Don’t know about anyone else but I no longer shop at regular supermarkets for most of my food. It’s mostly Aldi and home prepared meals for us now. We are pretty well off financially but I refuse to pay outrageous amounts for big brand products any longer. I’d rather save the money and use it on a nice family vacation.
I've been an Aldi shopper for maybe 6 years and I remember being able to fill my cart for $60-70. Post-covid, I'm paying double that. They're still comparatively cheaper for a number of things, but the price increases have hit everything, unfortunately.
Aldi’s decision to change all of the lanes to self checkouts at the stores around me has really turned me off. I thought they would be one of the last bastions against self checkouts. The workers there were well paid and happy. I don’t really know where to shop for groceries with a conscience anymore.
I agree. I make it a point to only use the attended checkout when I go.
I swear Adli is making me sick, they don't make normal water bottles as their ingredients for it is not normal. They even have the "materials added for taste". No water bottle say that. Cereal really is coming in to be unhealthy, as I soon as I eat one box within a few days, my body won't accept anymore. There is the meat that you buy in box, I hate those things. I know it won't protect the meat, the whole thing is blocking cool air into the meat. There was never a reason to put them in the box, waste of plastic.
After like slowly getting away from Aldi, I just knew it has to be it. Only Aldi foods makes me sick, not Walmart, Target or Winn Dixie.
I think Walmart has better deals than Aldi.
Most of the food at Aldi is close to expiring, too.
But then you have to go to Walmart. The only I store I have had a homeless person come up to me and beg for change IN THE STORE was Walmart. Aldi or Lidl are infinitely better in my mind.
Sorry Walmart isn't good enough for you because a homeless person asked you for change.
Glad you have the excess wealth to choose where you shop.
I was just in there for oil and a filter to change my cars oil, largely because it was cheaper than going somewhere and was I broke at the time. I've shopped at Aldi for years mostly because their food is much cheaper for comparable items, and despite being to several that were very sketchy, I've never had someone walk up to me and beg in a store. Parking lots are a different matter, but in pretty much every Walmart I've been to over the last couple of years (again, I basically try to not now that I can afford it), the amount of not giving a fuck by everyone involved is kind of extreme. And the prices aren't even that great now either.
