to each his own.....but I have yet to reap big savings by shopping at CostCo, or Sam's......your mileage may vary.....I am just willing to bet I can make my dollar stretch a hell of a lot further than you can shopping these smaller places....and get a lot more for that dollar!
I just got an offer from BJ's for a 60 days trial....I walked thru....and am wondering where are all the big savings...TIDE, Downy, DogFood, bread, milk, and other items cost a heck of a lot more than Walmart or ShopRite alone.....if I want to save more, I hit BigLots or DollarGeneral for detergents...less than half of what these bulk stores charge.....
I see no point in joining a membership, and then having to pay a higher price.....at what point does my membership fee do a wash-out?....how much do you have to spend before you start to see big savings.......TV's and Vacuums are the same price as KMart!.....big ticket items, and I start to see savings where?
for the most part at ALDI, its not nickels and dimes in savings.....it major dollars!
where else can you get eggs for .89 cents a dozen......
or bread for .85 cents.....
milk for under 3.00.....

But the problem is ...
... those 89-cent eggs come from hens loaded with hormones and antibiotics, and often fed manure and ground-up chicken parts.
That bread has 109 ingredients, including hydrogenated oils, high fructose corn syrup, artificial flavors and colors, and genetically modified franken-wheat.
And that milk comes from hormone and antibiotic-infused cows unnaturally fed corn, forced to pump out 10 times the normal amount of milk, with blood and puss running from open sores on their udders that invariably find its way into the milk product.
Penny wise, but pound foolish: You've saved a few bucks at the checkout, but you've sacrificed your health and well-being, setting yourself up for a shorter life and major diseases down the line.

who are you kidding?......you really need to have your head examined.....
that Milk is the same name brand found at CostCo and ShopRite.....
and bread made at the same location as name brand....your gonna tell me the bread made for Stroehmann is made with 100% pure ingredients, and organic eggs, and wheat fed cows.....get real!....
and EGGS.....unless your buying organic, at close to 4.00 a dozen.....they are all infused with chemicals of some sort.....
do you really think the veggies and meat you get from a retail grocer is not mass grown with major chemicals?....approved my the FDA!....
WAKE UP!......thats like a mention in another thread of everyone buying bottled water.....like its not supplied from the same garden hose we drank out of as children...and were still alive!
seems your one of those people who believe anything printed on the internet is true....and that it cant be put there unless it is true....and you must have gotten that info off the internet.....
next thing your gonna tell me is TIDE, which is sold at ALDI, just cheaper, is not the same TIDE found in CostCo.....
unless you have your own farm, with cows and chickens.......you have no idea what the heck is truely in the process of feeding these animals before they hit your table.....
I supposed you think a BigMac is made out of 100% pure beef!.....most people do....and then to watch a NightLine report of the amount of high protein meal worms that is added....What part of the chicken is Nugget?.....

... you are only proving my point.
You cannot compare the world of food that we grew up with to what we're eating today. Most of the chemicals and manufacturing processes that are poisoning our food today simply did not exist a generation ago.
And that's absolutely correct -- you should be looking only for organic (which is tightly regulated at the local level, not just the USDA, which has become notoriously lax in its standards), or from local farms with which you are familiar.
My point is that too many people save money on their food, at the expense of their health.
And incidentally, I'm not one of those who believes that everything on the internet is "true". On the contrary, as a professional journalist, I'm skeptical of just about everything. But as someone who's been researching and writing about health issues for nearly a quarter of a century for two television networks, I consider myself at least fairly well informed.

The article refers to studies. If it's written by a teenager, does it make it less true?
Overhere in Europe the same thing has occured. A German documentary has set the whole nation upside down because "organic apples" were sprayed with a copper solution.

It refers to "studies" ...
... but doesn't CITE any studies.
And even if it did, consider the source. Most university and medical studies are funded by -- pharmaceuticals and agri-business. What do you think their "findings" would be? Certainly not in favor of small farmers using organic practices!

Oh how this is so true. And is thus the reason why Alcoholic beverages are good for you one week, bad the next and the reason why smoking apparently kills 50% of smokers (And if that is so true, how come our population is so huge when upwards of 50% smoked in previous years?).
And here's the kicker: Big-Pharma funds those smoking studies (the ones they release weekly telling us that smoking is now 200x worse than previously thought) - people buy the "stop-smoking" products that only have a 1% success rate = $$$ for Big-Pharma - and they just keep raking it in, using that to fund more studies and make more money off food that is really dangerous that they have to medicate us with.
I watch what I eat. I'm not intolerant of lactose or gluten (After at least 5 different sets of tests lasting numerous weeks), but I tend to avoid it wherever I can. I don't drink milk, humans aren't meant to. I don't eat pork, my religious views and knowledge of that animal's toxic body are enough to put me off. I might eat red meats and chicken more, but I still like vegetables.
Stay clear of cheap junk people. Buy what is right for you and the animals that make that food for you. The fascination with cheap, abundant food is going to (and already has) caused too much health troubles around the globe.
Yes, off topic.
On Topic: ALDI has not penetrated our corner of this fair country as of yet. Although I'm quite sure they will soon enough. I look forward to seeing some more competition in the grocery chains and the new and perhaps better products this may introduce from the Euros.

And as far as COSTCO goes, watch out for their Kirkland branded dog food. It's made by Diamond Foods of South Carolina. This company has been on FDA dog food recalls quite a number of times in the past few years. They keep failing USDA inspections of their processing plant. Most recent recall was for salmonella contamination that people could get just by handling the food.
Kirkland does make a lot of nice quality items under the Kirkland brand name, but dog food is not one of them.

It amazes me that it didn't trigger you to dive into this thing considering your interest in things that are wrong and writing about them. English is not my first language, so it's more difficult for me to find more scientific evidence than for you. Perhaps an interesting challenge for you?
