The key to patronizing stores such as Lidl, Aldi, and Trader Joe's is to shop selectively for the good prices they offer on certain goods and any really good items that you have enjoyed from those stores.

Not one  of those stores is a complete shopping trip.  

I have grown to love Aldi for fresh celery, carrots and certain other produce from time to time,  and comparatively  low prices on eggs, milk, butter, cheese, sour cream, certain fresh bread items.

However, I noticed after going  yesterday that our local Aldi has a higher price on eggs and certain other items than it did just two weeks ago.  Hello, inflation.  It's everywhere.

Well my other posts disappeared but i agree with a poster that LIDL has a Supply Chain issue.

last week i was able to get Organic, Free Range thin sliced chicken breast at $6.39 per pound. Wish i'd picked up more packages but with LIDL its sort of iffy...you just don't know...so if i like an item i go back for more.

They had italian cookies and pasta but they sold out quickly. the organic eggs, the cheese and the hummous trio excellent. The quiche are divine!!  i had the Quiche Loarraine...went in for more...gone. They're made by Hans Kissle from Haverhill, MA so i would guess they can be found at many grocers. i like the coffee varieties.

LIDL center aisles have some cool stuff!  i got Fench soaps (Olive Oil, Lavendar, Orange scent)  a set of packing cubes for $6,  a battery powered corkscrew , a Hummingbird screen print Spring Welcome Mat  - $5, T-Shirt Dresses,  Ceramic Knives (2 sizes w warranty)  mini daffodils, and their cut flower bouquets - can't beat the price $5 a bunch. 2 Beautiful bunches of fresh tulips!
