Let's take a look at Aldi France. In this video, I take you along to the discount French supermarket Aldi, which has 10,000 stores in over 20 countries around the world. You'll notice that this French grocery store has cartons of products and bins instead of neatly arranged products. This is part of the discount model which doesn't require as much upkeep from employees. The new store here is modern, clean and has a produce section as well as everything else you'd expect from a French grocery store including cheese, a bakery, wine, and so much more. Have you visited an Aldi where you live?

What you have in France is Aldi Nord which owns Trader Joe’s hence the products being available in your store. The Aldi we have in the US is Aldi Sud. You can tell by the different logos each company uses. Great video. I enjoy seeing supermarkets in different countries. It tells you a lot about day to day living in a country.

Rick Steves has always talked about shopping at markets and drug stores in places you are visiting.

US and UK Aldi is Aldi Sud (which operates in south germany hence the name) and Aldi nord is in France (and north germany, again the name). Aldi nord is the one that owns trader joes (which I’ve never been to because in the UK we don’t have trader joes or Aldi nord)

@tim1724 2 года назад

As others have pointed out, there are two different companies named Aldi. (It was one company decades ago, but was split into two back in the 1960s when the two brothers who owned it had a fight about whether or not to sell cigarettes in their stores. So they split Germany in half, with one brother taking the northern half and the other taking the southern half.) The Aldi stores in France are owned by Aldi Nord, which owns Trader Joe's in the US. But all of the Aldi stores in the US are owned by the other company, Aldi Süd.

@ahyodem 3 года назад

This reminds me more of a Lidl's in the USA. I lived for 5 years in NC and the Lidl chain is making inroads in the Carolinas. Western NY only has Aldi's. Depending on the state in which you live, depends if you can find beer or wine in the selection. Being originally from WI, you can get beer and wine in the stores there and I even saw a bakery just like what you showed here in the renovated Aldi's there. Lidl has such a bakery in all their stores and the prices are also very attractive. Keep the interesting videos coming. Really enjoy watching them. Was for 2 weeks in Nantes and Noirmoutier back in the early 80's. It's an area of France that doesn't get a lot of press, but loved the place nevertheless.

@OuiInFrance 3 года назад

Yes, very true about the liquor laws. I know it always surprised me when visiting family in PA that you could buy alcohol in the supermarket, whereas in NJ where I lived you could not. Also, agreed that Nantes is great but I've yet to visit Noirmoutier.

I live in central Illinois in America. Our Aldi's has been remodel and it looks very modern, bright and looks like yours the aisle are wide and stocked very much like yours except for your floral yours is nicer. Your Aldi's looks quite larger than ours. It has 4 large aisles that are separated in two. I love their non food merchandise like home goods, personalized products for self, for pets and seasonal products but they are limited they fly off the shelves; I find them to be excellent quality. We have a coin deposit for carts here, I noticed weren't. At the beginning of Covid they were extremely cautiously which I appreciated and they have seniors days and hours for safe shopping .

It's a new and modern Aldi. 1 km from my home in the Netherlands there is a new Aldi like this one too. We visited the Aldi in Marseillan too in 2019, at that time it was new too, like the one at your place. The Aldi in Tournus was older and smaller, but that was a few years ago. Last september we visited the Aldi in Goch in Germany and that was a new and large Aldi too. A lot of items they have the same, but some items are especially for the country you are in. I prefer the Lidl supermarkts, but when not available then Aldi is a good alternative. In the Netherlands for supermarkets it's not allowed to sell liquer in the same store and that I loved in France and Germany. In France I love to buy the French carribian rhum and in Germany I love to buy the "Pflaumenbrand" or plum alcohol :-). Some supermarkets in the Netherlands have separate section of the supermarket with a separate (outside) entrance for the liquer department. Thanks for the pleasure and "bonne journée"

The Aldis in France just went through a renovation process in the last 3 years. The video shows the new arrangement and also the new products. Before that, it was really a tick below. The new Aldis now almost feel posh. I suppose they were losing too much market share to Lidl which had an aggressive strategy of pushing a "Deluxe discounter" image. You can see the influence now in this video as there are really a lot of branded (snickers etc) items. Aldi, at the beginning never, ever sold brand items.

Diane hi. I’m a new subscriber to your channel. Making your own “everything but the bagel seasoning “is so easy if you can get the following ingredients Buy packets of these items in bulk or in the spice aisles of your supermarket 100 grams of sesame seed 100 grams of poppy seeds 70 grams of minced dried garlic ( not powder ) 70 grams of dried onion flakes ( not the powder ) 2 tsp of kosher salt ( not regular iodized salt). Must say kosher salt on the package ) I suppose sea salt would work as well. Mix all the ingredients in a big bowl and transfer to your spice bottles. These make great gifts to give out. It’s delicious in any kind of baked bread or buns or make. And also very yummy on fish, chicken and even dishes like quiches or savoury tarts. Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦 🍁

How are the Aldi wines in France? We have 3 in my hometown. It's where I buy my staples. I will say comparing from Nebraska to Florida (where I've shopped Aldi in 2 different cities) they look the same. The only big difference I see is yours has signs identifying departments. Ours doesn't. I love Aldi for all the different interesting products I can find there.

@k.v.7681 3 года назад

They aren't exactly "bad" per say, but compared to what you can find anywhere else, it's "meh". There's a couple staples that aren't rare on any table, but you can pretty much go anywhere and find those. French wine sections are supposed to be big because they have a "terroir" associated with each region that will complement meals in specific ways. Aldi doesn't offer enough variety to be a good adress of choice variety for the population. It's changing tho. A topic that wasn't adressed in the video (because she isn't native so she wouldn't know. Most young people don't either) is that ALDI and Lidl used to be the "poor people supermarket". Soon to expire products bought by the company dirt cheap and sold dirt cheap, no coherence of availlable products, sketchy labels... installed in a cold warehouse with no shelving, evrything being thrown on wooden pallets. People used to cover their faces to not be seen going into one because of shame. They upped their game with their own internal brands and became more mainsream a decade or two ago.

Have they appeared in France? It is similar to Aldi in size and products. Much like your store, they have in store bakeries. You have quite a few things we don't see here that I wish we did.

The Aldi in southern California has more packaged meat and fish produce. A lot more processed can goods than fresh. It is cheap in a sense, you are getting what you pay for. The majority of the products in the store are still in the box it is shipped in, so nothing nicely displayed but exposed and open up for grabs. Some stores have a limited amount of kitchen gadgets and home goods, they usually advertise they have more than they really have. I can not say that they are not organized, some things can be out of place or find a few open products here and there that people rudely think that its okay to sample and not pay for it. *Note that this is what I've experienced limited to where I am at; I am sure everyone has different experiences from their stores.

The non-food items in the promotional row at Aldi were probably all there like in the flyer, but they only get one shipment and things sell out and disappear.

@keith2366 3 года назад

I have shopped in an Aldi in South Carolina and loved it. My only complaint is that they tend to open their stores in small towns. I live in California and the closest Aldi is over 2 hours away. I assume they want them far away from Trader Joe's.

The petit deserts in the Aldi you show look great, just wish my local Aldi in London did them. I'm spoilt as there are Aldi & Lidl locally and I shop in both stores. Love them both for different things.

@ataattosbt 3 года назад

Truth be told I now prefer Lidl, which is now new to me. Yes 2 German brothers separately started Trader Joe’s and Aldi with different spins on bringing great produce to the public at great prices without “membership” like Costco bulk shopping. As in Europe remember to bring your shopping totes or you will have to pay to bag it.

@SgtRocko 3 года назад

Awesome! Thank you! Merci! We love Aldi - Trader Joes is excellent, but not for day-to-day... Aldi IS. And their cheese selection (they've started carrying Fondues!). One thing - at the Aldi in France... if you switch the wine prices with the fruit prices it would be more like the US LOL

That's a very nice Aldi. Where I live in the US we don't have Aldi, just Trader Joe's. I lived in Southern France for a year and a half from 1998-2000 and Aldi was one of my favorite grocery stores but the ones I remember going to weren't as nice as this one.

@galier2 3 года назад

In 1998-2000 that Aldi shown in the video would have been exactly like the one you visited then. Aldi renovated all its stores in the last 3 years and they are now much nicer than before. The product selection also is now a bit more posh than before.

Here in Southern New Jersey we have both ALDI and Lidl but I shop most frequently at ALDI. I love that they sell Trader Joe items, just under a different name. Our ALDI does not have an in-store bakery but does have a bigger produce section. I always get my charcuterie items there as the selection is ide, varied and prices are very good. TFS ALDI France!!

Our Aldi in Ireland is quite different as to the products available.Aldi is great at sponsoring local dairy and produce.No Trader Joe's! Very good selection but I do object to some of their produce coming from the likes of Chili and not the EU.There are some German meat items such as sausage and no in store bakery. Their other equivalent here here is Lidl which is also German. They do have a bakery.

@@OuiInFrance you forgot to mention that Aldi is 2 separate companies. The Aldi in France is owned by Aldi Nord, and in the US, owns Trader Joe’s. Aldi USA is owned by Aldi Süd, and has a different logo and products. I'm fro. The Midwest in the US, and live on one of their oldest markets. Aldi USA is based in Batavia Illinois, and opened in Iowa in 1976, and Chicago a year later (despite being based in Illinois, they bought Bremer Tea, based in Iowa, and went against American grocery store standards to open in the US). I'm in Gary Indiana, and opened in Merrillville Indiana in 1979. Aldi was that basic back then, and until around 2008, was primarily a Midwest grocery store. Aldi struggled for a few years, until most of the copy cats closed. I have not seen many videos of Aldi Nord, and it's nice to see what is carried in their stores. As for all these products made out of Cauliflower in the US, has to do with the wheat and other grains in our products. Most US bread products are genetically modified, and due to that, people who used to not be allergic to gluten and other parts of wheat, are now allergic to it, if genetically modified. So that's why Cauliflower bread products, as well as mashed and rice Cauliflower are available here. You won't find this stuff in Germany either. I've seen plenty of videos of German grocery stores by various American expats in Germany. For Aldi in Germany, I mostly saw videos for Aldi Süd.

@tulipwindmill 3 года назад

Similar but different to my local Aldi. Ours has just been done up, but, doesnt look much like that one, same idea though. They tend to lean towards local producers as much as possible, that is why every country carries different things. No Trader Joes in my local one, Im in Scotland. I recommend the Mozzarella and basil sourdough frozen pizza and the chicken and mango flatbread one, if they stock them. Im not a big pizza fan, but, the mozzarella one was recommended by a Frenchman lol. Both are delicious. Oddly, I just finished dinner, only item not from Aldi was the veg lol. Their whole chickens are delicious!

@zyoninkiro 3 года назад

Aldi operates as two seperate chains, Aldi Nord and Aldi Sud. They split years ago due to a difference between the brothers who started the chain over whether or not to sell cigarettes. Aldi in France is the Aldi Nord chain which is also the the parent company of Trader Joe's. Aldi stores in the US are run by Aldi Sud. Aldi Sud also has started moving into Italy and recently opened up a store here in Turin.

@parpar3 3 года назад

About two years ago (if I remember correctly), there were suddenly Italians in my Aldi (which is named Hofer here in Austria) in Vienna. They were temporary trainees getting trained for the Aldi stores to be opened in Italy.

@zyoninkiro 3 года назад

@@parpar3 That was about the time the first stores were opening here in Italy. Prior 2017ish, you did not see Aldi here. I guess that they saw the success that Lidl and the local Italian discounters (In's Mercato, Eurospin, etc) were having in Italy and decided they wanted a piece of the pie. I am not complaining as it helps me stretch my hard earned euros further.
