I've shopped at Aldi while staying in PA. I didn't buy a lot, but didn't
find a problem with anything I bought, including the diet soda. They used
to sell you a bag if you didn't bring any. Not sure if they still do. Had
forgotten about the quarters. Odd that the grocery stores on the East Coast
do that. Don't know of any on the West Coast that do.
