ALDI is a discount supermarket that employs a concept started in Germany in 1961. It achieves low prices thanks to a varied cost-cutting approach. Boxes are recycled to eliminate the need for grocery bags, employees are not hired to return shopping carts, and hand driers and motion-activated lights are used to make bathrooms more efficient. ALDI sells meats, beverages, low-calorie foods, cosmetics and assorted special products that may even include beds! Food stamps are accepted.
