In case someone doesn't know what Aldi is, it's a German supermarket chain that stands for "Albrecht's Discount". Considered to be the father of discount grocery stores, Aldi today span the globe with more than 4000 stores offering discount foods for all.
Anyways, I just found out that one of the founders, Theo Albrecht, has passed away a couple of days ago. I admit I don't go to Aldi that often because of my driving distance to one, but I admire any man who has made success out of nothing through thrift. He may be gone, but his great legacy will endure, and many of us will still benefit from it.
Interestingly enough, I didn't know that Aldi also owns Trader Joe's. There's one in town as well, but I've never gone to it. I just might do that one day, just to see what that's like.
RIP Mr. Albrecht

I LOVE Trader Joe's, but unfortunately they are all far away from me.
