ALDI

Best place for grocery. If you haven't noticed, most full priced items in Aldi are still cheaper than half price at Coles worth. It's tough to get eggs here as they get snapped up so quickly. Shelves are often empty.

When the other store was out of specific nappies for weeks, I thought I'd check this CBD store at opening hour, after getting some groceries early morning at QVM and just as well they had plenty of stock. The store feels new and shiny still. Very clean and spacious. Staff opened the doors timely just before opening hour of 8:30am, important and relevant because the free parking at QVM ends at 9am. Self checkout worked seamlessly. Like any other Aldi store - cheaper groceries compared to Woolworths/Coles, small 0.05% surcharge on cards, pack your own groceries whilst staff scan them, or use the self checkouts.

Recently upgraded store with an efficient and modern layout. Self checkouts got put in a few weeks ago a d the range of products got bigger too. It can get quite busy in here but you’ll find everything you need for a good price. Some saver specials are unbeatable. Nice selection of German/European products available. Good for the r weekly shopping too. They also have some table for bigger and bulkier items - reminds me a little bit of a small scale Costco. Most products are rebranded but taste the same as the originals. Good selection of alcohol too.

Decently sized ALDI tucked away behind a lot of current construction. It was bustling when I went on a Tuesday around 7pm, with heaps of fresh produce and a good range of packaged items. The self-checkout was simple and quick, the staff were restocking goods and the store was clean and had a great layout. The only thing I'd really change is the signage because it's a little awkward to find when walking up and down the alleyways, otherwise it's a great option if you're avoiding the other big chain supermarkets 😊

Their prices are cheaper than most competitors, and they offer both self-checkout and staff-assisted checkout options. Most food items are available, making it a convenient shopping choice.

--For uni students-- Frozen butter chicken is decent value for money. Takes around 6-8 minutes prepare and microwave. 544kJ, 375g Frozen lasagne is nice but takes longer to cook, 9.5 minutes. 576kJ, 400g Will update review later to add more foods.

I'm giving this ALDI Store 1 star for one main reason: The disrespectful way that the cashiers are made to keep asking us to show the contents of our backpacks every single time we are checking out items as if we were thieves. It has so far happened to me three times and I can't describe how disgusting it is. I have lived in and travelled to quite a few countries in the world and this has never happened to me. I am seriously reconsidering visiting ALDI Australia because of this very reason alone. I don't know who the branch manager is but this needs to stop. Fix this issue ASAP since I'm sure you're easily losing many more customers if you keep behaving like this.

The shop assistant on duty on 29 December 2024 afternoon engaged in racial profiling and displayed racist behaviour. They asked to check my bag. After I complied, they neither provided an explanation nor offered an apology. I'm a woman of colour. NB: Checked other reviews and it seems that bag checking mostly happened to non-white. Should probably do something about it.
