In reply to the discussion: When will consumers wake up to the shrinking food package + inflation scam? [View all]NJCher

But I was just about to bring up Aldis.
Aldis is run differently than most supermarkets. They are super-efficient. There is a lot of thought that goes into their operation, such as how they handle grocery carts. They are also not cheapskates with their help. Around here they pay 12 an hour.
Those blueberries nobodyspecial mentions are sometimes 99 cents. But with the bananas, you have to buy the whole bunch. You can't just buy a few. Price here is around 40 cents a lb.
They have a cracker assortment that's 2.74 and the crackers are better than anything I can get at a grocery store or even Trader Joe's.
Oh and another thing, Aldi has incredibly good dark chocolate which is low in fat. $1.89 for a bar!
