I've done the Aldi thing with my wife, can't say that I've ever saw or considered buying ribs there. I will look next time. the only store that I know that you have to put a quarter in to get a shopping cart. In all fairness you do get it back when you return the cart.
Aldi are opening many stores here in South Florida. Shopping carts were available without any quarter deposit
. The ribs were marked fresh never frozen which attracted me. But when I had them at home I noticed a label stating "contains up to 12% water/salt". However when taking out of the Cryovac, there was very little liquid and tasted just as good as any Restaurant Depot product. At a $1.74 a lb, a great deal. By the way, Aldi owns Trader Joes so you will see similarities in the stores
