People That Complain About Food Prices

[AJ]

Yet are too good to shop at places like Aldi's.

Grab a damn quarter and a couple plastic sacks and quit [expletive] and moaning to me.

I don't mind picking up some things at Aldi's, Walmart Supercenter, or Shop N' Save but when it comes to lunch meat, steaks or hamburger, or fruits and veggies I steer clear. They just don't have the quality compared to the other higher end grocery stores.

++ on what Cardinalkarp said. I'll definitely pay more for better quality meat, fruits and veggies....but I'm sure I also gripe to my friends and neighbors about the price increase on some of the items.

The only time I complain about food prices is at the high-end grocery store near my office, that I sometimes try to grab lunch at. It only angers me because I could get the same exact thing at Schnuck's for 10-20% cheaper if I wanted to get in my truck and drive. The convenience is nice, but it irks me to pay a premium just becuase of the store that's closer to me.

We don't pay enough for food in this country. You shouldn't pay a premium for the same old crap dressed up in fancy packaging but you should definitely pay more to a local farmer for his or her stewardship of the land and agricultural expertise. Plus, the food is better for you. Americans spend less in real dollars for their food than any ppl in history.

Your notion of how we should pay more for food would carry more weight if it wasn't accompanied by a crapping Pilsbury Dough Boy.

Just sayin'.

Spent $76 at Aldi's yesterday. That's a record for me at Aldi's. And I shop there because of the great tasting food, more than the great prices.

Their .99 spaghetti sauce is the best. Their brand of Wheat Chex and Raisin Bran are similar to the way those name brands used to taste and are better than the current offerings. Their Chicken Pot Pies ($1.25) are better than any I've tasted. Tortilla chips for .99 taste better to me than Tostitos. Strawberry jam...best I've ever had. Good bread. Great chicken breasts. Whole chickens for what, $3?

And I don't know about any other Aldi's but the two that I frequent have, by far, the nicest checkout people I've ever dealt with.

They just opened a brand new one by my house.

I need to go grocery shopping with Richie Allen. You really sound like you seize the day while walking through the aisles.

I have never even tried shopping at an Aldi's. Maybe I should.
