I don't know how they think we're all going to survive with these prices.

Aldi is also great if you've got one near you and are not able (or don't need) to buy in bulk.

If you haven't shopped there before, they're a German based chain that's spread across the rest of Europe and a lot of North America and almost-only sells their own store-brand products. Their prices are similar to Walmart and Kroger store brand but, IMO, they're of much better quality. As a person with ADHD, I find shopping there to be much less anxiety inducing... it's a grocery store the size of a Walgreens. If I need pickles, there's one brand with five different cuts in three flavors; there's only two kinds of ketchup, six kinds of fruit juice, four different laundry detergents... one kind of paper plates. Also, the cashiers are scary fast.

I can complete my weekly shop in like twenty minutes without a headache or back pain. It's genuinely like someone designed a grocery store just for me and it's cheap AF... just remember to bring your own reusable bags and a quarter. You'll need a quarter to unlock the shopping cart from the rack. You get your coin back when you return your cart like a civilized human being. They have paper bags for sale at the register for like 28¢ if you forget to bring your own.

I agree, Aldi is great. Especially for 1-2 person households.

Aldi >>>> Costco

A lot of shit at Costco isn't even a good deal these days. People just assume it must be because they are bad at basic arithmetic. Like, there are some good deals still, but not like how it was ten years ago. These days most stuff is legitimately cheaper at Aldi.
