I honestly love the “ja!” brand, though. It looks basic, but not shameful, and with the bonus that I can go to REWE and buy myself a liter and a half of “YES!” (with or without bubbles!)
I pretty much mix and match ;) For example the ja! cream cheese and "Beste Wahl" soy sauce are the products with the lowest sugar & carb count of their type.
Trader Joe’s is fascinating. Their own products are unique and you develop a craving for them. That creates serious retention. And over time they’ve designed out more and more third party stuff, replacing it with their own (instead of selling both alongside each other). I’ve never read a business case about them but it seems like a killer strategy
I won’t comment on the quality though, I very rarely shop with them.

The Ja cream cheese (Frischkäse?) tastes better than the expensive alternatives imho
I miss the old old generic food packaging... It had its own special aisle. Big cans with white labels that merely said “BEANS” or “CORN” in fat black letters. Of course, it was embarrassing to have a cart full of that stuff as everyone would know you were poor.
It's funny realizing how people have been so trained to purchase processed products instead of dry beans etc.
It's always a little adventure, to discover new things there. I guess I have a need to substitute for the lack of real hunting :-)
It pains me to go shopping where there are "well-known" brands on display. All that I see is their brand tax slapped onto each product whereas I go to Lidl/Aldi and I have no qualms in buying the knock off products. Same product, different labelling.
This isn't even organic vs. processed/industrial food. There is just no outlet which has it all, so I have to shop around in different locations. Just Aldilidl would be too limiting for my tastes and needs.
Unrelated to actual content: if you visit the site with ad-blocker on, it does not load. Instead, you just have this icon of the eye looking at you and blinking. And the eye will just blink until you turn ad-blocker off. I know the site is called "eye on design", but the associations of user tracking via ads and this blinking eye were amusing to me. Imagine having a blinking eye in the corner of each website for each…
Is that what's going on? Regardless of your stance on ad blockers, simply showing a mysterious eye without telling you you should stop your ad blocker sounds like awful design.

"Inspect element" shows that the eye belongs to: I think it's meant to be a placeholder animation that goes away when the content is available rather than a cryptic visual for users with an ad blocker. It's definitely a weird net effect.
