ALDI is finally in Richmond, VA – Gift Certificate Winner!

This post may contain affliate links. read disclosure here

* I received promotional consideration for this post, opinions and comments about ALDI are my own.

Have you heard of ALDI?

I hadn’t until I was invited recently to the ALDI store preview in Richmond, VA on Parham Road. I was immediately intrigued to find out more about their products, and I wondered if a store so small would have the essentials that we frequently buy in other grocery stores.

A walk through the aisles was interesting, informative, and yum! I was able to sample liveGfree Gluten Free Sea Salt Crackers, liveGfree Gluten Free Cookies, Specially Selected Brie Cheese, and Moser Roth Chocolates.

The food I tasted was delicious, high quality, and even better than my favorite brands. It was obvious; the store does not skimp on their ingredients and take pride in their products.

I wanted to find out if ALDI had all the essentials I usually buy for my household such as Coffee, Milk, Eggs, Meat and Poultry, Cheese, Fruits and Vegetables. I checked off each item on my mental list and I found them all in the store plus more.

The prices were astoundingly low:
12 oz bag of Barrisimo Ground Coffee for $3.99
1 gallon Friendly Farms milk for  $2.49*
Goldenhen Grade A Large Eggs for $1.39*
Kirkwood Fresh Whole Chicken for $0.95 cents per pound
Specially Selected Cheeses from $1.79 to $1.99

If I could only list the whole store for you I would!

    I will look for fresh fruit, coffee, and whole milk yogurt – things we seem to spend the most $ for each week.
