ALDI at 2121 West Main Street, Alhambra, California.

I was pleasantly surprised by this place. I didn’t know what to expect after receiving several circulars- supermarket or something like Target? The ads focus primarily on food, but they also have amazing deals on things like space heaters, slow cookers, nice candles, desk sets, etc.. Every week they have something new. I went in around 2 p.m. to buy a heater, but an employee told me they had sold out by 11:00 that first day, so if you want something that a lot of people would want at a great price, get there when they open. Basically it is a grocery store with a center aisle for the special deals.
Some reviews mention that they don’t bag your groceries, which is basically true. Right now, however, I am waiting to have back surgery and am handicapped- I can’t stand without holding on to something. I’m still a bit shy about this , but it is pretty apparent to the employees, so they have always helped me, and even offered to help me out to the car. I also think that the employees are very nice and helpful in every way. The first time I was there, I mentioned this to an employee on the floor, and she explained how things work there and explained the layout of the store.
The produce is fresh and inexpensive, and I love that they carry a lot of food from Europe, especially Germany. I have been coming in every week now, because they have not only the non-food specials(many of which are great gifts), but there seems to be a theme on the food specials every week, like one week they had all different kinds of veggie burgers and sausages, all containing different ingredients-some soy, others grain mixtures, vegetables, etc. The prices on those items were much lower than anywhere else.Also, the kitty litter is (not the very best, but it’s not bad) an excellent price.
I have and will continue to recommend ALDI to my friends and acquaintances.
