Many people are choosing Aldi as their first stop for groceries for two reasons: the quality of the goods, and their budget friendly prices. The chain originated in Germany, but is quickly spreading all over the globe. Although many people likely consider Aldi to be a fairly new supermarket chain, it was actually founded shortly after the Second World War.
Aldi's unique approach is probably the reason that many people choose them over their competitors. Unlike all other supermarket chains, they carefully imitate popular branded products, often containing the same ingredients, and packaged similarly. In taste tests, Aldi products often rank above popular brands, and many of them have won a number of food and drink awards. In 2018, Aldi won the title of Grocer Of The Year at the Grocer Gold Awards. In addition to receiving this prestigious award and many others like it, the chain is also very budget-friendly.
A number of bloggers have taken to the web to deliver their views on the supermarket, and these are largely positive. In fact, many bloggers, family forums, and magazines have created budget meal plans using ingredients purchased from Aldi to feed families for a fraction of the cost.
In the past, many shoppers would visit other stores alongside Aldi to obtain all of the groceries they needed. This was mainly due to the fact that until recently, they didn't stock as much as their competitors. Fortunately, Aldi have recognised the need to stock a wider range of goods and now stock everything you could ever need. This includes all the usual store cupboard ingredients, fresh fruit and vegetables, frozen goods, meat and poultry, dairy products, vegan products, bakery products, and alcohol. Furthermore, the stores often feature different household items, kitchen appliances, stationary, clothing, and even plants.
For those on a budget, it's a great place to shop. Firstly, the goods are often significantly cheaper than you'll find anywhere else. Secondly, each week the store features a number of products that will be discounted further. This can often include products centred around a particular cuisine, such as Italian, Indian, or Asian. The chain also frequently offers items in bulk for additional savings such as washing detergent, and cleaning agents.
