It cracks me up how they are constantly reassessing how many cashiers are opened or closed. I’m always hearing the announcements, Lane 3 opening, Lane 2 closing in the space of 2 minutes.

I had forgotten how Jimmy makes me believe there are two separate people having this and other convos. Brilliantly done. Thanks Jimmy.

You forgot a huge factor about the checkout. The relentless speed of the cashiers.

I do love their weird brand of hazelnut chocolate.

I remember my first trip to Aldi. The checkout dude just started ripping items through the scanner and i wasn't aware it was then over to me to pack. The look he gave me was priceless....

My reaction when someone starts telling me how great Costco is. I've been in Costco, and compared the prices, unless you're having to buy an outrageous amount of stuff the "savings" just don't add up.

"Oh no, I have to bag my own groceries and put my trolley back! How inconvenient!" Europeans: "Dude, are you serious?"

Ours had toilets for sale recently... It always amuses me the random stuff they have.

i bought their ski pants and snow boots years ago.. been going to the snow every year since and they're still going good.. love aldi! 😊

I love it! I actually like less choice per option. I don’t need 27 brands of pasta sauce. I just like the organic Aldi one. Easy!

As a wheelchair user Imagine my shock when I saw a wheelchair as a special buy! Thanks for being inclusive in the most random way Aldi. That's the only time special and wheelchairs should be used in the same sentence! I was nervous about Aldi since I can't pack my bags but usually everyone is lovely and the people behind don't mind a little wait. 👩🏻‍🦼♿

Everything else is true, but 12.95 savings? Cmon, they’re like close to half the price of Coles & Woolies, my average weekly shop for 2 adults and 2 kids is around $110-$130 at Aldi, same cart at woolies I was paying closer to $230-$250. But you’re right about the specials lol

I love Aldi, it's perfect for stress heads like me who get paralysis by analysis. You basically have only one or two options of everything, so you can do a huge weekly shop in under 20 minutes. Plus cheap. Aldi ftw.

I was one of their retail assistants for a short period of time when I needed a fill in to top up cash after covid lockdown (I'm self employed before and since). At the checkout they expect us to have a 900 per hour scan rate so my favourite people were those that just shoved it straight into the trolley. Personally when I shop, I just shove it in the trolley, then pack it into bags when I get back to the car. The special buys are a mixed lot - some of them are genuine bargains, others you can probably find the same product elsewhere cheaper. However, they have an excellent return policy - the absolute best for both exchange or cash back, and they all come with at least 1 year warranty, but some up to five. I don't like the cereals or chips, so don't get them. But the dairy - organic milk. And the ground coffee and the vegies and some of the frozen desserts, chocolate and biscuits, are all great. Pasta and sauces too.

It's pretty much spot on. And they haven't innovated for 50 years so if you go to an Aldi in Germany or England it's the same as Australia. They really need trolleys that let you scan the items as you put them into the trolley, then you could just pay at the checkout. Avoiding the need for a conveyor belt that has spilt milk or dirt from a plant that someone dropped on the conveyor belt.

Haha this is so true. I've been going to Aldi all my life and everything he's said is completely true 😂 But honestly I love Aldi

Love the slightly unstable characters! Lol

My first boyfriend’s family was like this. They had all the slightly different Aldi stuff for crisps and cereal and pasta etc but they popped by the Asda for other stuff anyway. Spent twice the time shopping, saved a little bit.

100% this! I've never got the whole Aldi thing. Too much pressure to pack my bags before the next customer hahaha

I just go and grab a Coles trolley to do my Aldi shopping.

Aldi kicks ass for everyday items, save a shit ton. And that Moser dark chocolate is manufactured to have more antioxidants than Lindt 70% variety I believe 👍

As a German I've never seen it that way😂😂 I was wondering about the bench in Aldi after the cashiers cause we do not have them back home. Only plain windows, no bench. Haha you are the best😂😂

I literally got an Aldi ad at the start lmfao

Just bought a house. Nearest Aldi store is 800 meters away. High Five.

I once bought a can of condensed milk form Aldi, when I opened it, it was this gross brown colour and I thought it was off. Well, turns out it was chocolate condensed milk and OMG it was so freaking delicious, kind of a fudge texture, soooo good! I ate it without actually using it to cook with. I thought of all the yummy desserts I could make with it, I was so ready to get my bake on! I’ve never seen again from that day to this. I’m beginning to wonder if I just dreamed it.

and that’s how I ended up with a sous vide!

Managed to grab myself an air fryer from an Aldi special buy. Was the last one left in the shop, too. Box was a bit scuffed up, but it was well packaged with foam on the inside so the air fryer was fine, no damage. Absolutely one of the best things I've bought! I made pork belly in it the last night. Crackling was to die for, so crispy! Also cooks up some pretty bloody decent chicken

I shop at Aldi instead of going to the gym . It’s a great cardio work out .... pack the trolley unpack the trolley pack the trolley and unpack the trolley . Excellent for the back too and biceps 💪

This was so funny! My parents totally shop at aldi for all the reasons mentioned here and the special buys part was honestly da best🤣

it's been years and this still stands as my favourite Jimmy Rees video

*THE SAVINGS.*

The fridge comment is a perfect indication of why we so often have houses full of stuff we don’t actually need.

We go to American Aldi like every Saturday and it’s so funny. The customers stand around in the aisles like no other grocery store I’ve ever been to and this is spot on. Whatever you want they don’t have it so you adapt…FOR THE SAVINGS!! Lol

Looked like the conversation between my mum and I. She loves them. The times I have been there, made me realise it is great for people that have time. Kudos to them, but I prefer convenience and my time.

The way he perfectly described Aldi, brilliant

Sounds like my mother. I just nod my head and go back to coles ☺️

Here's the thing: Everything is true. But - at least in Germany - it is also true for every other supermarket. We never had people packing our stuff or something like that. At least I cannot remember ever having witnessed that. And of course you have to take your shopping cart back to a designated area. Otherwise they would be standing around all over the parking lot. That's utter madness. We like our cars scratch-free thankyouverymuch. Also: The biggest supermarkets we have are about 10x bigger than a normal Aldi. And they diverge mainly in variety, epecially when it comes to specialized foods for lactose or gluten intolerant customers. You get way more different kind of products than different brands offering the same product. Germans in general aren't as brand-focused as say Americans. And Aldi really did change they landscape of supermarkets in Germany: Almost all kinds of shops have inexpensive store brands next to established brands these days. So even if you go to a higher class store, you're able to buy their cheap store brands that are on a comparable price level as Aldi where you don't care as much (e.g. butter or oat flakes) but get better vegetables and meat and certain brands where you do care (let's say jam or joghurt). It's actually a pretty neat system.

Aldi do have trolley wranglers (at least at the store I frequent). At others, you just return it like a civilised human being. 😂

Haha Aldi is really weird. In Germany it’s more of a regular super market and the quality is often actually surprisingly good. There is the Aldi equator - Aldi North and Aldi South, which are entirely separated because it was two brothers owning them. When I was in Australia for studying I was so surprised to see Aldi and thought they might have some of the same stuff they do in Germany, but no. I actually never went to Aldi because the things they had tasted very bad in comparison to what I knew from Europe.

That's exactly what I do.. I stop to Coles on my way home lol

So accurate, yet I love Aldi! 🥰

Jimmy ! Brilliant.!!! You're a very clever /funny fella!!! Thanks for giving me a larf!

I saw an article a few years ago that showed the long term trend of groceries in Australia and the change in the market when Aldi came in. It was something along the lines of groceries now being 30% cheaper than they would otherwise have been just because of their influence.

Aldi is a German supermarket, 1€ in the trolley, packing your own backs and alcohol in supermarkets are common here🛒 But many people love the special buy here as well. Love the video.

In Belgium (and probably most European countries) there is never someone else to put your cart back or bag your groceries. I find to be cheap and definitely not bad quality. When it comes to temporary products, they come back every year at the same time. I can't find everything at Aldi but neither do I find my favorite Aldi products at other stores. I just go to different stores. This week it was Aldi.

Love your work Mr Giggle. Brilliant.

The frozen chips they have at aldi cost about the same as the home brand frozen chips in Woolies but they taste so much better!

So true. You don't have time to pack unless you only got a couple of things.You gotta throw that stuff in the trolley at the checkout or the people waiting get pissed.

Speaking as someone who lived in the UK for years (and travelled Europe) packing your own groceries and putting your own trolley back is standard practice. We all get asked "do you want a bag" now anyway 🤷‍♀️

All I ever heard was how amazing Aldi was.. So bit the bullet & went one day. Wow. To say it was a disappointment is the understatement of the century. Never been back 😂

As a povvo person, I always stop at Aldi before I go anywhere (I shop at the local Westfield, where they have an Aldi, Woolies _&_ Coles) + get everything I can there, only going on to one of the others if there's something I couldn't get, & on my big grocery shops, it seems to save me about $20 on average. That $20 is a lot, for us, so it's 100% worth the fiddlearsing it can sometimes involve. Bless 'em.

This is 100% accurate

They bag packing and big bench used to be common place in markets everywhere. Even at huge stores like Hy-Vee (common in the Midwest, USA) like less than 30 years ago

💛😂😂you crack me up had to subscribe thankyou for the laugh sending you love and light 💛 always from NSw central coast

Jimmy I think you need an honorary degree in retail psychology 👍😂

This is wild?? Is Aldi not just normal? Who doesnt shop at Aldi? Australia is so weird... And what the hell are Rice Bubbles??

We go to Aldi in UK all the time, to be fair the quality it pretty good. And we got the bag packing down to and art 😁👍

Jimmy you’ve done it again, spot on! Personally not impressed with the place but husband loves it. He will come home with a dozen of this or that because great price, will take up space in the cupboard for a while before it goes in the bin. He saved soooo much money!!

Thanks Jimmy. You tell it like it really is but in a very funny way.We really need that these days 🤣

I’d love to see you describe Costco 🤣

Snorkel and flippers 😂 My dad got a set for each of us from Aldi’s

Interesting to see how the usual standard shopping chain of the lower to middle class of your european nation seems to be of value to the cultural aficionado (hipster) in another country.

I once bought a unicycle from Aldi. It only cost $69

Bought a 25m garden hose , with metal fittings, from Aldi. Cost -$19.99. That was 15 years ago,,,,,its still going strong.

There's actually 5 counters to checkout on(you get asked to front of que if you have a few items by cashier on customer is awesome),Special sale days are Wednesdays, Saturdays and thankfully no alcohol sales at my local Aldi in Warwick Queensland.

Just so you know, if you come to Spain you're gonna have to pack your own bags in every single super market you go to😆

So true on both counts.... The promo from a friend or neighbour and the reaction to the info. I take a wide berth around Aldi now as I have left my stuff on the side so often without waiting 3 hrs to go through the checkout. Then find a bag. Then pack it. And a trolley. Then run!!! And NOooo I don't want a catalogue!!!!!!!

I got a grocery delivery from Woolworths the other day and when I brought it inside I realised I not only had my order, but someone else’s too… someone who’d ordered 6 bottles of home-brand mineral water and a large jar of specifically Polish sauerkraut. I tried to return it but Woolies said it was their mistake so I could keep it. I feel so sorry for whoever wanted to binge on cheap mineral water and Polish sauerkraut. They should’ve just gone to Aldi.

Omg it's all so accurate! And yet I adore Aldi!

SO on point!!! Hilarious 😆

Hahaha, so true, love the headband 😅

3:02 lmao haha that reaction!

This is freaking hilarious!! So true.

Every time I watch this I love Aldi even more 😂.

The snow gear is excellent quality - as are most of the special buys. A few years ago I was able to completely outfit my granddaughter for her school trip at a fraction of what it would cost elsewhere. Yes, I know this is a comic relief video - but, lets be honest ... Aldi rocks!!

“No, not really.” LOL!

I like most of their stuff more than the regular shop brands, especially their cheese.

In Germany you have the checkout bag-packing panic in all the supermarkets. :D :D It's so stressful

I remember shopping here once in Wollongong, im from Darwin, so i was like "WHAT THE HELLL IS UP WITH THIS SPECIAL SECTIONNNN"

ALDI ski gear is the absolute best and no one can change my mind

I once bought a violin from Aldi

I don't shop at aldi often but it's always an interesting experience when I do

I must admit Aldi's had changed a lot over the 15 years that I've been shopping at it. But the ski Jackets are actually pretty good value, my son has lived in ALDI ski wear every winter since a baby.

🤣😂🤣😂 this is gold!!!

So true ❣️ But you do save quite a lot 😊

We are getting our local store Expanded . Can’t wait 😊

These are all the reasons I don't go to ALDI 😂

The distinct smell of Aldi as soon as you walk in...

I live in Rhode Island, USA and this is me. I never understood the thing with Aldi. We don't sell alcohol in supermarkets or gas stations in Rhode Island.

Ha I got a Jimmy Rees ad for buying a bed before watching the Aldi ad and thought it was the Aldi ad. Bravo Jimmy😅

They have a neat trick at my local Aldi Store. There will be a long queue of customers at the only register open, then when an old man appears, they will suddenly open another register, serve him ahead of everyone else, then close it again.

Oh, you rock this!

we just had one open up near us last week. - I'm sticking with Foodland

Some of the food at Aldi is really good actually. Like their Indulge icecream (cookies and cream flavor is amazing - huge cookie chunks!), and their battered fish! Yum! Also those Joystixx soft chewy fruit candy stick thingies are delicious.

Omg my grandmother was really trying to get me on the aldi band wagon, she was so mad when I laughed at the ski gear, we live in qld 😂

THE SAVINGS!

I LOVE IKEA!! you should do a video on ikea.

i always get my favourite clothes from aldi! :) -savings-

Yep....now I remember why I avoid the shopping ordeal at Al..di

I bought a sunhat for 5.99. I haven't worn it yet but it is ready to go when I need one. Lol.
