Not knowing about awesome things

[Popeye_Card]

Why didn't anyone tell me, like, 10 years ago about how awesome Aldi is? Why did I have to finally find this out on a random GWRB thread?





Sidenote: During my GIS, I found this gem. Aldi, you never cease to amaze me.

And it's German owned, no less! I see them everywhere in Germany.....

Cheap grocery store.

But the food is surprisingly very good.

Do they sell the same stuff other grocery stores do? Like, brand-wise?

Or do they have a bunch of generic stuff? I'm not implying that generic stuff is bad, I'm just wondering.

Mostly generic stuff but it is decent quality.

It's a little bit of both. Most is generic, but they carry a decent amount of brand names--I'm guessing when they're overstocked on certain items. You can get Tyson chicken, etc.

The generic foods they have though are pretty good, and pretty cheap. For example, I got a 2 pound bag of frozen Chinese stir fry veggies for ~$1.50. Pretty tasty, and it's going to last me 3 meals with some rice.

Overall, I got a month's worth of food for ~$50. I usually spend over $100 at Schnucks. (Though typically that includes a 12-pack of beer.)

I don't remember what brand it was, but I bought this really awesome generic frozen pizza at Aldi's when I lived in St. Louis.

Popeye, go look for it.

Ok, I'm going to have to give this place a shot.

Some of thier stuff sucks but their spaghetti sauce is the best I have ever had anywhere and it's like a dollar a jar.
