Anyone here shop at Aldi?

They do take debit cards here in Ohio. Great prices! I like them and Save-A-Lot.

I only set foot in Save-A-Lot when I am determined not to find 75% of the things on my grocery list.

If you shop Trader Joes, you shop Aldi.

We shop Aldi's a lot. There are some things that are just not good there, I don't
eat Mayonnaise but my wife says it's not good. Their garden peas are
as good LeSeur at 1/4 the price. Their Raisin Bran can't be beat, neither can
their Frosty Mini Wheats. Their bagged salad is very good. We normally buy
all our seasonal hams and turkeys there. I like their packaged deli
sliced meats and cheeses. Their bread doesn't keep for very long for some
reason except their Cinammon Raisin bread. We've never had a problem
with their fresh ground beef or the pork chops. I like their English Muffins
as good as Thomas's. I'm not crazy about their soups. Their Fit n' Active
yogurt and low calorie drinks are very good. Their produce is hit and miss,
sometimes the banana's are too green to ripen no matter what you try and other
times their just right. Not long ago they had fresh NC Blueberry's for $1/pint
people buying them by the case.

BTW: Our Save-a-lot has almost completely a Mexican specialty store
and I don't have anything against Mexicans but the store is dirty, stinks
and is unorganized.

OT: I wish I could get a decent nights sleep since my surgery.

A new Aldi store opened across from our SuperTarget and, since I have a Grand Opening coupon, I was going to check them out. I know you need to bring your own shopping bag, or buy one of theirs, and that you have to pay 25¢ to get a cart and then that is returned when you return the cart, but other than that, what should I know before I go?

The main thing that is putting me off about the store is that they apparently don't take credit cards. I pay for everything with a CC and don't really carry much cash, ever. They take debit cards, which I don't use, and they don't take checks, so if I want to shop there I will have to make a special effort to have cash, I guess.

I had to pay a 500 lira deposit to get a shopping cart at supermarkets in Italy in the late 80's. That was a lot more than a quarter. I wish ALL supermarkets would implement this.

People who steal and/or abandon their shopping carts in the middle of parking lots ... :villagers:

How would the homeless get by without borrowed shopping carts?
