Aldi's stores are small, and located in predominately lower income areas, but
not exclusively.
You have to bring your own bag, and you have to pay for a cart, $0.25.
They are actually encroaching into higher income areas, and they have a weekly

How big are the stores? They don't look that big and sort of remind of
the Grocery Outlet which are franchises and a different kind of model
selling near pull date and overstock items at a reduced price. Trader
Joe's only likes to put their stores in areas where the populace is more
highly e
They have funny signs throughout the stores and cashiers use little cash boxes
to make your change.

Well, that's also the key to IKEA's success. Everything, as far as I can see,
is IKEA Brand, including 60 watt LED bulbs for around $1.00 ea. Or at least
that's what they seemed to be during their pre-opening sale.

Doing your own house label eliminates the middle man and thus allowing
for lower prices. There was also the UK chain Fresh and Easy which
didn't work out around here.

Of course, everything they have is private label, which is key to their
success and profit.

In our case we have both Aldi's and Trader Joe's. On Valentine's Day, I went
to the wholesale florist on florist row which is not too far from home. They
had "grab and go" roses for $24.00/12. I debated a while, and then decided I'd
try Aldi's where I've gotten them in the past. Sure enough,
I recall seeing a story about the Cadbury thing. If I recall right
Nestle's took over distribution and changed the recipe so they could use
cheaper chocolate. You do know there was a shortage a year or two ago

Aldi in the US is Trader Joe's. I often get by the local one about 6
miles away once a month. I like their dark chocolate bar with is around
$2. Also our regional grocery chain Raley's, tries to compete with some

Consumer Reports has on occasion done a comparison on chocolates. Hershey's
has always fared pretty well.
I read that Cadbury's uses a slightly different recipe in the US than in
Britain.
Of course the season for Cadbury is coming up here. Otherwise you don't
really find them.

They do have Aldi in the States.
I live in London and I've *never* seen one of their stores. Lidl (also a
German cut-price supermarket) is far more common here.
Yank chocolate isn't bad but it's not a patch on UK chocolate.
Can the Aldi brand really compare with Cadbury's milk chocolat
Don't know if they have "Aldi's" over there, but I have found their chocolate
bars to be quite good and fairly priced. I particularly like the milk
chocolate, and the 35% cocoa solids bars.
Nice packaging as well.
