At first glance
aldis might be confusing to first-time
shoppers you walk through the doors and
it seems like a typical grocery store it
isn't until you've walked down a few of
the aisles that you realize there's
nothing at all typical about this
supermarket all DS is a lot like black
licorice you either love it or hate it
the main reason why all DS has so many
loyal shoppers is because of their low
prices but how do they do it here are 10
untold truths about all DS really low
prices come get some
all these shelves aren't like any other
store but Jenny you can visit the US I
have all this time dog run Jenny I love
you what's the first thing that you
notice when walking into an Aldi store
you noticed that the store looks a
little well messy it's not messy in the
sense that there are products strewn all
over the place
or the store looks filthy all DS is
setup for efficiency usually products
are kept in their boxes and are only
removed when the customer wants
something stocking the shelves is easy
since they only have to cut open the box
and that's it the shelves are never made
to look pretty and at first that can be
quite a strange thing for someone who
has never shopped at a place like this
before cleanup will no fool
don't be afraid of reaching into a box
and pulling out an item or two did you
know you can buy an entire box if you
want you can even take the box to the
register and no one is going to chew
your head off all DS is laid back like
that you kind of have to make yourself
at home while shopping at all DS you
should expect to open a few boxes move a
couple of empty boxes and see people
doing the same things there's a real
do-it-yourself spirit to shopping at all
DS that many of the customers seem to
enjoy and that is so much more
Aldi spends far less on advertising than
its competitors
I bought mid-roll ad placement it felt
like the right thing to do how often do
you see all these advertised on
television
some of you may have never seen in all
DS commercial how can they compete with
the big-box stores without a massive
advertising budget it's all about prices
and quality for all DS they keep their
prices low by not allowing profits to be
sucked out from under them in the form
of advertising who are you talking to
I've tasted other Coco's this is the
best that's not to say they don't have
flyers or the occasional television ad
spot they do you aren't going to see
their ads plastered all over the
airwaves though advertising costs money
and it's the customer who ends up paying
the bill
all these shoppers don't need to be
reminded where the low prices are an
Aldi shopper is savvy er than a coupon
cutter any day of the week they know the
good deals are right under your nose
there isn't much advertising needed when
you run an incredible store like all
Dee's they already get the best form of
advertising which is word-of-mouth no
one can keep their mouths shut about the
insane deals and the high quality of
food found at all these it goes beyond
food to they have many household
products that no one can live without
amazing all these stores are highly
energy efficient stark tower is about to
become a beacon of self-sustaining clean
energy if you think that all these
customers are tightwads then you'd be
surprised by the corporate structure of
this company they're all about saving
money it makes sense because saving a
few cents here or there means they can
pass the savings on to the customer
everyone knows there's been a big push
to go green and to consume less energy
aldis has been a leader in this trend by
making its stores more energy efficient
than most the engineers who build their
buildings do so in a way to make sure
the stores use as little energy as
possible that big ugly building in New
York there's more to their desire to cut
back on energy usage than caring about
the environment energy costs are high
when operating the type of stores all
these has it's about far more than the
lights that you see when walking in the
building
they have coolers freezers and other
appliances running all day and night by
making sure everything is energy
efficient they save tons of money and it
helps them keep their prices highly
competitive any money that they don't
have to spend on electricity is money
that's not tacked on to your grocery
bill that would save you some money
fewer items means smaller stores exams
Gorge merchants made a fortune in
kitchen goods not a seven year if you've
never been into all DS you probably
wonder where they put all the stuff
everyone thinks about the big chain
stores and all the items on their
shelves welcome to Costco I love you all
DS is different and you're not going to
see many of the same things there they
have a variety of items but not many
different brands you aren't going to
find two dozen different brands of
potato chips this keeps the amount of
shelf space required to run a store
reasonably minimal they don't believe in
wasting their precious space at all the
store may not look organized but it's
set up in a way to get the maximum
amount of products in front of customers
some people like going to a store that
isn't jam-packed with stuff they don't
need it makes shopping much easier for
those in a hurry and people who can't
walk around too well
when you shop at all DS you go there and
get what you want and that's it you
don't walk up and down the aisles
daydreaming about the newest flavor of
Oreo the reason for that is they don't
have many famous brands most of the
items sold at all DS are store brands
the items are high quality but rarely do
you see anything that is name-brand it's
their way or the highway when it comes
to brands many are okay with that since
their brands are the same or higher
quality than what they're used to all
these limits the number of perishable
items on their shelves I'm not supposed
to
you may not realize it but you're paying
for all those rotten tomatoes at the
store every piece of produce that ends
up getting tossed into the trash is paid
for by the consumer that sucks doesn't
it there's no such thing as a free Apple
and someone has to pay for it you are
the one who pays for it and so do the
other customers the great thing about
all DS is they have much less produce
and other perishable items that can go
back no that doesn't mean all the stuff
they sell is frozen it means they have a
limited supply of perishables at any
time their goal is to only put on the
shelf what they think people will buy
all these customers know that the time
to buy fresh produce is when they see it
yes now and then sometimes a certain
item may not be on the Shelf rarely is
this a problem but it can be depending
on the time of year and item it makes
sense that they would stock only a
limited number of something that can
spoil if the item spoils or rots then
that is profit down the drain no one
cries over spilled milk like aldis does
are you not aware that I get farty and
flooded with a foamy latte you won't
find all D's open 24 hours a day
how many times at midnight have you
realized you were craving potato chips
and ice cream all these customers know
when those late-night cravings kick in
that it's best to go to bed you won't
find all D's open late all DS is only
open during peak hours it's another part
of their strategy to be as profitable as
possible why open your store when there
aren't enough people to come in to
justify keeping the lights on all these
can't find a good reason and that's why
they keep their doors shut until people
are ready to come barreling through you
adapt your life around all DS if you
want the good stuff those four in the
morning runs for coffee creamer don't
happen at all DS their loyal customers
modify their lives around when their
favorite store opens and closes it's no
shock to them that you can't get a pack
of diapers after Monday Night Football
you either have to plan to buy a pack or
learn how to make diapers out of your
bedsheets until all DS opens up in the
morning sometimes sacrifices have to be
made when it comes to something as
sacred as football it's like a fetish
it's something like every we need to
devote some time to all these stores are
built to last forever
sounds good to me have you ever paid
attention to the construction of Aldi
stores if not pay close attention to the
store itself the next time you walk into
all DS you'll see that the store is
built to withstand anything all DS
doesn't cut any corners when it comes to
the quality of materials when building
their stores it might be surprising to
some that they don't use the cheapest
materials possible to build a store you
might think that all DS would want to
save money in any way they can that's
not the case when it comes to their
buildings all DS is built to withstand
the test of time and come out the other
end standing strong the force is strong
the logic behind their attention to
craftsmanship makes sense if you think
about it in the long term a well-built
store is one that won't require as much
upkeep sometimes being cheap means that
you've got to go the expensive route
when it comes to building a structure
that's meant to last all these
understands if they invest in buildings
that lasts up front that the cost of
upkeep and maintenance will be much less
down the line it makes sense if you
think about it
there thriftiness has led them to create
a store that's so rock-solid even the
big bad wolf couldn't blow it down hail
to the king baby you don't see many
workers at all DS are you trying to find
where the beans are for your next pot of
chili
you're better off asking the person next
to you then finding an all DS employee
they are known for hiring as few people
as possible to run the store it's
understandable since living wages are
getting higher and higher worker you
rise fast all DS is also known to pay
much more than its competitors couple
that with their desire to operate as
inexpensively as possible and that's why
you don't see many workers on the floor
it leaves you feeling like you're on a
deserted island without as much as a
life raft don't worry you'll find the
potato chips if not you then some kind
soul will know where they are all these
only has enough people on the floor to
get the job done anything more than that
and it's overkill the other stores can
get away with people standing around
doing nothing since they pay less those
stores probably expect a certain amount
of standing around and how much they pay
reflects that those working for all D's
are expected to toil tirelessly for the
customers the workers are rewarded with
higher wages better benefits and
hopefully a more fulfilling job
atmosphere in love my job I love my job
and you have to rent the carts
never been shopping before have you only
those of you who have shopped at all
these know how the carts there work they
do it the old-school way you have to put
a quarter in the slot to get a cart out
that quarter isn't much but it's enough
to make people bring back the cart it's
funny how a quarter will make someone
remember to bring back a cart that is
worth more than that you could sell the
cart for scrap metal and it would
probably be worth more than a quarter
for whatever reason you don't think
about that when it's your quarter that's
sitting there waiting to be set free all
joking aside the carts are quite
expensive the hope that all these has is
that you'll feel so invested in your
cart that you'll return it also making
people rent the cart means they have to
return it when they're done with it
I'll be back that means there aren't
carts in the parking lot getting banged
around and withstanding the elements
it's an ingenious idea that seems to
work really well no one ever forgets
that shiny coin they had to put in the
slot to get their cart in an age where
everybody pays with plastic somehow no
one forgets to have a coin ready when
they go to all DS did you you pay for
bags and load them up yourself
by far the one most shocking thing about
all these to many people is that you
have to bag your own groceries you also
have to pay for the bag you put the
stuff in sure you can bring your own
bags and many people do that but it's
the whole process of bagging your
groceries that throws many people
off-guard unless you had an after-school
job working in a grocery store as a
teenager you probably have no idea how
to properly bag groceries anyone who has
worked in a grocery store knows that
you've got to make sure the bags are
square when filling them up if you pay
attention to all these customers you'll
see a few lumpy bags if you don't want
to pay for bags you can use empty boxes
if there are any they won't say anything
if you take an empty box from the shelf
and put your items in it if you're
taking the bus home or walking then this
probably isn't a good idea
Aldi makes you pay for the bags and put
your stuff in it as a way of saving
money it does make shopping at all D's
less convenient but most people are
willing to put in a little elbow grease
to save some cash the savings are
substantial enough that people forget
how burdensome it is to put your stuff
away in the bags that's why it's best to
take your kids with you when you go
shopping at all DS have them put away
the food in the bags it's the least they
can do since you bought them that tub of
ice cream that's bigger than their head
free ice cream or lot stick around
