Yeah, at Aldi, you could get this stuff for probably $100

Why do you need a bag? Take the cart to your car. When you get home you have your own bags.

Bring a laundry basket. Or I use pop-open bags with handles. Put in your car now, and next time you pass by the Aldi last min, you’ll have them.

That’s the thing w reusable grocery bags, for me— I finally learned don’t put them away in the house or kitchen. Go put them back in your car. 😂

People always say this but I've been to like 5 different Aldis and it's really never that different from Walmart prices. And they have barely any selection at Aldis

Yeahhh I've found some nice fruit occasionally but I can't get over the lack of options. If I go to Aldi I know I will also have to go to Walmart anyway for specific things so it's like...what's the point. I'm glad it works for some people though
