I bet they’re smart enough to stay out of Baltimore and Ferguson.
My first choice in grocery stores, generally the best values around.
And Cleveland and Detroit and Chicago and etc.
In fact, you can write off just about any city where the RATS have ruled for the last 20 years.
I purchase about 90% of my groceries from Aldi and the rest from HEB and Kroger. I can’t beat their house brands and produce for price and quality.
I am retired and cook from scratch so most of what I buy are basic foods, cooking ingredients, and produce. I try to stay away from the prepared stuff as I am too tight to buy something already prepared. I do see the welfare crowd loading up on the frozen stuff, meats, and pastries and driving away in their new SUV’s. It must be nice, but I can prepare the same thing for half the price and it’s fresher.
I also find Auldi’s products aren’t as adulterated. I do avoid any meat products except the name brand frozen turkey patties and deli meats. BTW I have seen no horsemeat although I hear the French love the stuff.
Overall, I like Aldi and think you will too if the price and quality are not beyond your expectations. Aldi is NOT a high end store where they have thousands of high dollar items from which to choose. But it serves my needs. I don’t think the Beav’s mom would be found shopping there, but you never know.
BTW the only complaints I have is that the don’t stock my V-8 juice or equivalent and there are never enough Handicap parking spaces because the able-bodied welfare people with their new SUVs have taken them.
