Exploring German Supermarket Aldi compare to American Grocery store 2022 

Yes, Aldi does not sell formula. The word in German is Baby Nahrung. He can find it at Drogeriemarkt DM, Kaufland and other bigger Drogeries. He could take a picture of the back showing the ingredients, possibly people who would venmo him he would ship them, it is permitted now by FDA to bring baby formula from Europe.

The Infant formula shortage in the US is because of contamination with Cronobacter was making babies sick. Now the onus is on the manufacturer and supply issues causing the shortage. Abbott in Southwest Michigan had to shut down again recently due to flooding and rain damage from severe atoms moved through the area

China had a similar problem with baby formula a few years ago and EVERYTHING in German stores was sold out because people tried to make money out of it in sell it to China.

it‘s around $1 per 100g

@@Og-Judy A few years ago there was a similar scandal with baby formula in China. Here in the Netherlands there were lots of Chinese buying up Dutch Nutrilon formula. Most super markets set a limit of one or two packages per person. I remember seeing a crazy video of two Chinese women fighting over Nutrilon in front of a super market in Amsterdam.

Choceur has the best basic dark chocolate bar. The best! I send them to my family out west at Christmas since they cant get them there, yet.

@@ColbyPurcell I love my women like I love my chocolate.... nice and sweet......you thought I was gonna say dark didn't ya 🤣

@@hollywoodsaint57 gross

@@ColbyPurcell whats gross....sweet women? or the fact that I find the opposite sex attractive?

Aldi is like Lidl they sell cheap products, sometimes they sell good beers for a week but in the regular period their beers are just cheap piss.

ALbrecht und DIeter. = ALDI The name of the brothers who foundend it. Same like adidas. Or Haribo. :D

it is not called „Aldi‘s“, its Aldi

It in a way does. It's not the stereotype this time, actually. It's that the grocery retail market in Germany is *insanely* competitive and companies have to be extremely efficient about driving down their costs to survive here. Like, this is the market *Walmart* walked into, lost a billion dollars and retreated from because the competition was too hard.

@@dieterdietert7232 Albrecht is actually the family name, and it was their father who founded the original store in 1913. The DI comes from DIscount.

@@dieterdietert7232 you are wrong my friend. like Magni said, its Albrecht Discount / Diskont (german word) and their Father has founded the 1st store in Essen.

Chicago deep dish pizza. New York style pizza. New York cheesecake.

one massachusetts Sandwich Please 😁

you forgot hot dogs 🌭

@@nickbrackett9023 I can imagine someone saying that, too, all upbeat. “Hot Dog!, Wizzconsin!” Right near the famous Dells lol

As in "Braunschweiger" Leberwurst. Lekker, lekker, lekker!!!

Similar for sure

Best ist, sale taxes are included, there`s no shock at the check out. Stay save!

Wow prices are better in Germany. And i thought we were doing good in the US with Aldi's Just the same we love Aldi's

And on top these prices include taxes!

And all prices are with taxes included already!!

So how are prices in the US compared to this?

In Germany there is a chain of Christmas stores called Käthe Wohlfahrt which are open year round. You can get the German Christmas experience even now in summer time.

@@Ozymandias1 Yes, Kaethe Wolfarth, I visited the store in Rothenburg/Tauber many years ago, and bought so many Teddy Bears 🐻.

Yes I’d love to see this too!

That would be awsome!!

@@efogg3 your awesome! beat my awesome so... ditto :-) but yeah it would be fun to see

lol I made the same comment! Cheers from Denver, Colorado 🍻 I think I would be rich with all the money I would save. The Steelers are my back up AFC team after the Broncos

@@keithhavens6566 I am unfortunately an Eagles fan 😆. Would love to see an Eagles vs Steelers Super Bowl in my lifetime! Got no ill will towards the Broncos though loved watching Elway back in the day. We are being ripped off I even went as far as did the conversions from Euro to USD and Liters to Gallon and a Gallon of diesel in Krefeld Germany is $7.75 i wanna say its $6 here. A six pack of Victory Beer made like an hour from me is $11.99 plus tax. They got $2 sixers Thats cheaper than when I was in College in the late 90s for garbage beer!

@@davidh8562 Got family in Philly and I was Celebrating like crazy when the Eagles beat the Patriots! Eagles fans are F’n Scary 😜 lol- watching them pelting Vikings fans is always a good laugh

Aldi also sells their own brand of beer, you won't get every type there. Aldi is known for not having any big brands, that's why the prices are so low. If you go to a beverage store, you pay almost €1.50 for a Krombacher (0.5L).

@@keithhavens6566 you see the prices in Poland

Calm down

@@freedomisslavery6840 Calm down? ... Lol. 👌Not sure what you're talking about..but, whatever you say man!

Thanks to Australia though for shipping baby formula packages to the U.S. 🙏🏼

So baby formula is powdered milk? I didnt know people do use this stuff beyond the 1960ties.

Germans don't use baby formula as a regular baby food. It os considered just as a special treatment when breastfeeding doesn't work, when the baby needs additional calories etc. That's why it is sold usually only in drugstores and pharmacies as it is not viewed as 'food' but more as 'medical aid' (same for all those 'food supplements')

yes they used to sell mostly crap 2 decades ago but now they have quite a lot of interesting cheap products that regular stores dont have or sell for 4 times the price.

You’re correct. I guess with the baby formula shortage here in America people want to see what is hard to find here now.

Because the dollar (fiat currency, no longer backed by gold) is rapidly depreciating, and their euros are not losing value, no inflation there.

@@gregpeterman1102 We have inflation in germany right now, groceries are up around 11% same with energy cost. But its overall not so high compared to the US.

@@gregpeterman1102 "Because the dolla", not just the dollar, all over Europe

@@gregpeterman1102 Actually the dollar is strong. I am loving it because my income is in dollars and I buy weaker currencies and wait for them to get stronger.

There are tons of bread selections at Aldi, tons.

In Germany, the food industries always negotiate with the markets. Aldi also buys overproduction from manufacturing companies, these get the Adimarkten packaging. That's why you buy branded products in the Aldi brands. Branded goods are often hidden behind many of the private labels in German supermarkets. But because they are not advertised, they are also cheaper. The small baking stadiums in supermarkets are not considered bakeries in Germany. For good bread that lasts a long time and doesn't start to mold after a few days. Should you pay a little bit more and go to a baker on your own street in Germany. There you also have more choice and you can only buy half a loaf of bread there. Germany is the Land with the most Art of Bread´s, i know about 350.

Why are you jealous come to Europe it's so much better over here.

Ok!👍👍👍

Es kursieren Gerüchte, daß Aldi Nord und Aldi Süd irgendwann "zusammengelegt" werden...

@@mrs_mim458 diese umstellung ist schon am laufen, viele vieeele produkte wurden schon umgestellt, und vor ~1 jahr wurden die jeweiligen Einkaufs-abteilungen der Zentralläger geschlossen und eine gemeinsame Nationale+Internationale Abteilung in der Hauptzentrale eröffnet. (Nahe Essen)

What about Lidl in the UK?

rumors said the brother splitted their stores into south and north because one brother wanted to sell cigarettes and the other wont.. dont know if this is true

Both brothers are now dead, Theo Albrecht died in 2010 and Karl Albrecht in 2014.

@@Ozymandias1 Oh no. I didn’t even realise that. Now what? Lol You know, maybe this is why Trader Joe’s has changed so much, and in Germany, LIDL is more like the old Aldi

@@swissy5608 I thought Aldi was where the shop and the magazine are basically the same thing, they just drive the pallets into the shop and add box cutters so the customers can open the stuff. No Shelves etc, but I guess the formula changed. I dunno which one we have in NL, here its just called Aldi.

Gone but not forgotten 🙏

Kinda hoping GIV will do the Beer Bath and give a review.

Ja und dann brauch man sich keine Gedanken zu machen in 3 Minute kalt zu Duschen und gut für die Haare, hahaha🤣

Nabisco made Zweiback in my young childhood. We ate it with butter or jam and it tasted great. I'm pretty sure I had some a few years back too. But yes, spelled with an "EI," not "IE."

The brand name BIMBO wouldn't work in Germany as it is also a cuss word for colored people, especially in the eastern part.

@@alsosprachzarathustra5505 haha, here in Mexico the name Bimbo only evokes nice memories, because it is the most famous bakery in the country, and its mascot is a cute bear with a chef's hat 🤗

@@KutWrite I remember Zweibach from Nabisco, too.

@@joelfrombethlehem So do I

Or someone would cut a finger off and they would sue 😆

Why only Munich in Bavaria?! Germany has so much more extremely interesting and wonderful sights in the North, East and West.

@@andrep.3774 Agreed but when u have family in Munich. My family is everything to me and love the time we have to spend

Yes! My parents were German and we ate those things when we were babies. Not much taste and hard as a rock from what I remember. I haven't seen those here in America outside of a German store.

You can always come back to Europe you know. California and America not that great anymore such ashame it used to be great please come back to Europe.

You should see the prices in Poland

@@tnickknight exactly, many people think Germany has the "cheapest" groceries, but they should first visit the countries around Germany! Especially at the time when sunflower oil is so extremely expensive here in Germany (up to €4.99 per liter), I wonder why it sometimes costs only 0.89 cents in Belgium, the Netherlands, Poland and Austria.

We have them around where I shop in US.

There's stuff sold at US Aldi stores you can't get in Germany as well. So it's all the same.

I enjoy Aldi but wish it would get its stock room inventory in order, because there have been continuous supply issues in the only store within walking distance of me. In recent months they've run out of pasta, whole milk, half & half, coffee creamer, plain oatmeal, and cornstarch, among other common items---which took weeks to restock. The empty shelf areas do not look good, especially in a store that already carries far less than a large, full service grocer ten minutes from me....a local store that never experienced shortages like this even during the worst of the pandemic.

@@msr1116 Are you in Germany or is that Aldi USA?

@@julioalbertoherrera1339 ....this is in the US.

Really? Cashiers stand up all the time in American stores?

Holy cow they stand all the time.. in Holland they sit aswell, at least they have the option to sit or stand here.

Wow I never knew that American checkout staff have to stand. I have been to USA but I never even noticed.

Yeah but they have to throw the stuff in the cart as fast as they can which causes mistakes. They can't keep workers either.

Wow,cashiers sit in Macedomia too!

Taxes are in the price

He would live a lot longer in Germany

I heard that GMOs are not allowed in food sold in Europe. Interesting how they are allowed and all over the food sold in the USA. I notice that the Aldi brands sold in America say 'manufactured for Aldi' even the foods that say they are German foods. I wonder if that's how they get around the GMO thing to be able to sell the stuff in the USA yet make it with GMO ingredients. I wish Aldi in America sold more German food actually made in Germany and not just made for Aldi in America. I don't want the garbage with GMOs. And there is nowhere in America to find real authentic German breads and rolls except maybe an authentic German bakery, of which there are not many of those left anymore.

Aldi is a store that sell cheap products, it doesn't represent the prices of regular stores at all. Regular stores cost like 2-3 times more. Also the euro used to be worth 50% more so that make it look cheap now from the USA.

California prices are for crazy people, look who they elect for leadership.

Outrageous! We are paying a LOT more for food in Chicago.

And CNN, NBC, ABC, CBS, and Fox news have been saying inflation is worldwide. Fake news. Trump was right.

@@ninanicolai7170 and the taxes are includes already in price tags.

That is way easier to calculate what you are paying at the end

Because the US is dead. Its the worst developed country in the world.

I love your name sir, you are unique!

@@aw-g A lot of people have told me that. Everyone is so nice to me. Danke.

Interesting because I heard that Aldi owns Trader Joe's. Makes sense that they are putting an Aldi across the street.

I used to live in Tustin. TJs, Grocery Outlet and Aldi in the same area?! Take my money!

Superior? Every Aldi I've seen in Germany looks identical to the U.S. one's to me. The German Aldi in this video even looked rather picked over compared to the Aldi by me here in the states. Prices are slightly cheaper In Germany. But then again Americans on average spend less of their disposable income on groceries than Germans do. An Aldi is an Aldi from what I have seen. All cookie cutter.

The United States is taking over the world in run away INFLATION, SKY HIGH FOOD AND GAS ! it sucks

Please come back to Europe where it's so much better and more affordable especially the healthcare systems over here so much better.

Good Friday evening here in California 🇺🇸, @ Irina from Siberia, Peace be with you.

Here in Europe we are not treated like slaves European country's are so much better than America why don't you come to Europe as well? you are more than welcome here.

No, it's a religious/anachronistic pain in the ass. Takes away half the weekend when the weekend is the only time working people have to shop. The USA had similar and equally ridiculous "blue laws" until ~50 years ago. We progressed. Germany did not. I lived in Germany and mostly loved it, but this archaic law was just stupid, especially given that it was based in religion, and Germans are far less religious than Americans.

@@DidierWierdsma6335 Europe is better if you want to lay in a hammock while achieving nothing while relying on government support. The safety net/hammock is much better than in the USA. Kick back, relax, do nothing for 80 years, then die and fertilize the soil- the Netherlands is ideal for that lifestyle. But if you want to achieve and do more than just survive, actually do something that matters, the USA is the better choice. Different systems, to be sure. Each person can make his own choice.

@@libertarian4323 It's nice that all shops are closed on Sundays. Of course, as an clueless American, you can't understand that. But in Germany, Sunday is a day when the family usually get together and it's quieter. We don't need to go shopping on Sundays. Just a day without all this hustle and bustle. It's just a different culture. Your culture is to drag yourself to the hospital because you can't afford an ambulance. Or you are enslaved as an employee by your boss because you have no worker rights. We Germans/Europeans can't understand that either.

Sundays are chill in Germany and people are doing different actvities outdoor or with their families. Less traffic, less noise, less stressful and it's really good to calm down a little bit. I hope it stays like this forever.
