4 Reasons To Shop At ALDI The Next Time You Need Groceries

I think you only need 4 reasons to shop at ALDI. Anyone who's trying to save money and avoid takeout as much as possible will enjoy shopping there.

1. No Plastic Bags

It's mostly about budgeting, but why not save the earth along the way? You will not find any plastic grocery bags in an ALDI grocery store. To take your groceries away, you can either use the boxes they have in the back of the store, or your own re-usable bags. This not only eliminates plastic waste from ALDI, but gets shoppers in the habit of bringing their own bags when they shop anywhere.

2. German Snacks

Aldi is a German establishment, so you'll find snacks there you probably haven't tried before. Choceur makes scrumptious chocolate, Stollen cakes are delicious, and Benton's wafer rolls are probably the best you'll ever have. You can enjoy German food minus the cost of a flight there.

3. No Stray Shopping Carts

It always bugs me when I go shopping and see feral carts. Is it really that hard to put your cart away when you're done unloading? At ALDI, this isn't an issue! Shopping carts cost one quarter to rent, and when you return your cart, you get the quarter back. That's incentive enough to deter cart-ditchers.

4. Everything is Inexpensive

This is definitely the biggest selling point for most. ALDI keeps its prices very low in several ways, but one is by stocking the store in an unorthodox way. All the products stay in their boxes on the shelf, so you might have to open a new pallet yourself. This makes stocking and inventory much easier, cutting down on costs, and freeing up some space to lower prices.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
