What an odd selection of items to compare. Presumably representative of the authors diet - by my gander some sort of pescatarian. 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.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
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.
Don't forget there are two Aldi (Aldie?) the yellow South and the Blue North and they both have a different international footprint just to complicate things

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...
Well I did search for any available data for Germany but nothing available easily :|
There is a link to raw data (a big json). Aldi is Hofer in Austria. Prices are probably the same in all their stores? Not sure something similar exists for Germany.

This is the list of products under their weekly promotion flyer. 0% correlation with my diet :)

But I read this as another anti-American comment which seems to be very fashionable recently.

Aldi is big in Australia too, around 600 stores across the country.
Pet peeve of mine: it's 'Aldi' not 'Aldi's' https://www.ksn.com/news/national-world/why-do-people-add-s-...
Actually it's 'Aldis', because we're talking about more than one.
Just to clarify why this is wrong. First we are not talking about more than one, there is only one "Aldi" company.
We don't use Aldi's (notice the use of the ' for possessive after a single noun) in this case even though every company name is a proper noun which would follow this rule. It's not used because the Price Map is not belonging to Aldi, it is a price map "FOR" Aldi.
Do Americans find it difficult to slice their own mushrooms?
I am pretty sure vegetables/fruits will get bad and loose their vitamins faster too if sliced.
Also it is a waste of packaging for nothing. I'd rather have someone standing in the vegetable area of the shop to slice stuff for the handful of people with disabilities than have them already packaged.
