Fantastic sale on something non perishable that I like... but you have to buy 5 to get the saving. Mix and match but non of that other stuff is something I use. So I say, OK. I will buy 5 toothpaste. Get to the store. Empty shelf. Raincheck... 45 min waiting.

I actually avoid shopping at Frys (Kroger) because of that. Coventina Sep 29 #4

Same for me! I shop almost exclusively at Aldi & save a ton of $$$! SheltieLover Sep 29 #7

I wish there was an Aldi near me. Closest one is 30 miles away. Coventina Sep 29 #10

I get it. Mine is 15 mi away. I shop by instacart. SheltieLover Sep 29 #13

Often the "sale" just brings the cost down to a normal price. I expect what they're really doing is selling your data. Gaugamela Sep 29 #5
