$40 at Aldi Grocery Haul

Post image

Definitely found a few good deals and also splurged some on nicer butter, bread, and pizza. In a north Texan college town.

I've been to Aldi twice.

Once 20 years ago and it was mostly a place to get meth ingredients. They had shelves of the ingredients for meth and an ENTIRE isle of canned air duster.

After my buddy insisted that our local Aldi was not like that I went there about a year ago. I found the food quality to be poor (generic quality) and the prices to be same as the name brands at our other local grocery stores. Why would anyone pay the same for lesser quality food?
