ALDI
Filed Under Misc. Links, Shopping
Knoxville area has a new grocery store in town. It is called ALDI. It is off Clinton Hwy. near the Wal-mart & Home Depot. It seems like an interesting store …
The set-up inside reminds me of Save-A-Lot.
If you use a shopping cart, you must have a quarter. You put the quarter in the slot and you get a cart. When you return the cart, you get your quarter back. I guess that is a good way to save on employees collecting carts.
Another way I think they cut cost, is not having bags. So if you go, you need to bring your own bags. Kind of like how Sam’s Club does it. But, I didn’t see boxes up front, like Sam’s Club has for you to place your items in.
They do have brand name items there. To me the prices are about the same as if I went to a normal grocery store like Food City or Kroger. But, they do have some generic stuff.
I do know I would go back again.
Do any of you have this store or a similar store that either doesn’t bag your groceries or requires money to use the shopping carts?
