Trump: "How many pencils do you need?"

top 20% don't even know what aldi is. we are shopping at whole foods or even more expensive places, spending more on groceries in a week than the poor do in a month

wait until it's only 5% of earners.

The second part of your question answers the first part.

because social policies are driving up prices. the people are voting for this.

go to any town/neighborhood meeting and everyone will be against new housing, new taxes, and any development at all. it's all creating scarcity. USA is severely underdeveloped.

hence why prices go up.

Because both parties work for them. We need to change that, and make them fear us more than the Sociopathic Oligarchs.

Right now, they fear the Sociopathic Oligarchs' money. We need to make them fear our violence even more than that, then we can force them to confiscate those fortunes, and fund a government that works for the people, not the wealthy.

Here in the UK, we usually end up with Aldis and Lidls very near to each other. It makes sense, since they occupy the same kind of 'big warehouse locations in customer shopping estates', although it would be nice to have them a bit more spread out.

That does mean you can get the best of both very easily - Lidl for bread and cooked meat, Aldi for smoked mackerel and potato salad - and have two different 'middle of Lidl' selections of random goods. Absolute result..

I legit like Clancy’s brand of chips or cookies over the major brands for some reason. Their take and bake pizzas are huge for the price! I know my wife tends to save on some meats and things when she shops at Aldi. I’m a fan as well.

I have always believed that if you enter Aldi with a shopping list, you leave with groceries, but nothing checked off your list. You don't shop at Aldi for specific items, you shop at Aldi for deals.

Maybe if the old, demented, orange TACO didn't put outrageous tariff on every country there would be a better selection, ya think? Still, people voted for this. A third of the country would do it again tomorrow.

I don't know, seems like the middle class is just as susceptible to manipulation.

is it anything like the Target Canada Loss because i'm familiar with that one?

I hit Aldi first, get whatever I can get, and then go to Publix, which is more expensive, but they have great selection, and they have a lot of BOGOs. Saves me a ton of money.

Aldi isn't everything, but for what it is, it's great. Some of their products are as good or better than the name brands, and a LOT cheaper. Their mayo is exactly the same as Hellman's, and about $2 cheaper, their peanut butter is better than ANY name brand, and is less than $4. Strawberry jam is exactly the same as Smuckers, at about $2. Their kettle-cooked potato chips are the best on the shelves, and a bag is less than $2. Many of their brands are made in the same factory as big brands. It is suspected that their premium spaghetti sauce is the same as Rao's.

And watch the Aisle of Shame for greeting cards ($1 for cards that would be $10 from Hallmark), reading glasses (3 for $5), or sunglasses ($5), or lots of nice cooking gear. I grab stuff all year for Christmas presents.

Aldi saves me a bundle every week.

You go to Aldi for the staples to save a ton of money. Supplement elsewhere for other things. I used to live in Chicago and there was a Trader Joe's on top of an Aldi on the same building (same ownership in believe). It was glorious.

We finally got Aldis around here and I was so disappointed

Thats how I felt first time. Every time I mentioned food affordability, not here but just in general, the overwhelming response has almost always been to go to Aldi, as if it was some wonderland of below market prices...

But it wasnt. At best its prices were the same as walmart.. and thats at best. Walmart was typically lower in most things I typically buy.

And yes, yes, I know.. Walmart is evil, I dont have the economic luxury to pay twice as much for my groceries elsewhere.
