Aldi's shops are down to $3 now

If I shopped there regularly, and the time to report was not unreasonable, then I would certainly consider taking that shop.
Shopping Southeast Pennsylvania, Delaware above the canal, and South Jersey since 2008
When they hit $6 I will do the ones I pass by daily. I did 4 last month at $10.
The fees on all the (name of MSC) shops I see are going down. Too many people willing to work for too little money.

I took two of them at the locations where I do weekly audits for another MSC.

I wait til they are $10 too. They will go up. I am one of the few shoppers in this area.
Those always disappear really fast in my area, no matter the fee. You must admit they are super easy to do and report.
At $3, I will not do one if I am going to Aldi to shop as I do go there about once a week.
That is an insult. I'd rather keep track of my shopping list and get in and out.
All the Aldi locations are in bad neighbourhoods in my city. You have to fight off the cart beggar who already brawled with another homeless guy to ask for my cart at my car for the quarter that is in it. It's almost like a shakedown. I don't use cash often and use the same quarter over and over. The homeless guy stood in front of my cart once and would not move, so I had to run into him with the cart. After we had words, that never happened again.

scan, ew! Why do you shop there, just curious?
I know the prices are good, but they are higher in bad neighborhoods. I do audits for two of their locations, one in a good neighborhood, and one in a bad neighborhood. Eggs in the good neighborhood are $0.99 a dozen. Eggs in the other location are $1.09.

They are what I call a stock up store. I do a stock up buy as the house brand is just as good for: Canned diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, tomato paste, kidney beans, Pinto beans, broth, stock, sloppy joe, pasta, canned peaches in light syrup, instant rice, sugar, flour, waffle mix, mayonnaise, dried spices, and staples like milk, eggs, bacon, and the link sausage is better than Publix. The onions, potatoes, celery, green peppers and mushrooms are good. The frozen potato rounds are as good as Orida brand. I'd stay away from fresh veggies as well.
I would not buy fresh meat or any of the prepared frozen foods.
It's worth a stop once a month to fill the pantry and save more than 1/2 price compared to Publix.

Yes, they are great for staples.
I buy fresh meats from there. Whole chickens are $0.95/pound, and the pork butts fit perfectly in my crock pot. I spend a lot of time in the middle aisle.

You can ask for more. I just asked for $10 and got an email confirmation within about 2 hours.
