I go out of my way to shop there. It's 18 miles to the nearest one and 21 miles to the other in my area. When I go to either I try to shop for at least two weeks worth of groceries, more if I can swing it in the budget. If I'm anywhere near close to one on other errands I make the trip. Most of the food elitists would think you were shopping gourmet anyway as much of the packaging is more 'fancy' looking than the generic yellow or even store brands look at other places.
Go check them out at least once.
I get their e-newsletter that tells the weekly specials. If you get that newsletter and see some of their special buys that you are interested you need to get after it as they won't be there on the next shopping trip. These are special buys that are there for a short while only.
I assumed you were U.S. based:
ALDI - Home page
Reminder to U.S. Aldi shoppers - they'll be closed on the 26th for Memorial Day.
