    That's so cool. We had a Trader Joe's in California and miss it dearly now that we live in Oklahoma. We have an Aldi's right down the street. I'll check it out! Thanks!

    What is up with all of these old threads being brought back?

    With that being said, I will occasionally shop at Aldi's, but rarely buy produce there. It often looks like it is on it's last leg.

    title is backwards. It's like saying Abu Garcia owns Jarden.

    So I hear Trader Joe's is kinda upscale. Aldi's is terrible food. Like at my poorest I wouldn't eat that food (at least the meat and cheese vegs maybe different) so gross. Used to work at walmart so funny when people would price match aldi's vegs. Aldi's sells an avocado the size of a quarter for 30 cents but everyone wants the one's at walmart that are the size of a fist (normal price 98 cents - 1.28)

    Produce in my local Aldi's is DISGUSTING. I hope yours is better. It just makes me sad to hear that it is related to Trader Joe's since I think they are good.

    Did you know if you take Aldi's ad to Walmart they will match the produce prices?? At least in my area they do.

    You've got that backwards....Trader Joe's is owned by a divison of Aldi.

    Aldi in the US is owned by the Aldi Sud division of Aldi Einkauf GmbH & Compagnie, oHG. Trader Joe's is owned by the Aldi Nord division.

    Or more accurately Aldi's owns Trader Joe's.

    When I was in college Aldi's had a big salmonella scare, lots of products were affected. To this day I have a hard time shopping there. :(

    Love Love Love Aldi's!!! I was just there this afternoon. Their prices are beyond awesome and the cart quarter idea is a hoot. :)

    ALDI!! great place, finally got some in our area, chicken breasts are at least a dollar cheaper than everywhere else. you have to watch yourself on the other meats though cause it might not be worth the cost. They are really great when you're broke regardless :wink:
