They used to be shopped but I haven't seen them in a while. Not sure if they still do.
I just did one last week. It was a competitor shop for kroger.
Any hints as to what company it was from?
Yeah, you're right, but I always call it Aldi's myself!!@ShopperGirly wrote:
For crying our loud. It is "Aldi", not "Aldis"
Thank you. It's like saying "Target's"
IDK why, but I say ALDIs too. But then I also say Penneys...and you will need to be pretty old for this reference, but I also used to say Wards...
but they were offered for very low reimbursement and fee...
Shopping Eastern Pennsylvania since 2009
That's what I remember. $5 and $5. I usually did them for $15 and $5. And if there was stuff out of stock, it was a tedious shop.
Do not read so much, look about you and think of what you see there.

Over a decade ago, the MSC with Samantha, when it had another name, had Aldi shops. I did a few of them. I believe the fee was $10, and I don't remember what the reimbursement was. I shop there all the time, so if they ever came back, I'd probably do them again.
Same - when I did them, it was that company and it wasn't a huge fee or reimbursement, but I shopped there anyway so it wasn't a big deal to do the report.

I don't have a KRoger's...this wasn't helpful. Any other hints?
If it was a competitor shop for Kroger's, and you don't have a Kroger near you, then you probably wouldn't need the name of the MSC.
i'll have to find out the MSC.
I just moved where Aldi's is like Kroger aka Ralph's aka King Soopers aka Fred Meyer.
Aldi's is $$ on a lot, but some killer deals exist for us! Cabot Creamery Cheese

Lidl is shopped. That's almost like Aldi.
Aldi has Cabot Creamery Cheese? do they have Cabot Creamery yogurt too? For some reason Publix stopped selling my favorite yogurt and I'm craving it right now.
I have in the past done Aldi but not lately. Done by same as Krogers
I have NEVER seen anything at Aldi that is more expensive than Kroger. And Kroger is far less expensive than the price controlled grocery stores in this town. Milk at Kroger here is $3 and change at Kroger, at the local stores here a gallon of milk is over $4 all of the time, and the Walmart keeps their prices just a few cents less than the local grocery stores on similar items. So if the milk at the local store is $4.28, Walmart will be $4.19. When the Aldi just North of me had milk gallons for $.99 (4 years in a row), the Walmart across the street from them couldn't compete directly, but they marked down their gallons of milk to $1.39 per gallon.
Groceries are not priced by what they cost. They are priced by what the market will bear. The cost of the items has no relevance to what we pay for the items at the store. The same beef that we are paying $5.00 or more per lb for here in AL is $2 or $3 per lb in CA and TX. The pink slime ground beef in the chubs at ALL of the Walmarts and Krogers here is $4 - $5 per lb. The 3 lb. "fluff" packs of ground beef we are supposed to check on the shops here are regularly $14 - $15, and sometimes they go on sale for $12.
I would LOVE to get CA meat prices here, I'd love TX meat prices even better. lol

Never heard of price controlled groceries. Interesting what goes on in other parts of the country.

A Dad shopping the Ark-LA-Tex and beyond.
Dad,
It's two stores, different names, owned by the same company. Every store in town, including Walmart adjusts their prices to match the grocery stores prices. And the prices are exactly the same at both stores. Even the supposedly independent meat market sets their prices according to the local grocery stores.
I guess I don't have to say that my money is better spent elsewhere. I avoid going into this town as much as humanly possible. The county gets my vehicle tag money and my property taxes. I don't spend any other money here when I can avoid it.
