#TasteOfALDI
Exciting consumer shopping news has broken on the West Coast. In trend-setting Southern California, land of organic food, eco-friendly lifestyles, swimming pools and perfect-looking movie stars, the grocery store chain industry has finally gotten a badly needed and overdue face lift. Meet ALDI, the new grocer in town. ALDI has gone from 0 to opening 25 stores in the Southland in the Los Angeles metro area and surrounding counties -- as far east as La Quinta, south as Calexico and north to Bakersfield.

With the Golden State joining the 40 year-old US family, ALDI now has more than 1500 locations in 34 states. All stores are built on the same simple concept: We consumers deserve a low-price grocery store option with multiple convenient locations in major metro areas that don't sacrifice quality or force shoppers to buy products in bulk to save money.

For example, at other markets, I previously paid between $9.99-$14.99 a pound for fresh salmon. However, at ALDI I purchased Fresh Atlantic Salmon Fillets for just $5.99/pound and my entire family is raving that this was the best fish they've ever tasted at home or in a restaurant.
And this gorgeous mixed bouquet of flowers for our table? Just $4.49. Item after item, I never ceased to be amazed by the excellent quality and low prices throughout the store.

How ALDI Keeps Costs Low, Quality High & is Eco-Friendly
From the moment I entered the lot with ample parking, I sensed this was going to be unlike any other grocery shopping experience I've ever had. As I walked toward the front door I noticed something I've never seen here in the USA, but have seen elsewhere in the world.

Inside the typical store, which is slightly smaller in total square footage than I've experienced elsewhere in a traditional supermarket, you'll find a spacious, cheery and bright layout with only four or five aisles which are wider than a single lane on an L.A. freeway. Just think you can actually shop without bumping into other customers or have to move wandering shopping carts out of the way.
