I finally got in to the Aldi in Manchester yesterday with my sister. Aldi is not new to me, I lived in Rural Wisconsin for 20 years, and shopped at Aldi all the time. Im thrilled to see it here. The cost of food out here is ridiculous, since I have been here, my grocery bill has doubled and is out of control for just 2 people because I live North of Concord and there are no Aldi up here. So, Ive had to shop at Market Basket and Hannaford. A lot of people out here dont understand the concept of Aldi. Its designed to be a self serve store on purpose. You save so much more money shopping here and its significantly less expensive than the other alternatives. What astonishes me are the negative reviews of this place from pure ignorance of people who somehow feel theyre entitled and this place is beneath them. Omg! A quarter to unlock a shopping cart is the end of the world.... LOL. I would rather pay a quarter for my shopping cart than to pay the extra cost at MB to pay the extra employee who has to go out and round up all the carts in the parking lot and bring them back because there are no carts to get inside, or chase down all the carts that freely blow around, take up parking spaces and run into your car and do damage because the customer was too lazy to bring the cart back after shopping. I bring my cart back and Omg! I got my quarter back because I put it back where I got it from. I see people complaining about the employee who is throwing the food in the cart at checkout. It isnt the Aldi store to blame, but the employee themselves, who by the way is also from NH. Maybe, the store manager just needs to remind the employee to use some finesse. They are there to check you out, not throw your food rudely. Trust me, that employee didnt learn to be rude from working at Aldi, they were rude before they got hired. I would rather bag my own groceries. 99% of the time, I have to stand out in the parking lot and rearrange my groceries in the MB parking lot because if I dont, by the time I get home, my bread is squished beyond recognition or my eggs are broken because of the way they bagged it. Are you that insulted that you have to furnish or buy your own bag? Wow, Really? You just saved a lot of money and you dont understand why you should pay for your own bag? They are .06 cents so 7 of them is .42 cents. Get a grip... better yet, recycle the 14 plastic bags you just threw in the trash. The food there is not below par, there is nothing wrong with the food. It tastes the same as the name brand or the store brand that you buy to save money. The only difference is the label and the price. What I bought yesterday at Aldi for 100.00, I would have easily spent 180.00 + for the same thing at MB. They have the right concept, easy maintenance, low overhead, clean, nice variety, different suppliers, self serve all add up to huge savings at the check out, because that concept allows them to keep the prices lower than anybody out there so they can help everybody save money. The prices in the NH Aldi are the same exact prices as what I paid in the Wisconsin Aldi, which I love because I just cut my food bill in half. The entitlement that people feel they have because of just plain ignorance is mind blowing. Im gonna keep shopping at Aldi and spend my 300.00 + savings every month on something other than food, while you stand in line at MB and pay twice as much for the same thing that I just bought. Maybe, people are just afraid of the unknown because they dont have anything else to compare it to. Its easier to snub your nose than it is to open your mind and bag your own groceries... really? How sad, for you. Open your mind, Its not that scary... First time shoppers... bring a quarter and bring your own bags or be prepared to spend .42 cents on buying them and leave your narrow little MB mind at home. Youll save so much more money that way... Oh, and by the way... that delicious meal that you just ate at my house and went back for a second helping came from Aldi....

Amazing how the same Manchester morons who have been hating on PriceRite for a year or two are now happily shopping at this place, which is literally the exact same concept, but smaller. All these Manchester babies were griping on the bus about paying for bags at PriceRite, but its ok at aldi. Both stores have limited selection, except PriceRite has like triple what aldi has. Prices are competitive between the two, and cheaper than everywhere else. Despite this, PriceRite is rated 3.5 and aldi is 4.5. and both stores are virtually empty at all times. While you cant find a parking space at market basket. I hate going there because i always have to dodge shoppers running around like toddlers thinking they own the whole store. I usually go to PriceRite since its closer but if this is closer to you, its the same thing and you wont have to Wade thru all the barbarians at mb and Hannaford

I cant say enough good things about Aldi. I can buy a cart full of groceries for half the price of Wal-Mart. The cashiers are cheerful and extremely fast. The isles are free of clutter, so its easy to move around. Theres plenty options for those of us trying to eat healthy. Its a quarter to use a cart, but you get your deposit back when you return it. Its an ingenuous idea that keeps lazy entitled fools from leaving carts all over the parking lot. I reuse my plastic bags, but theyre super cheap if I need to buy a few. I still save a fortune on groceries. No coupons or shoppers cards needed!

Aldi is a one-of-a-kind store. Limited selection, almost entirely generic, means a lot of the stuff is hit-or-miss. Their bagels are meh, but their "Pane Turano" bread makes some of the best toast ever, and is great for sandwiches. Their Greek yogurt tastes weird, but their regular yogurt is great. That kind of thing. Also, be sure to bring your own bags (they charge for theirs), bring a quarter to get your cart out (you get it back if you return it to the cart corral) and be ready to bag your own food. But hey, its cheap, and has a good enough selection that we visit every week.

I am shopping for a family of 4 with two picky teenagers and they love the snacks,granola bars,etc I actually bought two gallons of milk for what we pay for one the deals are endless cannot wait to go back.:)

Amazing store with an excellent selection of food packed into a very small space they operate in. Bring $.25 to rent a cart but you get it back when you properly return it, and bags to bag your groceries, but you will be handsomely rewarded with a 40-50% lower grocery bill than what you would have paid at Hannaford, Market Basket, or Walmart.
