ALDI at 2417 West Park Row Drive, Pantego, Texas.

Pros: Good prices on groceries, but most of the best prices are on unfamiliar brand names. Some are winners and have become favorites, some are not. Be sure to bring your own grocery bags for cost and convenience, also, have a quarter ready because you cannot get a grocery cart without one.

Cons: No motorized carts for handicapped shoppers, even inside the store. Sometimes the sales circular advertises something yet, the item is not in the store at all. Worst of all, it seems all the fruit we buy at this location begins to spoil almost as fast as we walk out the door with it.
