How similar is Aldi and Lidl? There is only Lidl here where I live. They seem very similar conceptually.
What are the tangible differences, which one do you prefer?
- k__ 7y agoWe have both here in Germany. I prefer the Lidl products, but Aldi isn't bad either.
- Glawen 7y agoThey are very similar in size or product. Aldi has more local food products than lidl, but lidl has a more interesting "aisle of shite", with their own brand of tools/garden equipment. I keep watching this aisle to expand my toolshed :) Here is a great website to avoid missing the famous parkside tools: http://offers.kd2.org http://offers.kd2.org (it also shows aldi stuff)
- mongol 7y agoActually that aisle is well known to me. It feels like a hidden gem. I plan my visits to Lidl after following their offers on this aisle :-)
- zaarn 7y agoThe difference isn't that great, though I personally prefer to shop at Lidl/Rewe. Locally there is an ALDI, Lidl, Rewe and EDEKA within a 5 minute drive, by experience, ALDI is the cheapest of them but I usually prefer shopping at Lidl since they provide more higher quality stuff (ALDI doesn't always stock actual parmesan, it's very often just generic grated hard cheese). ALDI offers everything but only one of everything, Lidl has more a bit more variety. 99.9% of my Saturday grocery run can be satisfied from any of them however, so there isn't much reason to prefer any of them over the other in my area, other than EDEKA, the prices are mostly the same.
