I’m sure 99% of the DUmmies won’t shop at either of those places: Sam’s Club is owned by Wal-Mart, which is an EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEVILLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!! corporation (i.e., won’t kowtow to the unions), and Aldi is beneath them.
My folks (yes, I do live with my parents, but I do work as a professional, contribute to the household budget and don’t live in the basement) shop at SC when it’s major grocery purchases (rice {cultural staple}, oil, eggs, etc.) and Aldi and the nearby Schnuck’s (STLer) for repetitive purchases (bread, milk, canned foods, etc.). Sometimes we do go to a Latin or general ethnic store for products from the old country, but that’s about it.
These morons refuse to shop anywhere other than the Whole Foods Market or Trader Joe’s, and that’s the reason they’re paying half a paycheck for a cantaloupe. Political statement, and everything.

I should have clairified this.
Contributing to the household budget means that you are not living with your parents, it means you are renting a room. Did it for years, even took on the electric bill myself when times got tough.
If you contribute, you are not who I am speaking of.
I’m with your parents.
