    Nah dude, you’re just incredibly lucky to live in a place near so many lower priced options. I live in a very urban area, and the only nearby grocery stores are Kroger, Meijer, and Fresh Market, and the prices are all basically the same. The nearest Aldi’s is like 25-30 minutes away.

    Also, I guarantee you that prices have been increasing at a similar rate even at the cheap stores.

      Lucky?! I think I pointed out that I’m Hicksville, USA. And yes, Aldi is 25-minutes from me as well. Can’t be assed to drive that far to save $50? Not my problem.

        There literally isn’t enough time in the day. I can’t spend an hour commuting, plus another hour driving to and from Aldi’s, if I want to actually cook any of the groceries I buy there. Putting blame on consumers is asinine when grocery stores have seen more profit than ever these last couple years.
