ALDI

My hometown, go-to grocer! I’ve been shopping here consistently since 2019, and while the employees rotate (like any retail store) and quantities fluctuate (when Clemson is in session vs Summer), this is by far my favorite Aldi in the region.

I have two favorite employees at this store - consistently pleasant, helpful, and hard-working. One young gal tends to be on register and the other on the floor (Sandy).

Keep in mind this is the student’s main store AND where visitors for football or other special events go. So it gets busy, inventory flies out, and keeping it stocked is a full time battle. Those of us who have worked retail know the struggle!

They always have several outstanding speciality items for decent prices: charcuterie, holiday, party, international, special diet (GF, vegan, nut free), and home goods you never knew you needed. (See below for fun seasonal stuff gifts or decor!)

Best of Aldi = Dairy, Cheese, Eggs, usually produce (but you do have to check!), off brand wine, pet food, cured meat, snacks, sales, and more.

Skip Aldi for = Meat, speciality or wide selection of produce, Deli, name brand breakfast, specific snacks or frozen items. (If you HAVE to have a particular brand, go to Publix or Food Lion.)

If you need special diet items, check out Ingles!

This location changed my opinion of Aldi. The prices on most goods are significantly cheaper than any other stores in the area. There's also a good amount of rotating products that keeps grocery shopping exciting. Only downside is that the fruit/veg section isn't the freshest so I usually buy elsewhere. Employees have always been really nice as well, particularly Skylar. Just be respectful of their time and leave when the store closes.

It's simply the best..love going every week to see the new finds.

Favorite Aldi location in the area. Well kept and stock is replenished often. One tip would be to go earlier in the morning if your going on a weekend to have a better chance of them having a sale item available.

Love Aldi. The workers are always so nice and the prices can't be beat.

Love Aldi! My money goes much farther here

Great value. Wonderful items like robes, shoes and PJs.

The workers are friendly and the prices are unbeatable! I can find everything I need there and I love the specialty items they bring in.

I like this store. I wish there was another closer to Pickens. The meat is too high, I go to other stores for meat. It used to not be so high but it has gone up, like everything else in this inflation economy. The people were nice and friendly and the store was clean and organized.

It's where I get my fruits and vegetables.

The employees at this location are always friendly and helpful. On my most recent visit I accidentally grabbed a box of decaf coffee and two of the employees helped me get my regular coffee without me even having to get out of line. The selection is large and the Aldi Finds section has some great options! This location is always very clean and orderly.

Great employees, only wish they'd be quicker to open a second register, and not wait for the customers to start making noise. However, this seems to be the case at EVERY Aldi!!! Out of stocks seem to be growing daily, but still like this place!

There are not massive variety, but what they have is usually above average quality, even the fruit and vegetables. Lines may occasionally be long, but move fast. Bring your own bags, or grab an empty box from the shelves. This helps keep the prices so reasonable

Love their meat and fresh produce! Aldi has a great selection of cheese and breads that is not found in your local stores. Also the Weekly Finds are an added plus!

My wife and I enjoy Aldi's. The prices are great. I was stationed in England for 3 1/2 years, and can find things I would eat there.

Evita was absolutely amazing and super sweet. She was very helpful in letting me know where I can find the item I needed. When I am back in town I will definitely come and visit this Aldi location.

I love this store! But today was a game day and nearly everyone going to the game decided to use Aldi's parking lot! I could bearly find a spot to park! Not a happy camper...

This is a wonderful edition to the Clemson area! The store is big, bright & beautiful! It is in the new Hartwell Village shopping center, but sits off to the side, so it has a huge parking lot all to itself. I simply love Aldi's and I know you will too!

Aldi helps this struggling college student afford nutritious food for a reasonable price. The staff are also extremely friendly. An all around great place to shop that I am proud to support!

Shopping at Aldi is always a fun adventure for me because I never know what I'll find for sale, besides the regular snacks and dairy staples. It's not your usual grocery store. For starters, to get a cart, you need to insert a quarter into a slot on the cart handle to release it from its chain, but you'll get your quarter back if you return it and reattach the chain by pushing the quarter back out. The store is small compared to most supermarkets, but offers home goods and sometimes plants. You won't see 400 varieties of the same product, and if you are the kind of shopper who only buys familiar brands, it may be difficult for you, but I can't remember trying anything I didn't like. They do have some "name brands," but that's not really the norm. I often see that the prices are less than other stores' sale prices. When fruits and vegetables are in season, they probably have the best price, but I feel if you're in need of something specific, they may not have it. Today, I got cantaloupe, watermelon, grapes and a banana.
