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.

See, I feel like Save a lot is much more like a regular grocery store. Aldi is much smaller.

Question: Does the Save-A-Lot in your area require you to bag your own groceries, or is this just an OH thing?

Yes in the KC area they do, but at least they have a meat dept.

Yes, I did go there anly once as their selection was slim too.

They do here too, but they have bags unlike Aldi.

(Ok, Aldi has bags but you pay for them though they're really sturdy)
I felt that they had a much wider selection than an Aldi and at least in St. Louis had a nice "multicultural" foods section. Particularly candy! But I can do my whole grocery trip there unless I'm looking for something slightly weird. And they carry brand names which Aldi is kind of hit or miss on.

In WV it doesn't, but that only changed in recent years. When I was younger I remember having to bag them ourselves.
