Despite having the third-most locations, Aldi maintains low prices and high margins by keeping store footprints small (roughly 12,000 to 20,000 square feet compared to a traditional 40,000-square-foot supermarket) and stocking 90% private-label "dupe" products.

It's called the Free Market. Let the best grocer win.

The one near me is no longer in business. Neither is the one 5 miles away.

Let’s see that idiot mayor in NYC beat Aldi.

I’ve only shopped two different Aldi’s and it’s mostly crap food, lots of highly processed, additive filled, make you sick quicker. Also not much selection other than their brands.

when visiting riends in Texas. we were tired of restaurant food so decided to make our own and went to an Aldi’s. Three adult humans walked around the store and none of us could find a single thing to eat at any price.

Our very nice two-story motel had fulll kitchens so we cooked there. And of course there were good restaurants too. “Texas Steak House” was one. We have that restaurant in Spokane.. Terrific.

My wife loves Aldi. It is not a one-stop shop for all we need and she doesn’t shop that way. The products she buys there are the best price of anywhere in town. She also shops at Natural Grocers,Sprouts and a local chain,Brookshires, for other things we want. Most Aldi customers here hand off the 25 cent cart as they are leaving the parking lot to another customer going in “for free”. This keeps random carts from creating hazards in the parking lot and helps Aldi keep prices low. My wife has several higher quality thermal shopping bags she keeps in her car and reuses at Aldi and other stores. Aldi keeps prices low by keeping their SKU count low. You won’t find a dozen different kinds of Ketchup for example, just one or two. You will find fresh eggs less than any other place in town. The stores here are very clean and modern, and the checkout is super fast. Some of their other produce is good too, but she likes organic produce that she mostly buys elsewhere.

When I first started shopping at Aldis The logical streamlined approach to a food market approach impressed me and the prices in comparison to other chains was awesome. I cook for myself always and purchase basics chicken breast/beef patties/ground sausage/sausage patties/Tuna all of the other items needed to create a nice meal such as condiments and pasta along with breads and dairy/eggs are there in a small LOGICAL layout. Checkout is always quick and I keep quarters in the van along with two thermal and one big AlDis totes/bags. You save a fortune and I hardly see a ratchet or teen in the store as opposed to large chains. No ratchet or teens is a huge attraction to me...as I age my patience for frontally lobed challenged people is in very short supply. I do all my shopping there and on average I spend at most 200 dollars a month on average which I find reasonable for this day and age.

Aldi is a European family owned chain, same family that owns Trader Joe’s. Aldi’s is their dollar store brand, Trader Joe’s is their “fancy” brand for rich demographic areas.

If your town has a “poor” demographic, like say, it’s part of a big metro area, but it’s the bedroom community with no expensive stores or fancy restaurants, you get an Aldi’s there.

Between Aldis and Amazon my blood pressure stays extremely low as surprise interactions no longer occur.

Will admit to shopping Audi. My Dad introduced me to their stores. A bit of nostalgia and price is good for the purchases I make. Can’t find all of my shopping list there which is okay. Am a multi store shopper.

[SMARTY]

They don't have the fancy-shamcy, BS displays that some people are addicted to.

Who needs to pay for THAT?

[FreedomPoster]

I strongly prefer Lidl over Aldi. If you have them in your area, check them out. Great fresh croissants in the bakery.

We are getting one of those new Aldi’s which is supposed to open later this year. We shop Walmart and Publix. Publix is getting more expensive and “international” with all these new foreign brands and organic stuff. We go for the BOGOs on the product we do use.

[Sacajaweau]

I shop there all the time. It's right around the corner. Wagu ground beef this week...$4,99/lb. It's awesome.

All their meats are excellent and cheaper than anyone else.

[jmaroneps37]

Here in South Florida Aldi is the place to go. At least 15% cheaper on most items and their specialty ice for just 4.99 is better than every other except Mayfield.

I’m sorry to see our local Winn Dixie close this month and be replaced with an Aldi half it’s size, in about a year. I’ve heard that Aldi isn’t offering jobs to any of the ataff, some of whom I’ve known from 25 years. We don’t have many other local options, so I may be making frequent drives to Publix 40 mikes away.

[DeplorableTrumpSupporter]

Our beautiful Winn Dixie is becoming an Aldi. The store was a Sweetbay with a round front it will be flat instead and half the store will be divided. Winn-Dixie has another store that is staying a W-D.

Aldi is okay, but we like W-D, Publix and The Fresh Market...

[Red Badger]

We have four here!...............

I think I’m the only person who does not like Aldi.
