I love Aldi! It’s an odd little store, but has some very unique items; and sometimes American things that we can never find in other stores in near driving distance. I especially love it at Christmas time, with all the pretty holiday candies.
I just started going to one near me. I now buy my milk there - the cashiers are all so much nicer than any in the area and they get things done quickly without fuss or pushing something on you. Can’t wait for Christmas. I do buy some of their German chocolate. And since I like to support a local food pantry, I often buy cheap items there and deliver it.
I love Aldi, too, but they just reopened one they made into a larger, more trendy type store, and they have raised a LOT of the prices, so I’m kinda miffed. They still have some good buys, but not sure if it’s worth driving 30 miles, unless I’m going that way, anyway. But the Sprouts Store is right across the street from them, and they have really good specials, plus they have a lot of exotic vegetables and ingredients that I can use in low carb cooking, that I can’t find in closer grocery stores.
