I just discovered Aldi's - read a piece about it in the New York Times - then found one about 25 miles away from me.
Here's part of their philosophy:
"We adhere to stringent quality standards. Every product we sell must match or exceed the leading national brand in taste, appearance, and/or performance. Our premium produce is shipped faster and smarter, so it comes to your table fresher and cheaper. We’re so sure of the quality of what we sell that we back it with our exclusive Double Guarantee. So you can always shop ALDI with confidence. "
Aldi's was started by the same guys who founded Trader Joe's.
You put a quarter in to get your cart, bring your own bags and pack them. I found prices to be about one-half what they are in grocery stores. The quality of the body wash, body lotion, paper products, meats, cheeses and eggs were top shelf. Some of their body lotions said to compare them to Bath and Body Works (expensive stuff). I also got 120 count baby aspirin for $1.49.
Of course, like Trader Joe's, if you find something you really like, you better buy a lot of it - you may never see it again.
