Well... things I learned about Lidl and Aldi:
* Aldi has better tasting Greek yogurt.
* Aldi has better mandarins.
* Aldi wants a bloody quarter to get a cart. Lidl does not.
* Aldi appears to me more expensive, but that's hard to tell because their website's pricing does not correspond to the in-store pricing.
* Neither are great at frozen vegetarian selections.
Hmm... I don't think I've pointed this out already... if I did, then you can chalk it up to chemo brain. :derpface:
Last time I got groceries, I bought some maple syrup. There was a product I had not seen before that looked significantly cheaper than what I usually buy. So I decided to do comparison shopping.
:headache:
Walmart likes to complicate things. One syrup was in $ per ounce, one was in $ per quarts, once was on $ per what-ever-the-fuck-unit-it-was. Also, the new product was in the wrong place. I discovered that when I scanned its barcode with my phone, and the price was much higher. I found where it should have been and moved it.
At any rate, the whole unit kerfuffle was a big pain in the ass. Why were they switching units all over the place for things that are *THE SAME*???
:why:
When stores pull stuff like this, it makes me feel like someone is trying to scam me.
I did complain to corporate.

Fun fact:
Jif Reduced fat creamy peanut butter contains more calories than Great Value Creamy Peanut Butter (*not* reduced fat).
Jif contains a bit less fat, but makes it up by having more carbs.
I don't usually buy this Jif peanut butter. I bought it because an ex of mine wanted it. I don't like the taste of this peanut butter. I'm finishing the one I bought, so I had to buy more. I compared the Jif to Great Value at the store and decided that there was not enough of a difference to feel sad about abandoning the reduced fat.
