Aldi Just Announced a Major Change to Grocery Prices, Lowering Prices

Oh absolutely. I remember when rent prices dropped in the deep pandemic- absolutely newsworthy.

Growing up in a small town in the South it was kind of crazy when Aldi and Lidl set up nearby. Not only are the prices so much better on nearly everything but in general the quality of the products was much better than at existing local grocery stores.

The only thing is they're (especially Aldi) missing a few things that either someone in my household is fussy about the brand or sometimes some regional things. Like you're not going to find some of the particular ingredients you might want when cooking soul food.

Combo of Aldi's and a local store got me through college. Got cheap as fuck meat (bless $3/lbs ground pork) at the local store, everything else at Aldi's

It's also often better groceries, especially the fruit and veggies.

Aldi is awesome. As someone who pseudo-homesteads, if I can't grow it or raise it, I buy it from Aldi. It's the next best thing.

My dude, their seasonal coffees and every chocolate product in that building, you gotta try them! Those little burnt caramel chocolate bars at the checkout are more decadent than any premium chocolate I've ever bought!

No, it’s the framing. Consider this sentence from the story. Does it sound like it was written by a journalist reporting facts or a public relations specialist?

“There’s no frills — just high-quality products at affordable prices which is what customers have grown to love and rely on.”

That’s all opinion. Certainly you can find some products at Aldi that are not high quality, and speaking for what “all consumers have grown to love” is backed by any evidence.

It’s a lightly repackaged press release.

And all negative ones are ads for the competition.

Yes.

That's not a picnic, that's a movie meal. Picnics should be fried chicken, watermelon, and mac n' cheese.

Yeah, wtf. How can ANYONE EVER picnic without a bagwette? Like, duh.

Sacre bleu!

I had no idea there was such a thing as a Leatherman for high-class occasions.

Upvoted for Leatherman. My Wave+ is amazing

It's something that has existed for decades, possibly close to a century now? It typically includes two small plates, two white mouth wine glasses, two spoons, forks and knives, space for a wine bottle with a way to keep it chilled, food and usually some space for napkins and such.

Just checked and Amazon does indeed sell them, some are pretty fancy haha.
