Between Lotte for fresh produce and Aldi's you can save a bundle. I got a package of strawberries for .79 at Lotte today.

I actually got a thoughtful reply explaining that they wanted a larger plot of land for their new stores. <br /><br />So as a consolation, I am thrilled that this location will work for Aldi. Aldi discounts are at least as good as Costco or BJs, but you don't have to buy enormous quantities. Sometimes I can't believe how many Aldi products I walk out with, and still stay way under $100. They have good fresh produce and meats, and occasionally authentic German foods. Try an Aldi fresh pizza for 5 or 6 bucks -- you'll be very pleasantly surprised. With this nearby Aldi so close, I will go every other day for fresh food. It will also be interesting to see how they fill the space -- Aldi seems to be moving to larger venues as they compete with the main line stores and soon Lidl.

It's just a warehouse of processed, package food and the stores feel kinda grubby. Untidy, crowded, like a rundown warehouse. And the really cheap junk from China. Geeze. My father in law is always buying stuff from there in Australia that breaks a month later. Lidl is also coming to the US, and are based in Arlington. It's a much, much better store. Wish they had nabbed that space.akaijenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10674268954706189313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6246743662284890173.post-88320010060903552722016-08-24T19:42:55.491-04:002016-08-24T19:42:55.491-04:00Am I the only one that remembers the Jumbo superma...Am I the only one that remembers the Jumbo supermarket that was next to Kmart before they expanded.

I'd like to think my contact made a difference, but probably not.<br /><br />The only better operation for this location would be a Sharp Shopper store, which is similar to (but better than) Aldi. Sharp Shopper is a Pennsylvania-based chain and the nearest store I know about is in Winchester, VA. I've been there several times and loved it. I contacted Sharp Shopper about the empty Bloom store and got a polite brush off as well. But I'm absolutely delighted that Aldi will move in.Bob Kovacshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03583629411052388774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6246743662284890173.post-64734021290488671932016-08-24T12:52:12.681-04:002016-08-24T12:52:12.681-04:00Aldi and TJs are NOT the same company.
