It matters where shop. It matters for different reasons. We may have emotional, habitual or convenience reasons for each type of shopping experience. However, for the majority of us, the most important reason that has an impact on our decision is the cost.
Let’s talk about the grocery shopping. Regardless of the season, time of the week or day, shopping for food is a must, and we have so many options. So, how can we pick the best choice? To be honest If I was very rich, I would go for Whole Foods, since it is not the case the best alternative for me is Aldi. I will share with you the reasons why I shop at Aldi, and also why you may consider it too. At least pay a visit, and see what Aldi is all about.
I started shopping at Aldi 4 years ago when it first opened in the town I lived. At first, I was pretty skeptical for many reasons. First of all, I was not familiar with the brand at all. Later on, I learned that it was based in Germany and has so many chain supermarkets all around the world, including the UK.
Second, I was questioning the prices, which were considerably lower than the other stores, such as Sam’s Club, Kroger, Meier and Walmart. In addition to that, the fresh produce, other dry food, and frozen food brands were new to me. Also, there were limited options and choices. However, after a few visits, I was hooked because I could buy organic vegetables cheaper than anywhere else, and still spend less money than I used to spend for my grocery shopping.
It was a life changer for me, because I used to do my grocery shopping based on the price tags. Sometimes, when I was about to buy something, I would realize that the price of the item was higher than I was willing to pay and put the item back to its shelf. Not anymore, especially when I am shopping at Aldi. I feel like shopping at Aldi made me not worry about the money that I spend on my food. Also, it makes feel wealthy and more positive.
I like their products, and also, I do not pay a fortune to eat organic food. I am very happy that they just opened a new location where our Gym is located. So, all my reasons came together to shop at Aldi; good location, good prices and organic food choices. If you do not want to pay more and get less, you must try Aldi. It is not an ordinary American store; it will take time to get used to it, but each time it will get better. You will love the feeling when you are paying at the cash register.
