My mom has recently retired, but my dad still works and she has become an Aldi's fan because she has the time to pick up the basics and can goods at Aldis then she going to local places for meats, cheeses, fruits and veggies. She believes in avoiding large chain stores when she can and this way she offsets the additional cost she is spending going to specality shops by saving money at Aldis. She feels like she is making a difference to the local economy and still manages to fill her days up instead of sitting at home.
