Top three reasons to shop at Aldi: You love food; you hate overpaying for food; you have a quirky nostalgia for shopping for food in 20th-century Europe. There’s no nonsense in this cut-price cousin of Trader Joe’s, evident in the fact that you gotta BYO bags and pony up a quarter to rent a shopping cart. But it’s worth it when you cram that cart full of smoked salmon, prosciutto, European dark chocolates, brioche and brie, then look at your receipt and wonder (happily) if the cashier forgot to ring up half of it.
