For real. Aldi doesn't pretend to be a normal grocery. Everyone knows its for the lowest priced staples and almost perfect record of having certain house brand foods who's inferiority to the name brand is immediately noticeable. Everyone knows that. It's for folks like myself who don't mind paying much less for raisins that are dry, sticky and have sand in them, knock off cereal that tastes about 70% like the real thing, tortilla chips that double as drink coasters, and super cheap sandwich cheese where Sargento would cost about twice as much. The milk tastes the same as it uses the same brand name cows as the other guys. The bread is well very bready and trying to say there's a difference is like that famous humiliating wine test that everyone sites as why wine experts are full of shit. And Haribo gummies for .89 cents! Aldi is for folks who either absolutely have to or don't mind paying less for certain foods that they know darn well aren't as good as the name brands but that maximizing their dollar is their number one priority.
