Watch out Wal-Mart, Aldi is ready to storm the US

We have a small Aldi's near us and the price of what they do have is great. but form what I see in their store they have a long ways to go to compete with Walmart. They don't have the variety nor the same products. Maybe in the future but from what I see in our Aldi store they have a long way to go. I shop Aldi's when ever I can but still have to go to other stores such as Wal-mart for a lot of things.

Aldi is really great and cheaper than Wal-Mart--however it is similar in size and items to its competitor Sav-A-Lot--who, unlike Aldi, alllows more than just cash as a payment. I don't keep the kind of cash a grocery order at Aldi might cost on me, so unless they allow more types of payments and grow a department store hooked on, it's likely they won't put Walmart out of business. It's great for grabbing a whole bunch of cheap food though--eggs only cost $.99 for large there and it is hard to find that size for under a dollar at any other store.

I would like to see someone do it. Not necessarily them, but someone.

Aldi is one of my favorite stores. I shop there at lease once every two weeks or more. The products are good and there is a good variety too. The fresh produce is less expensive than the local supermarkets.

I personally have no knowledge of this store Aldi but I know where I live Wal- Mart it the only place to shop unless you count K-Mart ( which I do not ) So for Christmas of course I had to go shopping at Walmart. After it was all said and done I had to take back thre items that I had bought for my four y/o because they didn't work. I was very disappointed in the prices to begin with and then after she opened them and they didn't work needless to say I was enraged .... So any type of competition for Walmart would be a great idea. Wonder if Aldi sells stocks ... lol Would love to invest in them right now.

I like aldi. they have good prices. I get alot more for my money when I shop there. I rarely go to walmart. I cant stand that store!!!! GO ALDI! lol.

[i]Hi eaforeman, In my personal experience, I prefer at Aldi also since it is more cheaper especially in this time of crisis! It is more practical to shop there but we can't avoid to miss also going to Walmart once in while! LOL![/i]

ARe you talking about aldi's the grocery store? Wow! It's good walmart has some competition.....with their bad reputation on how they treat some of their employees it would be good to have someone else give them a run for their money!

I know that Aldi is HUGE in Europe. I love this store. I only shop there rarely since it is located in the next large town from ours (about 20 minutes away). But it is GREAT!
