#1 Aldi Thread
Interesting things about Aldi, my favorite food store. I BELIEVE it is German, non-jew, owned.
aldi http://adventuresofacouponista.com/t...healdikitchen/ http://www.cleverlysimple.com/aldi-grocery-stores-tour/ An employee suggested that instead of constantly changing out the signs with the fluctuation of produce prices, that they design a sign where the price can change but the sign stays in place. Aldi uses suggestions like this from their employees so that they can be more…. wait for it…. efficient! http://www.gimmesomeoven.com/my-visi...-headquarters/ https://corporate.aldi.us/en/real-estate/opportunities/ Businesses serve customers. Government agencies serve themselves. Businesses are forced to pay attention to customers, give them what they want. Or someone else will, and they'll go out of business. Even if they're at the very top. History is littered with giant computer sellers and apparel retailers that no longer exist. Whereas, government agencies don't give a damn what the public wants and never go out of business. |

There is one of these within 20m of me. Any time I need to stock up on canned goods, or non-perishables in enough quantity to justify the drive, ill do so. Some of their stuff is even cheaper than save-a-lot, and its better quality. The Aldi brands are pretty much name brand quality with different labels on them. They got these German pickles I really like as well that I can't get anywhere else. A lot of the stuff they have says "Made in Germany" on the label. I avoid Wal-Marx if its possible.

Haven't tried much of it, but their bacon and tea are excellent and cheap. Lidls (it's slightly more expensive sister company) is quickly becoming almost constantly busy in my town as well. People are sick of having their pants pulled down by tesco.

It's okay but honestly I oppose any of these supermarket chains. They've taken the life and soul out of too many a town centre and, I think, severe people's links with tradition.

I still go to Kroger for meats. They mark a lot of stuff down 50% when its getting near the expiration date. I'll take it home and freeze it. I'm not too picky, I'll take the marked down hamburger, chicken, pork, or if I'm lucky they'll have some steaks marked down. I saw a big slab of sirloin marked down before. All you had to do was cut it into steak portions. I probably got 8 pretty good sirloin cuts out of it for $20 and change. Wrapped them individually and froze them.

That ad featuring 3 nonwhites out of 5 is certainly insulting, one mulatesse would have sufficed to keep the pressure groups away, I´d fire the art director who approved that shit.

It could very well be that some twat in Aldi´s advertising office simply found the little mulatas sooo adorable and chose the image for that reason, most images that businesses use in advertising come from stock footage that they buy from third parties, I think most don’t bother producing their own images.

Aldi where I live is expanding. It is literally across the street from Walmart. This tests the always-heard claim that Walmart destroys local retail. Maybe high-price, poor-selection retail. But Walmart is not low priced in 2017, if it ever was. It has another large drawback - it's a gigantic warehouse and you have to walk 1/4 mile to get to your first item.

I went to the Aldi in our area again tonight; forgot the damn quarter for the basket, so I had to hold my items. The basket thing isn't bad since you get the quarter back, but the BYO bag thing can be a pain. Interesting that they're expanding the one in Kirksville, since they tout the smallness of their stores & parking lots as crucial to their low prices (low rents).
