Title: Burial site in England; updated to Ricky's groceries and NALT's travels
Post by: Chechem on May 09, 2019, 04:51:28 AM
Thought to be the burial chamber of the brother of Anglo-Saxon King Saebert!
Being compared to King Tut's chamber.

Discovered between a pub and an Aldi supermarket, it is thought to be the burial chamber of the brother of Anglo-Saxon King Saebert.

You just never think to look for these things near an Aldi.  :D

I know.  Best thing I ever found near an Aldi was a parking space.  Prolly was right on top of the gold!  :lol2:

Best thing I ever found near Aldi was one of their buggy’s in the parking lot. I used it for shopping then returned it and got a free quarter.

The Aldi in Huntsville is across the street from WalMart, so WM price matches.

And they put your groceries in plastic bags for you...

And carts are free...

But I rarely shop at either place -- I get groceries at Kroger.

I actually like Aldi for a lot of products.  I also like the way they conduct their business.  Add to that - Wal-Mart stopped doing price matching in store.

I know most of you already realize this, but it's an annoyance of mine when people don't realize -----  Please never think you get free service/products at any store - every good/service is factored into the cost of the merchandise and flowed down to the consumer.  Yes, you have to rent your cart for a quarter at Aldi, and you have to bring bags or buy theirs for around a dime each.  They (which means you the consumer in terms of business) also don't have to pay cart pushers, and you NEVER see carts scattered across their lot like you do at Wal-Mart because people want their quarter back.  People who prefer to use cloth bags because they don't want plastics flooding the environment also don't have to pay for the bags added into their merchandise.

Me either.

But in a related story, WHY ISN'T NALT LOOKING FOR GOLD WHILE IN ALASKA??  He's tried bear hunting, salmon fishing, etc.  But why hasn't he looked for gold??

I figure the chances are about the same.  And he's likely better at taking pics of gold than of bears!

And isn't that NALT in the pic above??
 :lol2:

It does bear a resemblance.  Of course the hat is covering up one of the most distinguishing features to tell if it's NALT.

 :P
