Just a bit of trivia; when I was at TJ the other day with my Aldi bag, the clerk told me that when they were in training, they were told that the founders of TJ & Aldi were brothers; one wanted an upscale-type of store and the other didn't!
Brian, the Aldi is just a little bit north of the TJ on Mallard Creek; across from the HT (the second one on Mallard Creek...except, I think that it is Prosperity Church at that point.
Thanks S/B. Yeah, I'm familiar w/ Trader Joes and love them. I've just never been to one in NC. I'm not too far from the one on Rae Rd. and need to get over there soon. I hear they have a decent red wine called three buck chuck ? In Maryland, you couldn''t buy beer and wine in grocery stores, so I never tried it.
I was complaining about prices of groceries, (Oh no!!! I'm becoming my parents) and two people mentioned Aldi's so I think I'll try them.
Brian, what chips do you mean ? I've always liked the toasted sesame stix.
Location: Some got six month some got one solid. But me and my buddies all got lifetime here

I've been buying from Trader Joe's for years & from Aldi even longer. I don't like everything at Aldi, but I don't like everything at any store (except Trader Joe's, so far). Well, now wait, I lie. I tried some tofurkey, out of curiosity. That was nasty.
Have you had the chips with the flax seed?
I had the tortilla chips with the flax seed and those are great!!!!
Chicubs: I know about that Aldi but there's one a few minutes away from me at Concord Commons, next to the big Walmart. I've never been in it though.

You're welcome, Doorway, LOL, well, then I beat ya to it.
I have several of TJ's thermal bags & plenty of freezer packs, so even in the heat of summer, I can drive to Charlotte occasionally, do a stock-up at Trader Joe's & hit some retail that's not out here & go home & everything will be fine when I get home.
