Most people I know felt the sting when the economy took a hit a few years ago and had to take a good, long look at their house-hold budgets and learn where the money was going and how they could cut costs.
I encourage you to check out any Aldi store, I know I did. I thought, “hey, I’ll check it out and see what they have.” To make a long story short, I at once included Aldi in my grocery shopping habits. Guys, they not only have great prices but very good and unique items too.
A favorite of mine is their “Fit & Active” brand – they carry many, many items such as string cheese, yogurt, granola bars, frozen dinners, etc. (You get the picture.) They also have flavored water that became a hit among my co-workers for a while. I’ve taken a few of my co-workers on field trips to Aldi before. Karen like’s their sweet pickles, Laureen and Joanna like the water. I’ve given Maribeth a granola bar to sample……
I was also introduced to the idea of using cloth shopping bags at Aldi – This makes me feel like I’m helping the environment too, not to mention it’s very convenient.
In addition, I learned at a recent ribbon cutting at their new store on Lima Road that their chocolate is very unique and is made in their own chocolate factory in Austria.
Aldi also has a pretty cool section of non-food items – that usually go with the seasons – Would you believe, I’ve done some birthday and Christmas shopping there. Yep, I’ve bought a deer blind for a family member that’s a deer hunter and I also bought a ping-pong set – my kitchen table was converted to a ping pong table last Christmas.
