Lots of people with money shop cheap in order to keep more of their money. Smart if you ask me!

Although I know there are some who can't possibly imagine buying off brand.

If you ask me, Keebler cookies and Aldi cookies are both equally bad for you. As well as Doritos and nacho cheese flavored chips are equally bad for you.

I'm not one to fall for marketing. I don't feel any better or safe eating Rice Krispies as opposed to Krisp Rice. Only difference is one enables me to keep my money and another lines the pockets of another.

I love Aldi's and wish there was one closer to me! But there is one a couple of towns over and if I'm there for other errands, I try to stop in. I haven't bought milk or meat, but I have done fine with fruit. I've bought a lot of snack stuff, and I really like the Fit & Healthy brand. Before DH went on a low-salt diet, we used to buy pretzels there (the short rods in the plastic bucket) and liked them better than the name brand. I only buy cold stuff if it's my last stop before going home, but they have much better prices on ice cream treats than my local grocery store, and my family loves their frozen French-cut green beans - I don't know what the difference is, but they taste way better!

Since this was my thread originally (was shocked to see it pop back up), I thought I would reply.

I DID end up going to Aldi. My first trip was eh. I wasn't that excited about it, though there were quite a few items that were safe for me. I didn't get a chance to go back until last week. Currently I am on a very tight budget so I decided to give it another shot. Wow! I was amazed! I was able to get more then 1/2 of my grocery list for like $27. Now, I can't do all my shopping there, but I was pleasantly surprised with how much I WAS able to get.

So it will now be a major stop for my grocery shopping.
