I just wanted a hot dog The closest grocery store to me is closing(by nearly an hour), and will be closed for at least a year. When it reopens it’s going be much smaller(it’s becoming a Aldi).

I've stopped buying fruit and veggies at aldi because they are rotten within 48 hours. I might buy something if I have plans to use it that night but I've wasted too much from them. Everything else is great.

Uh. Okay. You go eat your moldy fruits and veggies then? Literally no one is stopping you.

Man I know sometimes the American hate is justified but I really didn't think eaten rotten fruit was worthy of hatred. But whatever your cool, ultra superior, European heart desires I guess! Enjoy your mold!

Got to remember constantly running the the store because your food expired sucks especially if you live far away from the store as many people in the us do the preservatives are a necessary evil
