In June 2022, I explored the German supermarket Lidl I am not familiar with this store. I normally shop at Aldi. since June 2022, the prices may vary. Some of the items are more expensive now due the infation .There’s not much of a difference between the small supermarkets each store has different specials each week. I just prefer the supermarket I go all the time because I know exactly where to find what I need but it was cool to see a different store.

Those beer prices are insane! Cheaper than bottled water in the US

[@markhoeks4620]

The average german earns €2200 a month, how much average people earn in US? Prices depends on incomes i think

[@joanlynch5271]

The packaged baked goods were really cheap too.

[@klauskruger6187]

You don't get it. In Germany, the Beer QUALITY is insane. Who the f... drinks water? Water, according to the US water industry quality, in Germany comes out of the tap. There is no no need to buy water in bottles. But if they do, every plastic bottle will be recycled.

Even at the clubs, if you return the bottle or the cap, they will give you another for free.

[@ReachForTheSky]

Your grocery store videos are always interesting. I love Lidl and Aldi, we have both in the UK, sometimes right next to each other! Can't beat the prices. About 15 years ago when they started getting more popular here, they had a bit of a bad reputation with expiry dates and food that was beginning to go bad. They changed that around quite a long time ago, but sometimes you don't have a long time to eat the food, especially fruit and vegetables. Aside from that it's great.

[@upstate23]

There are aldi and lidil in Ireland, been to Aldi in Dublin while visiting there and in Germany while living there. Aldi in Ireland and Germany are bigger than here in NY

Lidl is also widely spread in Czech. Matter fact it is the cheapest grocery chain over there and therefore the most popular in terms of the number of shoppers.

[@davidkai2694]

I was in Lidl's yesterday love shopping in there

[@djm5k]

From what I can find, there are only Lidl stores on the east coast of the US at this point. Just give it time and they will be in every state like Aldi. There are many Aldi’s in my state, and about two years ago or so, they opened one just down the street from me, however, I rarely go there, as most of their products are too strange. It gets me how many of their house brand products are packaged in similar design and color boxes as the US brands, and if you are not paying close attention to what you are buying, you might pick up an imposter product by mistake. Most are pretty much exactly the same as the name brand and just cheaper.

[@Whimsystreetwreaths]

11:22 wow. I wish we had these prices in the U.S. The food prices in U.S have just skyrocketed. It is very hard to make it here now! Thanks for the video! And keeping us informed on prices abroad!

I’m learning some German from watching your videos!

[@joanlynch5271]

I think that surimi is a type of sushi. Maybe it's the processed crab that they put in the California wrap. In California we have Aldi and trader Joe's.

[@paulgrant421]

I love that the Lidl and Rewe are right next to each other, literally in the same building, in my BiL's neighborhood in NRW. If one doesn't have what you need, walk 20 feet to the other. And despite being small stores, each has walls full of candy. And a bakery when you first walk in with fresh brötchen. Lecker!

[@renesauer5841]

I have that in my city too. first it was just a huge edeka-center, but then they massively shrunk it to make space for an aldi 😂

No parking restrictions yet at Lidl in the US, as far as I know. I like their croissants. Still looking for that curry ketchup though!

[@sphhyn]

We have that time limit at most grocery store parking lots in Germany. But it’s mostly 2 or 3 hours instead of only one. The reasons is to prevent people from using it as a permanent parking space or as a parking space near a train station when they commute to work. Parking space it often very limited here. I would think in most places in the US they don’t have that problem.

[@blueybarnes9442]

I’m an American/Brit (born USA but duel national) and Lidls hit the UK in 1995 (in the town where I was living) ….Aldi came not longer after . After some time (many years) they eventually took a bite out of the UK grocery market and are really a godsend for there keen prices. UK Lidl is actually cheaper than Germany 🇩🇪 lol 😂 and Aldi to . Both great stores especially during such tough times ! I’m back in California for now not far from Long Beach 🏝️ Love the show Mike as always ❤ Take care dude and love to mom and gogo ❤

[@timnoel511]

Mike you mentioned you were going to miss the prices in Germany because they are way cheaper than Trader Joe's and Ralph's in America. Both of those stores are expensive, but we go to a cheaper market in California called Stater Brothers. They are all over California. I'm sure there's one near you in Venice. And in my opinion the groceries are just as good there as the expensive stores. You should try shopping at Stater Brothers. You will save a lot of money.

[@davinnicode]

Lidl is one of the best discounters in my opinion. They really have everything you need for a very cheap a price and most of the time it is quality. Lidl invested heavily in their store appearance and their product range over the last 25 years. Back in the day every discounter looked really cheap and old fashioned, kind of dirty at times but now the new stores are flooded with daylight and the aisles are wide enough for at least 2 shopping carts. I think Aldi still is in the leading position amongst discounters in europe but Lidl is really pushing them.

[@maxpax7389]

Tegut and Aldi are the best. Best priced Vegetables are in Lidl though. And yeah. Lidl is much better than 25 years ago.

In the U.K. there is a cost of living crisis at the moment, with food prices and energy bills skyrocketing. But Lidl’s has done a good job, so far, to keep prices low, except a few exceptions, like cheese and smoked salmon for example. Items I like to buy. But the fillet of salmon in Lidl’s is so much cheaper than other supermarkets, and that’s why I keep coming back to do the bulk of my shopping there. There chocolate is nice too. 70% Dark chocolate I buy, having that with some warm porridge, melting the dark chocolate in the porridge with some added almonds and Brazil nuts. And in a separate dish, some defrosted blueberries, strawberries, and banana with a dollop of kefir yoghurt added on top. All bought from Lidl’s. It’s a great discount store Mike, that doesn’t take liberties with prices.

I am moving to Germany. Prices are dirt cheap next to the states. They have Lidl in Washington DC area. They came in in the last few years. I call it ALDI on steroids. Prices are really good there in Germany. I grocery shop all the time at WalMart in Florida and this beats prices by far here in the states. Thanks for the great video and hi to Mom and Gogo. U should have GoGo host a beer tasting video and talk about the prices and brands.

[@Starphot]

That last part. We used to pay 2 cents for a 12 oz and 3 cents on 16 oz RC colas on deposit for the glass pop bottles in the early 1960's. Us kids use to hunt these down in trashcans and on vacant lots where the teens used pop as mixers at their booze parties as the used beer and liquor bottles were worthless. Candy bars and popsicles were 5 cents with some pieces a penny and pop was 7 cents a bottle at that time. Candy money. In SoCal, ba-by!

[@Mrdibzahab]

Wish they had this store in USA cause compared to the food prices here to Germany - Germany is cheaper than USA when it comes to this store's products. Good video GIV 👍🏻😊👍🏻

[@Czechbound]

My girlfriend's weathly parents in Ireland snuck into the local Lidl when it opened. They went all the time then, and would meet their other neighbours there. There was a "snob" prejudice against Lidl when it came to Ireland. But now everyone goes there. And remember, Lidl's wines and spirits have won *global* awards in blind tastings with the industry leaders.

The asparagus(pale yellow)must be a different type than we normally grow in the US & I've grown it(first to come up in spring) & it comes up green 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@vogeltik]

Its called white gold in the Netherlands because its expensive fresh. Its grown in rows of risen mounts and is cut underground near the root with a long steel thin metal shaft with a split blade at the end thats kept pretty sharp. Its back breaking work. The mounts are about knee high. When the aspergies peek their heads out of the soil with 2x fingers follow it down to where the root is and thats when the tool comes in to cut it as long as possible. Its not to be cut above ground where it turns green.

[@sphhyn]

In Germany we eat mostly white asparagus. It’s a whole thing and there is even special season for it. The other comment already explained how it’s grown. But it’s basically the same plant as green asparagus. When I was younger I didn’t even know asparagus could be green 😅 But today I really like the green variation too. It’s popular to eat it the white variation with a schnitzel, potatoes and top the asparagus with sauce hollandaise. You can also top it with butter and bread crumbs. White asparagus is also very good as a soup.
