Oh, there's more than that where I live, if you count all the different grocers. But it's nowhere close to how competitive grocers in Germany felt to me, when I recently lived in Munich. Where I'm at, the only nearby discount grocer is Grocery Outlet; in Munich, there was Aldi, Lidl, Netto, and Penny, all in less than a 10 minute trip by bike. Numbeo stats seem to bear this out, with grocery prices in Germany being ~20% lower than the US (and a quick googling indicates even starker differences according to other sites): https://www.numbeo.com/cost-of-living/compare_countries_result.jsp?country1=United+States&country2=Germany https://www.numbeo.com/cost-of-living/compare_countries_resu...
