Speakout
(Opinion ~ 08/24/22)
Has Aldi’s quit having an ad in the paper. It’s been three weeks since I’ve seen an Aldi’s ad in my Wednesday paper. I live in New Madrid County but there is no way I would drive all the way to New Madrid when I’m like three miles from Sikeston stores. I would just like to know if we’re supposed to get one and if we are, I would deeply appreciate getting that ad and on Sunday half of the time we don’t get the Dollar General ad. I don’t know why it’s being haphazardly done or if they have quit having an ad in the Sikeston Democrat. Thank you and have a good day.
