I think Aldi would succeed immensely in the US. Their food and other items were much cheaper than regular grocery stores but not cheaper in quality.<BR/><BR/>I only shop at Trader Joe's when I have a craving for a specific type of food that I can't find anywhere else - mochi ice cream, some of their individually packed meat dinners etc.Sylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01628004948144925047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8313778.post-4488618869434714102009-02-20T12:06:00.000+08:002009-02-20T12:06:00.000+08:00Hahaha - I will leave the 'comprehensible'...Hahaha - I will leave the 'comprehensible' postings to Serene :)<BR/><BR/>But some good news for you Liz - there are 5 Aldi's in the state of MI. The nearest one to us is in Adrian. <BR/><BR/>Check out this map:<BR/>http://www.yellowmap.de/filialfinder/HTML/POI.aspx?SessionGuid=b5ee3641-c3ed-45a4-bf99-79069b786a46&View=5&ClearGroups=MapNav&Radius=judehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05007560669142204666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8313778.post-55842070489017280342009-02-20T08:53:00.000+08:002009-02-20T08:53:00.000+08:00Jude, I don't think I've ever completely read one ...Jude, I don't think I've ever completely read one of your posts. Once I get three lines in, I look at the author... Oh, it's Jude. No wonder I can't comprehend :) However, I actually read this post..and I'd like to participate in your survey. Yes, I have shopped at Trader Joe's, but not always - primarily because of the weirdo diets we've had to follow we find ourselves going to specialty stores. Regarding Aldi, if I knew of an Aldi nearby, I'd definitely go there - if anything there chocolates are the best cheap chocolates I've tasted in America!! I'm having chocolate withdrawal because while we were in India I enjoyed their chocolates...to taste the cocoa and the cream... Aaah. OK, I'm not the one pregnant so I shouldn't have so many strong opinions about chocolate and such... Perhaps Serene should taste some Aldi chocolates .... Best!Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01059787554456498645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8313778.post-27405239399138720022009-02-20T06:35:00.000+08:002009-02-20T06:35:00.000+08:00Why do you think that Aldi won't succeed in the US...Why do you think that Aldi won't succeed in the US? Could you describe Aldi for some of us that have not been in one? The Aldi corporation certainly has touched on a successful strategy with Trader Joe's - cheap, wide, changing variety of goods, primarily targetted at the young, urban professional set.judehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05007560669142204666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8313778.post-68968837273535433442009-02-20T05:53:00.000+08:002009-02-20T05:53:00.000+08:00This comment has been removed by the author.judehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05007560669142204666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8313778.post-78644507076447674882009-02-20T04:46:00.000+08:002009-02-20T04:46:00.000+08:00Yes, I am an Aldi shopper.
