Thanks for the list. We're slated for two Aldi's sometime in the near
future (they just cleared the lot for the first one, so close to
winter that if they don't get the cement poured and the framing up,
they won't do anything else til next spring).

We currently have a mess of PriceRites, and other areas of the state
have Shop N'Save and Sav-a-Lot. Pricerite is good for produce, altho
everyone else will loss-lead prices lower than theirs on one or two
items every week. Milk and eggs they used to be the best, but now the
drug stores are loss-leading them on those, but not all the time.

Their prices on cheese and yogurt, and several of our pantry items are
very good. I'm in there at least once, usually twice a week. Meat
and fish are areas they do nothing for me. I want to smell the fish,
and the meat always looks nasty.
