Aldi's history

Sure, it's only from Wikipedia, but I'll bet it's mostly true. Very interesting read, plus this little nugget:

In the United States, Aldi often locates its stores in areas with cheap property, which is often synonymous with proximity to high concentrations of impoverished minorities. Aldi stores in many US states accept public assistance debit-style cards as payment.

Quite the understatement!

Gluttonous Monday

Drinking for 12 hours on a Sunday is not a smart move once one gets to my age. Needless to say, I felt a little off today at work. I thought it would be a good day to hit up McDonald's for lunch. Even better, I stopped at Aldi after work and bought a bag of chicken nuggets and bottle of BBQ sauce. It was a big, unhealthy, inexpensive dinner. Somebody's going to sleep wonderfully tonight.
