I didn't mean to insinuate that you were disputing my story, sorry if it came off that way....I was just adding more info to it.  I frequent Kroger, Meijer, and GFS.  When I'm in Cincy, I ALWAYS take a cooler and stop by Jungle Jim's.  If I lived there, that's where I'd go pretty much exclusively.  I love that place.  Great cigar and craft beer selection. :andy:


There is an Aldi in my hometown, and my folks frequent it.  They are currently clearing ground where I live now to build one.  I can't wait.  It's basically "the working man's Whole Foods".  I haven't heard anything but good about Aldi.

Of the pizza chains, Jet would be my favorite.  We have a few local and regional outfits here that we order from.  Like you, when I learned all of that, Papa John's never had a place at my table again.  Jimmy Johns can kick rocks too, and I hate that....loved the Gargantuan sub.

Aldi to me is nostalgia (in a strange way I would even say it's like a mom and pop store to me, although it isn't really). From my family's humble origins, Aldi was the store of choice during my teenage years.  For a couple years when we moved around Ohio, some of my fond memories simply involve 40 minute drives to Aldi sitting in my parents' car.  It's been many years since I left Ohio and I thought Aldi was just a memory.  It's crazy but I got real happy when I saw an Aldi store just driving through near where I live now.   Something just that simple.

I know what you mean about Jungle Jim.  It's like Costco mixed with an international store mixed with whole foods mixed with Kroger, but somehow better than all those put together.
