ALDI
What the heck happened to this place? When I was growing up, ALDI was the place where poor people went to purchase poor-people food.
Now, ALDI is the place where just about everyone goes to get high-quality groceries for reasonable prices. It's crazy. I'm not even sure the uber poor shop there any longer. Everything is organic and the meats and cheeses are outstanding. Hell, they don't even sell bologna. How did such a massive transition occur? |

I hate it. They just opened one up near me, but I'll go to HEB til I die vs this place.
First of all you have to pay for carts with quarters. I don't trust their generics compared to HEB (Texas's equivalent to Hy-Vee, no affiliation). They have knock off beer... knock off Samuel Adams and Shiner Bock...wtf. Just not my thing. |

Every time that I go in one it seems closer and closer to a regular grocery store

That's pretty much their aim.
Other retailers caught on to how much money Walmart was making off the grocery side and they want a piece of it. It's why Amazon bought out Whole Foods and Aldi's is trying to go bigger. |

Usually your best bet is to find the fine print to see where it's packaged or bottled. [Just a ferinstance totally made up out of thin air but illustrative, but if you see a 'generic' soda that is 'bottled in Atlanta GA,' it's a good bet that the Coca Cola Corp is involved somewhere]

I remember buying some Garlic Parm wing sauce the list time I went to an Aldi's.
It smelled weird and looked like a disease. I did not use the sauce. |
