Essentials

This is the best Aldi that I've ever been to. Tons of organic options and always surprise finds. Don't forget a quarter to deposit on the cart, take a shopping bag, and only buy fruit and veggies if you'll eat them within a couple days.

Shopping

Swanky grocer with all the best sourced seafood, meats, breads, and cheeses. The sommelier is on hand to pick out a perfect wine for any budget or meal. There is a salad bar and hot bar similar to Whole Foods but way better. Best buy here is blue cheese crumbles, Michigan craft beers, and Zingerman's bread.
