It's either Aldi or Trader Joe's. Near my house, there is an Aldi, a Trader Joes, and a Whole Foods, all within a mile of each other.

That's a sort of mini-France, so it's understandable that people are getting confused. Inpossible posted:Isn't it an American thing to call them French fries? Calling them 'chips' would be even sillier. I tried to look up pics of disgusting fish 'n' chips wrapped in week-old, yellowing newspapers, but it actually looks kind of delicious. So I present you with this instead: Why would I make games that don't suck when I can just follow my dream of visiting sacred penis shrines with my hot wife?

The lack of a Trader Joe's in Wichita is yet another reason why the Midwestern United States is a cesspit. Have you ever had Charles Shaw? It's amazing wine for, like, $2. Two-buck Chuck, they call it. It's the greatest thing. But no. Here we have Foxhorn and it's 8 dollars for a giant bottle of semi-bitter red acid that evacuates your bowels into a abattoir of shame that is the metaphor of your life.

The Trader Joe's in Leawood has no booze. Also its 3 bucks most places now.

It's either Aldi or Trader Joe's. We have both in Atlanta. Two different things, really. Trader Joe's is like a budget Whole Foods - lots of organic/chemical-free stuff. Aldi's is like groceries for poor people. Off-brand everything, lovely produce, etc.

Usually Trader Joe's, like Costco, has a "separate" alcohol store which is basically just another room with a different door and you have to make your alcohol purchases in there.

FishBulb posted:Huh. Well they don't here poo poo like that is super dependent on local laws. Here in Washington the booze is just tucked away in one corner of the store. It used to be just beer and wine, but the law changed about a year ago and they have liquor now as well. Where I grew up in Florida is a lot like Pick described (for liquor anyway), while in Pennsylvania and a lot of other places you can't even buy a six-pack at the grocery store. Enough grocery store chat, pictures!

The Ape of Naples posted:What's a Hofer? Aldi in Austria. "Hofer" is a pretty common surname in Austria and apparently they decided that it would sound more familiar and more pleasant here than "Aldi", so they just re-named it.

I live in Montana where we have exactly jack poo poo for anything, particularly fancy grocery stores, so this discussion makes me sad. But, as a child of the Northeast, I must hasten to remind you all that if you ain't Wegman's, you ain't poo poo.

In addition to Two Buck Chuck, Joe's also carries Vodka Of The Gods which is a totally passable vodka that comes in 1.75L bottles and costs . This was a staple of my grocery shopping for a long time.

Alec Baldwin did a commercial for them because his mother wouldn't move away from the area, for fear of losing Wegman's.

I'm lucky to live right near 2-3 Wegmans, I don't know what I'd do if I needed to use Aldi. I've talked to people who live in Philly and Florida who still have a vivid memory of how much better Wegman's is than their local stores, even if they've only been there once.

Aside from the farmers market their butcher counter and bakery has no equal.
