There's an Aldi in Brattleboro. Not a fan myself.

Aldi is part of the Trader Joe’s family and while some think of it the bland white bread supermarket there are often times some real nice items to be found at a good price. Allot of overlap with traders but in different packaging in many cases. There’s a couple lines of vino that get good marks.

More supermarkets the better in my opinion.

I really dig the good scene in VT but sometimes just sometimes the wallet wants a good price point.

Actually, the Aldi in the US and Trader Joe’s are owned by separate companies! There’s a long story, but in Europe, Aldi is actually two different companies, depending on the country: Aldi Nord and Aldi Sud. Aldi Nord owns owns Trader Joe’s in the US, Aldi Sud owns Aldi in the US.

Aldi is ok. Now if we got a Lidl with their bakery, I’d be in heaven.
