Updated review: ;26 Sept 2024 Aldi in Europe is an entirely different matter. It is more like Trader Joe's in the States ( no surprise since TJ owns it and Lidl). In Portugal, Aldi is my favorite small supermarket, with quality merch and low prices. Ignore my review from 5 years ago, as it talks to a 5 year old start up Aldi in the US . I suspect the US. Concept has improved to keep up with its European heritage. Aldi is better in every respect in Europe, especially on the Iberian peninsula. For example, their flash frozen shrimp 12-15 size at around 12 Euro a kilo is worth twice the price. Same is true with specialty items like wine, liquor, cheese, and amazing breads. Some Trader Joe's items (nuts, candy, chocolate) are repackaged and bear the TJ logo. So .... I hope the Rte 9' Aldi has grown with the European parent. If so, it is a bargain supermarket that cannot be best //even by Costco standards. read more
