This explains why you must pay a deposit, or pfand, when you pick up your shopping cart, which is refunded upon its return. Shoppers are encouraged to bring their own bags; Aldi does have plastic bags, but customers are charged for them \u2013 another German practice.<br><br>Aldi, a no-frills supermarket, carries standard grocery items, but many of them are European brands. Its house wares are a hit, but as regulars at Aldi know, you can\u2019t depend on finding items from one week to the next. At Christmastime, Aldi is the best place in town to find traditional German holiday treats, such as mulled wine, or Gluhwein, and chocolate advent calendars.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ub-content-toggle-accordion\" style=\"border-color: #f1f1f1; \" id=\"ub-content-toggle-panel-block-3873acc9-59ee-4c36-9a9e-e6f326681ca7\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-ub-content-toggle-accordion-title-wrap\" style=\"background-color: #f1f1f1;\" aria-controls=\"ub-content-toggle-panel-3-a1dd9d52-aecf-44fc-b1da-fd44815c2997\" tabindex=\"0\">\n\t\t\t<p class=\"wp-block-ub-content-toggle-accordion-title ub-content-toggle-title-a1dd9d52-aecf-44fc-b1da-fd44815c2997\" style=\"color: #000000; \"><strong>Asian Groceries<\/strong><\/p>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-ub-content-toggle-accordion-toggle-wrap right\" style=\"color: #000000;\"><span class=\"wp-block-ub-content-toggle-accordion-state-indicator wp-block-ub-chevron-down\"><\/span><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div role=\"region\" aria-expanded=\"false\" class=\"wp-block-ub-content-toggle-accordion-content-wrap ub-hide\" id=\"ub-content-toggle-panel-3-a1dd9d52-aecf-44fc-b1da-fd44815c2997\">\n\n<p><strong>ASIA MARKET<\/strong> (2400 YEAGER ROAD, WEST LAFAYETTE)<br>Asia Market caters to multiple ethnic palates.
