4. Carter Lane, Shirebrook
4.4 out of 5 with 666 reviews
One shopper said: "Decent Aldi in Shirebrook. Best time to go is Sunday all shelves are fully stocked but can be a bit of a nightmare as its usually rammed."

6. Nottingham Road, Bingham
4.4 out of 5 with 424 reveiws
One person said: "Great place to go for shopping very cheap but you need to go before 3pm on a Sunday most shelves are empty."
Another said: "Good selection and reasonable prices. Aisles are wider than a lot of the usual supermarkets so easier to get round."
7. The Glasshouse, Nottingham
4.3 out of 5 with 852 reviews
One shopper said: "Great to have an Aldi in the city centre. Especially for baby essentials. Standard customer service. Easy to get to, just outside the back of the shopping centre."
Another said: "It's one of the smaller Aldi's in Nottingham but it's perfect for home essentials like tea, coffee and tinned goods. They have a good selection of fridge and frozen food. It does get very very busy as it's in a popular location but you get your parking reimbursed should you spend over a certain amount in store."

4.3 out of 5 with 851 reviews
One shopper commented: "Busy store most days the staff always friendly with a smile, they ask a question always try to help me personally."

9. Woodborough Road, Mapperley
4.3 out of 5 with 836 views
One shopper posted: "I like Aldi but sometimes I get mad when I've bought something and enjoyed it, then I go for it again and it's not there. I love the fresh meat department. The flowers are always nice and seem to last a good while."
Another said: "A good variety of foods and goods on offer. Long queues nearly every time I visit which is a big put off. It'd due to staff shortage they say, So! Employ more staff."
10. Northgate, Newark
