RE: Getting to Aldi, is 8th & Market within walking distance for you? You could just catch the Spur up to Fairmount.

+1 for the spur - there’s also an Aldi at 46/Market if the el is really that much closer than the spur and OP doesn’t want to transfer.

Came to say this about the 46th and Market Aldi. It's right at the station, you really don't have to walk anywhere and it IS that much cheaper. Online selections available on instacart aren't gonna compare to what's in stock. Even if you're supplementing what you can't find at Aldi with a quick stop elsewhere or a delivery service, shopping in person at Aldi is worth it.

Agreed, they tend to leave the least expensive option off of the instacart page. I can never get regular eggs on there, no parm cheese.. it’s a thing. In person is way better.

I just did took the Spur! Thank you for the suggestion. 8th St Station was a little confusing with all the separate lines and very low ceilings but I managed it. x

Oh man, 8th & Market's signage is absolutely garbage. All it needs is some basic line paths to follow, but that's too much to ask for some reason.

Broad Ridge spur of the BSL. Goes from 8th and Market through Chinatown then meets the regular BSL tracks at Fairmount.
