Aldi is the only one in my area, I think. (I’m in central Jersey.) I’m stuck with the terrible A&P and high end stores like Whole Foods, Trader Joes and Wegmans. My total downfall is “organic.” I don’t necessarily believe that it is, lol, but I do tend to go for it. But as someone else said, you are a total inspiration and I’m enjoying your posts.
Bottom Dollar has stores near Trenton and Food Basics has stores in Jersey just west of NYC.
