New at Aldi Shop With Me! Aldi vs Trader Joes What Store Is Better?! Amazing New Finds at Aldi!

[@MrsAlmaTrumble]

If you don't laugh or smile at least once during a Kim Whisk video, you need to go get checked out by a doctor. These videos always brighten my day. I look forward to every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday for a new Kim video. I appreciate how real and genuine she is.

[@ShanYalesTale]

I feel the same. Her enthusiasm is contagious.

[@Fisherman6810]

I feel the same way as you do.

Absolutely agree! ❤

Trader Joes is owned by the owner of Aldi Nord. But the Aldi stores you see in the US are owned by Aldi Sud. The 2 are completely separate companies, that split off from each other in the 1960's, when the founding brothers couldn't agree on whether or not to sell cigarettes.

[@sarahludos7970]

Did not know that, thanks! They are such different stores.

[@plantsbythemoon9049]

Interesting

[@peacewG]

I think kim is thinking of the store, Lidle. I think that is owned by the brother.

[@jackienewman5934]

@@peacewG If you look it up Lidl is actually not owned by either brother. Lidll is owned by the Swartz Group

[@HandsomeCalvin92]

Aldi and Trader Joe's aren't in the same category! Love Aldi's. There are five within 14 miles of us but the first one is only two blocks from us. Their food is outstanding!!

[@dlewis9760]

Was going to say this, if no one else did. TJ is more of a cut rate Whole Foods.

I knew Shania hung out at the thrift store but Aldi? I'm impressed! Aldi and T Joes are the best. T Joes has the edge. Would win by a lot if it was closer. Anyway, thanks for the shop along, the sandwich clip and an hour of happy mostly in song. Loving it. Thanks for the Saturday morning fun and Van Morrison makes everyone happy. To my Wads Fam and Party People, YOU are STRONGER than you believe and LOVED more than you know! xoxo

Shouldn’t really compare as Aldi has always been a different concept. While now owned by Aldi Nord, Trader Joe’s was founded in the states in the 1960’s and sold to Aldi in the 1970’s. Aldi simply maintains TJ’s original concept.

[@donnitacoble3952]

[@ginaharwood3858]

Love you and your videos so much! Love how genuine you are! If you want to watch a great YT channel for up-to-date Trader Joe’s hauls, I highly recommend Katie Hespe! She does haul videos on Fridays and then she and her husband do a taste-test video on Saturdays. She worked at TJ’s for 9 years and her task test videos are completely honest.

[@wildiarose8523]

Girl…the food is not sub-par! Give it a chance. Bring a cooler next time and buy a few things. That’s how I started. The aisle of shame is just an introduction but the best deals are on the outer aisles.

[@joyindrelie6715]

Hearing you grow excited at Aldi is why I love your channel ❤

[@altheamcnabb2829]

The Brothers both owned Aldis. They split over running the stores different. I think it began with selling cigs. When they came to the U.S. on kept Aldi and the other named his to Trader Joes. In Germany there called Aldi's North and South, I believe.

[@diannetaylor4115]

I am from NY and love Aldi shop there weekly and love your videos

[@heatherclay6312]

You are so fun!! I feel so out of place going to Trader Joe's, but I love that store. On another note, our Aldi's is pretty much never stocked like your video

Aldi Nord also owns the Trader Joe's grocery chain in the United States which operates separately from the group. Aldi Süd owns the Winn-Dixie and Harveys supermarket chains in the southern United States.

[@jillabenson9720]

Finally, the Kim vs. Aldi fun aisle! Screamin deals. I ❤ aldi.

[@CaliAnimalLover]

Those houses are gorgeous but do they have a pine forest for a front yard and are the lakefront in the back? No of course not. So you win! Lol. I bet the kids were over the moon excited when you got home with that Trader Joe’s haul!! So many tasty treats and fun things to munch on. Makes me want to run to both places. I swear BOTH of those stores should have you on their payroll. You sell the heck out of them! Oh and I LOVED your pants! Have a great weekend!

[@llhughes1803]

At ALDI if you see it, buy it because that isle is always changing for different seasons, holidays, etc.

[@Stein0001]

aldi was founded in Essen in 1913. the owner was Karl Albrecht, he was a baker, he married Anna Sibemann in 1912 and took over her father's grocery store with her and renamed the store Albrecht Lebensmittelladen, the original branch closed in 2020 because the store had simply become too small. After the death of the father, his sons Karl and Theo took over the store in 1945. By 1955, it already had over 100 branches. In 1961, the brothers went their separate ways because they had other things in mind for the stores. the two new stores were called Aldi Süd (the Aldi that exists in the USA), recognizable by its orange color, and Aldi Nord, recognizable by its blue color. in the 1970s, the Aldi Nord Group bought the American chain Trader Joes. The only real Albrecht still working for the group today is Theo junor. all the others are only shareholders. Greetings from Germany :)

[@Stein0001]

in germany the ready meal is meant for 2 people and usually it is written on the package for how many people. but this portion is only a part of a meal and not the whole. it corresponds to the main course, to which you should eat a soup, a salad and a dessert. this is how a typical german meal is structured. there are usually 3 courses, the soup, the main course with salad and a dessert.

[@zeideerskine3462]

In Germany they are both ALDI (north and south mostly with the same products but there are some regional variations) and in the Netherlands they have a super discount store together called Zwei Brüder (two bothers). In most other countries they operate as ALDI together.

[@eileencarroll6418]

Always a great Saturday with Kimberly. Even better when she helps me with my grocery list. I cannot TRUST myself to enter Trader Joe's because there are candies and treats everywhere and will power nowhere. I like Aldi's because I live alone and the package sizes are perfect for one. Lots of organic and grass fed choices for great prices. If I had a big family, I'd stick to Costco. Even as a single, I like to stock up at Costco. Have you tried "Wild Fork" for frozen meats and fish? It's a Florida grocery chain and they're all over Chicago here. Don't be mislead by prices on their exotic meats. They have terrific prices on big bags of pork chops, lamb chops, tenderloins, already cubed stew meats. Great prices on frozen veg. Staff is very helpful. You could walk in and ask them to show you the best family packs for the best value. They also have a lot of premade frozen sides. And they only have frozen food and spices. Very fast to get in and out. Bring your insulated grocery bags.

[@MaryRass3374]

Skipping the food at Aldi. Whattttttt? 😂 I buy almost all my groceries from Aldi. The blocks of cheese are under $2 The organic products are so good and the price is unmatched.

[@tinamenard4365]

My son and I have been 100% satisfied with all of the food we purchased at Aldi's. There is no trader Joe's near me but the one and only time that I went to trader Joe's which was about 15 plus years ago it was pretty good.

[@DianaSutter-x5y]

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE add Aldi's Haul in your line up. I so enjoy it!!! We recently got an Aldi's in our town. You showed things I hadn't noticed. They are on my list to buy. I also enjoyed the TraderJoe's,however I have never gone. The closest Traders is over 140 miles. But I may have to do a road trip and stop at thrift stores along the way.

[@MrsAlmaTrumble]

If it's anything from the isle of shame, grab it when you see it because they change every week.

[@andreawienen7698]

Was so happy to see the Aldi love! I've been shopping there almost exclusively for years. We call the middle fun aisles the aisle of shame. 😂

You’re GORGEOUS Kim!! ❤❤❤❤

[@LoveLee561]

The non food stuff at Aldi goes fast. They rotate it out with other stuff about every 2 weeks. So if you see it and need it later you should get it. I’ve noticed items come back around every year

[@AtHomeWithAllie]

Hello lovely friend! Love your videos! I really don't shop much at Aldi, only during holidays for decor lol, so I guess I am biased with Trader Joe's since I shop there twice a week for all groceries lol. I must say that Traders is more expensive but not by much for higher quality foods. Tfs! Hugs & Many Blessings! ♥️🏡🛍♥️

You popped up on my feed and I had a blast with you! New subscriber. If you can’t have fun getting groceries then stop eating. I shop at both because I have a panic attack in bigger stores.

Kim, location does matter. I live in Belgium, so Aldi is pretty major here. Do live in a town where we are "blessed" with one big Aldi and it's a couple streets down from where I live: amazing! Last year me and mom were on the road and we stopped at an Aldi on our way home. OMG it was terrible. Messy. Unorganized. I would never return there! But our location? My goodness, it puts the darn competition to shame!

I was at Aldi this morning! I don’t think it’s fair to compare Trader Joe’s and Aldi. Trader Joe’s is more expensive, Aldi is less expensive and the savings add up!! It all depends on your budget, of course I would rather shop at TJ, but I can’t do it. I do love to see what TJ has though! And the name brand stuff at Aldi is never a good deal, stick to their store brands! ☀️☀️☀️

I'm glad that you went this week. It depends on what you need/want. Aldi has regular items for less. I just bought a steak and cheese wrap thingy for less than $5 and it was GREAT‼️ Trader Joe's has more items that you don't find elsewhere. I would drive 2 towns over to go there, but I feel overwhelmed at the door. I'm going back for the bagel slicer, sandwich bags [Surprised you didn't buy those.] and the cheese steak. Enjoy your day. 😊

I loved this video!! I definitely think traders Joe is so much better than Aldi. So many things you pointed out we like and some I had never noticed. I actually have the almond croissants ready to bake this morning. We did try the honey shrimp and the sauce was not good on it so if anyone buys that make sure you taste the sauce before you put it on the shrimp. Of course that was our taste buds. My husband would not even eat it and that is unusual. Kim you are the best in all of KZbin!!

[@leeslabach7427]

Aldi Cheddar Popcorn and their Kettle chips are real gems! And their dark chocolate; I think it tastes like Trader Joe's, although the 2 brothers supposedly had a falling out and became rivals. Aldi and Trader Joe's really shouldn't be compared, because their concepts are quite different. Aldi is becoming more prized for organic and gluten free offerings at very competitive prices. Also, try their big pizzas. And lots of good cheeses--Cranberry is great for get-togethers, esp Christmas. I could go on and on!

[@AZJH8374]

What about the Asian frozen food section. I ONLY buy pot stickers from TJ'S & their blue cheese 🧀 unbelievable
