ALDI $25 Gift Card Giveaway and New Store Grand Opening

12/17/2011

I recently had the opportunity to attend the Grand Opening at my local ALDI. I had fun learning about one of my favorite grocery stores and trying some of their products. I was given a tour of the store and lots of great information.

The new store is bigger and has higher ceilings which helps provide a more enjoyable shopping experience. I was impressed with layout of the store and found it easier to maneuver. I also thought the produce was exceptional offering a wide variety at incredible prices.

ALDI is challenging customers to "Switch & Save". By shopping at ALDI, most customers can save up to 50%. Some of my favorite finds were avocadoes for $0.49 each, 4 lb. bags of oranges for $0.99 and pineapples for $0.99. The quality and the price cannot be beat.

If you have never shopped at ALDI, there are a few things you should know before going. Bring a quarter to rent your shopping cart. You will get your quarter back when you return your cart. This helps keep cost down and saves the customer money. ALDI accepts cash, some debit cards, and EBT cards. Bring your own shopping bags or you can buy bags at the checkout. I keep some reusable bags in my purse.

You can enter to win a $25 ALDI Gift Card! Use the rafflecopter form below.

Contest is over. 692 entries were received. I removed the rafflecopter widget from this post because it invalidated my feed with feedburner.
