The Aldi/lidl staples are great especially nuts, granola, crackers, avocado oil. Agree on produce.

Back of the envelope calculations based on the pic, it tracks. I live in California and this haul would be around $100.

Prices were outrageous when Obama was president too. But people will keep voting for more of the same 😞

Look outside of this country and realize that it’s the same issue worldwide.

Shopping at a discount supermarket yesterday (Lidl), I got eggs, milk, butter, flour, a couple of types of cheeses, yogurt, spaghetti squash, zucchini, cucumbers, tomatoes, a couple of types of berries, apples, plums, tomato paste, passata, pasta, pickles, dried beans, oatmeal, frozen fish, potatoes, rice, garlic, and a few other things for $100. This will last us for 1.5 weeks with what we have in the pantry/freezer.

Lidl produce is disgusting.

I haven’t found that to be the case at all, actually. But we eat a mostly veg diet, and plow through produce. I would rather get produce at a farmer’s market or Whole Paycheck, but Lidl is substantially cheaper. Our Lidl (Takoma Park) is better than the other Lidls I have tried (e.g., College Park).

Is it just Lidl or does Aldi count too?

+100


Lidl and Aldi……they’re cheap for a reason.

Biden inflation

Speaking of Lidl they're hiring a Director of Corporate Affairs.

NP. We shopped at Lidl for years and stopped this past year. We routinely got produce that rotted after a day or two - went from underripe to rotten in a shockingly short time. Also ground lamb that was bad when we opened it and yogurt that was almost expired
and not edible. I’ve never had success at Aldi because we have too many food allergies.

I did find a Super Walmart in the exurbs that has amazing prices for packaged goods ($3-4 cheaper than Whole Foods for go-go squeezes, for example).

Or a whole beef tenderloin and one or two lobsters.

Usually a whole beef tenderloin is at least $100 by itself; sometimes more.
