I can't believe how Aldi is trying to Europeanize America! You have to pay a 50 cent euro for carts everywhere here, even Wal-Mart. I have a parkschein with plastic pieces in the back that are the same size as 50 cent euros just so I don't have to worry about change for the carts when I go shopping. As for Aldi, there is just down the road from my house here in Germany. I really only go to pick up something that I might not have on hand for a meal I'm making, kind of like a convenience store. The nearest commissary to me is 30 minutes away, and that's where I do most of my shopping. That ends up being cheaper than Aldi over here, with the exchange rate the way it is, anyway.
