Inexpensive groceries

August 19, 2023 02:39PM
The grocery shops I do have me interacting with employees in every department, deli, bakery, floral, seafood, meat, cashier.

For $10 reimbursement and a starting pay of $10. I won't accept them until they are bonused. It takes a minimum of 35 minutes in store for me to do them, especially if there isn't an employee in a department and I have to check several times.

So don't think they are all the same shops.

Edited to add the report takes another 15 minutes.

What state are you in? I can't seem to find if Aldi is shopped or if my local Krogers are shopped. I am in KY

Krogers ARE shopped, in every state they are located in, including all of their stores with other names, like Ralphs, Food4Less, Fry's, and many more. Aldi don't seem to be shopped at all. I left CA before our first local Aldi opened in Moreno Valley, but I knew it was going to open soon. I've been searching the job boards (and the forum for information) for 7 years here, I haven't seen an Aldi shop yet. Lidl and Trader Joes get shopped, but not Aldi, and I don't know why. But I sure do like to go to Aldi to get Pecan Shortbread cookies for $1.50 so I can cheat on my diet and make myself suffer.. lol

Is that better myst?

As a Kroger competitor or just a completely different thing? I think I have one or two around me but I'm not too familiar with the chain. They're tiny, right?

I am sure you meant to say that Kroger stores (under various names) are shopped in the 30 states where they actually have Kroger stores.

Aldi is the third largest grocer in the US. Their stores are smaller in comparison and they sell mostly their own, high quality, store brands. Great no questions asked money back guarantee.

I haven't seen the non-competitor shops for them in at least 7-8 years.
