MODERATORS
Growing up in a small town in the South it was kind of crazy when Aldi and Lidl set up nearby. Not only are the prices so much better on nearly everything but in general the quality of the products was much better than at existing local grocery stores.
The only thing is they're (especially Aldi) missing a few things that either someone in my household is fussy about the brand or sometimes some regional things. Like you're not going to find some of the particular ingredients you might want when cooking soul food.
While I'm absolutely stoked that I can finally buy gruyere in Kansas thanks to Aldi, I do agree that sometimes they just don't have the specific things. Fortunately there's a Thai grocery and a tortillaria down the road from mine, between the 3 I haven't needed to even consider Walmart for food.
