And while you're at Aldi, check-out their Fit&Active Fruit Bars, located at the checkout lanes. Good on-the-fly bike food for only .49 ea.
I especially like the cranberry & cherry.

I find it odd Aldi would sell a bike stand.

Went to my local Aldi. At first I did not see the stands. So if you are looking at your Aldi keep looking. Mine had a section for bicycles. They also had floor pumps, helmets and a pretty nice wedge bag on sale.
I grabbed a rack. Reasonably stable and strong. Not sure if I would torque down on a bottom bracket with it but I thing it is going to be more that sufficient for most repairs and maintenance. Certainly beats what I currently have which is nothing.
Kudos to the OP for posting about this rack.

Just used mine for the first time - worked great for lubing the chain and adjusting the derailleur

No, I picked one up a year or two ago. Don't use it very often, but when I do, it comes in handy (mostly for rare maintenance items like replacing cables, rear cassette, brake pads, etc.). You're right that they're not easy to find once in the store. They also seem to show up kind of randomly.
