We tend to go grocery shopping very early in the morning during the week
so we don't usually see lines anywhere.

I liked Aldi's and I think it will go into our shopping rotation. So
far, the store brands seem to be fine. Last night we had burgers we
bought there and they were very good (80/20, 1/4 pound, 3 pounds of
$8.89 or around 74 cents each).

Some prices were very low... cream cheese was 99 cents compared to $1.98
at Walmart. Milk was $1.89 per gallon compared to $3.49 at Sam's. Eggs
were 74 cents a dozen. Boxed mac and cheese is 39 cents (a guilty
pleasure).

And they had a "take it and bake it" pizza with the works for $5.99 (16
inch). We tried it and it was good enough that I would buy it again.
