“I’m full on the Aldi train just because of my financial situation,” someone explains. “When I see how much your money has gone, I can’t go back. There are two more supermarkets in my city and for that price you get literally half the shopping.

US inflation rose to 9.1% in June, the highest since 1981 and beyond economists’ forecasts
From the grocery store to the gas pump, rising prices were inevitable for most Americans this year.
According to the government’s consumer price index, inflation hit a 40-year high of 9.1% last month, forcing many people to make big changes to their buying and spending habits.
According to CNBC’s 800-Person Across Americas This Month Survey, more than 4 in 10 people spend less on groceries, and about a third use their credit cards more frequently to get through the crisis.
In the spring, Aldi CEO Jason Hart reiterated his commitment to keeping lost products in the United States during this period at potential price.
“Whatever happens in the world around us, ALDI will always be the low-cost leader in every community we serve,” he said in a letter to customers.
