This is the place to stop if you need a couple of items but don't want to do serious shopping. Most recent experience I had a full cart of groceries, easily over 250 worth.

Aldi is a great place to shop for specific things. Half the time the staples are sold out. The staff is always overworked and the check out lines are always long. It is a shame that we have to rent the shopping carts, even if it is just a quarter. It is a hassle. It...
