I like shopping at Aldi because it reduces the paradox of choice. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Paradox_of_Choice https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Paradox_of_Choice Less choice, less time spent in the supermarket. I buy 90% of my weekly groceries there and it takes me less than 15 minutes to be out of the door. The remaining 10%, I buy at different shops as those are really specific items that Aldi does not carry. I like the low prices and the efficiency of the checkout process. Anecdote: I have noticed a saving of approximately 15% compared to when I was shopping at the competitor's stores.

>I like the low prices and the efficiency of the checkout process. I especially liked standing in line for five extra minutes while the customer in front of me demanded they pay a different (lower) price for their frozen pizzas because, they said, the pizzas were in the wrong spot. They eventually got the lower price. Woo Aldi. I hope they're kicking Temple Grandin a percentage. It's hard to shop at their stores without feeling like cattle being moved from one place to another. (But 15%! What a deal!)
