When I first started shopping at Aldis The logical streamlined approach to a food market approach impressed me and the prices in comparison to other chains was awesome. I cook for myself always and purchase basics chicken breast/beef patties/ground sausage/sausage patties/Tuna all of the other items needed to create a nice meal such as condiments and pasta along with breads and dairy/eggs are there in a small LOGICAL layout. Checkout is always quick and I keep quarters in the van along with two thermal and one big AlDis totes/bags. You save a fortune and I hardly see a ratchet or teen in the store as opposed to large chains. No ratchet or teens is a huge attraction to me...as I age my patience for frontally lobed challenged people is in very short supply. I do all my shopping there and on average I spend at most 200 dollars a month on average which I find reasonable for this day and age.
“...The logical streamlined approach to a food market approach...”
Right there is the main reason we go to Aldi frequently. The Aldi store is in the same strip mall as a huge Meijer store sharing the same large footprint as the Walmart across the street. The parking in of itself at the big boxes along with huge inside layout just is not worth it most of the time. If one just wants to grab the basics like coffee cream, frozen veggies, some produce etc. there is no reason to go anywhere else.
I celebrate the free market and this is a good example.
“I spend at most 200 dollars a month on average which I find reasonable for this day and age.”
That’s impressive! Does that include paper products, and personal care?
