Just got a leg of lamb from Aldi for $8/lb. Yummy. Seems Aldi is going down a certain path now though. Guess there's an Aldi in the UK where you can't even get in the door unless you have their app.
The grocer is operating a "trial" store in Greenwich, London, which allows customers to complete their shop and pay without going to a till.
Instead, customers can download the Aldi Shop&Go app, and will then be automatically charged for their purchases once they leave the store.
Aldi's new store follows similar moves by Tesco, Sainsbury's and Amazon.
The supermarket's new site will also allow customers to buy alcohol, using facial-age estimation technology, to check whether they appear to be over the age of 25.
People who cannot or choose not to use this system can have their age verified by a member of staff.
A series of hi-tech cameras will track customers as they do their shopping, and then bill them when they leave.
App only. High tech cameras watching your every move. No thanks.
I may end up only shopping for food at the local Amish place for produce and a local farmer for grass fed beef and pasture raised pork & poultry.
I'm also working on a high tunnel this weekend and will be able to grow something year round. Thinking about getting some hair sheep at some point so I can grow my own legs of lamb.
Farmers markets are the best place to get food.
We sell Lamb, chicken and pork.
You’ll pay more, for sure. But it’s the best quality, and most flavorful meat you’ll ever have.
