Twins separated at birth?

As you know, I like Aldi.  On Sunday, Staci and I needed to pick up some ingredients to make a dish for some friends that just had a baby.  We stopped by after church to so we could be done with errands and do whatever we pleased for the rest of the afternoon.  As we were checking out I think I ran into our twins that were separated from us at birth!  See my thoughts below...


  1. They were two young married people who were shopping together.  Staci and I almost always shop together.  It may not be as efficient, but it is certainly more fun.
  2. They were shopping at Aldi.  They obviously are conscientious  of how they spend their money.  I would probably prefer the atmosphere at Marsh, but I'm just not watching willing to pay a 30% premium for it.
  3. He was wearing a name tag.  It was one of those printed on label name tags that are also used for address labels.  We had just discarded ours before we walked into the store.  It was obvious to me they were on their way home from church.
  4. They went to Taylor University.  Taylor is the basically the equivalent to IWU.  We could have just as easily gone there as we did Indiana Wesleyan University.  I knew they were TY Alumni based on the license plate liner that was on their car.
  5. Speaking of their car, theirs was very similar to ours.  It was a compact import (Nissan), very similar to our Toyota Corolla.
  6. Lastly, after we left Aldi they went the same place we did.  We hit up the near by Wal-Mart, which is part of our shopping routine.  We stop by there to pick up the one or two things that Aldi does not carry.
This may not be interesting to any one else... I just thought all the external similarities were unusual.
