Already been on my boycott list for years now. Refuse to buy that nasty off brand foreign grocery garbage. Folks on here here seem to like it. I wasn’t impressed with no customer service, bags, and having to scout for shopping carts like deer. You folks can have that nasty European place.

i like it peronally. When u buy a bag of offbrand chips the bags actually almost full. cheap cokes for the kids too at the river house!

You realize most of the stuff is made in the same factories that produce all the stuff for other brands. There aren't that many production facilities across the US. The same place that makes pasta for 30 different brands just using different packaging. Same with cereal, drink mixes, flour, cake mixes, pop corn, and most processe items Sometimes the "high $ brands" will require different raw materials, but sometimes not.

But, I would take the European foods over the stuff in the US. They have much higher standards for quality and contaminants.

That’s why ours has so many preservatives. Those companies tool up for this product and then the next and so forth. I’ve been told that’s why European foods are better for you. Old world standards in production in smaller batches so the product are much fresher.
He compared it to going to the Amish and getting your food products.

Me and my Wife went to an Aldi once just to see what it is like. Once was enough for Us to see what is was like and not want to shop there again. Just a very odd grocery store and off brand products. Makes sense since it is based out of Germany.

The Pig is where it's at!

Never been in one

Some of have been doing that for most of our lives. If I don’t kill it, catch it, raise it, or butcher it myself, I have very trust worthy people that I get it from. I don’t like not knowing where Meat, seafood and veggies come from.

Only thing I like from Aldi is the Seedtastic bread!

This.

This thread is nuts. Aldi sells the same food all the other stores do. It's just a different business model. And it works better for the consumer. No bags means lower overhead and cheaper prices and more sales. Getting the customers to walk the carts back to the store instead of paying some idiot teenager to do it is genius. AND it saves the consumer money which means more sales. We have used the same $3 Aldi bags for a year now. And we leave the cart at the front and carry the bags or the car. It nearly cuts our grocery bill in half.

So far the best reason yall can come up with to not save money there is... it's weird. Oh and... they lowered prices when a democrat told them too. Makes a lot of sense.

Aldi needs to be liquidated and the funds should go to Republican voters. Just cause.
Democrats understand how that makes sense so they should be ok with it.

Long live Aldi. I've never had to dodge an abandoned shopping cart because folks are going to get that quarter back.

Same here. I might one day just to see what it's about but have no immediate plans to. I'm certainly not going out of my way to go in one and since the closest to me is Huntsville, I doubt it will be anytime soon for me.

That store absolutely sucks. It was awesome when they first came but then they jacked their prices up. This was before covid. Classic sales tactic.

I haven't wasted my time in there since. Low quality stuff at regular prices.

You mean like a 12yr old girl. That's more his type. No matter who's watching! And nothing is done about it. There's your sign.

X2...I'm gonna make it a point to go now and see what all the hub bub is about... and since its a German store.... I remember when I was a little kid living in germany they had pay toilets over there too.... We just climbed right under the walls and saved that 5 phenning and went...

It's just a store. A little different business model but it's still just a store. Nothing special really, just cheaper.

Its run by a socialist enterprise that is a full supporter of Biden, the Dems, and the Globalists. Aldi is just using us to further the single World government CBDC control grid mission of Satan. But their just a store. That store is setting up in Democrat areas and poor neighborhoods to replace the responsible stores that left. Its easy to move into the low rent district and feed large amounts of poor voters Democrat propaganda.

I think if you check the percentage of the grocery market in the US that Aldi controls this is a non issue.
