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.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
