First trip to Aldi. It's like being in an uncanny valley supermarket.

I ended up walking up and down the aisles for a while.

Was really cheap for the stuff I need. So score!

Now it's time for my monthly uber eats. I think a hsp would go down a treat.

I think part of it is they don't play any music. It makes sense as they don't need to pay royalties then. And their checkout people get to sit in chairs so they don't need to take breaks.

Once you realise everything about Aldi is doing things as cheaply as possible it all starts to make sense

Not having music was kind of nice tbh.

If you're a coffee person, ALDI beans are the best value for money out there.

I have to stay away from the European biscuits section.
