I was in a long check out line yesterday because only one person was working. Someone behind me asked the cashier if she had any help and she said, "just my manager but she's in the back working on something else." The person behind me said, "God Bless you for working because nobody else seems to want to. We've got that idiot, Biden in office so now I have to buy my groceries here to afford to eat. We need Trump back and everyone's afraid to say it. Well, I'm not afraid, I'm saying it to you all!"

Huge Aldi fan - do MOST of my groceries at Aldi and supplement what I can't get at Publix or Kroger, but I hate most of the Kroger around me. Very rarely do I shop Walmart. I do strategically shop sales and BOGO's for the items I know I can't get at Aldi and stock up enough for the sale cycle. I also use Fetch for the receipt points - and have enough points for about $120 in gift cards that I'll redeem closer to Christmas to use for my Christmas shopping, so I always check what is giving extra points.
No Kroger here any more but there used to be one in our little city about 50 miles away. It has horribly expensive so I never shopped there. This is a rural area with a few little towns, some of those have stores. Food Lion sold off most of their stores, a Save-a-Lot moved into two but they closed quickly. Some of the towns have a Dollar General and that's all for groceries.
And much of Walmart meat is from China!
Seriously. Those people eat bats and dogs. Barf.
Holy smokes, do you have sauce to back that up? That's friggin horrible to even consider.
Look at Smithfield. They are in VA, but China bought them several years ago. They actually have a ton of brands you probably recognize. I don't have my original research links, but I looked into this a few years ago. Here are the brands I found that were owned by Smithfield (now owned by the Chinese):
American Farms
Armour
Berlinki
Carando
Circle U
Cook's
Cracker Barrel
Cumberland Gap
Curly's
Eckrich
El Mino
Farmer John
Farmland
Gwaltney
Healthy Ones
John Morrell
Krakus
Kretschmar
Margherita
Morliny
Nathan's Famous
Pure Farmland
Smithfield
You can research it yourself but they do a good job of hiding all of the brands.
Tell me about it! I'm a Virginian with a mother from ham, peanut and tobacco heaven Southside Virginia. That said, I don't see anywhere that says their hogs or any other products are produced in China. Apparently some in Romania and Britain but most in the US. If you want to be sure, get a ham marked as a genuine Smithfield ham. Virginia law requires they be produced in Smithfield VA. It's a country ham, which we love but some people find too strong and salty.
Thank you for this info. I will dig around but is yet another reason to buy local. Affording it, however, is another thing.
These darned rose-colored glasses still have me shaking my head at how any foreign country is allowed to own anything in another country.
Just from reading the labels on the meat packages.
