ALDI is a grocery store located on Nostrand Avenue in the Sheepshead Bay area of Brooklyn, near the B36 bus stop. It offers everyday low prices on quality groceries, including fresh meat and seafood, produce, baked goods, and frozen items. The store also sells home goods and limited-time items. Many customers find the prices to be very good and affordable, even better than some larger stores, making it a solid choice for those on a budget. The store provides free parking and options for online ordering with curbside pickup or delivery. The store itself is generally clean, though some areas like the fruit and salmon sections can become crowded. The layout, particularly in sections like cheese and hummus, can feel cramped when pallets are in the aisles, making navigation challenging at times. A significant concern is the parking lot, which has limited handicapped parking, and the rooftop elevator has been known to not work. Inside, the store has self-checkout machines, but a policy restricts their use to customers with 25 items or less, which has led to frustrating experiences and long lines when only a few staffed registers are open. While some workers are noted as friendly and helpful, other customers have reported encounters with rude staff, particularly when enforcing store policies. Overall, prices have increased since the store opened, but it remains a popular spot for low-cost groceries.
