No Aldi near me.No Trader Joe's near me, either. :bomb:
funny you should say that; they're actually related companies. google the connection. i go to Aldi's once a week; Trader Joes once a month. there are some TJ products that are repackaged and sold at Aldi for even less. this is particularly true in the breakfast cereal department.
Aldi has the best prices on milk, currently between $1.49 - $1.69 gallon. other items i regularly buy are Fit & Active popcorn, frozen 3 berry mix, turkey meatballs, and ice cream, frozen pineapple chunks, frozen stir fry products, chicken pot pies, yogurt, , butter, spaghetti, spaghetti sauce, salsa, some rice mixes, some of their Asia Specialties noodle products, baby carrots, broccoli, baked beans, green peas, and apples.
when my neighborhood Aldi opened last year i scored a George Foreman G5 grill for $49; it sells elsewhere for $99+.
cbelt3 employs the same Aldi survival tricks i use!
if Aldi carries staples that you can use/need shopping there can save you money. the added plus of the shopping cart bounty is that there are no carts in the parking lot just waiting to ding the side of your car.
