The Aldis around here look upscale, but they sell mostly store brands. So, a discount grocery store for people who don't want to feel poor? I can't tell if the quality is better than any other discount grocer. I do like their peanut butter cereal.

    The Aldi's here is just a slightly larger Trader Joe's, the selection is so much smaller than regular grocery stores. I don't necessarily need 6 brands of Mac n Cheese, but I would like at least one option. I don't have time to grocery shop twice in a week, so I just go to Kroger instead.

    Thatโ€™s how they can offer lower prices.

    A grocery store for people who are tired of being raked over the advertising coals and realize that Aldi Oโ€™s are just as good as Cheerios.

    Much better than most.

    The only difference I can see between Aldi and Save-a-lot, or similar stores, is that Aldis are always in expensive-looking buildings. If anything, I'd expect grocers in cheaper buildings to be able to afford better quality store brands.
