Re: JoAnn-"restructuring"
Unfortunately, due to being a slow news day, this Joann bankruptcy is getting a ton of news coverage. Probably not what they wanted or needed. There are too many ignorant customers who do not understand how bankruptcy works. They will think the chain is liquidating and stop shopping while they wait...

Re: ALDI to acquire Winn-Dixie
In the east, they do sell Hellmann's mayonnaise, alongside their own brand.

Re: Article: 'Target has a plan to take down Dollar General and Walmart'
Target also has a new enhanced food private label. It is called: Good & Gather SIGNATURE. So far I only saw this on shredded cheese. It appears to be a repackage of the old shredded cheese but the "thicker cut" versions are getting this SIGNATURE designation. That's not new, they've g...

Re: Target Self Checkout: Now 10 items or less
I'd rather have a basket only/no cart policy than a strict item limit.

Re: ALDI to add 70 new stores by next year
Except a Safeway will have a full service meat department bakery and deli and more name brand items (no one desires Aldi Cola or whatever it is). Well, I have a bottle of "Summit" Cola in my fridge right now :roll: But Aldi sells 2 L Coke too, it's one of their few name brand products. Ne...

Re: ALDI to add 70 new stores by next year
From what I've seen, they're not necessarily assigning somebody to watch over the self-checkouts. In other words, the one person assigned to registers may be expected to run a traditional checkout plus monitor the self-checkouts and respond to any problems that arise. But, yeah, the traditional Aldi...

Re: ALDI to add 70 new stores by next year
Does Aldi not have self checkout? I think I saw one with it (but it was not open when I was in the store as I explicitly remember going to the cashier)... Maybe not. Circling back to this comment from a couple years ago, Aldi is now evidently going all-in on self-checkout, at least in the Midwest. ...

Re: "Farm & fleet" stores
I'm most familiar with Fleet Farm. For decades, it was a family operation (hence the Mills formerly in the title), but was sold to private equity in the last decade. Although it's a decent operation, it has kind of a "jack of all trades, master of none" feel to it. The stores are like a ma...

Re: Natural Grocers -1.99 dozen eggs
The lowest price I could find in northern Minnesota for a dozen eggs yesterday was $4.99 at Aldi for the standard large white. They posted a sign in corporate typeface apologizing for the high price and noting that the reason is due to market forces beyond Aldi's control. They were well-stocked with...
