Default Re: do you shop at aldi's?

Aldi was about to build a store in my town last year and the snobby Aholes in my town started a campaign against them by petitioning to the city council and a letter-writing campaign in the local paper. They all described Aldi as a decrepit undesirable store where the poverty-stricken shop. I was only one of two people who wrote letters to the editor in the paper in support of Aldi (versus probably over 50 against). The Aholes won and Aldi backed out of their deal to move into an empty lot at an intersection in our town. So I have to still drive 30 miles out of town every week to grocery shop at Aldi's in a neighboring city. It's still worth it for half-price premium-quality groceries.
