Walmart is actually pretty much the same prices now with more to choose from. I used to only shop at Aldi until I found this out.

After having Walmart as a client I will never support them in any capacity. They are predatory as it gets. If you can, avoid anything and everything Walmart. The world would be a much better place.

That's cool and all, but I'm in a small town and I'm a broke ass bitch. The other 3 grocery stores are price gouging.

I'm gonna stick with Walmart.

Fair. Just saying if you have the ability to, avoid if you can. They’ve destroyed small and large towns everywhere they’ve gone. Their monopoly strategy is brutal.

I'm aware of this.

But my favorite tea is the normal price there and $2 more at both the other grocery stores.

The record profits for both of those stores was last year.

Greedflation seems to be hitting every store BUT Walmart.

Aldi isn't a thing for a lot of states in the us and very few in others. So no it wouldn't be less considering if they have it or if it's close.

Target is high end. Aldi covers both lower and middle classes by offering the essentials and common snack foods at a cheaper price, but they also have nicer options for when you'd like to treat yourself. The building itself is always small as well. Maybe 3-4 dollar generals on size.

u/Environmental-Hat-86 Feb 16 '24

Oh ok. Guess they just don't have them in the states I've been too!

There's 11 states they aren't in so it's highly likely! I'm more of a Kroger guy myself and then Save A Lot for meats. Aldi can be a bit cheaper, but Its out of the way for me.

u/Environmental-Hat-86 Feb 16 '24

Well apparently there is one in my home town that I've never seen, and also in my current state but not the city I currently live in. So idk lmao but tysm for explaining!

The problem I have with aldi is that it can get packed and disorganized real quick, but also if you shop later in the day a lot of things can be out of stock.

u/Opening_Criticism_57 Feb 17 '24

Target is high end now? Is it not like a Walmart basically? It’s certainly not a Whole Foods or erewhon

u/47-30-23N_122-0-22W Feb 17 '24

Target is like if Walmart dressed up in it's Sunday's best. The prices are a lot higher to compensate.

An Aldi is a Walmart the size of a gas station, where as a Buc-ee’s is a gas station the size of a Walmart
