Mecca!
I have found the best grocery store EVER!
Okay well, I didn't find it I've been referred to it by a few friends. I kept putting it off and putting it off and then finally I got my roommate to go with me over to the Aldi on Caplital Blvd. WOW! So it's not fabulous but it's pretty cool. They've got all kinds of stuff just like the grocery store but at discounted prices...VERY discounted. The reason they're able to sell things so cheap is they're all off brands. Somethings I'm a little iffy about buying when they're not name brands but I'm gonna give it a shot and see how it goes!
So, about the Aldi stores...here's what their website says:
The ALDI Way: Incredible Value Every Day.
The ALDI way of shopping has been continuously honed and refined since our first store opened in Southeastern Iowa in 1976. Committed to bringing food to customers at the lowest prices possible, our early stores set up shop in small spaces and introduced shoppers to the select-assortment concept, carrying only 500 select brand products. Compared with other supermarkets, our stores seemed tiny. But ALDI found a niche with Americans hungry for real value, and the chain grew rapidly.
Over time, more products were added, including more refrigerated and frozen foods. ALDI also began experimenting with Special Purchase items, to great success. More recently, Sunday hours were instituted, and ALDI began accepting debit cards.
Today, there are over 1,000 ALDI stores in 29 states, from Kansas to the East Coast. And today’s ALDI store carries about 1,400 regularly-stocked items, including fresh meat, and, in certain locations, beer and wine. Though the original ALDI concept has been modified somewhat to accommodate our ever-changing tastes and preferences, the core concept remains: “Incredible Value Every Day.”
So, if you haven't already checked them out you should find your nearest one! It's so great, especially when you're on a budget. Just remember to take your debit card or cash because they don't accept credit cards!
