Initially, I was like wow someone has too much time on their hands, but now I'm totally fascinated by this and can't stop studying it.
This is awesome! Thanks!

Oops, yes it covers US only. Could not find easily available data for European countries :)
There's also Aldi in Australia and China Also I'm not quite sure about the grammar of "Aldi's"
Lots of complaints about this. While the store is called "Aldi", surely the prices are Aldi's...
:)

#23That's a great map! If I would still live in the US, my wife would use that map every day :-)
Re: Show HN: Aldi Price Map
#24The way I’m interpreting the charts, the least expensive (green dot) clusters are indicative of which port received a given item. The stores furthest from the port also have the highest cost.
So they’re passing on transport costs?

I can’t believe a Big Mac has a different cost at individual stores. I’m not in the US.. I don’t think it’s like that here in Australia but someone will probably prove me wrong :D

I will check if I can find data for Australia or China. Fixed the grammar :)
Would be great for Australia, we have a supermarket monopoly, divided by two major chains, then Aldi's supermarkets and Foodland's supermarkets.

#27Most vegetable/fruit prices seems cheaper on the west coast. I assume because most are produced and in California and don't have the added transportation costs?
I would assume so as well. Generally produce apear cheaper in West/South although organic avocados are bucking this trend
Probably because avocados are less popular in the Mid-North, so they sell them for less.

#28I feel like there’s a few countries missing :) Intersting to see how the prices relate just in the US though.

In Germany we have two Aldis, Aldi South and Aldi North. I am pretty sure that within the region they cover prices for each product is the same everywhere.
