Grocery Variety

For most of their food shopping needs, Ithaca and Cornell students make a bee-line for Wegman’s. Some might pop over to the Farmer’s Market for some fresh produce, but few seem to take notice of Aldi’s while they’re there. It’s right before the farmer’s market, on Third St. off of Rte. 13.


It’s a smaller supermarket, stocked mostly with rough equivalent alternatives to leading brands. Selection is limited, but all the staples are there. There are even some non-food items: jackets, work pants, and some electronics.
You can take a look at some of the food aisles in the store I visited:




To load up at Wegman’s without breaking the bank, try buying store brands, making a shopping list and sticking to it, and most importantly, never go shopping hungry.
