Oopsie. The one and only time I went to Aldi, the quarter was not redeemed upon my checkout...perhaps that’s b/c it was early-on in their existence here. I’m not sure.
I love Aldi’s for my family of 8. Because there are fewer choices, I’m able to get in and out quickly. I shop there first and then make quick runs into bigger stores like Hy Vee or Sam’s for bulk items or specialty needs.
Aldi’s is very inexpensive. I make almost everything from scratch and think their produce is pretty decent so being able to buy the staples there is definitely a good plan for us. My time is valuable so I don’t want to spend hours going up and down 25 aisles at the bigger markets.
Having said all that, every once in awhile I will go to the bigger stores for the sake of convenience and location. It always feels like Christmas. So many products. So many choices! I am horrible when I go in there and come out with a million items that weren’t on my list. Especially the fancy coffee creamers! :0)
