Aldi (and Lidl) are okay. But I wish Europe had Trader Joe's (owned by Aldi) and Costco.

- badpun 3y agoThere are some Trader Joe's products in my local Aldi in Poland.
- TillE 3y agoAt Aldi Nord in Germany, the "Trader Joe's" products are just the usual cheap garbage with a label slapped on it. It's nothing like the interesting stuff you get in the US.
- KomoD 3y agoWe have Costco in Sweden, it's terrible, I'd never pay for a membership to be able to shop...
- 333ads 3y agoI've always found the cashback rewards to cover the membership cost, YMMV though. I also live for the hot dogs
- KomoD 3y agoThey don't have a cashback program here.
- Kon-Peki 3y agoIn the US, the standard Costco membership does not offer cash back, the premium membership does. If you don't have the auto-renewal set up, they'll tell you which version is a better deal based on your purchase history from the prior year.
- 333ads 3y agoAh I didn't realize cashback was US and Canada only. Purchasing over $6000/year will cover the fee, which isn't cheap if you don't do much shopping there. The rewards site has a table with reward estimates: https://www.costco.com/executive-rewards.html https://www.costco.com/executive-rewards.html

- renw0rp 3y agoWe have Costco the last time I checked, at lest in the UK and Spain.
