Aldi is so much better than Walmart, Target, Whole Foods, and most local grocery chains. The price difference is sometimes staggering. Their house brands are surprisingly good quality. The clerks check you out at an astonishing speed compared to say Walmart (10, 15, even 20 minute waits there before I stopped going years ago.). And the rotating special stock makes the shopping chore interesting.
The only negatives are the fresh produce and meats. In both cases, there's not enough variety and they spoil faster than most other stores. As long as you shop at least once a week and don't buy out ahead of that, it's not too big of a problem.
Some people get bent out of shape bagging their own groceries or returning their own cart, but as those savings allow their prices to be cheaper, I'll gladly make that exchange. Waiting on bagging is also why other stores have such slow lines. Time is money too to most of us.
All you need is an empty building, a big chunk of money for refrigeration, and then you're left with buying shelving, registers, carts, an initial inventory, and starting payroll. If that costs $14 million for one store, you might be a communist.
Back in Collage 2000, I did a paper on all the chemicals that are in our beauty products. That's what got me looking at labels, SCARY when you start thinking about it but all the organic stuff is all jacked up too. Only safe thing is can your own food....
I am a label reader and have been for many years. I went to our local Aldi one time and couldn't find one item that wasn't poison. I spend way too much on organic and non-gmo but do my best to feed me and my lovely wife healthy food.

Aldi would be a lot cheaper and save people money.
Aldi is bio-engineer food, Poison food, gets into your DNA in forever chemicals, making you sterile.
Source please or this is opinion. A twenty year old YT videos with 36 views is not a source.
Look at the labels on the cans.. It says bio-engineer on ALL their food. Has BHT. BHT is banned over seas causes birth defects. https://dailytelegraph.co.nz/world/viral-video-shows-aldi-supermarket-stock-full-of-bioengineered-fake-food/

Thank you for making this point! I caution people about shopping there!
