Aldi’s coin-deposit system requires a refundable quarter to unlock a shopping cart, encouraging customers to return carts themselves to keep parking lots tidy and reduce staffing costs.
If you forget a quarter, you can ask an employee for assistance, search your car and wallet for spare change, ask another shopper for an exchange, or use a hand basket for smaller trips.
To prevent future hassle, keep a spare coin stored in your vehicle, wallet, or reusable bags, or attach a compatible shopping cart token directly to your keychain.
When you finish shopping, reconnecting the cart to the stack automatically releases your quarter back to you, making the deposit completely free to use.
