    The germans come up with another great idea.

    Or so it seems.
    Aldi.
    Anyone else been in one? I just saw an expose on the news here in Atlanta. They are popping up everywhere, and I was intrigued to find out that the average household income shopping there is @ 60k a year. They don't take food stamps or credit cards, you pay for your cart and bags. You bag your own groceries, and the brands are mostly "off" brands.
    I am going to go to one tomorrow to see what it's like.
    Yours truly,
    Rich

          Aldi's? We have a few around this area, they sell a few brands that you'd find in Wal-mart and similar stores. There a good place for buying party stuff, i.e. chips and what not. But like any store shop around cause they may not have the best deals.

          Oh and if you need a job, they pay pretty decent too.

              We've had Aldi's around here forever. :???:

              For at least 20 years. Germans must not like Georgia.

                When i lived in Decatur,IL. They had two there. IIRC they did have some brand name foods in there. Wasn't a bad place to go into, was allways clean and organized, and ofcoarse you got good prices on some of the food in there.
