People think Aldi is full of cheap products for poor people, but really it's just a very cost effective business model for people who value frugality.

Yeah, my brother visited a few in Germany before they made it to Houston and converted me before I even set foot in one. Too bad they don't offer curbside. We've been an HEB household throughout the pandemic for that reason, which isn't so bad either. Not nearly as economical though.

is your plan to buy out the store? maybe kidnap an employee?

if the answers to the above is no, an suv should suffice.

if yes, do you need any help?

well, with the money you'd save from shopping at Aldi, you could have quite a bit, so here's what I'd suggest...

jesus man, are you planning on eating the people you kidnap too?

I've no problem helping you stuff your suv full of Aldi's staff. I draw the line at cannibalism.

Aldi is the only place I shopped at when I was in college. And it was my primary grocery source after I graduated and before I moved to NYC. I love Aldi.

Aldi is great. I hope Chris can experience it one day without the need to consume human flesh.

As far as dinner tonight... I'm, again, not so sure. Maybe chili? I should probably make a call on that here in a minute.
