Description
Chelsea’s love of Aldi inspired her to start an Instagram fan account where she posts about her everyday shopping at Aldi as well as Aldi’s famous special buys. Though she was first introduced to Aldi as a kid when her parents shopped there, she initially didn’t shop there as an adult. She then got reacquainted with it a few years back, and it didn’t take long for her to get hooked. And only a matter of visits, and seeing the cost of a cart full of groceries, before her husband was on board as well.Aldi sometimes gets a bad rap in the US. In Europe, where Aldi began, it’s just a nice grocery store chain. Europe doesn’t have airplane hanger size grocery stores, so everything is small. But in the US, it feels different and to many people, different is scary.We give Chelsea some rapid fire Aldi Q&A. Listen to the podcast to hear her answers:What is the best thing you’ve ever bought at Aldi? Weirdest thing?How many different Aldis have you been to?
