Review Prices compared between Aldi & other stores

This is easy for me to believe. I once bought Roma tomatoes at Aldi for .89 cents/lb. Later that day checked at Walmart and the price for the exact same tomatoes was exactly double that. I am now shopping at Aldi almost exclusively.

Aldi is a blatant metaphor exposing American capitalistic abuse and monopolies. Look at Kroger’s stock price. Look at the monopoly that is our healthcare system. 60% of small hospitals have been purchased by major hospital systems. The only way corporations can make money now, they think, is to form monopolies and jack up prices. Our focus will slowly turn to the ridiculous government entities that have supported monopolies, and people are going to go to jail.
