Brand X is double the price in the 'burbs because if I have never heard of it it must be great. Brand X is half the price in the ghetto because if I have never heard of it it must be BoBo generic. I've always found their produce suspect, but some bargains are to be had.

Well... obviously I do not know too much about "Brand X" and other things. I can say this. Of all "cheap" supermarkets, Aldi (we call it "Hofer" here, btw.) is the one with the most reliable product quality here, excluding bread and vegetables. And I remember the Californian red wines they used to offer very cheaply. Love that stuff (which is a bad thing for an European).

- Does BoBo mean the same in the US as it does here? Bourgeois Bohemien? The casual prosperous?
