Why not McDonald’s’
Because it didn't occur to me that might be a possibility :-) is that what it would be?

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.
It'd be interesting to evaluate this because unlike iPhone, fruit can trivially be substituted. In other words: the margins on them are what capitalism predicts: essentially nothing. This even goes for the aldi store as a whole.
It does not apply to specialist medicine, and only to a very limited extent to Apple products. So Apple can "enshittify": extract the maximum the market is willing to bear. They can steer demand. Aldi cannot.

Companies often have press guides or branding guides that clarify this. For Macca, an old guide covers this (Trademark Usage / Page 3).

#38Most 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?
Logistics make up the bulk of most cheaper unit cost goods. The price a farmer gets is peanuts per unit. Less applicable to an iPhone, but very applicable to produce or even toilet paper.

Which is probably where that informal use of 'peanuts' comes from.

IIUC, that seems to be saying "don't write sentences in this structure" rather than "here's how it would look if you did write it". (Though it would seem strange for a manual to dictate the grammar for its own name.)
