Why I Freaking Hate Aldi

This post may use affiliate links for your convenience. Please see my disclosure policy for further information.

You want to know why I freaking hate Aldi and why you should too? My reasons are simply crazy, and I mean many of us have already discovered it, yet others haven’t and I am here to tell you why you should freaking hate Aldi too!

For those who don’t know what Aldi stores are about and want to start hating Aldi here’s a bit of a background from this grocery chain store. I mean when you read about this you are going to hate it just as much as we do. 😉



Aldi has:

  • Energy-saving stores – Everything this company does to help the environment from energy-saving stores to recycle bags says a lot about this company. This results in savings of up to 50% on the majority of your items.
  • High-quality food
  • Low prices in food

 

Have you shop at Aldi? If you haven't let me tell you why I freaking hate Aldi and why you should too! The reasons will amaze you.So why do I freaking hate, Aldi?

I never been to a store that treats their customers like this and those who shop there know what I’m talking about.

Bring your own bag! WTF?

When you shop at Aldi, you bring your own bags or buy their reusable bags or plastic bags at their checkouts. By doing this, it eliminates additional costs to the store allowing the store to keep their food prices low.

Again, finding ways to reduce store expenses including energy saving stores helps to maintain the cost of food down.

They have their own brands. Hardly Any Name Brands!

Through the years, Aldi has improved the quality of their products and their brand. They have some items that we enjoy in our home that is Aldi brands and can’t compare to name brand.

Aldi forces you to be responsible.

As a former retail manager, I have to say that carts scattered all over the place are dangerous and a simple accident cost tons of money. Many customers do place their carts in the proper cart corral, however, many don’t. These type of cart incidents cause damages and insurance claims that increase the cost of food in many stores.

When you shop at Aldi, you will find their carts in convenient places.  You put a quarter in the cart; you shop, and you return the cart back and receive your quarter back. By doing this, it reduces accident claims and removing employees to go out to the parking lot to retrieve them.

They don’t allow credit cards!

Many consumers don’t know that when you swipe a credit card, the store is paying a fee. Of course, there are no fees when you pay cash. Aldi only accepts cash, debit, and EBT cards. This helps keep the food down.

As of this year Aldi is now accepting all major credit cards! Just make sure you understand how to use credit cards and don't get in trouble.

No more “I can’t afford to eat healthy” excuse.

Aldi’s  selection of quality organic food, vegetables, and healthy items is so affordable can’t be beaten and makes it affordable for everyone to purchase.

I hate freaking Aldi because for many years I wasted my hard earned money purchasing foods at other retailers when I could have purchased my groceries there.

The reality is that if you don’t want to save money and get good quality food, then that’s on you. The truth is I love Aldi and will recommend to anyone. Hearing the recent news of how much they have grown and improved and are so conscious of the environment makes me proud to say that I shop there.

    I freaking hate aldi because you can get in and out of there so fast. I mean they aren’t nearly as big as a regular grocery store. I save so much time running in there for things I need.

    Also they have seasonal items. I freaking hate it…who wants to buy mums for 2.99 a bucket? Not me I would much rather spend more at a nursery!

    I hate Aldi so much I go every single freaking week.

      Let me tell you how much I hated it today when I went. I took my 3 year old with me around 12:45pm by 1:05Pm we were in the car because they were no lines! Like you, I hate it so much I was there twice this week so far and the week just started.

    I’m sorry, I love Aldi. I ofteN hear people grousing that they need to open more checkouts etc, but I say you pay in time or money and if the line is long suck it up.
    Aldi is finally branching out into more organic foods, a good thing sinCe some foods that are NOT Organic should never be ingested, like potatoes.
    Another good point for aldi is They pay a decent wage and have at least fairly decent hours. No one works aLl night oR on Christmas or easter.

    The one thing i do hate about aldi is their wasted space stocking non foods. Their non foods are rarely a deal, are available at ten other stores in town and do not belong In a grocery store.

      Aldi does pay a decent wage where I live at and we have 4 Aldi in our county from having 2. I do agree with you about their non-consumable items they do take tons of space.

    I love aldi..cheap,organic products. The only thing I don’t like it’s the kind a quality of meats.

      I’m going to agree with you on that and their selection is not big enough in the stores we live.

    As an Army Brat who grew up in W Germany (8 months-8 years old) I love Aldi. I’m able to find some childhood foods at a low price. Just wish one was closer.

      From what I’m finding out they don’t seem to go into certain states due to their laws. In our area they seem to be expanding at a rapid rate.
