There is one near me and last time I went, I was severely unimpressed. It was new at the time and maybe I didn't go in with the right frame of mind - or not in the correct state of poverty. I was told by my German friend Antje that ALDIs are all over Germany and it's their main (good) grocery store. I think I'm a little like Donna though - a really nice grocery store makes a big difference to me. Also, the better looking the food is the more likely I am to bring something home. I don't like to cook and eating is mostly utilitarian to me so I'm the type that needs to go to the store hungry or I don't come home with anything but oatmeal and a 12 pack of coke.

Happily, however, they don't seem to stock hooves, snouts, and chicken feet at the store near me. Yeah, Donna, if you want all the extras, I’m sure it’s not the place for you.

I have to admit I'm a grocery store snob. A really nice grocery store is like a day at the spa for me. I love the coffee bars, fresh cut flowers, and the fancy meats. Mostly in my grocery store closest to me I can only find meats like hooves, snouts, and chicken feet. I just want a lousy flank steak once in a while! Maybe it depends on what part of town you live in. For me ALDI is okay for everyday food but I loved beeng pampered at the high end grocery stores and I'm willing to pay for it.
