Aldi and Trader Joe‘s are actually the businesses of the same German family, divided between the late brothers Albrecht. So Trader Joe‘s is equivalent to Aldi Süd in Germany, am Aldi is basically Aldi Nord, which I personally prefer. Aldi/ Trader Joe‘s are still family owned businesses who do not fall down the trap of stock holder capitalism, which makes companies shell out their wins to share holders instead of investing the wins back into the businesses…a huge win! Aldi is the second best discounter we have in Germany, I prefer Lidl for fruit and veggies, but Aldi for red wine and strong liquor
The Aldi in my village is great with the way how fresh their vegetables and fruits are - Lidl in the neighbourtown is not like this. It all depends so much on how frequent and how many costumers use the shop and how good the organization of the single market is.
@@geneviere199 that‘s totally true…depending on which one is more popular, the fruit/veggies/meat will be fresher. I‘ve lived in a small village before wher the Aldi was much better, because it was smack in the middle of the next town over, whereas the Lidl was out of the way.
Where i live, in Bremen Germany, i mostly go to a Netto market because its only 400-500m aways while the next Aldi is double the way. But whenever for some reasons i had to walk to Aldi i was really surprised that the prices are not cheaper than Netto anymore these days. And product wise Netto has at least a way better selection of ice cream.
ALDI sales brand products, but under a different name and under a different layout. Well, at least they are manufatured in the same factory. For example: You can buy "milsani" buttermilk instead of "müller" buttermilk, but the producer of "milsani" is "müller" < same producer, different brand-name < this goes on for a lot of products.
This was the case, but it's not anymore. There are very few exceptions but most of it is order made and not rebranded anymore. Aldi dictates the prices of their suppliers who are often dependent on Aldi as a customer.
I remember times when i was a kid like 40-30 years ago a lot of people said aldi is for poor people and were kind of ashamed. In elemtary school we also mocked each other when our parents bought stuff at aldi or making racist jokes like: what is a turkish handbag - an aldi plastic bag. But It changed a lot in those 30 years now all kind of people buy at aldi rich or poor doesnt matter. Also many more discounter exist now next to aldi in germany
At the beginning Aldi goods are often low quality, but then, I would say in the 90s, Aldi changed policy and since then the quality is as good or even better than anywhere else. Price is still low because of the sheer mass they can order from the producers. Oh yes and no TV ads or any such bullshit.
The mechanics about Aldi having lower prices fpr household staples and other sellers lowering prices accordingly has lead to very low grocery prices in Germany, comparing to neighbouring countries like France or the Netherlands. Aldi (and Lidl as well) are able to influence price politics in the US as well, if they reach are critical consumer mass. It is already happening in the UK .
Aldi sets the prices in germany. If Aldi lowered some product prices, everyone else must lower their prices too. It's funny that the same thing is happening right now in the U.S.A Aldi is the reason why the german groceries are cheap in our country.
they started that, but the times of them leading the charge in Germany is gone ... now they simply exchange blows with lidl, Netto, Penny and others, which operate fairly identical. Whoever gets a better deal sourcing one of the essential products uses that to bait costumers away from the other. And this isnt just an opinion, but an explaination from Aldi Nord itself which 2022 went into a negative operational profit margin for the first time in its history (as far as we know). But you are right, what Aldi introduced kept Germanies grocery prices surprisingly low in comparison to most other western nations. The Aldi brothers certainly deserve respect and thanks for introducing such an aggressive business model. Thanks to that we also are one of the few economies where grocery prices actually come down again soon after a crisis pushed them, rather then staying up a slong as possible to maximize profits. But I rather doubt that the US divisions of german discounters operate with the same high motivation for lowest price, seems the average American consumer is far too brand loyal to constantly switch to whoever offers the better deal so there is less to gain by cutting into the profit margins too deeply.
Trader Joe's products can be bought in my local German Aldi super market, like varied nuts, dried fruits or pop corn. The comparison betweeen Aldi and Trader Joe's makes no sense. THe quarter is NOT a fee, it is just a deposit, you will get your quarter back! 🤣It is just an incentive to put your trolley back. Jesus Christ! 😂
Trader Joe's is Aldi Nord (they bought it in the late 60s or 70s). Aldi in the US is Aldi Süd. If you live on the north side of the Aldi divide in Germany, you'll probably get Trader Joe's items because of that.
Yes, here in Germany, Aldi feels far less expensive than other supermarkets. The summary price for the heap in Your shopping card mostly is a positive surprise. You normally buy at Aldi first and only what You do not get there You will later pick up elsewhere. After some visits You soon will find out which products meet Your quality expectations. But for the most part they offer good product quality. And the cashiers are very quick at the supermarket checkout.
One thing about bananas: Almost all bananas we find in stores around the world today are identical clones. It's always the Cavendish banana. It is named after William Cavendish, 6th Duke of Devonshire, who planted bananas from China in his greenhouse at Chatsworth House around 1830. Almost all bananas traded worldwide today belong to the Cavendish variety, i.e. they are ultimately clones of this one banana plant from the Duke of Devonshire's greenhouse. Therefore, it doesn't matter where you buy your bananas.
Even tho you are right about all comercial bananas being clones there can be a big difference in taste/quality because of climate, soil quality and care on the plantation. Funfact because all most comercial bananas are clones they have absolutely no resistance to some diseases and whole plantations can get devastated in matter of days.
Aldi has alway done well in struggling economies where the people have their backs against the wall. I am sure Donald Trump will change that. He is all about helping the working man - not the billionaires. Right?
The Aldi store here in my city in Portugal has a large LED display "shoved" in the faces of the people who enter the store, telling them how much electricity the store is using and how much of that electricity is being produced by the photovoltaic panels they installed in the roof of the store. Efficiency but also sustainability and environmental conscience. 🙂
Aldi, LIdl - LOVE em, great stores! You got kids, little money and need basics? Go there. Superb. Their own label drinks are great for mixing if you have a party. Love from North London
Adli and Lidl in the uk do have bakeries and theyre actually one of the best parts about them its sad you guys dont have them. The fresh breads are great and cheap, i get these caramel yumyums theyre likea twisted donut covered in caramel for like £0.60p so good.
on the other side, aldi's main rival in germany, lidl, is thriwing in denmark, but with a very different concept, where the quality of their own brands often are better than the main labels. aldi's quality is often lower than that, and danes are notouris picky of what they eat.
Where you get Aldi you will get a Lidl same type of shop same brothers yes cheap n cheerful every one has a middle isle selling parkside tools drills spanners etc and seasonal stuff only criticism checkout can be a nightmare 7 checkouts 1 working is common , don't forget to bring your own bags or box
aldi had to pull out from the danish market. they had made a defecit every year here, and the defecit had been deductable from their taxation home in germany. but in the end, the company needed to focus on countries where they can earn money.
I don't know anything about the situation in Finland but I guess about everywhere in Germany (I do know that is the case in both the capital and small cities) you do not get a shopping cart without a coin.
The problem with Dollar General is that they also cheap out on quality which Aldi doesn’t. Aldi is a bargain. Dollar General is decidedly not. With Aldi you get what you pay for and then some. With DG you may pay low but still get ripped off.
Yes Aldi is are cheaper as the other Stores even Lido cost a litter more for the same Products .Also they'very test the cheaper Products here they are of the same level as the Products as by Rebecca or Edeka.So the Qualität is the same as the high Price now Products as the Unknown low Price Products..The different styles to they need less Workers to hire for the jobs they'very. You need to pack your own Grocery store it mean no plastic bags because you need to bring your bags with where you pack your Grocery's and no one where need to push the shopping cart back from the Parking lot .They'very a smaller Selection of the Products what People need for every day high Ouallity for a low Price.They have the same Concept in America how here in Germany.. What I find good I can buy now by Aldi products from America for a decent Price like Peanutbutter .this is hard to become in Germany Grocerystores
1:19 ALDI has same size as Trader Joe’s 😂😂😂 German ALDI SOUTH reserved the name ALDI IN USA first. German ALDI NORTH bought the name Trader Joe’s … TWO German brothers same concept… de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trader_Joe%E2%80%99s
Fun fact: Aldi also cuts costs by reducing transport distances. If they can buy regionally for roughly the same price and quality, they will.

It's actually the other way around 🙂
Trader Joe's belongs to Aldi Nord and Aldi is part of Aldi Süd.

Prices are unbeatable and the quality is great, so it's really a no-brainer.
Very often brands and Aldi product come from the same plant

You will get the quarter back, when you bring back the cart.

At Aldi you can get 300g tortilla chips (store brand) for 1,59 €.

Trader Joe is owned by Aldi owner family Albrecht, isn’t it?

I prefer shopping in a smaller shop when I need nothing uncommon. Cheaper and you fibish faster.

I love Aldi's private label food. The quality and taste is as good and most often better than the name brand.
