... is shopping for a food pantry.

My partner lives near one, and I regularly go there to shop for the food pantry my church supports.

I can get a Prius-full of groceries for under $100.

Voting is like driving. If you want to go backwards, select R. If you want to go forward, select D.

I read that they require a refundable quarter to use and return a cart. That seems odd, I wouldn't imagine many people stealing carts, unless its a place like Felini.

Never heard of the place. Are the store brands as good as they claim?

There's definitely demand for cheap food these days.

I'm not sure I get the quarter shopping cart deposit, either. If someone wants to steal a cart, is a quarter going to deter them?

I'd rather be cycling.

Oak Ridge has a UGO store, that uses a simular theme to cut costs.

Milk isnt 1.99, but its usually a dollar cheaper than
Wallmart or Krogers.

Bread is usually 1.29 .

Its very uneven what gets in, but I save quite a few bucks shopping there.

I would shop at this store in a heart beat.

My wife works about 6 mins. from Turkey Creek, I might have her stop in when it opens

No Matter Where you go, There you Are!!!!

My folks were out at Aldi this afternoon. Dad was mumbling about the fire marshall and crowds. I took it the lines were pretty long, but then again he's never proven to have what you might call patience when it comes to shopping.

What was the crowd like Redmon? I'm excited about this store, but I inherited antsy-ness when it comes to lines.

It was pretty congested when I was there today about 11 o'clock. The first aisle past the entrance was packed and there was a lot of congestion around the refrigerators. The store is also laid out in such a way as to funnel shoppers in the desired direction and prevent exits that avoid the checkout lanes. The checkouts moved pretty briskly though even with this number of people.

I don't plan to visit again except during weekday afternoons until the 'new' wears off.

It's a very cheap grocery store. Generally low quality but low prices too. Not sure why they've expanded here, or why it's exciting that they did so.

Knoxville hasn't had a new grocery store in awhile. . . as far as I know. In fact, I can't even remember the last time a new grocery chain entered the market. The fact that it is a discount store, and we are in the middle of a recession is fueling the interest as well.

The excitement is in the fact that there is a new and affordable option in town. It may not be an option some of you need, but others certainly do.

A plus for seniors is that Aldi's does not require a four mile hike to the paper towel aisle that the megamarkets do.

This is the reason I refuse to shop at the Bearden Kroger.

My quality of life has improved since I started (trying) to shop for basics once a month. Add in a few trips to the Co-op and fruit stand and there you have it.

This is the reason I refuse to shop at the Bearden Kroger.

I go in there occasionally and it really is ridiculous.

However, it will be a cold day in you know where when I subject myself to the trip that ends in the horrible traffic of Schaad Road. And I don't do Turkey Creek.

So I guess I'm out of luck on Aldi's unless they decide to build a store closer in.
