Shop at Aldi.

Seriously, do these two things and report back in a few months how much you’ve spent [/quote]

Shop at Aldi!? Why not get your baby food at the Dollar Store too??

Look there’s a certain cost to growing an apple or  a pig.  How do you think every link in the supply chain can make money when they’re selling the pork shoulders for 0.99 per pound and the chops for 1-3.99v. A pig to slaughter is, at most 350 lbs.  even if every pound is sold (it’s not), the most marketable cuts going that cheap should be a huge red flag.

When giant is making less than 5% profit store wide including their brand name and packaged goods, produce is probably making around 1%, how does Aldi find apples at 30% cheaper to still sell at a profit?

Retail grocery is incredibly competitive. You’re not always getting more when you pay more, but you should be really concerned about the consistently cheapest option around.  Especially when they’re all too eager to move into poorer areas.[/quote]

You don’t know squat about Aldi apparently. Mine is super good, lots of organic. It’s in Del Ray, not exactly a poor area. Also, they’re owned by the same parent company that owns Trader Joe’s. SMH at your ignorance.

But if you want to be a snob that throws money away, have at it. Seems like a dumb decision, but you do you. [/quote]
