Comments on: My First Experience Shopping at Aldi http://www.suburbandollar.com/2009/04/20/my-first-experience-shopping-at-aldi/ Where finance and reality meet Thu, 11 Mar 2010 23:27:10 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Terri http://www.suburbandollar.com/2009/04/20/my-first-experience-shopping-at-aldi/comment-page-1/#comment-1607 Terri Fri, 21 Aug 2009 16:19:44 +0000 http://www.suburbandollar.com/?p=678#comment-1607 Most of the items we have tried are as good or better than name-brand or the off-brand from Wal Mart. I just finished reading an article on another web page, and they reported most of the items are made by well-known companies (Kelloggs, Tyson, etc). I went to our local Aldi yesterday (NW Ohio), and there were expensive SUVs and other high-end cars in the parking lot. This just shows Aldi is not just for "lower class" shoppers. You have to get used to a small store, bagging your own items, and paying for a shopping cart (you get your quarter back when you return the cart), but it is worth the effort in my opinion.

Actually the two Brothers are sharing the german market into ALDI SÜD(south) and ALDI NORD(north). This two old couples named Albrecht are one of the richest guys over here and i would say they have ballbreaking prices compared to other supermarkets here in germany. They even started around two years ago selling meat which is also of great quality and price. We Germans love our ALDI.

Otherwise a lot of their stuff is generic type brands - cheap and generic. Some of our friends swear by their food though, and we have found some of it to be very tasty!

Interesting! Those small savings can make a huge difference over time. I’ve never heard of Aldi before. Interesting! Those small savings can make a huge difference over time.
