If You're Over 60, Aldi Owes You These 13 Free Things

If you're over 60 and you've been shopping at Aldi for groceries, there's a good chance you've never claimed most of what it already owes you. Here's why. Aldi's entire business is built around cutting every cost it possibly can, and it does that on purpose, not by accident. No loyalty program to build or run. A skeleton staff, sometimes two or three people covering an entire store. A quarter you feed into the cart instead of paying someone by the hour to chase carts across the lot all day. A few thousand items on the shelf instead of the forty thousand you'd find in a full supermarket. Private label instead of name brand on almost everything. Every single one of those cuts exists for one reason: to keep the shelf price as low as it can possibly go without the store losing money. That's the trade Aldi made with you the day it opened. Less service, a smaller building, fewer choices, in exchange for a lower bill every single week.
