Washing Up
Wart - what's your problem? Several folks here have stated that their Aldi stores are very nice, which I'm not disputing. Ours, which is brand new, is horrible - regardless of the thickness of one's wallet. If it was a nice store, I'd have no problem shopping there.
It has absolutely nothing to do with "style" or my husband & I thinking we're better than anybody else or that we don't realize there are folks in dire circumstances in our community. In fact, that's why we contribute our time, money, & food to our local food pantry - YEAR-ROUND - not just at the holidays like most.
The Aldi store here isn't providing decent inexpensive groceries to low-income folks - they're offering garbage. Cheap knock-off junk food & crates of weird stuff that, as I said before, looks like government/dollar-store surplus stuff. And produce that could be bought just as cheaply, but 100% fresh & minus the fruit flies across the street at Wal-Mart (where we do 90% of our food shopping).
Again I say, Lord only knows why they opened this place up, because it's an insult to everyone - particularly those on a fixed income - & I'm hoping that they don't make out & close. Anyone in our area would do 100% better both price-wise & quality-wise across the street at Wal-Mart (regardless of how they feel about Wal-Mart politics).
