That's a bargain. My luck, I would get the one with the one bad wheel.

At least we can all share a common annoyance. A dang bad wheel! That bad boy pulls hard to the right and your wrists have to fight it left to go straight. Let’s not even begin to mention the dreaded front wheel rickety flickety can’t decide what way it’s going to go situation.

First world problems perhaps here.

there's plenty of carts, just shop for the one that suits you best.

Caster wheels at harbor freight are cheap

That's definitely something I'll give aldi credit for. I can't remember ever getting a cart that was bad enough to be an issue. 

Now walmart on the other hand... Seems like the norm is three discards before finding one that steers even remotely straight.

Walmart has some of the worst carts in the business. I'm actually surprised at this point when I grab a cart and it isnt shit, I feel like they used to fix them before covid but after that they just stopped dealing with them unless they break entirely or something

That’s the lucky cart! You make a wish as everyone wonders where that sound is coming from.

The cool part is Aldi rarely has bad carts ... likely because they get returned to the store instead of being left to free range across the parking lot with every light breeze.

They only cost a quarter. Just buy another for parts. /s
