Our grocery bill is the only one where I feel we could really save a ton... Aldi is basically half price.... what's the scoop on the place ?

It's a store from Europe. Everything is cheap as shite but all they have is their own brands. No name brands. Some of the stuff is good and some isn't. You also have to bring your own bags and rent a cart for a quarter. They have a bunch around Dallas.

There are no Aldis in LA, but yeah, I'm familiar with them. When I visit my folks, we usually do I shop at Aldi which makes me wish I have access to one. Great value. They do get sneaky though by making their brands look just like National brands.

For instance:

Aldi's

They have them all over Atlanta ... and my wife and I love it. Haven't had an issue with any product we've bought there. We actually think some of their products are better.

And they do actually have some name brands ... just few. They have Coca-Cola ... Welch's ... etc.

It's the same as a Sav-A-Lot, but the store is clean and neat, and they have products that are worth a damn.

We shop almost exclusively at Aldi for canned goods, dry goods and dairy. Actually for pretty much everything besides meat and soda/tea. We are a red diamond/Pepsi product household, and I only do meat at Publix, sometimes winndixie and our tiny local grocer Foodland that still has an I house butcher-great meat at great prices. Aldi is barebones, if you are a brand whore it's not for you, and no coupons. However, their store brand is usually better than most name brands, and it's dirt cheap. Very cheap yet great produce also. Stores tend to be small and sparsely manned but checkout is extremely quick. Debit or cash only to cut cost
