I just don't find their prices very competitive. I can get similar prices
at Meijer where they will supply the bags, bag the groceries, and provide
curbside service. Maybe I'm just in an area where there is fierce
competition and prices are low. Kroger is always the most expensive store
in this area, which happens to be the corporate headquarters for Kroger. I
don't think it is fair to compare the prices at Aldi with Kroger unless
Kroger is your only alternative.
