It's been an interesting experience trying to shop for groceries here in CA on a very tight budget (husband is in school FT and I haven't been able to find a job yet) - we were going to Aldi's for a while but the selection is limited and lately the quality has been very questionable. Sadness!

(I visited the in-laws in TX over the new year though and they took us to Central Market. Oh my goodness that was quite an experience.)

 

We go Walmart just purely for cost even if the quality isn't amazing

It's the stuff we end up getting. I'm sure other things are not too bad, but when you have 5 to buy for it is never under $70 

 

Ahhh that makes sense!

Stores here are, at most, 6 a.m. to 11 p.m.  I miss the days when they were open till midnight or even 1 a.m. Look at chewy.com and save yourself the hassle. Or, regarding online shopping

I get some things from Chewy but not all as it is still cheaper at Walmart or Chewy doesn't carry what I want. Yes I miss the Open 24hours of Walmart. It was that way when I moved here and it was

I don't care for Aldi's. Went in there and nothing worth it for me.

99 Ranch Asian Market- for all our fresh green veggies, carrots, rice

Walmart Neighborhood Market- for some veggies in between visits to the Asian Market and broiled chickens sometimes

Tom Thumb- for the pork shoulder

Aldi- for the lower sodium bacon

In that order

Sam's smacks of Walmart.

I like Costco for their monthly specials and high quality.  Hard to resist buying more than what I went for.

The only Buc-ee's that I ever went into, the bathroom was the worst disaster ever.  Turned me off.

07-20-2007 = Phoned Immigration Officer; got WAC#; where's NOA1?

09-25-2007 = Touch (first-ever).

09-28-2007 = NOA1, 23 days after their 45-day promise to send it (grrrr).

10-20 & 11-14-2007 = Phoned ImmOffs; "still pending."

12-11-2007 = 180 days; file is "between workstations, may be early Jan."; touches 12/11 & 12/12.

04-29-2008 = Fiancee's 4-min. consular interview, 8:30 a.m.; much evidence brought but not allowed to be presented (consul: "More proof! Second interview! Bring your fiance!").

05-05-2008 = Infuriating $12 call to non-English-speaking consulate appointment-setter.

05-06-2008 = Better $12 call to English-speaker; "joint" interview date 6/30/08 (my selection).

06-30-2008 = Stokes Interrogations w/Ecuadorian (not USC); "wait 2 weeks; we'll mail her."

07-2008 = Daily calls to DOS: "currently processing"; 8/05 = Phoned consulate, got Section Chief; wrote him.

08-07-08 = E-mail from consulate, promising to issue visa "as soon as we get her passport" (on 8/12, per DHL).

Maybe it's a regional thing but MOST, not all, things I have purchased from Aldi is pretty good. Their fish selection here is excellent and it's my go-to place.

Yeah, I like Costco too but the closest one to me is too far. Word is they're supposed to be building one closer but I haven't seen anything yet.
