I think the bread really propelled Dollar Tree forward. That bothers me though, because Aldi sells so many different kinds of bread and they just happened to pick the worst one.

@ghillies4life 2 месяца назад

I agree. Aldi has tons of affordable, artisan breads, and they picked what is supposed to be the Aldi version of Wonderbread, which also wouldn't hold up well to a burger patty.

@johnpolack9168 2 месяца назад

I like that Aldi has a white bread that is on par with the Sara Lee that isn’t very expensive (like $2.35 in my area) and they didn’t get it. I do feel like when Dollar Tree has a fancy version of something they should be able to match it at the other store, especially when it is still store brand and not much more.

IIRC Trader Joe's actually licenses the Aldi name as a brand here in the US; it's not at all the same as a german Aldi. But there are a lot of diehards over here that love the store. Trader Joe's is a more premium US grocer and some of the items are the same in both stores, but Aldi is much more affordable than Trader Joe's, or even mainstream grocers in the US.

loving this comment section and the premise of comparing these two stores, it's hard as someone who grew up poor to hear people hate on aldi because it was so incredible for very straightforward ingredients, good quantities, and great prices. plus the employees getting to sit and commitment to no bags to reduce waste! also comments are right, they picked the WORST aldi bread

@mikki_s1100 2 месяца назад

Aldi is honestly a budget essential for us! With grocery costs now, the same ingredients from Walmart would be $60-$100 depending on what we need. Get the bulk at Aldi then a regular grocery for a couple items Aldi doesn’t stock.

@KevinCruz-pu2ue 2 месяца назад

I've had that bread and it is not the typical Dollar Tree bread. You must have found a store with that landed a limited supply because the typical Dollar Tree bread is about half a loaf of the same crap bread you bought at Aldi. Also, Aldi has cheaper beef patties by the pound than those boxed ones, so if you don't think beef quality matters (which if you prefer your beef patties to not be 100% beef, you clearly don't), then you should've gotten those. It kind of feels like you might've inadvertently stacked the deck for Dollar Tree here by buying all the smaller quantity name brand options when they also carry generic mustard and ketchup that have larger quantities; you certainly didn't do well with the presentation by buying that really expensive beef that wonked out the pricing. Dollar-for-dollar, your money goes a little bit further at Aldi than it does at Dollar Tree if you're buying full equivalents.

@schnichaels 2 месяца назад

Yeah, Aldi has some really good stuff if you look for it. Usually have a rotation of gourmet mustards, ciabatta buns or other sourdough loaves, better cheeses, Fresh produce (no lettuce, tomato, onion used here). You could easily blow a Dollar Tree meal out of the water if you aren't hamstringing your ingredients by what's available in Dollar Tree.

@danielhall6578 2 месяца назад

I agree with both of you guys and the ingredients from aldi bothered me because they got the bottom tier stuff from aldi and the highest from dollar tree

@marlies7444 2 месяца назад

I agree as well. We shop at Aldi, about 75% of our groceries come from there. They have a big variety of cheeses, and especially breads. And sometimes some really good mustards from Germany. They usually also have many different kinds of pickles. I agree that the ketchup is sweet, he used the organic one from Aldi. Not sure how another organic ketchup will compare. It does use real sugar, and not high fructose corn syrup.

@kaspianepps7946 2 месяца назад

I feel that for something like this they should just be buying the cheapest of each product or at least try and match the products as closely as possible (they didn't use any fresh produce because Dollar Tree doesn't sell it, but then used fancy bread from Dollar Tree and cheap bread from Aldi).

@fatman123526 2 месяца назад

Yes Aldi isn’t expensive, but it was more expensive than dollar tree so it’s the “expensive” one for this test. I think they wanted to do two of them that are close to each other to make the judging harder. It’s not a challenge if one of them blows the other one out of the water.

As a person who has to shop at Aldi and dollar tree for budget reasons, Aldi sells in larger sizes than dollar tree. Dollar tree sells name brand condiments for example but only in tiny sizes which don’t last very long. Aldi has normal sizes which last longer and while maybe not as good as name brand are still really good. Dollar tree does sell better bread but only gets delivery twice a week and you must be there on Tuesday or Thursday to get a decent selection. It’s also normally being sold at or with a day or two of expiration in order to sell the name brand bread at cheap prices. It’s basically what name brand store didn’t sell in time. I go to dollar tree for bread and snacks and Aldi for almost everything else.

@ep4704 2 месяца назад

As a follow up Aldi charges 25 cents for taking a cart, but you get it back when you return it. It’s just a way of getting you to secure the carts. It’s also better value per item than the tiny sizes dollar tree sells. If your really limited in funds for the month dollar tree is good but you will buy more often and spend a lil more.

Aldi is great!! I start all of my grocery shopping trips there. If my roommate wasn’t diabetic and needed more low carb options, we’d probably only shop there. Prices are great. Stores are clean. Workers are the happiest you can expect someone at work to be.

It is in the US as well, it’s just marginally more expensive than dollar tree which is why it’s the expensive option. Totally the cheapest option in the states

Aldi with all the respect, is better quality then Dollar Tree… by miles. Might not be top tier, but in Europe they are making a killing. In the UK they are like crazy popular and it competes with shops like Tesco, Morrisons & Asda.

@IndianaJesus84 2 месяца назад

They frequently beat the pricier stores here in Germany in quality testing. I just rarely shop there because the one near me is unfriendly even by German customer service standards.

@alexgreen3662 2 месяца назад

@@IndianaJesus84 I’m the UK the staff are ok, but tbh no one cares as long as they sell the right products at the right price for people to eat health and not make a huge dent in their budget. Obviously is not the greatest quality but for the money you spend you get the most out. Also the fact they have different themes on their shelves from different countries every other week is even better

@stephenpearson1786 2 месяца назад

@johnlawrence3170 Месяц назад

They're inexpensive in the USA too, and it's my favorite go-to for all the basic stuff. A lot of Americans seem strangely intimidated by them because of the quirkyness, but I love ALDI. I keep telling people to go, and eventually they do, once they do they get hooked, haha

I think much of his attitude is probably more a California thing than an American thing. Look at Link's attitude toward Aldi from an older episode where he said something to the effect of "They make you pay a quarter for a cart!". Aldi didn't make it to California until the last decade I think whereas it is has been around the midwestern US for MUCH longer. I've been going to Aldi for most of my life so what Josh is freaked out by is normal for many Americans.

This is unintentionally a reality check for those living in Europe (and especially the UK), regarding further deregulation and what companies/supermarkets can get away with as the lowest treshold of food (quality), assuming both ALDI and Dollar Tree are the cheapest options for people who don't have a choice. The burger patty and the mayo are off putting, but the rest of the stuff isn't much better especially if you think about what they put in there to make it taste good (loads of salt/sugar).

@lasskinn474 2 месяца назад

the stores are just stores and have most of stuff from where the store is. like thailand used to have tesco before they sold it, they had 1 shelf of tesco branded products as imports and rest just same as other thai supermarkets. I do miss that 1 shelf of tesco branded products dearly. also say Lidl in finland has a lot of finnish product nowadays and a bunch of german cheapo brand stuff. for a lot of stuff the finnish cheapo stuff is just cheaper and better so a lot of the german stuff has been phased out (edit: the cheap german stuff like the inhouse soda brands were their gimmick when they came to finland 20 years ago) there's no beating a german supermarket in germany, I can agree with that.
