- After hearing about Aldi for so long, I finally get to visit my first store! We don't have Aldi in Alaska and it's not a store we've ever been to on any of our trips, so I was excited to experience it for the first time.
My thoughts? I LOVED IT! From their Advent calendar selection, the prices, and the variety of items they carried, I thought it was a great store, especially considering that the store itself wasn't huge. This is definitely a store I would visit if we had one near us.
What are your thoughts on Aldi? Do you love it? Have you been to one before? Let us know in the comments below!

Me as a german, watching this video and reading the comments. Why I am so obsessed with reaction of german discount supermarkets around the world? xD
Haha! Thank you for watching :)
me too
Aldi got me and my family through some tough financial times. Not sure what we would have did if they where not around. But we loved it so much we still shop there !
As a european (I'm from the UK) I found this video quite funny, over here we bag our shopping in pretty much all shops and almost every shop has the system of putting coins into the trolleys. Great video!
i guess it's kinda off topic but do anyone know of a good place to watch new tv shows online?
@Anders Ronan flixportal :D
@Dwayne Kristopher thank you, I signed up and it seems like they got a lot of movies there :D I appreciate it!!
@Anders Ronan happy to help :)
It's a german brand. Aldi was found by the Albrecht brothers. They called their Shopmfirst ALDI, bacause of ALbrecht, DIskont. thats, why ALDI and Lidl, are called Diskounter in germany. thats stands for low price supermarket. The Albrecht brothers had later split of, because one of them didn't want to sell cigaretts. so we had after than Aldi Süd and Aldi Nord. So one Aldi in the south, one in the north. the american aldi is Aldi Süd (south) and Aldi Nord is named Traders Joe in the States.
If you like chocolate, i can tell you, my favourit is filled with white mousse au chocolate. I'm addicted to it. hmmmmm🤤
I’d never heard of Aldi. When the video started and you were all excited about going there, I was like, ooooh, is this some secret Disney resort/place I don’t know about? 😂
Aldi is not bad. In Germany, Aldi has regional products from manufacturers in the immediate vicinity in its range.
That not only saves transport costs. You can advertise regionality.
Aldi is German, so a lot of the products are from Europe and better quality than your typical U.S. supermarket. I bought the cheese advent calendar...and almost all the cheese is already gone. LOL It's definitely my favorite place to shop.
Odd fact, the checkers are timed as part of their job, so getting through the line is usually super speedy!
they do the offnamebrand stuff in germany too, but its just another name on the same product most of the times. they even produce most of the stuff in the same factory
Adam, Aldi also makes a cheese Advent calendar. I'll give you a moment.
So funny! I recently had my first Aldi experience too, the prices blew me away compared to coming from Alaska! I'm loving all the seasonal stuff they have too, like turkey stuffing chips, mmm.
We love Aldi in Virginia! I have to drive 45 min to get there but it’s worth it. I save money even though I have to pay for gas! I can fill up the cart for under $100!
You have to join the Aldi Nerd community on Facebook. Best way to find out what you have to try. ( over a million members) where is the ranch?
Also cocoa dusted truffles are the best thing ever!
Best thing about aldi is so many items are imported from Europe and many of their brands are superior to name brands!
I’ve been going to Aldi since I was a kid and I’m 41! Lol I go every Wednesday to shop their AOS aisle of stuff. Always finding unique things and food. Their candles are amazing and only $3.99. Same quality as Bath and Body!!
Yes! LOVE the candles!!
I found your vid here on youtube and I loved how excited you were to go to Aldi. I'm in the UK and I have an Aldi 5 mins drive from my house. Yes, it's great. So cheap. It's my fave supermarket. Yes, we bag our own shopping LOL!
Aldi is AWESOME! Now... 20 years ago, I wasn't a fan. It was a "stop there if you need something last minute - or European/specialty treats. NOW... It's our main grocery store. The quality is superb (even the knock-offs are tremendous). For us around HERE their prices are low, so I can imagine how shocked you must be! Though... all the Aldis around us sold out of all the Advent Calendars within 15 minutes of the stores opening the day they went on sale. I'm amazed that one had so many!! ANY! LOL Thought - the TP... not so much. Willow Soft yes, Willow... NO LOL You guys are awesome, I'm liking and subscribing!
'Knock-offs' are often just the same stuff in off-brand packaging, so you're not paying extra for the name.
Aldi is used to tiny margins on stuff, sometimes just making cents per unit (or less); they live off of huge volumes and super-streamlined delivery chains. Probably one of the best examples of German efficiency at work.
@@Llortnerof In short, Aldi is used to the german grocery market, where you basically have to work like that to survive. That's the market *Walmart* went into and lost over 3 billion bucks within a few years before pulling out because the competition was too hard for them.
@@magni5648 Pretty much, yes. Given that they're one of the big players on that market, they kinda have to know how it works.
Though Walmart also thought they could flaunt workers rights and market regulations and Germany told them in a cold, commanding tone that no, they could not. "The American Way" doesn't work in Germany. The German way works just fine in America.
The one thing about Aldi I don't like is when you see something and you say "oh it's not on my list I'll come back and get it some other time" well you go back say a week and it's not there. So if you see something that you really love BUY IT! Cause it's gone the next day. Just aheads up in case Anchroage gets an Aldi. :)
I like Aldi and Lidl because they have quality products in their stores
Fun fact: Many products are produced locally, as that reduces the costs for transport. And many products are made by brand name producers.
I love going on Wednesday’s, and head straight to the AOS (Aisle of Shame) where all the different things are ie: candles, clothing etc. The merchandise is that aisle change every week, so if you see and want it...grab it, might not see it again.
yees the german empire strikes back... with a nice Shopping experience and unstoppable prices
I am completely ADDICtED to Aldi who doesn’t love a shop with coffee and flour and then way random middle section of anything and every from garden to over toilet frames sorted
We love Aldi! Their bread is from Lewis Bakeries--Bunny bread and Healthy Life bread. They also have Zero Carb bread.
Me and my ex were dying walking around aldi seeing all the bootleg versions of name brands. I love it tho good deals
Many of the "bootleg versions" are made by the name brand producers.
Aldi has great imported chocolate from Europe. Yummo.
When you walked in, it was exactly like walking into Aldi in Australia
Also Aldi brand chocolate is amazing
I was a bit irritated. I think we enter the store on the right side and then turn left towards the cashiers. I think the product at the entrance are similar, though. Cornflakes, honey etc on the left and bread to your right side.
"Also Aldi brand chocolate is amazing"
Yes, it has a good quality. The Moser-Roth and Choceur brand is produced by the August Storck KG for Aldi exclusively, which is not very know under this name but the brands it's producing:
Merci, Toffifee / Toffifay, Knoppers and Werther's Original.
You guys don't be aware, but even the floor tiles are the same (size and color) as the ones in Germany!
Of course they are. And it's not for some top down branding reason (probably) but rather fora practical one: That faded yellow color really hides any smudges or dirt that may be on the floor
Love my aldi! Glad you got to experience it!
We are FINALLY getting one soon. I also live in Florida.
I love Aldi! That’s where I do my main grocery shopping!!! Hello from Springfield Missouri!
I love, love, love ALDI!! Didn’t know Ben had his own discount beer @4:45! 😜
Aldi was our go to in Michigan. It has really changed in the last 20 years, much better products, still using quarters though 😉
I’ve never known about the quarter in the cart! How fun!
The .99 store in Vegas does that.
It is just a way to stay cheap(er). You bring back the cart yourself, they do not have to pay someone to do it. They save wages, can offer items cheaper. BTW done in Germany that way since decades at nearly every shop that has carts.
Violett Vlogs The reason for that is simple actually: People don't litter the parking lot with carts when they have to spend a quarter (or 50 cents or 1 € here in Germany, depending on the store) to get the cart and get the money back when returning the cart to its place. This eliminated the problem of people leaving their carts all over the place here in Europe in a very efficient way.
Aldi rules! My go to store for groceries. ❤️ the Aldi brand foods, Aldi version of Cheerios better than the name brand. The only thing I don’t like is that in MD no alcohol sold in grocery stores so no beer advent calendar for me ☹️. However did get the cheese and coffee one 👍🏻
Aldi is the BEST! We do about 95% of our grocery shopping there. We usually just have to go to Kroger for about five or six items and I usually spend almost as much on those as I do the rest of my shopping trip at Aldi. I usually can get our groceries for the week for our family of five for about $60-$70 at Aldi. Those things you were seeing like a princess dresses and other toys or what they call Aldi Finds. New items are added every week and they last for two weeks or until they run out and they always change based on the season. On the Aldi app you can always see what things are coming up next. I make it a point to check the app every Wednesday to see what’s coming up next. I wish I could’ve yelled to you through the screen to get the peanut butter cups, because they are incredible and I will change your life. All of the off-brands that you see such as friendly farms and Perino and Savoritz are all Aldi brands and I think that those things are just as good if not better than national brands.
I love Aldis! Have fun❤️
I think it's so cool you and Sheri are in Florida with Auburn!
There was an episode in Germany where Aldi redecorated whole stores because the new shelves *looked* too expensive. Those new shelves had actually also had a good price, but Aldi payed a ton of money to replace them with the old stuff that looked cheaper.
we dont have aldi in new zealand but with the cost of living our government is finally allowing new competitors to come in. they are planning to open here shortly. i am excited for them to come.
In the uk we love aldi and the Lidl is magic
Aldi reminds me of WinCo except the shopping carts. I'm glad you enjoyed your first trip!
Glad you liked Aldi! We bearly got one maybe 2-3 years ago 5 min from my home which we enjoy going to
🙌🏽 there’s one near me! Definitely going today! I want to make a charcuterie board now 😆
The Moser Roth chocolat from ALDI is one of the best European chocolats, you can get. It‘s an ALDI brand. Most products are generics, mostly by the same companies, which produce the original. They use cheaper packaging.
Love you guys
What I like at ALDI exept the great prices are their special offers f.e. of tools. And they are not just cheap but in a real good quality as well.
I thought it was an interesting store when Auburn introduced us to it on her vlog, and my opinion holds!! Very interesting store!!
I have never been to Aldi either. We don't have them in Idaho. My daughter in Ohio loves it!! It was fun to tag along with you on your first trip. Now I know why she loves it so much!
I bought Aldi's beer advent calendar last year. Also got a wine calendar. They are so fun
Hi guys I'm a New Sub, u were recommended by Jessica Violet bn watching you guys for 2 days now, really enjoying ur Vlogs, Best Wishes from the UK 🇬🇧 xxx
I love Aldi!
Omg the cheese selection 😱 the wine, the advent calendars...... I live in a village in Ak and wish the ship stuff
I love their raisin bran😁
Im in the uk aldi one of my faverout supermarket
I love Aldi too😍 in Austria🇦🇹 Aldi is called Hofer😁
Love Aldi especially around Christmas when the German Christmas treats. Their "brand" named stuff is excellent.
Awesome you are 15000 subscribers. Congratulations.
Thank you so much. It feels surreal!
Love the whiskey cheese, the boozeberry is yum, the truffle cheese delish too! They also carry some tasty low carb bars.
I go to Aldi at least once a week! Lol
Very nice shopping trip to watch! I love Aldi! I enjoyed seeing all the goodies you were able to find. I’m adding a few of these to my things to my shopping list. I just started making shopping walkthrough shopping videos. I feel like We can learn a lot from each other. I like this style of video. I was curious if you could share any tips you may have for filming in the store? You presentation is lovely. I’d love to learn about good deals from each other.
I should have sent you a list! You could have been our Alaska Life personal shopper! I miss Aldi
Haha!! Next trip I’ll take orders in advance :)
Love there import goods good chocolate and beers from Belgium yummy Italian wine
They also pay their staff better than nearly all other discounters...
Aldi is a Swedish/German grocery store, so alot of their products are imported.
Aldi keeps their prices low by making you pay a quarter for a cart. This makes you want to return your cart so you can get your quarter back. This way, they don't need to pay someone to get carts.
Also, they don't give away free sacks. You need to bring your own bag, pay for an expensive bag, or grab an empty box off the shelf. Aldi is one of few stores who actually encourages you to take their boxes. This way, they don't have to break them down and recycle them or throw them away. These are more ways they are able to keep prices low.
Aldi was founded on the principles of the customer doing a little more work so they can save more money.
Don’t hate on Sugar Cookie Toast crunch! It’s so good. We got the Aldi cheese advent calendar last year. Favorite grocery store
as a German your reaction to our supermarket is very amusing 😅
Haha! You have a wonderful supermarket :)
I shop at Aldis every week! It’s the best and SO much cheaper!!
Love their wine
I like that you are amazaed by standard Toilettpaper. That is the normal size here in Europe. Who would need it bigger.
Looks like ALdi us uses lots of the products it has in Germany (like the chocolate)
Funny video. :) As a german it´s a normal thing to go to a Discounter (Aldi or Lidl).
U have to know u have a second Aldi in the US named "Trader Joes" there is a Vid out there about this. take a reaction to ( That Aldi is Secretly Two Different Stores.)
It reminds me of Winco!
For me Aldi is synonymous with the UK. I have friends who live there and I get so excited to go to their grocery stores. So I think aldi and have fun memories. Also they have food stores in the UK the only sell frozen foods - not like TV dinners but prepared meals and frozen meats/veggies. It’s very cool
aldi is german
I love Aldi Adam
Did you know.. Aldi and Trader Joe’s are one in the same! Same company
Ooh, I did not know that!
It's both ALDI, but not the same. Trader Joe's is ALDI NORD (Theo Albrecht) and ALDI is ALDI SÜD (Karl Albrecht). both were brothers. They divided ALDI in the 60th(friendly).
I lay out my bags in the boot of the car and pack straight into the bags from the trolley. No heavy lifting.
My nearest Aldi is a state away. Never been to one either. You also live closer to Costco than I do.
Also, there brands are delicious!
I live about 10 minutes from an Aldi. But my sister does the shopping for the two of us. Are you aware that Disney has started fireworks in the Magic Kingdom again? If you're still in Florida you need to go there!
There are three in our town, in Indiana, one location is 4 minutes from our house.
The whiskey cheese is soooo good. That is the one I told Auburn about.
Ha!! We got some!!
I always leave the quarter in the cart as a pat it forward kind of thing.
They also have special diet selections as well. My son is diabetic and they have the keto ice cream he likes cheaper than other stores in our area. My Aldi always carries riced cauliflower. I'm allergic to milk and they have non dairy ice cream as well. We aren't gluten free but they have a large gluten free section as well. I loved the cheese section before I became allergic to milk. The chocolate bars are awesome. They even have some dark chocolate bars I can eat :).
They opened one in California next to me. The problem is they open it between Costco and Sam’s Club. They will be out of business this year. They have two people shopping at the store and 1000 at each of the other two.
Is that the Titusville aldi? 😊 so close to me!
Booze is a regular item at Aldi, their prices on everything can't be beat and even their store brand stuff tastes good.
I bet you have a list of things to buy to bring home to Anchorage.
Question... how does Aldi handle the sales tax in the US? In germany in every store the tax is already included on the price tag. Now Aldi as a german company do the same overseas or is the price on the tag still before tax?
Okay, here's what we learned from being in Germany. Two German brothers, started together, a store. Then when they came to the US, one wanted to sell liquor, the other not. One became Aldi and the other is Trader Joe's, which is way more upscale! Our Aldi in Pa does not sell Liquor, but then neither does our Trader Joe's. We have Pa State Liquor stores, or did, now recently many of our local grocers are allowed to have a liquor license. We also have Lidl which is also German and a step above Aldi in merchandise, in my opinion. We do sometimes run into Aldi to buy their cheap cans of Tuna in water for our Thai and Mocha. If you're gonna try other stores....try Lidl and also , you must find a publix and buy their Key lime pie!!!! Would love to see a vlog on them!
The story with the two brothers goes a bit different: They started with their dad's shop and changed and expanded it. Later one of them wanted to sell cigarrettes and the other one didn't, so they split into Aldi Nord and Aldi Süd. The owners of Aldi Nord bought Trader Joe's in 1979.
@@Astrofrank Some additional Details:
1913 Karl Albrecht Sen. founded a grovery store in Essen-Schonnebeck.
His both Sons Karl Jun. and Theo take over the store in 1945.
1948 they changed their concept to the discount concept: "Minimum range of products for a cheap price".
1954 the first chain store outside the city of Essen opened.
1955 100 chain stores opened.
1961 300 chain stores opened.
1961 official because they couldn't agree about selling cigarettes in their stores the both brothers split the company. Theo take controll over Aldi North, Karl Jun. over Aldi South. Both brothers arranged a "gentlemen aggreement" and divided Germany for their stores to avoid direct competition. This "No direct competition" is still valid for both Companies in most Countries.
1962 The first real discount store with the brand "Aldi" opened (stores before where not 100% self-service stores).
Outside Germany in most countries the "no direct competition" rule is also established. Therefore All Aldi stores in Belgium, France, The Nederlands, Denmark, Poland, Portugal and Spain are owned by Aldi North. Stores in Australia, Ireland, UK and China owned directly by Aldi South. In Austria Aldi South take over the Hofer KG (1968) and Hofer (and therefore Aldi South) has stores in Austria, Hungary, Italy, Slovenia and Switzerland.
Only in the US (Aldi North take over Traders Joe's in 1979, Aldi South started as Aldi in 1976 but re-arranged the US concept and expansion plans in 2015 massivly).
(2020)
Total number of Aldi Nord owned stores 5,241
Total number of Aldi Süd owned stores 7,178
Combined total of Aldi owned stores 12,419
@@dirkspatz3692 Thank you for adding these details!
I have never been to an Aldi either! Trader Joe’s is usually my premiere “go to” grocery store when we go on vacation 😂 my gosh, those prices though!! Totally gonna try to check an Aldi out next month.
Yes!! Excited to hear your Aldi thoughts when you go!
Trader Joe's belongs to Aldi South
Aldi at the USA is actually an Aldi North brand
@@willloveyoumore What?! I had no idea, thanks for the info. ☺️ We have Kroger and Safeway grocery stores in Alaska.
@@linmagination gotta swap south with north! Aldi South has expanded to the USA and Aldi North merged with T.J’s.
Kroger is nice too. It has a bit different selection, that’s good!
Sad here in Germany and I think the rest of Europe, the Aldi can’t by no means match up with the US Aldi on Keto and grass fed production items! Unfortunately!
Take care pal
@@darkredvan I may had mixed it, so thanks for the lesson to correct it!!
Fun fact: aldi has sent their 5$ wines to competitions and won. Multiple times.
I love me some Aldi. So cheap!
Cheaper and good quality
Yall should go to lidia. It's the brother store of aldis
Looks a bit different than in Germany but a very good video!
The chocolate section is actually very small compared to other store from here!
Thanks for the info!
But only a bit different... I thought, the difference is bigger.
Aldi is my favorite store Adam I shopped there instead of Walmart live it
Im wondering if the olive oil was good
Aldi in Minnesota don’t have alcohol. I like it because of the prices and you can find random things!
We have Aldi in England
Love it however it's s not far for me to go. It's 3 buses and a 20-30 minutes journey.
If you like apple turnovers try Lidl there's a bakery there & that's where I buy them. I also shop Aldi.
being excited about aldi.....
I go toALDI by bicycle.... just put the Back-Panniers into the Aldi-Cart... let fill them.... hang them on the back of your bicycle and just go..... and at home..... position your bicycle just in the perfect position and unload the panniers.... ABSOLUTELY no Waste, no Plastic-Bags and some FREE exercise on top.....
That also was way nicer than the aldi by my house. But aldi has awesome stuff
Definitely enjoyed experiencing it for the first time
