I never understood Aldi. Maybe I've just got a bad Aldi, but I was the opposite of amazed when one opened near me. I don't know what people are raving about. Yeah, it's cheap... and it's cheap. Not bad or anything, but the hype seems odd to me.
Whereas Trader Joe's is relatively inexpensive in contrast with the competition, and the quality is really good.
I've really taken a liking to Grocery Outlet, which is a grocery store chain where a lot of overstock and discontinued items end up, but it's far better then 99 Cents Only. Their wine selection is pretty good as well. I find a lot of the same stuff there I used to buy at Von's and Ralph's for a significant amount less. These days I'm shopping primarily between Grocery Outlet and Trader Joe's, and sometimes at Sprouts.
