I Rediscovered ALDI

I normally shop at Safeway Supermarket at QV. Together with Big W next door, their service has been good. I guess that is because they serve people from all sorts of backgrounds and are happy to accept any paying customers.

On the weekend, I rediscovered ALDI. I visited the store when it opened last year and didn’t return until Sunday. I guess that’s because I find QV handy to get all my shopping done. The ALDI store in the Melbourne CBD is situated on Franklin Street (behind what used to be the Ansett building).

As with all ALDI stores, service is kept to a minimum but what little service I got at the checkout was a pleasant one. I bought a bag of small apples for only $0.19. Yes! It was 19 cents. I also bought a container of kiwis for only $0.99. At first, I thought the fruits’ quality may not be great but they turned out to be perfect as normal.

While I was still looking around inside the store, an elderly gentleman requested help to find a certain item and the worker (probably a uni kid) was more than happy to assist him. Unlike some shops I have been to, the conversation between the two was warm and friendly. I am not paid to recommend ALDI. I am doing this because I had a good time shopping there on Sunday and I will definitely shop there again soon.
