Our current Aldi’s is next door to Publix.
They are opening a new one in a closed Winn-Dixie store that’s practically next to WalMart.................
I’ve never seen a BOGO, or any kind of sale at all, at an Aldi’s. They have comparatively low prices all the time through efficiency and limitations, as described above.
I was referring to Publix which has BOGO ‘sales’ all the time. But they don’t really save you anything. They just figured out a way to get you to buy two items.................
Hilarious. I actually sold 2 successful companies I helped start. How does pointing out correctly that by European laws, cashiers must have chairs, show I’ve never run a business?
This is kind of fun. You seem really upset that I simply pointed that fact out. In all my years on FR this is the strangest exchanges I have had. Someone attacking me because I merely pointed out the fact that where they are based requires chairs, so they probably look for consistency in operations.
When they first came to town, I heard that their products were from lowest the lowest bidders.... they can keep them. Have not been in their store yet.
I don’t “seem really upset” at all — hahahhahahahaha. You just don’t like being called out for your stubborn insistence on a pet theory with no citation to back it up.
It’s inconceivable that Aldi would not test the metrics of its business decisions not only in the American marketplace, but also regionally, locally, and by each store, to find out what delivers the most efficiency.
Style ,or nostalgia for Europe are most definitely not in evidence in any part of their operation.
Everybody’s products are from the lowest bidder.........
How convenient! My Publix is 5 min drive.
Publix doesn’t make you buy two though, you can purchase just one of the item and it will ring up half price. Unlike Winn-Dixie and Kroger who require you to buy two items.
Sad, but I have no doubt you are correct. It is why some areas become “food deserts”; it becomes impossible to make a reasonable profit for the expense of keeping the location open.
