A few years ago there was some Aldi anniversary, with accompanying editorial articles in the newspaper and stuff.
What surprised me was how many poor people expressed their gratitude to Aldi in the comment sections, saying that few companies did so much to enable them to life a dignified live by offering cheap but decent quality groceries.
- Roritharr 9y agoAldi is the main reason my (widowed & working) mother was able to budget our expenses to not let us know how little money we had, that in itself gives me the same feeling of gratitude. I've come to realize this later on in life when managing my own finances how much of an impact shopping at Aldi must have made to my mother. We had good homecooked food whenever possible, 90% bought from Aldi. I still feel like a failure sometimes when I check my bank statement and see how much I spend on food bought elsewhere.

- Roritharr 9y agoI do, but not as often as I should. Convenience and falling prey to marketing gets me to part with my hard earned cash too easily.
