While a mega merger between two of America’s largest grocery chains is snarled in regulatory red tape, a smaller European entrant is eyeing a major expansion in the US.
Yes. For the items they carry they are generally much cheaper. They minimize all unnecessary costs like marketing and packaging, encourage self checkout and using your own reusable bags. Their stores are spartan and they sell box/can goods right out of bulk/pallet packaging so that also saves some logistics cost.
I live in a HCOL area (for the Midwest anyway) and while you can’t get everything at Aldi, you’d pay 1.5 - 2 times the price buying similar food at a regular regional supermarket. You’d probably pay 2 or 3 times the price if you did all your shopping at a Gucci place like Whole Foods or Sprouts.
Is Aldi truly an affordable/low cost store? I’ve never seen one before.
More affordable than Walmart, or whatever your local hypermarket is. And with better quality stuff too
Wow! Thanks!
Both of your statements are false.
I encourage people to see for themselves rather than let losers on the internet dictate their decisions.
I’ve seen for myself. It’s cheaper, has better quality items, and much faster to get in and out of.
It depends on the location. Like any other grocery chain, the prices vary from one store to the next. They have great chocolate bars though.
