In my opinion, too bad for us Villagers. To me, from the few times I've been in an ALDI's, they seem to be one step up from a gas station convenience store: limited, cluttered, grubby, disorganized and a poor selection of quality healthy food. But I guess cheap likes cheap. However, I can't argue with their success.

They are "cluttered, grubby and disorganized" because people shop the crap out of them. Affordable organic, if that's what you're looking for, really good bread products and affordable dairy products and eggs. Yes, sometimes you can't find a particular product you may purchase regularly, but there seems to be a similar one in it's place. The employees at the 466a store are extremely hard working and efficient. I stopped shopping Winn-Dixie regularly when the new owners did away with Sweet Bay. I always hate to see businesses leave, but always hope they are replaced with something I will frequent. I will love having Aldi's just a short cart ride away.
