Kroger's price gouging to pass on "inflation" to consumers has paid off, earning $466 million in Q2 2024. Its proposed merger with Albertsons faces FTC challenge over fears of a monopoly and job losses. Should consumers pay the price for corporate greed? #CorporateGreed
At this point I do 90% of my grocery shopping at Aldi, it’s the closest thing I’ve got to a decent local option. I’ll even pay slightly more for some of the specific items both they and Dillons have if only so I can avoid giving more money to fucking Kroger.
In this case it’s a name brand product (dishwasher pods) which are only more expensive by a few cents per unit. All the Aldi store branded products are priced affordably.

That’s the first time I’ve ever heard someone describing Aldi as a place to pay slightly more for something.
Where I’m from, Aldi was the absolute cheapest place to buy cheap groceries and their stores were super nasty and dirty.

I love Aldi! Those All Dressed chips are so good
