We have a Aldi's about a half hr away, go there often.
They are a German company, but IMHO more U.S. patriotic than US companies, they observe all our holidays, workers have all holidays off. They also pay a lot better than anywhere else in that business.
You have to buy your own bags and bag your own, but we've found it much easier to just take the cart back to our vehicle and fill up plastic totes, carry the totes in the house when we get home.

I'm with you there we use our own bags then wash them after being used.So pay for the bags do you pay for the cart to we went to a store like that years ago can't remember the name but it was a quarter for the cart

There is an Aldi about 30 miles from us.
Aldi is interesting to me. They seem to concentrate on keeping "fresh " prices low (egg,dairy, produce). It's forced some local competition (a Wal-Mart supercenter) to lower prices.

That's a good thing Walmart needs competition

I think they are loaners. Best kind, free labor and you don't have to put up with them daily or pay for college

I also know people that should not be getting it that do get it and people that should be getting it that can't get it. It's messed up!
I did not have any back pay coming to me. But I did need it and got it.
I have about 20 pills I have to take a day and one of those cost's over 100.00 per pill per day. We would never be able to afford that to for me to stay alive.

OMG I'm so sorry that's alot of meds hope you feel better soon

No, we have four. The oldest is Lucy. She is 14 now. Almost 100% deaf. There are some tones she hears but we have taught her hand commands so she knows what we are saying to her. Then Dingo who is 10 and has DM. Youngest are brother and sister, Buck and Spot. We think they are border collie crosses Spot has Jack Russell terrier in her and bubba Buck has hound in him possibly Walker Coon Hound. Somebody said they looked like Springer crosses but the hair is off. They both naturally go into the Border Collie squat and stare and Buck will stare at the chickens for hours without moving. They are 5 years old. Yes, their mom was a party animal.

Heat advisory for today and tomorrow here. 95 today with heat index at 100 right now. We are in for the rest of the day.

Aww that's so sweet

One example of a seasonal item I love and wish we could get year around (and I went on the ALDI website to request it) is the Emmentaler cheese bites. They are only available in November and December. We buy all we see when in stock and ration them. They never last long.

...I'm only saying this here since none of you live near enough "my" ALDI and to "poach" my supplies If you have an ALDI near you, check them out.

Definitely I'll keep this in mind
