Sign of the times
I went to aldi's about a month ago and there was a Jaguar in the parking lot. Go today and there is a mercedes. They weren't old run down ones either but nice shiny newish ones. Couldn't help but chuckle.

Don't chuckle too much. My paid for summer car is a "shiny and newish" Audi TT Roadster. I shop at Price-Rite and Aldi's (always have) because I like to save money, not because I'm in debt or overextended.

It makes me chuckle too, because it shows that thrift can be an equal opportunity mindset
Gratitude.

That's why they can afford cars like that. They watch their money in other areas.
