[quote=Anonymous]I've tried Aldi a few times and found the shopping experience unpleasant - I'm sure if you go there a lot it gets better with experience but the middle aisle filled with random camping equipment and office supplies is so confusing and the checkout is not good.  I have had the same experience as upthread PPs with produce going bad very quickly, which always infuriates me as a frugal person.  Additionally the produce selection is like a strange farmer's market 30 minutes before closing - there are some very basic staples I have never been able to find (herbs, for instance), but then there will be a veritable mountain of raspberries starting to go bad.  The only thing worse than overspending on something is throwing away something unused.  Plus the one closest to me (Silver Spring on Georgia Ave) is a giant PITA to get in and out of.

So I love saving money and I have no problems with poor people but I also don't fetishize "European" groceries the way some seem to and saving $0.20/lb on particular produce doesn't move the needle if I need to hit four other stores to get everything I need.[/quote]
