An Update On My Aldi's Concern.
Well, I was able to speak with someone in Customer Service today. I found out that the phones were down for a few hours when I tried to contact them, due to construction. I will keep you posted on any update. I am suppose to be contacted by the supplier within 7 business days in regard to my concern of new packaging, same price but less ounces in the package. I was glad to see that there was someone willing to listen to my concern and connect me with someone that can address this concern. Thank you Aldi's.

Be Cautious When Shopping At Aldi's. I Found Them To Change Packaging. The New Package Is 2 Ounces Less Then Previous Packaging & You Still Pay The Same Cost As The Prior Package. Is That Deceptive Or A Slick Marketing Plan?
A few weeks ago I was at Aldi's shopping. I noticed the Vegetable Chips that I purchase on occasion had two different packages. I thought to myself, they are changing the packaging and it looked smaller to me. Upon further looking at the two packages I discovered the old package was 2 ounces larger than the new packaging.The same price for less product. Of course, I selected the old package product. I thought nothing of it until I went to purchase some the other day. They no longer have the old and now you can only purchase the new one at the same price one paid for the larger size product. I do not know about you but I think that is deceptive. I searched for the corporate office phone number and each time I called it is a busy signal.
They take pride in keeping costs down and you will see their advertisement on the side of their trucks.
This is what their new ad should state...
"Aldi's Truth # 1 We are good at letting you think you are saving money, but the truth is we are deceiving you. New packaging, our way to charge you the same cost for less product."
If you choose to sell less product then reduce the price to accommodate it. Do not go on deceiving the public with your advertising about how you keep costs down. Be truthful so the general public can expect the truth and then they can decide if they want to continue shopping at Aldi's.
Please note that Aldi's does pass on savings on certain items. I guess I would not be writing this blog today if they did not do this to a product I did buy. What about the cost of almonds? Why are they at such a high price point now no matter where you seem to go?

Quit Hating Each Other And Love God.
Why do I see more and more increase in man hating man in this world. Did not Jesus die for you and me so we can be set free not only on this earth but to be in heaven for all eternity? Why is there so much hatred in this world? It is as though there are outside forces trying to incite this hatred among the brethren. So many confess to be a Christian but by their actions it appears to be anything less than that, why is that? Could it be that we are right on the verge of Jesus coming to claim His people? I do not ever recall so much hatred in the hearts of man than I am seeing daily.
When I lived in a northern state and a southern state I attended churches that were multi-cultural and multi-racial and I never looked at the people as culture/color they were people that loved Jesus and that was it. Both of these churches were also non-denominational. Is not that amazing that Holy Spirit can bring together people from different religions in which they were raised and worship together as one body? That is so God. The religious chains are broken off the people and they are set free to worship Jesus as one body, the body of Christ.
Do you not see a person through the eyes of Jesus? You should, for in heaven there is not going to be discrimination of any sort. The people in heaven are those that called upon the name of Jesus to be saved and invited Him into their hearts to live so they can be set free forever. Pack up your views and thoughts on any sort of discrimination and be set free. Start looking at people through the eyes of Jesus and you will see things much more clear and you will find the hardness of your heart softening. Life is too short to count your days thinking about injustices done to you and turn it around and start counting the blessings that are in your life. Do not take for granted your blessing for the very blessing you take for granted is a prayer by someone else. Think about this gentle thought, are you thankful that you can breathe today? Somewhere out there is someone that is praying that they could breathe on their own without a ventilator or oxygen tank strapped to them wherever they go.
Maybe revival needs to come in a strong way to this country so the hearts of man can be changed.
