You will need a quarter if you want to use a shopping cart while you are at ALDI, and trust me when I say, you will want a shopping cart.  You also need to bring your own bags.  They do offer bags for a few cents each if you want to purchase some while you are there.  You also will need bagging skills, as you will need to pull your cart over to the bagging counter and bag your grocery after you have checked out.  For more information on ALDI, visit there homepage.
