Around here, we also have Save-a-Lot, that has a similar business model to Aldi and thus similar price points… but the Save-a-Lot stores always seem to feel lower-class inside. Maybe it’s location, or maybe the handful of prestige items like the dark chocolate bars serve to elevate the whole store-- I’m not precisely sure.
