Signs, Signs: New Grocery Store

25 cents charged
for use of carts when shopping
to prevent stealing

I've presumed on the reason
for a fee for use of the carts,
gleaning from my experience
of seeing carts elsewhere than
stores' parking lots and
inside the store.
Aldi is the only other store
in our town that does this.
Seldom having quarters handy,
I take my reusable bags to Aldi,
seeing that I buy only what
my bag will hold. 

I did a walk-through
to check the sign's trueness,
found it factual!

10 cents is the cost,
so far, cheapest of any
I've spotted elsewhere.

Are those 10¢ reusable bags the plastic ones? We used to have to pay 5¢ but I only shop where they are free. The reusable ones are usually 99¢

Aldi is the only such store in our area that does this with the carts. I've grown to like it. I find it frustrating when shopping at the regular grocery stores and folks just leave the carts loose out in the parking lot when they are finished. It's usually only a few extra steps to take it to a cart corral, but apparently many find this an inconvenience. We always take our own reusable bags, too.

By the way, want to say that I really like your blog header image - very pretty!

Thanks for commenting on my Brazil signs. Glad they gave you a memory to a happy time! :-)

Pondering about My Blog

I've been through quite a bit these past months that I haven't posted.  First, packing and moving and then unpacking . The first step of unpacking was my taking down boxes that were five and six boxes high.  About two weeks after I’d moved and was in the midst of unpacking, I developed horrendous pain in my ribs. I slathered on my gel I use to alleviate Fibromyalgia pain. Realizing that even that was not helping. Trying to make a long story short- Asked for pain pills No help; asked for another kind Doctor wanted to see me Went in- he didn’t understand why I was still in pain Sent me to get x-rays Diagnosis: compressed fracture in my 9th vertebra Cause: osteporosis Now on meds for that I’ve discovered that anytime I overdo, pain comes back, not quite full-blown, but enough that I must stop doing whatever I’m doing. That includes sitting at my computer writing. I wanted to bring my friends up-to-date; I’m pondering whether I should stop blogging altogether o
