My poor neighborhood has an ALDI and a Bottom Dollar. Major supermarket chains don’t do well here, so bargain stores make more sense.
I shop at both the major chains and at Bottom Dollar. The latter is particularly good for the usually high price groceries such as paper products and laundry detergents. The savings I get on these big ticket items means more money for some luxury foods from the major chains.
I like the fact that when you go into Bottom Dollar, the music they are playing is like your radio dial stuck on 1975.
Before they came to town we had some run-down dirty Foodland stores that were every bit as bad as the meth-addict store an AQ posted above.
