Ironic, because the last time I went to an Aldi here in America is was a total rip-off.
Yeah the Aldi in my little town sucks. The produce is always in awful shape, their bread tastes awful, and if canned goods are cheaper, it's usually because they are in a smaller size. It's essentially just a dressed up Dollar General.
What kind of bread? The ones near me have over a dozen different kinds, including the sprouted 7 grain with organic ingredients and no enriched flours and that's only like 3-4 a loaf. In my experience, their products were worse when they first came over decades ago, but now they are cheaper and have higher quality items - especially things like bread and chocolate. Their vegetables are like 25% of the cost of other grocery stores here and they're great.

For chain grocery stores, there’s only a handful of companies but you likely are familiar with the names they might use locally.

I wish they would open some (or more) in Canada. We don't have any in Alberta and I really miss shopping there.
I compared Aldi and Walmart in my area. They came out about the same. I wonder why that is?
Idk. Our Aldi’s is mostly cheaper. On some things where they’re priced similarly, Aldi’s still has the better quality (at least produce). I’ve tried shopping at our Walmart for years but can’t cause the produce is horrendous. I’m not even looking for anything amazing- but can’t shop there cause the produce is either empty, half rotten, or other issues. Plus it’s just faster for me to get in and out of Aldi’s than Walmart and a better experience overall. I go to Meijer if I need to get anything non-grocery related or not at Aldi.
