Americans spend a lot less on food than most people on the planet. We have the most competitive supermarket business in the world and we have the most efficient farming in the world. So, prices are very low. But thats not good enough for some people. Those are the people who travel to Aldi to get a deal. The German supermarket chain is different than any other store, and people either love it or they hate it. Granted, the hours and the selection are the pits. You even have to pay to rent a shopping cart. But the prices are fantastic. There are more than 800 stores in the U.S. and that number is growing. Aldi has been in the U.S. for 30 years and its still an invisible entity. Also, check-out lines are usually very long and you must bag your own groceries. If youre still interested, check out
