I went grocery shopping last night, returning for the first time in over a year or more to the local and recently remodeled Aldis instead of the HyVee. I like what they have done to the place and realized when I came home that I got a LOT of groceries for a fair amount LESS then they would have cost me at HyVee. We have become used to shopping at HyVee where we enjoy the benefits of the “Fuel Saver” points that have saved us a ton of money on gas for the car. We have rarely paid more than 1.00/gallon for gas and sometimes much less than that because we carefully watch the specials and take advantage of the fuel saver deals. It comes down to spending less money for filling the stomach. Or spending less money for filling the tank. Such a dilemma!
Has anyone else reading this made a choice between the two … and why? Perhaps you will let me know in your response.
Yes, the savings at Aldi’s makes up for the difference in gas (we get ours at Sam’s) and they have greatly added to their inventory.
I enjoyed shopping there and I think their fruit and veggies are usually pretty good.
