Oracle of DelphiThe Aldi Shopping Experience
January 22nd 2007 09:18
You can say what you like about the Krauts, but they have to be given credit for these ALDI supermarkets. I'm not on the best wicket at the moment, studying and all that, so I am often looking for a good deal.
The shops near where I live in Newtown include a number of little supermarkets, but their prices are getting up to convenience store prices. You take in a 20 buck note and don't get much more than bread, milk and toilet paper. Then there is Woolies at Marrickville Metro and despite the fact they have the best in choice, you still find yourself coming out with either not very much money or not very much food, or both.
The alternative then of course is ALDI, also at Marrickville Metrol. Heaps and heaps of food for not very much cash - and I am talking close to half what you would spend at Woolworths. They have the odd brand name and the obscure brands are obviously brands repackaged for a different market. Yes you have to pack your own bags and be careful of pallet jacks, but it is well worth it.
I have told my flatmate the next stop is Campbell's Cash & Carry, but I am not quite there yet.
I'm off to eat, drink and be merry.
