[QUOTE="AppleCori, post: 712242, member: 16024"] I have lived in several states that had an Aldi (including currently) and I can tell you it is the cheapest place for groceries that I have been to. They don't stock name-brand items, only their store brand, but in most cases the quality is comparable, of the items I have bought. One thing don't think is as good as the name-brand is their fruit cocktail. That's all I can think of at this moment. I love their frozen veggies with teriyaki sauce. Around here, a bad costs about $3. I keep it on hand for emergency meals. I add some meat and it is an easy dinner when pressed for time. I have found the fresh produce to be good in most stores, and good quality. It is a discount, no-frills place. You need to bring your own bags or boxes to put your groceries in ( or you can purchase paper bags there at the check-out counter). You need to bring a quarter to put in the slot to unlock a cart. You get a quarter back when you put the cart away. They put the scanned items in a cart, and you bag them yourself. It is a very small store. About a decade ago, I lived in the Northeast and had access to a Wegmans. It is a huge store with a lot of exciting products, and their store brand is very good. You will love browsing there and trying new things. At the time I shopped at one, it was comparable in price to most major non-discount grocery chains. I recall the seafood being pretty fresh. They had a fresh sub sandwich shop in it which I think is better than most chain sub shops. It was always busy. I don't know if anything has changed since I have been in one. Basically, they are two diametrically opposed places, but both good for different things. [/QUOTE]
