What a fun read! Having recently moved to where there is an Aldi, I went with my son one day because he's a professional Aldi lover. The one thing he did tell me was leave a quarter in your wallet - just stick it in there someplace because you always have your wallet with you if you're going shopping. Reading about your quarter reminded me of times when I went to park my car at a meter that required a specific denomination of coin money and not having it and having to ask people on the street to break a bill or borrowing to allow me to park. At least now there are different options for paying for parking - Aldi's only takes a genuine quarter 😂
