To continue on the offtopic tangent, I doubt anyone that thinks Wal-mart has the cheapest princes on things compares prices.

Wal-mart may still be cheaper on some things, but for the most part with smart shopping you will save money going to other places.

yeah like Aldi for starters.

Aldi? Seriously?

You ***** and moan about cheap ****....well Aldi is the king of the cheap **** places. I've been in there once and I will never return. If I wanted "discount" off brand groceries I'd go to Las Americas off Admiral and Lewis.

I never said I wouldn't buy cheap ****.  I said the **** at Target is just as cheap and of the same quality as the **** at Wal-Mart.

As far as "off brand" groceries at Aldi....what is the difference in buying Great Value at Wal-Mart or that Anderson Farms (or whatever they call it) at Target.  They are just as "off brand" as Grandessa at Aldis.  And milk is milk, they don't get Borden milk from a brand name cow and get Aldi's milk from an Aldi cow.  Well, I dunno maybe you get all of your milk and eggs from the funny farm.

I love Aldi. I have a recycling center in front of the one at 21st and 129th East Avenue.

They have great prices and don't try to shove everything into bags I don't need.

I can't say about the difference between Target and Wal-Mart store brand stuff, but I do know that Great Value macaroni and cheese is barely passable. Best Choice is much better. (Always Save is in the middle)

I will say one nice thing about Wal-Mart branded stuff: Sam's Choice fizzy beverages are excellent, with the exception of the cola flavor. Dr. Thunder and Mountain Lightning are very good.

There are degrees to the store brand things. Some of them are as high quality as name brand, some aren't. Some stores carry both types.

considering that you have to pay for any bags you use, no I would say they don't shove them into bags you don't need.

This makes for great entertainment though, as people will try to carry as many loose items as possible.  I see someone drop a whole armful of **** going out the door at least every other time I go.  The other funny thing is the box scavengers who will take half empty boxes and dump them to store stuff in.  This helps Aldi not have to throw them away, but the boxes are weak and I've seen the bottoms bust out of a few.
