[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe I live near a big TJs and a small Aldi's but I find TJs just as complete a selection (obviously not identical)

TJs is more convenient (I hate the way Aldis handles carts) and more pleasant to shop, and has lots of specific items we like.

Aldis is pretty consistently cheaper though (and not as terrible an experience as BJ's, plus more realistic sizes for a small household)

We go to Aldis sometimes, but probably less than TJs.  My wife will go to BJs, I hate to set foot in there. [/quote]
I am exactly the opposite! I can't find anything at TJs. In fact I was just at Aldi and then TJs and bought only gluten free bagels at TJs. It is like the whole store is full of nuts and frozen meals to me. I bought organic 100% grass fed beef at Aldi for $5. Oh, well, to each its own.[/quote]

We love their whipped cream cheese, and several of their snacks.   We get several other dairy items. We get kosher chicken there (cannot find that at Aldi's).  We get their mini challahs.   We sometimes get lox there.  Also sometimes hummus and/or guac.

My wife likes several of the produce items, but you do have to be more careful, and increasingly we only get them at TJs if a second stop at aldis is too inconvenient.

I also occasionally get beer or wine at TJ's.  And yeah, we do buy nuts and seeds and so forth.  We actually don't get much frozen, although a lot looks tempting.  [/quote]
I am careful with the produce at Aldi, I used to get a lot of fruit at Costco, but stopped that as their huge packs of fruit rot and have mold on them within a day. I am lucky to have a Wegmans not too far from me, so I often buy produce there, and the price between organic and regular is not that bad. But, TJs is becoming more of a favorite since I was diagnosed with dairy and wheat allergy.[/quote]
