I agree they are sometimes too fast for you, but when you're a student the savings are well worth it, often half the price of a normal supermarket


> often half the price

How's the food inflation nowadays? A couple years back it seemed like all the frozen items were huge boxes with lots of empty air in there.

So I eat junk food occasionally, usually end up regretting it ... unlike the local supermarket at an expensive $3.33 for a bag of 40 name brand pizza rolls, I could buy a large box of generic pizza rolls at Aldi for only $2.50 ... woo hoo sounds awesome ... containing 17 rolls. Oh maybe not so good of a deal. It was funny to look at frozen appetizers where there would be this big box of breaded mushrooms and in tiny print "qty 5" and so on. I seem to recall a big box with 3 mozzarella cheese sticks.

BTW I don't photographic memorize prices, the above prices were verified via google.

Much as I'm not rich enough to shop at walmart, I'm not rich enough to shop at Aldi.

Admittedly, the produce had little selection (food desert style) but what little was there, was good quality and cheap, so its not all bad.
