Default Re: ALDI: worth a special trip?

There is an Aldi's about one hour and half away from my house - Is it worth it for me to drive all the way and save money? Gas prices are pretty high - however there is a Save-A-Lot about 15 minutes away from my house. I used to shop at Aldi's when it was about 25 minutes away when I lived in Pittsburgh.

Anyone drive that far to go food shopping?? Is Aldi's worth the longer drive?

Thanks!

I have an Aldi's right next to the grocery store I use most often so I do go there. I alos get excited about .69 for bread. Our stores don't double or triple coupons and most of the ones I see aren't for the things I buy anyway. The local warehouse club isn't really local (45 - 60 minute drive) so this is my best shot for savings. My DS2 loves their yogurt.
