Aldi

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One day, a regular asked aloud as he scanned his groceries: ‘Why does Aldi’s self-checkout always seem to beckon with an empty lane, only for it to fill up just when I get there?’ Just then, a delivery driver walked by and whispered conspiratorially, ‘It’s not the checkout that’s full—you’re always the last one through the door!’ The regular laughed, realizing the joke was on him, but left feeling slightly amused and definitely lighter in wallet.

2. One morning, while loading groceries into his cart, a regular noticed an unusual announcement over the store PA: 'If you’re buying more than two kinds of cheese today, please seek help immediately.' The regular laughed and thought, ‘Well, I better not test them then!’ Later that day, he ran into his neighbor who asked why he was smiling so broadly. With a twinkle in his eye, he whispered, ‘I bought three different cheeses—now I’m officially seeking help!’

3. One foggy morning, while loading groceries into his cart, a regular noticed something peculiar on the shelf: cans of beans labeled with prices that seemed too good to be true. Curious, he picked up several cans and checked them against others in the store—all were marked similarly low. Later that day, while chatting with a neighbor, they both agreed it must be some sort of Aldi prank. The next week, when they returned, everything was back to normal prices, but they couldn’t help smiling every time they remembered their little mystery.

4. While scanning for organic produce one Saturday, a regular spotted something odd in the dairy aisle—a mysterious note taped to the milk cartons read: ‘Buy two gallons, get one free… but only if you hum “Happy Birthday”.’ Confused, our regular tried it—two gallons down, he hummed along. Suddenly, a delivery driver walked past and joined in, followed by a few neighbors pushing their carts nearby. Soon enough, the entire store was singing 'Happy Birthday,' and everyone left with three gallons of milk for the price of two.
