Did not know Aldi were in the States?
We have both Aldi here but they’re differently named. One is just Aldi, the other is Trader Joe’s.
It’s our super low cost grocer, that has in recent years become more high quality. When I was a kid (80s-90s) it was like “never buy fresh anything there because it’s all crap” but these days it’s all pretty decent quality stuff. Not like farmstand good, but better than Walmart.
I’ve noticed refrigerated stuff and produce from Aldi tends to go bad pretty fast, but as long as you use it up within a few days it’s fine
Got one in my redneck suburb. We almost exclusively shop there.
Yeah, they’ve been in Texas at least 20 years. Looks like they are in most of the states in the eastern half of the continental US and the states along the southern border.
We have some in the Midwest as well
Yes, they’re not the most common but they’re in most places here.
They have been here in the US for a long time, I think their first american store opened in the 70s. Personally I love Aldi I shop at my local one here in Missouri at least once a week. Their price on extra firm tofu just can’t be beat its at least 1/3 the price it is at my other local supermarkets.

Aldi Nord controlled stores in the US are Trader Joes, Aldi Sud stores in the US are just Aldi
