"European"? Aldi's opened in the Midwest almost 35 years ago. No
refrigeration, no price marking, no bags. Few name brands. The cashier
memorized the prices, which all ended in "9".

I saw a report of his death at Business Week website, and it mentioned
that he also owned Trader Joes. I wonder if Winking Owl is the same as
two buck chuck? That is why his eye is winking. Too bad I live in PA,
and cannot buy wine at my Aldi's, but whenever I am in Ohio I
purchase lots of wine.
