vegan columbus: vegan living in central ohio

Aldi, a German chain, is short for "ALbrecht DIscount". They offer only the store brand plus occasional specialty items from national brands. They have been criticized for quality, but if you are dissatisfied they have a "Quality Double Guarnatee" meaning that they replace the product AND give you your money back. I've never had to do this yet.

Their website also has a vegan and a vegetarian meal planner complete with recipes and nutrition facts! There are about a dozen locations in Columbus as well as Newark and Heath and sundry otherplaces. Enter your zipcode in the top right corner of the meal planner page to find the one closest to you.
