I wish we had an Aldi close-by here. The nearest one is over an hour away, and it doesn't make much sense to drive that far. What types of things do you find coupons useful for? I generally buy storebrand items cheaper than coupon deals, and most of what I buy is "basics", not convienence foods. Also, I want to mention that where I live, there are $1 stores around that sell day-old bread from local bakeries for $1.00 even. It might be worth checking those out. Wow.

I do use coupons as often as possible, and try to buy things on sale to save money.

I was surprised and pleased to see that their expansion leads them to North America, as well. It's good to have some insurance that you are getting decent prices in the grocery and foods marketplace.
