I want to try Aldi
This is probably a good idea.
That, and there's one just a few streets away.
But dammit, I don't wanna find a quarter to put in the shopping cart. I don't want to pay for bags so I'd just have to bring a bunch of old Kroger bags, and then stand in line while the woman in front of me buys 500 items.
And then I would go to Kroger to buy all the stuff you can't buy at Aldi anyway. Man, that would be awesome.
(Man, this topic reminds me of Cub Foods so much...I'll miss it)

In the UK, they have a reputation for being "reasonably-priced" or "downmarket" depending on the background/social aspirations of the person you ask. I've never actually shopped in one myself.
We can't keep social class out of anything here - even your choice of supermarket.
I dunno if brands like Clancy's are weird European store brands, but hey, if it's cheap and the food's good, I don't really care.
Unfortunately, their totally-lower prices are not as low these days as a couple years ago when they first opened.
...I feel like making a joke related to Audi, but eh.

This has gotta be the German equivalent of something like "Richard Gardening".
They sure were efficient at murdering 10 million people.
/post may not be entirely serious
You mean back when there wasn't actually a country called Germany?
So while there wasn't "Germany" as we know it, there was a greater Germany. Which was the Holy Roman Empire. And don't forget that language was often a major identifier; for instance, the Teutonic Knights were formed in response to the need for German-speaking healers in the Holy Land. They went on to become the most powerful German military organisation throughout the rest of the Medieval era and the entirety of the Renaissance.
I'd have to consult an appropriate map for the names of territories apart from "not Austria". Apart from the obvious ones, like Bavaria and Saxony and stuff. Seriously, I'm pretty sure there were hundreds of 'em.
To be fair, it did last for almost 1000 years. Early-mid 800s to 1806. That is one hell of a lifespan for a political body that was lying to itself, eh? xD
Especially when, like this one, it started as a stupid snowclone.
Cub Foods stores still exist, right, just not where you happen to live? I was pretty sure there were some around here, along with Piggly Wiggly, the Roundy's chains, and Woodman's (among others).
That being said, paying for a shopping cart seems kind of weird to me. I mean, it is not as bad as having pay restrooms (which I think is almost as bad as something like a poll tax), but I wonder if it really saves the store much when people steal carts.
And yeah, you get the quarter back. They have all the carts chained up outside and you have to insert a quarter to unlock one, but as long as you chain the cart back up when you're done you can get your quarter back.
