I like Aldi for staples like old-fashioned oats, cooking oil, and laundry detergent. But I can’t do all my shopping there because their meat is awful and their produce is very hit-or-miss. Typically I buy what I can at Aldi and get the rest at Giant, and if I’m getting fish, I go to Wegmans.
They are way popular around me nowadays. The way to go is pick up loss leaders from other places and then get what you want that is available at aldi and if its not available then get that from those other places to.
Exactly… People need to learn how to shop!
WO SIND MEINE ALDI SÜD FREUNDE?!
Having lived in Aldi Süd territory for half a year now, I can’t say I’m impressed with how it was hyped up vs. Aldi Nord. All the Trader Joe’s stuff is missing.
And Aldi Nord has the better apparel, which you sadly can only get in store (as far as I have seen).
Aldi has opened a few stores in Texas but is really going to struggle to compete with HEB. If all I had was Kroger or Safeway though, I’d take Aldi any day
I thought Trader Joe’s was Aldi? (Edit: I remembered correctly)
Also, don’t let yourself be deceived by the low prices, they are made on the backs of mistreated employees (making the Albrecht family billionaires and some of the richest people in Germany and the world).
Edit2: ah. Not that it makes any difference to non-Germans, but Aldi Nord has Trader Joe’s, this is Aldi Süd.
Edit3: do buy your food there if you can’t afford anything else, I’m not telling you to starve. Just to be aware.
It’s a least of evils thing in addition to the cost.
It is. They bought it
I hope they don’t krispy kreme themselves.
May I ask the back story?
Rapid expansion fueled on debt that went unpaid followed by rapid contraction
And products that couldn’t compete with better mom and pop and small chain products. They were here at one time. Now they are not. A true win for the customer.
Fine with me. Can’t be worse than Kroger.
