Here's another perspective: bundle up Aldi and Lidl with the various dollar stores (eg Dollar Tree) and then argue this is evidence that Americans are increasingly reliant on discount stores so this is just further evidence of wealth inequality and living paycheck-to-paycheck.
- sgerenser 5y agoOur family does about 80% of our grocery shopping at Aldi despite having far above median income. The number of Teslas and higher end SUVs I see in the parking lot tells me I’m probably not the only one.
