[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, I am one of those out of area (Houston) people who stumbled upon this site and enjoy the Forum. I heard of Aldi from here, and now we have one in our area. This did surprise me as we have plenty of grocery chains -  H-E-B, Randall's, Kroger, Wal-Mart, Whole Foods, etc.

My sister went over the weekend and said it was odd. She said to use a cart there was a charge (just .25) and that the store didn't carry any grocery bags, like Sam's Club. Sam's Club though, offers bulk items so I can see why. Of course she knows if she wants to go there again she will need to bring reusable bags.

I'm guessing that to people that go to Aldi on a regular basis, this is very normal so no one probably thinks it's an inconvenience, right?[/quote]

You get your quarter back so no biggie there. Probably cuts down on people not returning the carts to their proper place so maybe the incentive to get their quarter back? The store is a no frills place.  No frills = cheaper pricing. I have shopped there for years with no problem.

They sell bags there. Cant remember how much as it has been a while since I have been but I think paper bags are like 3c each and plastic bags maybe 5c? I use paper bags so I can reuse the paper bags (the kids like to draw on it, I can use for packing paper in packages or to wrap a gift/package to mail, etc). Also they will tell you to look for boxes as you shop and you can reuse the boxes.
