Saving Big at the Aldi Grand Reopening!


Attending an Aldi grand reopening can yield major savings!


I remember when the original Aldi grocery stores opened in our area.  I was about 10 years old and it was a no-frills, bag-your-own, buy-by-the-case grocery store. 

 But, this gangley adolescent has come of age and she is looking sharp!


No more specializing in "just the basics", Aldi is stocking a wide variety of high quality products!  You can find it all: organics, gluten free, and special Aldi brands at up to 50% less than you would pay at a traditional store!



Aldi coupons are as rare as snow in June.  You just don't see them very often.  So, when I spied a coupon for $5 off of a purchase of $30, I snapped it up quicker than a toddler grabs for a shiny object!

The coupon was in honor of our Aldi store's grand re-opening.  The Aldi locations in our area are all undergoing major renovations and the transformation is amazing!


MY GRAND REOPENING EXPERIENCE:

 

 

GIFT CARDS FOR THE FIRST 100 CUSTOMERS!

 

The Ribbon Cutting Ceremony was slated to begin at 8:25am.  Arriving by about 8:15am, we joined the queue in front of the store.  Everyone was in great spirits and chatting amiably.  The first 100 adults in line received a numbered card.  My card was #51.  When I entered the store, a smiling employee took my card and handed me an envelope. Each envelope contained an Aldi gift card worth up to $100.  The lady directly in front of me won the top prize!  


  
 My gift card was $10, but I was super happy, just the same.  It was great fun to see everyone opening their envelopes to see how much they had won. 


SAMPLES:  

 


  There were sample stations set up throughout the store, with friendly employees giving out granola bars, juice drinks, and gummy sharks and dinos.  The kids loved it!  

 

PRODUCE FOR A YEAR! 




Each customer on opening day could register for the chance to win fresh produce for a year.  Oh my!  You all know that fruits and veggies are my love language!  Wouldn't it be amazing to win?


NEW STORE LAYOUT:  

This is the best part!  The newly remodeled store immediately evokes the expectation of a first-class grocery experience.  


Aldi's expanded produce section.



They have moved the produce section to the front of the store.  Immediately, your senses are heightened by the smells and colors of fresh fruits and veggies.  

  The new shelving  and improved lighting both allow you to more easily see the products.






The large, new signage makes me want to stick around, browse, and shop!


The new entire store has a less cluttered appearance, with clean lines and well-defined sections.  It is laid out very intuitively.  Although I've been Aldi shopper for decades, I found that I had an easy time finding items, even though they had reorganized and moved some merchandise to a different area of the store. 




The whole effect is lighter, brighter, and more pleasant.  It's a major improvement!   


MORE COUPONS!


When I checked out, I used the coupon for $5 off of a minimum $30 purchase.  Then an amazing thing happened!  The cashier handed me three more coupons to use over the next three weeks.  Each coupon was for $5 off of a $30 purchase!  Guess where this girl is going for groceries during the entire month of August!  


 

MY HAUL:  

I got all of this for just over $25, after using my $5/$30 coupon and my $10 gift card!


Aldi has found its stride and positioned itself as a leader in the industry!  Well done!  I can't wait to see what they do next!  If you've never visited them, head right over to your local Aldi !  You won't be disappointed!
