No More Digging for Quarters at Aldi

If you have been to Aldi, you can feel the pain. A few years ago, I had heard a lot about Aldi and figured I would give it a shot. No one warned me about needing a quarter to unlock the shopping cart since I was focused on all the healthy food options and saving money.

My Experience at Aldi

I pulled up at Aldi with no bags and NO quarters. Walked up to the store to get a cart and couldn’t figure out what the deal was until I saw someone else popping a quarter in like a pro! I dug in my purse, but no quarter. I went to the car and again, no quarter! So, I bummed one off the next person that walked up. Ha!

Don’t Judge

Sadly enough, the embarrassment from that one day didn’t keep me from occasionally forgetting I needed my quarter. Thankfully those times, I was able to go back to the car and find one. Although, a few times I had to look under the seats to find one. Don’t judge. A mom’s got to do what a mom’s got to do! I’m sure you have some change under your seats too!

Jess CoRafty

I was scrolling on Etsy one day and came across JessCoRafty. I actually laughed out loud when I saw that she had keychains specifically for Aldi. Not that the idea itself was funny but because I remembered that embarrassing day and thought how PERFECT to have a keychain like this. There must be a lot of others who have forgotten their quarters too!
