ALDI just rolled out its newly redesigned logo as of October 2017 (pictured above). What do you guys think? To me, it kind of looks like a cross between an airline logo and the Atari logo… I’m not sure I’m feeling it, but maybe that’s just me. Let’s take a quick vote in comments, just for fun. Choose:
- I like the new ALDI logo!
- I preferred the old ALDI logo.
Take a minute and let us know your opinion — I’m curious. 🙂
And before you go to ALDI this week, who needs one of these cute & handy
ALDI quarter keepers?! Lots of options here…
Read on for more ALDI news this week, including a little ALDI Romanian Cave Cheese review. (It’s a special buy this week and I couldn’t resist!)
ALDI Finds
Since my normal ALDI is closed for remodeling until mid-November, I visited a different, already-remodeled store yesterday, and must say it’s quite lovely — bright, wide aisles, more logically organized. (It took me forever because I couldn’t find a darn thing and everything was rearranged, but I think it will make more shopping sense once I’m used to it.) Ooh, and they had mini-naan! Tiny naan pizzas, here I come…
And apparently the Villa Park ALDI I visited on Wednesday actually held its grand re-opening today, so I missed it: Oh well. 🙁
But what did I find? Check out this Transylvanian Romanian Cave Cheese, advertised as a special buy in this week’s ad. With this kind of packaging, how could I not impulse buy it? And apparently cave cheese is a thing… who knew? I’m constantly educated by ALDI, lol.
A super-mini Romanian Cave Cheese from ALDI review
So, we quickly broke into the Romanian Cave Cheese. The verdict? It’s good! It’s kind of like a cross between Asiago and Parmesan, although a little softer than Parmesan. It’s salty, and it’s strong, and a little bit goes a long way. I’d suggest pairing the Romanian Cave Cheese with honeycrisp apples, including it as part of a larger cheese tray to contrast with milder and softer cheeses, or using it in cooking.
Yum — Mr. 10 was also a huge fan, but he’ll eat whole chunks of Parmesan if you don’t watch him…
ALDI Sunday hours
In addition to a new logo, my local ALDI ads this week in the Chicago area also announced new Sunday hours: Stores will now be open until 8PM. Check your own local ads to see if your store is extending Sunday hours as well.

Both logos are kind of boring but I will shop Aldi no matter what the logo looks like. :)

I like the old logo, but I'm sure I will get used to the new one. Seeing the Aldi logo while travelling is always a joy. Kind of like finding an old friend!

I liked the old logo better!

I went to the remodeled VP ALDI on Tuesday. It was a prettier store but like you, I will have to get used to where things are now placed in the store. They also reconfigured the parking (which I’m not a fan of....yet).
