90: Aldi Hype

Happy holidays! Julien is riding a wave from a recent visit to Aldi grocery store and he and Kiersten are here to share their thoughts on low-cost shopping options. They’ve noticed massive food and grocery inflation over the last couple of months. There’s also a heightened focus on food waste and food insecurity. 

Today, they compare the prices between Whole Foods and Aldi, finding many prices to be 40 to 50% off. A downside is that food is often prepackaged there. But buying in larger portions allows you to save per meal while getting delicious food and most people cannot tell the difference between a store and name brand. They discuss the pain points and benefits of shopping at lower costs, including how consumerism doesn't necessarily pay when it comes to brand loyalty
