Duane 150 Posted November 20, 2018 Report Share Posted November 20, 2018 The ribs and chicken combo is pretty good! Especially when they throw in a whole rack of ribs instead of a half rack! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Strawberry Moon 7 Posted January 7, 2019 Report Share Posted January 7, 2019 I've noticed wine is $9 a glass no matter where you get it at the Fort - even from the cooler in the trading posts. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And that's why we stock the bar before we leave home. I can buy 2 bottles of my latest favorite everyday red at Trader Joes for that. Strawberry Moon 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Our Aldis are having issues keeping the shelves stocked. They have gotten more and more popular and more crowded lately. Good for their bottom line, not so good for the shoppers. You can definitely save $$$ by shopping there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They have some pretty nice specialty items at Christmas time We've been shopping there since they first arrived in Tampa maybe 4 years ago. Their pricing is odd though. We have 2 near our house, they are in the same zip code. One has eggs for 50 cents a dozen, no limit and milk is $2.87 Other one eggs are 55 cents limit 3 dozen and milk is $2.50. I could see if they were in different counties or 15 miles apart, but these are maybe 2 to 3 miles apart. But they are still our go to stores. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dblr....Rennie 224 Posted January 8, 2019 Report Share Posted January 8, 2019 Lidil's has a bakery department and we have been able to get some really good prices on meats there, usually just on their weekly specials. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The one we go to has been crowded lately. I'm hoping that will change with the new store they are building in our town. However even when they are crowded they don't waste anytime opening up more checkouts so things still move pretty quickly. Lidl has been starting to build around here. One effect it has had is older Aldi stores being remodeled and increased in size. We are just waiting for one to get close enough to us to see what they are like.

twiceblessed....nacole 433 Posted January 9, 2019 Report Share Posted January 9, 2019 We have an Aldi's in our area. For us, we only go there every few months to purchase some beef that we freeze. Other than that, haven't been blown away by the store near us. Lidl is opening two stores within 5 miles of us. One this next weekend (I think) and the other, a few weeks after that. It will be interesting to see exactly what the store is. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

A lot of times when a new Lidil opens they mail out their add which sometimes has a $10 off coupon if you spend $40 or $50, if they have some of their good meat sales and combine it with the coupon it is a nice savings. The adds at the store do not have the coupon, the first time we went we forgot the add we received but the cashier looked thru his drawer and found a coupon for us to use which we thought was very nice.

A friend works in Raleigh and she said they opened one there last summer. My nephew lives just above Charlotte and they opened one not far from him. I see member tags with NC, DE, and GA saying they are there or opening. I hope they hit FL soon. Then again, Aldi was in parts of NY long before they came to FL. I have a friend that is in Europe now, and she found an Aldi in Austria, but they are called Hofer there. Had the same logo on their signs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Unfortunately the closest Aldi is about 25 miles away so we don’t shop there often. But occasionally I crave some German treats from my childhood and I can always find something there to satisfy my craving. But I always forget to bring sacks. And a quarter.

I have a couple friend (not in our area) who shop at Aldi and really like it. I think it store is different... which makes sense as I know that's how it is with the Publix down here (they don't all carry the same stuff). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ThemeParkCommando 81 Posted January 9, 2019 Report Share Posted January 9, 2019 It will be interesting to see if Aldi or LIdl can crack the HEB bubble in my neck of the woods. HEB is a great chain, and South Texans are fiercely loyal to it. The Aldi's chain is just starting to come into HEB territory. The closest Aldi's to me is in Pflugerville, which is still a 2 hour drive. HEB managed to push out the other major chain grocery stores in San Antonio. If you don't shop HEB, you go to Walmart, SAMS, Costco, or the high end ones like Trader Joe's and Whole Foods. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
