$8:50/hr for cashiers. I’m glad I don’t work anymore.

[Abby4116]

That varies by location. Here they start at $11 an hour (existing store).

[2ndDivisionVet]

Actually it’s around $12-13 an hour starting pay at Aldi’s. Or were you referring to someone else?

[Vaquero]

No name merchandise. I personally don’t like it. I have friends who do.

Discount Grocer Aldi to Add About 900 Stores in U.S. Expansion (25,000+ jobs)

Whose tired of winning??

imported chocolate and cookies
yum

[NautiNurse]

Perhaps some of today's many unemployed students can find work as a cashier at Aldi's for $8.50/hr.

Why are so many students unemployed? Because of career workers at McDonalds, etc.

“imported chocolate and cookies”

And imported German black forest ham. Yummy! Damn mooslim snakes in Germany will probably wreck that import.

I have never been in an Aldis. When I lived overseas I shopped in Lidl quite a bit even though the natives turned their noses at it.

They had a brand called McKennedy which did Americanized foods that we liked--frozen pizza, chocolate chip cookies, frozen fries--basically crap food you yearn for when not in the US.

It was super cheap too.

I wish they would open one around here.

There are decent grocery stores but they tend to be on the high side.

The Walmart super center is reasonable on canned and boxed goods but their meat and produce are really expensive and the quality is nothing extra either.

Winn Dixie has a nice store and good meat but again pretty high prices.

I like my local Kroger (even though meat dept sucks) and I like Aldi’s. There are grocery deals to be had at WalMart, but I don’t get a weekly circular from them, so I don’t go there often.

I was excited about a Whole Foods store that opened over a year ago, but haven’t been there yet. I used to drive 70 miles to Whole Foods to buy their “fresh” fish, but now I’m satisfied with Aldi’s very inexpensive frozen fish (Chinese farm raised tilapia - yum)

Looking forward to a new Costco opening in a few months.

Food! Where would be without it?

[jonathan-swift2000]

$5 beer for a six pack cannot beat it!

No name merchandise. I personally don’t like it. I have friends who do.

Much of it is store-brand merchandise. Trader Joe's has a lot of store-brand stuff too, and it's top-rate. So does Costco, BJ's and many other stores. They contract with many of the same companies who produce the brand-name stuff.

Whose tired of winning??

Not me. The snowflakes and the MSM are going to look awfully stupid to the rest of the country after a few more months of this.

[Vaquero]

I am a costco member. I like their store brands. I don’t like Aldi’s store brands. I find them chincy

[Farmer Dean]

Just shop carefully.They import a lot of chocolate from Germany and Austria-very reasonably priced and very tasty.It’s hard to beat some of their chicken nd beef specials too.!.69 a pound for boneless skinless chicken breasts is hart to beat.

[Paladin2]

Whattbout Trader Jose’s?

[VeniVidiVici]

The Walmart super center is reasonable on canned and boxed goods but their meat and produce are really expensive and the quality is nothing extra either.

I've noticed that. Walmart meat is crap for the price.

My girlfriend brought home a box of "ribeyes" from Walmart the other day. On the back of the box it said "Mechanically tenderized". Oh, yum.

Aldi is the grocery store I prefer. Usually lowest prices in town, good produce & fruits, good meats, good cheeses, good spices.
