ALDI Q&A Tour

[@hernje]

Prices are better at Aldi, but it’s the quality of the food that makes them stand out to me. Meats, cheeses, desserts and produce are exceptional.

[@RickyIcecubes]

After a long period of reluctancy, I finally decided to give Aldi a try three years ago. I've been doing 90% of my grocery shopping there ever since. But I never noticed the oversized barcodes on their packaging until I watched this video. Lol!

[@GurlPrincess]

This is a very insightful and well presented video. More people should see this as a lot of people look down on Aldi simply because they don't know much about the companies practices.

[@mitzidankenbring452]

This is so funny to me! It's always the people griping, who have no idea what they are talking about, and are totally uneducated on the subjects that they insult! Research PEOPLE! Then you can make an "educated" judgement! Gossip is evil! This is a great video! If you pay close attention to what the lady says in the tour, Aldi has contracts with well-known manufacturing companies for most of their products! It's mostly name-brand products with different (Aldi) labels, i.e. Delmonte, Libby, Kraft, Totino, Kraft, etc. This is the same concept as any "Generic Products" that you buy in any grocery store that has a generic label. You may be more familiar with other Generic Labels like, Best Choice, Always Save, etc. I've been shopping at Aldi's in Marshall, Missouri, for about 30 years. I have saved a ton of money there, so that I could raise my 9 children and spend my money on other things. You don't need coupons to save money at Aldi! It's awesome!

[@TheTestingGrounds]

Their loss, our gain. Once I learned about Aldi I try to buy everything I need there. Unfortunately they don't have everything, but I believe they are working towards that whilst retaining their price advantage.

[@aydinowen8290]

Sorry to be so offtopic but does anybody know a tool to log back into an Instagram account..? I somehow forgot my password. I would love any tricks you can give me.

[@ricardokylo7249]

@Aydin Owen instablaster :)

[@aydinowen8290]

@Ricardo Kylo I really appreciate your reply. I found the site through google and I'm in the hacking process atm. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@chris2goo]

For people outside the US the question "Why do the cashiers sit" @ 13:15 is very funny, because they find it strange why the cashiers in the US have to stand all day.

[@moonunit1980]

chris2goo Exactly, its stupid to make someone stand when it isn't necessary.

[@drewamazon5457]

chris2goo In Europe employers provide seats for there cashiers since they do appreciate there works more

[@davidmcmahon7463]

+chris2goo It's the same in Australia they stand, I live in Scotland and all the cashiers have seats in all the large supermarkets ,its the norm.

[@letscook63]

I didn't know that USA cashiers stand ?!

[@llothar68]

In Germany the cashiers are rotating very fast while they are also responsible for filling the shelfes. Ever tried to do some shop lifting? So easy in an ALDI store as there are usually only 3 people working but there is nothing worth stealing it you would have to escape with a huge bag of items. Another thing where they save moeny

[@Familytoyreport]

Amazing prices at ALDI! Thanks for sharing the tour! Enjoyed!

[@edumaros25]

Please take over walmart.

[@NoorAnomaly]

I used to work for Aldi before I had kids, and they're a great company to work for. Hard work, but fun. Anyway, we had as a goal to unload a pallet of groceries (stacked about 6 ft tall) in under 25 minutes. Working morning shifts always gave me a good workout. ;)

[@Splitsterrr]

Just a reminder of today. 14 grocery this morning. lol gotta love my job. #Aldi

[@SuperSlimshady1]

SpringMommy theres a store opening up near me and theres a hiring event they are holding what position is the best? which position should i apply for since u worked there and if u could jus tell me some general things about th job/company anything that could help me thnxz

[@Atlas92936]

SuperSlimshady1 did you get the job

[@AmiyrahMartin]

This was really helpful! I always wondered why the cashiers got to sit down. Makes perfect sense.

[@SuperSlimshady1]

Amiyrah Martin and if uve ever had to stand for 4-8 hours u wanna sit i love it

[@drewamazon5457]

There chocolate bars are much better than the national brand ones and they even cost less.

[@tremorist]

The chocolate is imported from Germany and Switzerland.

[@shestudios]

RE: GMO... Be ethical and proactive. Remove it. Don't wait for customer trends. People don't want that in their food. Thank you for posting this video.

[@hxcAMBERhxc]

I see your point, but not everyone agrees. I don't mind GMOs. It shouldn't be the store's place to decide what is best for their customers. They should only remove items that they personally don't wish to carry, so if the store has no issue with GMO, then it should be their call not to remove it.

[@Jemalacane0]

There is nothing wrong with GMOs. In fact, they are often better, sometimes much better than their non GMO counterparts.

[@maddyg2320]

Gammareign ...Nothing wrong with GM foods? Really? It's been proven that GM foods cause cancer along with many more illnesses so how is it that you see nothing wrong with it and even say it's better than non GM foods? You're posting lies regarding how dangerous that crap is to all of us and to the animals as well! Are you in the GM food industry or just uneducated in the subject?

[@alexrajcevic7370]

Aldi does not sell GMO food at all

[@ZAPPABABURUUU]

this is cool. I usually get my produce and some specialty things at ALDI's. The organic stuff they've got is better than Walmart (I mean, seriously...Walmart's produce is GMO crap!) But it's also cheaper than a lot of the other stores, usually even Walmart.

[@gypsyThree97]

Aldi = Awesome

[@mrcmfig1533]

i work in an aldi distribution warehouse in England very good pay over first year is over £9per hour after a year it is over £10.50 great people to work with all management are people who started at bottom and worked there way up in now way is an aldi job a dead end job. they support so many British farmers. its hard work but but they pay u for it. . its the best job ive ever had i am apprwshiated at work and i am made to feel important to the company

[@teacupterrier783]

I do most of my shopping at aldi now. They have the best chocolates right from Germany, they have awesome cookies and other snacks, those veggie root chips you eat at the end are delicious, they just have great products. They don't have as much products as a regular giant grocery store so if you want a wide selection of stuff like hot sauces, rice, international food items, you're not going to find that at aldi. But for the every day stuff they're great.

[@kericurtis8235]

I live in a smaller, rural area about 2 hours Southwest of Chicago, so ours isn't as big. My dad used to stop in our local Aldi for a few items some 30 years ago...back when all they carried were canned goods & cheap soda. I really started shopping there about 17 years ago because their produce was always so much better than the other stores in town. Their oranges were so good. (Always disappointed when I paid for dry, mealy, sour oranges.) That led me to shopping there for a lot more items. It's a try & buy...you may not like some of their branded items vs. the name brand, but you'll for sure find many that you do. It's so worth it & can save you a lot of money. They've really amped up their items & quality in the past couple of years, too. I do the bulk of my shopping there & then fill in w/ the other stores where needed. They've even gotten much better toilet paper now, too...just like the name brand...one more thing I can get there...yea!! I've gotten my sister that lives in a suburb of Chicago shopping there, too. She's an avid Aldi fan for a few years now. Whoot-Whoot! Love saving money & running across their non-regular treasures you're also sure to find.

[@Bold24]

welcome to german efficiency!

[@cal88usa]

Thanks for making this video. I live in Southern California and two stores are opening in my area. I live in La Puente, Ca and one is opening about 2miles from my house. I work in Azusa, Ca and one is opening a block from my job. Ones again thank you very much for posting this video.

[@SuperSlimshady1]

[@crews-lj3ph]

Best store ever

[@kattakethat]

I wonder how long was spent tidying the store, no store I've worked in in my area has never looked that tidy during the day ever it's way to busy to constantly keep on top of the entire store! It's amazing if they can tho I'd love to their secret if they do

[@rita111549]

Kathryn Pollard aldi In New Brunswick Nu is just that clean where do you live

[@danieljones5217]

How did a small Channel get such a great video? Great job

[@saraho6835]

Thank you for doing this we are getting one in our town and it's nice to know what to expect

[@emm0806]

I love Aldi! Used to shop there all the time when I lived up north. Hopefully we'll get one in Colorado soon.

[@skenney8325]

I did notice that they marked up (way up, for them) the prices at Christmas for butter, milk, eggs, etc. They went back down, but near what they were before Christmas.

[@tremorist]

As a german it is very interesting to see the little differences. thx

[@d.elainem664]

Great job!

[@NAWennerholm]

I spotted an Aldi in Oxnard California on my way to a meeting with my family and a friend was driving since non of us drive. Or used to but can't any more for health reasons.

[@mgster100]

awesome store! We love it!

[@dl6216]

so professional to see the aldi worker just checking facebook or tinder in the background @ 4:00.. she comes back at 5:45 to check her phone again lol and Again at 6:30..also 8:20 pretending to look at an item but still on her phone

[@adecuir8]

Thank you so much for this video! Very informative!

[@evilpagan2342]

Aldi is German and also has owned Trader Joe's in the US since the 80's. ;)

[@Velerios]

That's not exactly right. Aldi Nord (Aldi North) owns Trader Joe's while Aldi Süd (Aldi South) owns the Aldi Stores in the US. Aldi means Albrecht Discount. In the 1950 the two brothers had a different view how the stores should be and so they split up. Aldi Nord and Aldi Süd are 2 completely different companies, only the name is the same. Aldi Nord took the north of Germany while Aldi South went to the south until now. And except in Germany and in the US they are never both in the same country. It's the same Family, but they are still completely different companies.

[@llothar68]

Bit Trader Joe's was never germanized, the other way around. Trader Joe products americanized the german ALDI stores a lot.

[@MoccaPrincess223]

Nice well put together video on Aldi's!! Your son is super adorable!! I have tried Aldi's in the past and it was great when I was pressed for cash and I needed food in my home...but honestly never liked it at all...so needless to say I am never going back. Keep up the genre at work with your informative videos.

[@ОлегСамсонов-л6щ]

Hello! Looked tour of the store, it is very interesting. I would like to know about the scaffolding upon which the goods which layout in the sales area, the types of scaffolding and their sizes. Can you have this information or you know who to contact in this regard. Thank you.

[@nicholasmenasian1142]

Yes and my aidi is the opposite of that one

[@gregnixon1296]

Labeling the foods’ country of origin is a big plus for me.

[@gazed1435]

most states in Australia, have had Aldi for the last 15 Years, except West Australia were i am, the state government has kept Aldi out, been a long battle for Aldi for all them years, but opening 1st store here soon, food here in West Australia is 50% more expencive than other states

[@strawberryrhubarbpie]

they just opened an Aldi in my small town, Lehigh Acres FL. so excited!

[@tonia2483]

[@davidmcmahon7463]

Love Aldi ,I have been shopping there since 92 in my home town in Fife,Scotland but do not enter their on-line competition's as you will be charged 4-5Pound;s for every entry!many other large stores are up to the same gimmick so be warned!as it can result in a hefty "Bill".

[@mymodestlife43]

Great video. TFS!!! I'm gonna stop by Aldi this weekend.

[@AshleyTheOneandOnly]

so do they take debit cards?

[@RoniNoone]

They do! And cash but no credit.

[@AshleyTheOneandOnly]

***** thank you

[@gatebuffles]

They accept ebt, cash, and debit. They just started accpting credit cards last year.

[@peterforeman5738]

Thanks for the great video Aldi has put many stores around Australia and use a lot of local suppliers and a lot cheaper than Coles an Woolworths I love Aldi downunder

[@mgilmar11]

Man. I just love Aldi so much. Every time I watched a video like this I get behind them more and more. I've even made a video dedicated to Aldi on my Channel! I'm in LOVE.

[@mariamassimigliano2831]

often I shop at Aldi - ..unfortunately this is not the first time I find out that I was charged for items but did not find them in my bags, useless trying to phone back, the store does not have any contact phone number nor web site, it is very annoying not to find items paid for when back home, especially am not very near the shop at least a person can call back to see if it is worth or not going back to pick the missing items or they are lost for ever or can go another day to get them......... very very very annoying.

[@leannapaigee546]

I always called it fluff!!!! And I've lived in the U.S my whole life lol

Like Millville is a # one brand of Aldi's

[@swishasweet2433]

I live walking distance from Aldi!

[@MrJonasBager]

Aldi only put a huge amount of bar codes on the object cause you are too drunk to get it right the first time. I once scanned a bag of chips and it turned out to be the price of a child bike :)

[@sebastianladrondeguevara1723]

Now hiring?

[@LocalManMike]

Why do they have PLU codes instead of barcodes on their produce. Barcode are clearly quicker to scan..... Flawed logic.

[@TheStarStrangled]

+Michael Fairley I work there, and we don't scan produce, we have codes memorized for each produce item. That way as soon as we see a produce item we just type in the code and press enter, simple as that. :) It's actually much quicker, especially once you get to used to it. Though at the beginning it's definitely a bit intimidating having that many numbers to memorize. Lol.

[@erikawilliams6204]

becayse produce is by weight not a set price. you cant capture weight if you just scan a barcode. so we put said prode on the scanner/scale and enter the PLU.

[@americanwasherfan]

I'm from Germany and Aldi is an German Supermarekt you can find it at every coner like Walmart in the U.S but I'm shoked this store dosent look like our Aldi there is Nothing the same. :O

[@llothar68]

It doesn't look like ALDI Nord.

[@michaelamagdalena6933]

In Austria Hofer = Aldi IS on almost every street corner, at last in my city. One if about 5 minutes away from me, another one about 10, another one about 15 - 20, a second one 15 - 20, oh, and there is even a third one that is 15 - 20 minutes away. They are almost everywhere here. And most people who go there go for those specials they get every Monday and Thursday, sometimes it can be certain food items, even name brands that they have until they run out and then maybe half a year or a year later they have them again. But most of the time it's things like clothing, kitchen items, yarn, things for school and office, seasonal decorations, even small furniture, etc. I don't find a lot of food that I like there, but like to browse their specials, and that's also what they really make their money with because they are not really much cheaper than when you buy them somewhere else or might even cost about the same, certain items though are definitely cheaper. But if you see something that you need then you won't really compare prices if you have 10 of their stores in walking distance.

[@debbieallen2686]

We have a aldi store where I live. After reading all the positive comments about the store i decited to give it a try. I bought only the store brand there the aldi brand of eveeyrhing. The ham I bought was the best we have ever had. As for the coffee and caned foods it's the biggest mistake I've made. They are terrible. The frozen fries I bought we can not eat them. If I ever go back it will be for the ham only other than that I won't shop there again.

[@overmarsdaria3222]

Maybe they are cheap but some of the quality are poor, also their customer service stinks, you can t complain and at the Till they treat you like at the cattle market.

[@christinewoodall2702]

Check out Bar codes on Aldi products This is worth knowing, so take the time to read this, especially the 2nd bit.... A week or so ago, Current Affair did a Report on frozen vegetables imported from New Zealand. As it turns out if it is a Coles or Woollies home brand there is a more than good chance that the product has come from China. Products made by McCain’s, Birdseye and other supposed reputable companies from New Zealand are now purchasing vegie products from China and selling that product under their name. Basically check where it is produced by the comments on the back of the pack and if it says produced from New Zealand and Imported product it has Chinese vegies in it, put it back on the shelf. I would even go as far as to say, even if it has product of New Zealand on it, I would be suspicious about where those vegies in that pack come from. I suppose to play it safe unless it has been grown and packed in Australia stay away from it unless you don’t mind digesting poisons. Pretty scary stuff!! Learn from BARCODES This will cheer you up, hope you're not having chicken for dinner Please remember.......the Australian barcode prefix is 93 PLEASE NOTE - if you love Australian produce and the thought of keeping jobs here, AND you like to eat healthy foods and buy quality products, then please read on. Please also note the Australian barcode prefix is 93. DANGEROUS IMPORTED FOODS There are no food inspection regulations of foods grown or processed in China, Vietnam, Hong Kong or Thailand. Other world countries are scared of China making 'black hearted goods’, but can you differentiate which one is made in Australia, the USA, The Philippines, Taiwan or China? For your Information ... The first 3 digits of the barcode is the country code where-in the product was made. Example: all barcodes that start with 690; 691 through to 699 are all MADE IN CHINA. 471 is Made in Taiwan . This is our right to know, but our governments and related departments never educate the public, therefore we have to RESCUE OURSELVES. Nowadays, Chinese businessmen know that consumers do not prefer products 'made in china', so they don't show from which country it is made. However, you may now refer to the barcode. Remember, if the first 3 digits are 690 through to 695, then it is Made in China. Don't forget, Hong Kong is now China, too. 00 ~ 13 USA and CANADA 30 ~ 37 FRANCE 40 ~ 44 GERMANY 49 ~ JAPAN 50 ~ UK 57 ~ DENMARK 64 ~ FINLAND 76 ~ SWITZERLAND and LIECHTENSTEIN 93 ~ AUSTRALIA 628 ~ SAUDI ARABIA 629 ~ UNITED ARAB EMIRATESs 740-745 ~ CENTRAL AMERICAa All 480 Codes are Made in THE PHILIPPINES.. DO NOT BUY FOOD PROCESSED IN CHINA, HONG KONG, VIETNAM or THAILAND!!! Remember, there are no food inspection regulations!!! WATCH WHAT YOU BUY. ESPECIALLY 'HIGHLINER' FISH PRODUCTS; all come from China, even though the box says 'product of Canada', it is from China and'processed' in Canada, that is, only the coating is added and packaged in Canada. The fish are raised in pens using chemicals that are banned in Canada as cancer-causing but legal in China. This was exposed on CBC TV's 'Marketplace'. Please think before buying anything from China. Avoid buying all processed food packaged in China. Anything goes! We just don't know what else is in those packages. Unlike the United States and Canada (and Australia, Germany, France, Italy, Great Britian et al). China does not have laws regulating food processing. Basically, do not buy any processed food from China. This includes Hong Kong. MANY companies are using a Hong Kong address to avoid this type of image reputation. Send to as many people as possible. Do NOT buy food originating in China (or Vietnam or Thailand)! Take the time to read the labels and look for country of origin! Your Health is at Stake! REMEMBER THE AUSTRALIAN BARCODE PREFIX???? IT IS 93
