The Best Produce In Illinois Is At This Rockford Grocery Store

Surprisingly, there's one grocery store in Illinois that has the best and most affordable produce section considering we live in an all-seasons state.

Growing up in a family of five, my parents always made sure we ate our fruits and vegetables so we would grow up to be strong and healthy adults!  All through my mom's pregnancy with me, she worked at Aldi in Rockford.  So, you know she was stocking up on some quality produce every week!

I do agree that the produce section might be small, but it's affordable and easy to find what you need when you walk into the store.

Honestly, Aldi deserves this high ranking because they're a one-stop-shop for everything you need; food, household needs, apparel, beauty supplies, the best wine, and the Aldi Finds aisle.
