Has anyone ever shopped at Aldi?
DH and I are planning on going grocery shopping there tomorrow. But I was talking to some co-workers this morning and about 2 or 3 of them said that you have to put a quarter in a machine to get a buggy and you have to bring your own bags? Is that true? It's a load of bullcrap if it is.
Siggy coming soon....
Re: Has anyone ever shopped at Aldi?
I haven't but my son used to live close to one. He said their prices are REAL low so I guess it's just a no frills place where, if you are careful, you might save a lot of money. He didn't say anything about bags or buggies. Here's a link that might give more info.
ALDI - Grocery Selections
Yeah I've shopped there a couple of times when I have been in Decatur seeing my parents.
Yeah you do have to pay a quarter to get a buggy and yes you have to bring your own bags. But I will say they do have low prices on stuff.
Here's what I found on the website about it. I guess I feel a little better knowing the reason.
Why do I need a quarter to use a shopping cart at ALDI?
At ALDI, we cut costs every way we can to keep prices low. Our shopping cart deposit system is a good example. You insert a quarter to release a cart. When you return the cart, you get your quarter back. This system cuts down on the labor of collecting carts left in the parking lot, damage to cars, and we pass the savings on to you.
Why do you charge for shopping bags?
We don?t hide the cost of bags in our prices like other stores do. You can bring your own bags, or buy our paper, plastic, or insulated bags for a very nominal charge. Of course, we encourage you to reuse and recycle bags.
In addition to all of the "green" you save at ALDI, you'll be doing your part to save our planet by shopping here. Our smaller, energy-saving stores, recycled bags and cartons all contribute to conservation.
Loyal ALDI shoppers appreciate our simplified shopping process, and the pride they can feel by being responsible and forward-thinking consumers. You'll feel it too, when you start saving up to 50% on everyday needs and find that it is "easy being green."
ETA: The only reason why we want to shop there is because it is so cheap. So hopefully when I tell James this he'll understand, but we'll see. lol
It is a german-owned grocery chain.
All the european grocery stores are like this (or at least the ones in Norway are.) You get your quarter back in the end. Plus, you can always bring your own plastic bags if you want.
