"The unwritten rules at Aldi start with how to get your cart and end with what to do with it when you're done shopping. You'll also need to know several bits of information about store etiquette, from what items in the store are fair game to how to make life easier for your cashier. Plus, you'll need to know the best time to shop."
"The first thing that might throw you for a loop, even before you walk into the store on your first trip to Aldi, is that all the carts are chained together outside the store, and you'll need a quarter to unlock them. However, the good news is that you'll get that quarter back when you're finished, as long as you return the cart and rechain it as you found it."
Aldi uses a quarter-based cart deposit system to encourage customers to return carts, rewarding returns with the quarter back. Shoppers should know basic store etiquette, which items are fair game, and how to make checkout easier for cashiers. Timing visits strategically helps secure the best deals. Bringing a quarter every trip is essential, and shoppers can help others by paying it forward for those who forget. Learning these unwritten rules lets shoppers navigate Aldi efficiently, take advantage of savings, and shop with confidence from their first visit.
