America's affordability crisis is putting Aldi in the spotlight

The affordability crisis is drawing attention to Aldi, the fast-growing budget supermarket chain.

Newlyweds Brittany Zwier and Frank Martinez are starting their life together looking for ways to save money.

Zwier, 32, and Martinez, 40, have an annual income of more than $100,000 — but are finding their dollars aren’t stretching as far as they used to.

The couple now buys groceries exclusively at the no-frills supermarket chain Aldi, where they say the prices are cheaper than at other stores.

“We’re just buying what we need right now,” Zwier said outside an Aldi in New Jersey.

They have stopped buying beef, which hit record-high prices this year as climate and import issues limited cattle supply.
