4 Reasons To Shop At ALDI The Next Time You Need Groceries

I think you only need 4 reasons to shop at ALDI. Anyone who's trying to save money and avoid takeout as much as possible will enjoy shopping there.

1. No Plastic Bags

It's mostly about budgeting, but why not save the earth along the way? You will not find any plastic grocery bags in an ALDI grocery store. To take your groceries away, you can either use the boxes they have in the back of the store, or your own re-usable bags. This not only eliminates plastic waste from ALDI, but gets shoppers in the habit of bringing their own bags when they shop anywhere.

2. German Snacks

Aldi is a German establishment, so you'll find snacks there you probably haven't tried before. Choceur makes scrumptious chocolate, Stollen cakes are delicious, and Benton's wafer rolls are probably the best you'll ever have. You can enjoy German food minus the cost of a flight there.

3. No Stray Shopping Carts

It always bugs me when I go shopping and see feral carts. Is it really that hard to put your cart away when you're done unloading? At ALDI, this isn't an issue! Shopping carts cost one quarter to rent, and when you return your cart, you get the quarter back. That's incentive enough to deter cart-ditchers.

4. Everything is Inexpensive

This is definitely the biggest selling point for most. ALDI keeps its prices very low in several ways, but one is by stocking the store in an unorthodox way. All the products stay in their boxes on the shelf, so you might have to open a new pallet yourself. This makes stocking and inventory much easier, cutting down on costs, and freeing up some space to lower prices.

We Heart It

Over the past decade, television has undergone a very crucial transition: the incorporation of female lead characters. Since it's a known fact that girls actually do run the world (Beyonce said so herself), it's time for the leading ladies of the small screen to get some credit. Without these characters, women would still be sitting in the background of our favorite shows. These women are not only trailblazers for female empowerment, but role models for women worldwide. With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:
