We don't have a storage issue but admittedly our kitchen is pretty large, we have drawers that are empty.
Some how having a destination/purpose makes the exercise seem more meaningful. It is 18 miles RT by bike. Aldi on 466a is slightly 'off campus' so the cart is out.
We eat out once to twice a week.

Aldis does not own Trader Joes (or vice versa). They are two separate companies independently owned. The owner/CEO of the company that owns Aldis is related to the owner/CEO of the company that owns Trader Joe's but those companies do not share revenue, shares, officers, boards, offices, responsibilities, etc. etc. etc.
Thinking they're the same or related would be like me saying I have a cat, and my sister, who doesn't live in my house has a cat, therefore we are co-owners of two cats.
