods, incredible chocolate, even fresh flowers at great savings!!!
