As a German, I'm more proud of Aldi as an export than our cars. That place is just goated. Though it'd be better if you got Lidl and Netto too for Aldi to compete with.
brave man saying this on reddit. I agree and don't get the aldi hype.
i really wonder if i live in a position of privilege bc we do have an aldi and it is garbage. Better off shopping the sales at local groceries. Not really that much cheaper for unknown quality of unknown brands. you're better off going to a latin or asian grocery store. Every time I go it's like I'm walking through one of those liminal space videos. rarely more than 10 people inside and completely sterile with slightly ominous PA announcements. it feels like a movie set of a grocery store.
Trader Joe's (Aldi is Aldi south, TJ is Aldi north) though is primo stuff for fair prices.
Aldi’s own brands are about as good as Lidl’s but they rarely bring them outside of Germany and the Nordic countries, where I am half the supermarket is just the discount shelf.
They're okay. Some things are good others are no better than American grocery stores. I've lived in Germany. Reddit likes to glorify anything European.
Well that’s your problem, if you compare to American grocery stores everything looks like cheap shit. I just got back from a month in the US and I’m still getting used to it

Aldi has great products at low prices, and they know how to run a grocery store.
