In recent years, ALDI has increasingly shifted its focus to quality rather than price. Due to higher inflation, more Germans are paying more attention to how much they can save when shopping. ALDI is therefore increasingly advertising low prices. But is that really true? Price expert Sven Reuter draws a clear conclusion. WHAT IS ALDI'S QUALITY LIKE? ALDI claims to not only be cheap, but also to offer good quality. SPAGHETTI: HOW GOOD ARE THE PASTA FROM ALDI, LIDL, BARILLA, DELVERDE, 3 GLOCKEN? ALDI's absolute bestsellers include the inexpensive pasta from its own brand Cucina Nobile. The spaghetti is particularly popular. But can it keep up with the quality of pasta from other brands? HOW GOOD ARE ALDI'S GARDENING TOOLS? In the non-food sector, ALDI sells electronic air pumps, garden tools such as pruning shears, patio furniture and parasols, among other things. Marktcheck tests a hanging parasol from ALDI's own brand Belavi and compares it with parasols from Lidl, Obi and Bauhaus. WHAT IS ALDI'S STANDING IN TERMS OF FAIRNESS AND ANIMAL WELFARE? ALDI says it is a pioneer in animal welfare. The Albert Schweitzer Foundation has looked at the animal welfare standards of ALDI and its competitors and created a ranking. According to these criteria, ALDI performs best. EDEKA and Netto have the worst animal welfare standards. ALDI has also announced that it will gradually change its husbandry system from summer 2024. The previous level 4, "Premium", is divided into levels 4, "free range/pasture", and 5, "organic". HOW FRESH ARE ALDI'S FRUIT AND VEGETABLES? ALDI claims to have high standards for fruit and vegetables. How fresh are they when they reach the shelves? Marktcheck purchases random samples of conventionally grown products in an ALDI store and from competitors. ALDI AS AN EMPLOYER: HOW GOOD ARE THE WAGES? How much does ALDI pay as an employer compared to the competition? The portal Kununu has compared the salaries of various discounters and supermarkets. ALDI's store staff are the best paid. Marktcheck checks the discounter Aldi for prices, quality, fairness and image. You can see the results in the video!
