When is best time to shop in Aldi?

[Barbaraanne22]

I usually use a supermarket near home, but have discovered there is an Aldi not too far from work. Popped in midweek a few weeks ago and liked it. But last night, just as I was pleased that car park wasn't very full and store was fairly quiet, I realised shelf stock was really low. I only came away with only half my list. So when is the best time to go for full shelves and the best freshness of fruit and vegetables please?

At my local one it's midweek, first thing in the morning. I've not noticed shelves running empty ever, maybe it's store dependent. But the car park is a ballache. There is a queue to get in for most of the day. I don't even attempt weekend shops. I'm sure it's their business model to have too small car parks so its a competition to get in.

Thanks. They were filling shelves, but the crates were blocking aisles as they did it and staff seemed pretty oblivious they were causing a jam as they chatted, which didn't impress me either. The place looked messy with empty and torn boxes on shelves, but I suppose 7.30pm on a Friday night when everyone has just finished their shop for the weekend isn't really the best time.
