Food Politics: ALDI Divisive Practice?

February 13th, 2024 at 01:25 am » Comments (0)

“The Bud Light special treatment”
ALDI faces mass boycott over

National Procurement Officer job posting 

So begins yet another chapter in my personal battle with the Division, Exclusion & Inequality practices that affect my shopping choices.

Skipping the entire 14th Amendment argument for equal protection under law…


The financial aspect: It will add about $10 a week or $520 a year to our Food expense.


That would then be balanced by no long needed an Instacart+ Membership so for 2024 that would be offset by $99. With careful shopping likely I can do better to reduce the financial aspect.

Personal Politics: ALDI will be the loser (however small a customer we may be) and to a lesser degree Food Lion & of course the very diverse and really nice people who shop and delivery for Instacart (doubt they will miss my membership)

One of the full articles causing my personal tempest in a teapot link:

*ALDI prices often vary from area to area – Although ALDI has the lowest “mark up” among stores that do not offer “In-Store Pricing” – the above is based on delivery by Instacart I compared these with the same items in other states. Prices were similar

P.S. The Beef for Carne Asada or Carne Picada is excellent for use in Taco, Fajitas, Italian Beef, Chili, and pretty much anyplace you would use either ground or sliced beef – just change up the seasoning blends. AND… For someone with hand grip/arthritis issues, it is worth the extra few cents per pound








ALDI GH 40 Tips

May 9th, 2022 at 10:45 am » Comments (0)


ALDI – TIPS – having shopped there for quite awhile before becoming mostly delivery dependent,

these tips are worth considering. And may be helpful for both Shopper & Customer. so file under “worth a read thru” My primary exception is the article says “shop on Wednesday” – seemingly based on where, in most areas, the weekly finds are first available. There are “shelved” in some areas for Sunday, making it a good day. It also means most “mark downs” are done on Thurs or Fri when to empty shelves for “new releases” on Sunday.
