ALDI and LIDL explained

The two most popular discount giants Aldi and Lidl!
If you love a good bargain chances are you frequently shop at one of them.

As someone who didn't grow up with aldi or lidl, I was intrigued by the two store
I was hesitant at first but now shop there very often because of the prices and conveniences in many ways.

So I decided to dive in and explore the history, what makes aldi and lidl a discount store, their impact in other countries and answer the same old question of which on is better Lidl or Aldi.

„Either way it doesn’t matter because you’re going to shop at the store closest to you.“ Truer words were never said.

I work at Aldi, and honestly, we unpack, Take card of the shelves, and do till, while managing customers all at the same time. Its quite fun.

I personally like Lidl way more because of the higher ceilings and general vibe.
Back in the day Lidl didn’t have A-brand products in NL like Coca Cola so for those I went to Aldi.
I’ve never been to an Aldi süd though!

That Julién guy really looks like he knows what he's talking about

Great video. Very informative. I like the way you cover this topic. One idea for you is food preferences by country. Like in the US, juice preferences are orange, apple, & grape. I hear carrot juice is popular in Germany. All countries have their preferences. Fav veggie broccoli 🥦 or cabbage 🥬

I live in London.
Lidl is about 20-40 % cheaper than Sainsbury’s or Tesco. They also have German food and beers. I love ReWe in Hannover. A great shop. I miss living in Germany. Much better than the uk.
Great video.

My family thoroughly enjoyed your video. Thank you for sharing the history and your perspective. You had us all laughing! We have been shopping at Aldi for years and a new Lidl is about to open down the street in our American town.

I lived in a student dorm in Lichtenberg, Berlin and aldi, netto, lidl and rewe were all pretty equidistant for me. Aldi was the closest. Though I always preferred lidl. Even over rewe.

Though after a while you develop a roadmap of which store is better for what.

I went ro rewe only for cheese, milk and ready to eat foods. And this insanely cute cashier that I *still* have a crush on though its been 3 years since I left Berlin.
Lidl for produce and most other raw materials.

The aldi near me was DEPRESSING though that particular branch had some of the best croissants I ever had in any store. So I went there for those.

And I went to netto pretty much never ever 😆

I watched this to see what other people thought about the two super markets. Our ALDI closed for refurbishment so went to lidl instead. I definitely prefer Lidl because the shop was tidy well organised and the isles were wider . Our local ALDI has constantly blocked narrow isles with staff filling shelves in multiple places at the same time. You also have to watch out for staff flying out of stock room doors at 30MPh / 50kph with a pallet truck . Lidl definitely felt nicer and more inviting. 🇬🇧

I did not expect this video to be so entertaining and informative. Great work!

Small correction, Aldi Sud is a pretty recent entrant to Italy and they go by the "Aldi" branding. The "Hofer" mark might be used in Sudtirol/Alto Aldige which is the German speaking region in the northeast of Italy. There are not as many Aldis in Italy compared to Lidl who is the big leader followed by Penny and then Italian discounters like Eurospin and MD Market. The three big German discount chains have been expanding rapidly in Italy. I tend to split between Lidl and Penny depending on which is closest to me at the time.

Interesting connection between Trader Joe’s and Aldi north… I’ve found Trader Joe’s Mac and cheeses repackaged as lidl branded in the us before!!

I love that you can make every topic seem interesting, funny, and engaging! I hope you will keep making videos, Erika! Have a great day.

Hello Erika, my favorite vegetable is potato. I really liked your video! Thank you. I found it very informative. Carrot is good too!

I LOVE Trade Joe's. I can't explain. I just love it.

[kristenlong]

I learned something new. I heard about Trader Joe's in the early 2000s at the same time everyone in my area was talking about Whole Foods. I always thought Trader Joe's was associated with Whole Foods, a smaller version. Turns out. It's not. So, I will stop avoiding this discount store, especially since it's similar to Aldi. Thank you for improving my knowledge about my local stores in Georgia, United States.

this is the best channel. only now I feel like I understand german culture.before I didnt notice the details
this channel is going to be big

[flygirlfly]

I love the historical origin stories of these stores. I love Lidl brand of strawberry jam.
Aldi has raised it prices noticeably here, in the U.S. Midwest.
Especially, dairy products -- butter is $4.99/lb. The local grocery store chain has it on sale: 2lb/$5.00.
⭐️⭐️you should do Penny Markt.
