Aldi shoppers?

[ufdale]

wow I didn't know Aldi was in the US. They're all over Europe and they're pretty nice there.
As for them coming to Florida, I love publix and doubt I would shop someplace else. Are they coming to Gainesville?

When I was in undergrad, I didn't have a choice so I had to get groceries there. I remember I had to pay a quarter to use the shopping cart, but if I brought the cart back, I would get the quarter back. I remember bringing that cart back everytime. The food wasn't that bad though.

I go to Aldi for staples and pick up whatever else they have that I want while I'm there. Then go to a larger store for the rest of my grocery list.

Or at least that's my ideal. Sometimes I'm just lazy.

We have them, and if you don't mind off brands or not having shopping bags (you use their boxes, or bring your own bags), it's usually good. I've bought some of their products - most are good, but there have been a few nasties. I always bring my own canvas bags/tote bags (but I do that at all stores).

I don't shop at Aldi. I've heard too many horror stories about how poorly they treat their employees and, well, ew.

If you aren't poor, you have no business near an Aldi. That's just being to damn cheap. How come I know someone who bought a bedroom set (minus the bed) for 150$. Since when they sell furniture there?

Did once. First time and last.

Oh, no change to get a damn cart, did not know had to have your own sack or bag.

Selection was very small for what I was looking for.

I hate making multi stops and wasting gas to go cheap!

Aldi's is kind of like Save-A-Lot (for those of you in the midwest). They keep their prices low by limiting their selection and not providing you with bags.
