Does Aldi provide better deals than Walmart?

I used to shop there, but the prices were comparable and everything went bad fast.

That is what fresh food not overloaded with preservatives will do. You should really make fresh produce shopping more of a daily activity as you need it. But not everyone has that kind of time understandably bi-weekly also doable for truly fresh produce along with you plan out your meals for the week

What are you talking about? Kroger is not injecting their apples with preservatives.

Are you fucking joking? You expect a single parent working two jobs to go shopping daily as well?

Calm down, that was a general statement that is true. If your circumstances don’t allow it, that sucks.

If you actually continue on to read the entire message you’ll notice the part where I mentioned that not everyone has that kind of time

Yeah, that’s because the food is fresh and less treated than what most Americans are used to. Going bad fast is not necessary a bad thing.

Fresh is not necessarily better, there’s nothing wrong with frozen food if you don’t mind the texture. And no it’s not like Kroger is injecting preservatives in apples.

No, it’s because it’s old produce that is close to expiring.

The aldi simps here are insane, but another reason why I don’t take the masses seriously anymore.

I’m an Aldi simp too!!! Aldi is far superior to Walmart, I never expect my fruits and vegetables to last more than a week and Aldi is good with that. I will never buy produce or meat at Walmart, the things they do to their meat is disgusting. I buy most my non perishables from Walmart, Aldi for other things, and then Costco every couple of weeks. I’m also a Costco simp. In my experience to get the best quality and price you gotta go to multiple places.

Side note, season, time of year changes where produce is the best. Cucumbers in summer at Aldi where I live aren’t good.

Aldi provides way better working conditions than Walmart, that’s for sure. Imagine being able to sit during a job that doesn’t require standing – in America!!!

I didn’t even know that was an option until I walked into an Aldi.

Almost everything at Aldi is private label, which is why it is cheaper (again you only find a few recognizable name brands). However, I will not by fresh foods from Aldi as most of the time as it goes bad fast. I do like their snacks and prepackaged deli stuff tho.

That’s what fresh food is, not filled with preservatives and processed garbage that contributes to chronic low grade inflammation

Is their food really “fresher” than Walmarts?

Can you provide any sources to back up that claim?

The fact it goes off quicker is the key piece of evidence. Obviously, they sell items in preserves too, they are a supermarket, and walmart will sell fresh items, but aldis main shtick and selection focus is “fresh, good quality and cheap”, but stocks vary a lot, so you need to be comfortable with some items not being available sometimes.

For example, I wanted cherry tomatoes last week, but they had none so I had to have piccolo tomatoes instead.
