So, Aldi's

[my-thyme]

Went shopping there for the first time today. No cream at Giant's, so scooted up there to see if they had any.

They sure did. So, I browsed the whole store. Grabbed a piece of salmon for dinner, some fancy crackers for Thanksgiving. Lots of interesting stuff, I will go back.

And, I ran into a forumite and got a big hug. Good to see you, Sneakers!

Only gripe is the long lines and never more than 2 registers open. I often pop in and just grab a few things that fit in 1 bag and would have really liked a self-checkout option to cut my time in store in half.

A few years ago, Aldi's used to sell a set of woodworking chisels for like $%. It was a running gag on the woodworking forums about buying them. So, I caved in a bought a set. Actually, not bad. A big hit from the aisle of shame.

I wasn't aware they have been around that long.

I think they started business in the US in the late 70's.

Never heard of them until they built here. Not even in all my years in California.

I think they launched in Iowa and Nebraska.

I wish I could buy another set. They are incredible if properly sharpened. Hold their edge well.

They used to be low rent, like #2 can foods and cheap generic products. Times change.
When we moved to Indiana in 93 Anderson IN had one.
