Aldis is just a grocery store. One can shop there, or not. It has nothing to do with who needs to get out of the county. In the present time, consumers want bargains, to try something new, or just explore. This thread is another example that some can turn an innocent thread into an argument. It is a freaking grocery store, y'all. Shop There Freely Unaffected.

And anyone who uses grocery shopping to feel superior should really get out of the county and accomplish something a little more impressive.
Well, to put things into prospective, he doesn't have much to make him feel good about himself. He is, after all, a quota that had to be met, IQ be damned, by a union...

Pretty sure that was sarcasm, like "good for you"
why can't you be off Friday. I finally have time to hit up Aldi's and I'm not sure I can navigate the parking lot or the cart system or the over-abundance of off-brand snack foods all by myself
I was applauding the fact that this was the first properly formatted sentence the twit has ever typed on here. He also gets a A+ in spelling, which has NEVER happened before. I would've used a comma to make it more reader friendly, but baby steps are better than none.

Don't forget to bring cash because they don't take credit cards.
But a real question:
Do you all really buy that much junk food that you'd make a special trip to Aldi's for the snackapalooza? Our snacking is such that we buy junk food on a whim, not as a regular keep it in the house practice.

I'm the same way, but Aldi's isn't all junk food :shrug: I've also been buying 90% store-brand groceries since I moved out on my own. I have no problem and haven't eaten many things that made me regret that decision. I'm on a fairly tight budget anyways and while I'm not obsessed with watching all the stores' weeklies, after looking through theirs and comparing my shopping list, it's worth the extra ONE mile from my usual stores to hit it up first and grab what I can.
I'm also talking about stuff like baking goods and onions and potatoes. I'll go to Giant for the good cheese but I don't give a #### if my cornstarch is off-off brand, and potatoes are potatoes. I don't shop for kids so worrying about them not liking the knock-off goldfish isn't on my radar right now.

They do however take debit cards, which is the same as my primary credit card (can be used as both).
I've ONLY used debit at Aldi's.

They do take debit cards, for those of us that don't need to put a stalk of celery on a payment plan.

I tend to think of my debit card AS a credit card only - because I hate being asked to type in my access code, and it more or less functions as a debit card anyway, so long as I choose the credit card option.
So when someone says "we don't take credit cards" I never think that debit cards might be accepted. I was pleasantly surprised.
Some of us pay our credit card bills every month and don't have anything on a payment plan. We think of credit cards as a convenience, not as a means to buy things we can't afford.
It's just easier that way, plus I get points to spend at Amazon.

You should have trademarked that. Now I'm buying knockoffgoldfish.com

Stopped by again today. Someone must have pissed off the parking lot design people because now there are those parking bumpers along the grass line where one could, instead of being blocked in, drive on the grass. Now you must back up if stuck. Also, in observance, I noticed that next to Aldis where the parking lot stops, is a lot. I believe that will be a continuation of the parking lot when another structure is built on that lot. Next time you stop by, look at it. It's all curbs, the whole lot, just waiting for asphalt to be laid down. Maybe a 7-11 will be built there, gas station?

I'm not the one who started a thread about a grocery store's parking lot .
True. But, you use any thread or post to snipe at members. You are like a bloodhound. It is rare that I have ever seen you post something of substance that contributes to a discussion of any topic. Also, watch your coffee intake. Just looking out for you.
