[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s clear that those who stick their nose up at Lidl and Aldi will always do so, no matter what. Whole Foods shoppers will not be happy there. It is not because there is a difference in quality (and in any event both stores have a double your money back guarantee), it is bc they believe there is a difference. That is exactly how WF gets repeat customers.

I urge those who want to save money to try those 2 stores with an open mind. (Let me guess…WF posters are about to say they did so- no, you didn’t).  [/quote]

You are accusing others of doing what you are doing yourself, failing to be open minded.

I shop at Lidl and Whole Foods every week. I go into both stores all the time. I know the pros and cons of both stores. You are flat out wrong *wrong* in claiming there is no difference in quality, which probably wins for the most foolish comment for the week. It doesn't mean Lidl is bad, it doesn't sell rotten food, the bakery is pretty decent, and there is some overlap that makes Lidl the better value for some items. But Lidl is also cheap for a reason.

If Lidl/Aldis were really that amazing while being cheap, they'd drive out every other supermarket out of business. But they aren't.

I encourage you to be open minded and try out Whole Foods. You might be surprised. But I suspect you are someone who doesn't care about the taste, flavor and freshness of food. You just care about how cheap it is and that you saved $40 out of the weekly shop. Which is fine if that is your priority. [/quote]
