Well I did search for any available data for Germany but nothing available easily :|
To be fair, this was more of a tongue in cheek response and not really directed at you or your project directly. For me Aldi is just such a european thing that I was genuinely surprised by this.
Almost nothing on this list I ever buy, other than some of the produce. Why not some staples for the rest of us like milk, butter, bread, sugar. Heck, basically any pizza without cauliflower crust.
I like Aldi Süd (the one you Americans have and also the one in the UK) but here in Hamburg and also in France it is Aldi Nord and it's really quite awful (more like Netto and Penny, both of which I hate). Thankfully we also have Lidl which is closer to Aldi Süd but honestly I'm a bit soured on Discounters in general recently. I still use them for some things but often they're more expensive than my local greengrocer…
Penny and Netto are the Resterampe (Bargain Basement) of Rewe and Edeka. That aside, if you like Lidl, why not go to Kaufland, which is the Luxus-Lidl of the Schwarz-Gruppe? Oh, and depending where in Hamburg, there is also https://www.globus.de/hamburg-lurup/index.php# which reminded me of my childhood, shortly after they've opened at the remodeled site of a former real,-, which is second only to https://www.edeka.d…
I'm an immigrant from the UK though, this is all new to me. As others pointed out, most supermarkets are basically comparable in the UK. In Germany the variety between different supermarkets is crazy. Even between different Bio markts the quality difference can be extreme.
How naive of me to ecpect anything else than an us-only map when this is about a german supermarket chain with most of its stores in europe...

Companies often have press guides or branding guides that clarify this. For Macca, an old guide covers this (Trademark Usage / Page 3). https://issuu.com/lukaszkulakowski/docs/002725
I was sad they closed down, but a few companies have popped up since, but I've not been able to try them to see if they come close to how good it was. Heck, at the time I thought about creating an alternative, but wasn't sure where to start, so didn't end up trying.
Anyway, point is, we need more of this sort of comparison sites for things to keep things competitively priced, and to ensure people don't pay more for the same things.
Funnily enough I thought trader joe's was an Aldi store brand for a long time because I grew up in Europe

In the UK I prefer Lidl to Aldi for reasons I can't quite fathom, and the pricing is within pennies of each other. Interestingly many of the middle-of-the-road supermarkets like Asda, Sainsbury's, Morrison's and Tesco now price match a ton of their own brand essentials to Aldi as loss leaders to try and get people in store. It's not quite enough to make it the default shop though. What's kind of interesting is that i…
>In the UK I prefer Lidl to Aldi for reasons I can't quite fathom Maybe it is how the stores look? In NL Lidl looks like a normal supermarket that just happens to be cheap. Aldi is like someone went out of their way to make a supermarket as ugly and uncomfortable a shopping experience as possible.

you Americans need to think about your "LEGOs" problem
How long do you thing that they will turn the already-plural "data" into the hyper-plural "datas"? Or has this already happened, I am too afraid to check.
"Datum?" Almost nobody uses that in the vernacular.
