you Americans need to think about your "LEGOs" problem
You really don’t want to go down this road. I have no problem starting a movement to get Americans to call them “LEGO’s” and you won’t be able to even suggest it’s wrong because it’ll just be a contraction of “LEGO parts,” “LEGO bricks,” and “LEGO sets.” (But feel free to lambast us over punctuation and quotation marks.)
That said, these don't seem to cover things most people really buy - meat particularly, and fresh veggies. Or paper products. Have you considered adding more items?
The 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?
Revenue must remain greater than expenses (outside VC funded moonshots).
Pet peeve of mine: it's 'Aldi' not 'Aldi's' https://www.ksn.com/news/national-world/why-do-people-add-s-...

I love maps like these, the McDonald's (1) or Taco Bell one (2). That said, these don't seem to cover things most people really buy - meat particularly, and fresh veggies. Or paper products.

What would it take to add the ALDIs in Europe to this map ?

There's also Aldi in Australia and China Also I'm not quite sure about the grammar of "Aldi's"
I will check if I can find data for Australia or China. Fixed the grammar :)
It'd be amazing to see this data mapped across time, as it'd be a relatively good indicator of grocery inflation.
I'm curious why you're using a commercial tile provider -- CARTO -- instead of OpenStreetMaps?
