BlueEyedLady,
I did neglect to acknowledge that the quarters for the buggies could be retrieved once you return them, thanks for that clarification as I should have mentioned it. As for the bags I have heard they charge for them but since I don't routinely shop there other than getting one item or two I don't need a bag and don't really know for sure. If though they do charge for them I just think it's better to include them for it's surely only a few cents and goodwill.
They, though, aren't the only ones that you find requiring the need to bring your own bag. Sam's Club provides cut up boxes if you want but there is no bags unless you bring your own, which I have never seen done.
Don't get me wrong I'm not against Aldi I'm glad to see that choice here it's just that I, personally, prefer to stick with the common name branded items for certain things. For Milk I like Purity and Mayfields but Mayfields is not available here but often I go with Sam's offerings and find that I personally like the taste of those better but it's a personal preference as with many other things. I do believe that much if not all of Aldi's offerings are quality merchandise and for many it does save them a lot of money and that's great that we have that choice here.
