Aldi's coming to DFW?!

[gmrtnz29]

I've heard that theres a distribution center being built in Denton to service the stores that are coming to TX and OK. Tarrant county stores are supposed to open in 2010. Anyone else know more info than that, like locations?

My sister has these up north and I can't wait to check them out.

Woohoo, I was driving home from work today and noticed that one is going to be in Euless at 183 and Collins right next to the Ross where Big Lots used to be. Anyone know when it opens?

WOW, that's alot of stores!

[Cynthiabutterfly]

Hey, they're opening one right near my house ON my birthday!

[sandygirl]

wow - I wonder if they will come further south to san antonio?

[ekoury]

Yeah, I saw article in Briefing a couple of weeks ago. Now need to figure out if any of those are going to be close to me.

[Cynthiabutterfly]

Anyone else hearing the commercials on the radio?


They had several stores open last weekend, anyone gone yet? There is one near my mom's house, and one by my old apt, but I don't usually go in that direction.

I went to the one in Garland accross from Wal-Mart. I got some cheap fruit (pineapples, oranges, grapes) and the milk is the cheaper than at other stores. Other than that most of everything else I can get cheaper at other stores w/ sales & coupons. I HATE Wal-Mart but I stopped by that day to say hi to my mom who works there and they had the pineapples for $3+ and Aldi had them for .99!!! :rolleyes24:

I checked out the one that just opened near me this weekend. My first mistake was inviting my husband and son to join me. :P

Here is what I learned from the experience:

1. You have to pay a .25 deposit to use their grocery cart. (I got lucky and found one abandoned in the parking lot, so I MADE a quarter. lol)
2. Almost all their products are generic (Aldi) so on the one hand you get a REALLY cheap product, on the other, no coupons or combined deals.
3. The only produce I bought were bananas which were .39/lb which is really cheap. The drawback is that it is pre-bagged (you just pick a bag) and they were very green. 5 days later, the bananas are still fairly green and untouched.
4. They only take cash or debit cards. (No checks or credit cards)
5. They do not bag your groceries (supposed to be a cost-cutting feature) so they simply put them into another cart and you bag them yourself (this would have been less hectic had I been shopping without the men), which leads me to...
6. I took my own reusable bags, but apparently you're charged (?) for plastic bags.
7. The store was fairly small, which is usually a good thing, but the way it is set up (sort of forcing you through the store) can be a hassle to get around (think corral). It's hard to describe until you're actually there.

I only went because they mailed out 5/25 coupons and a 20% discount is always good, but I don't see myself going through that again. I have another coupon for 10/40 but I can't see how I could possibly get $40 from there.

Yeah for Aldi! The one in Hurst is great! The produce can't be beat. Some of the best pineapple, cantaloupe and strawberries ever...oh and the avacados are excellent too and at $0.39 each a steal any day of the week.

Aldi's has already forced Kroger and Walmart to lower the cost of their milk. Aldi's is $1.79/gal.....Kroger is now the same price and Walmart is now at $1.78/gal.

I'm waiting for the one at 183 and Industrial to open in May. It will be easier to get in and out of than the one in Hurst.

I've been shopping at the one in Richardson on Belt Line. I LOOOOOVE the fact I can get cheap produce. :D
