I grew up with Aldi shopping in Germany, it was the supermarket my mum did most of our shopping. Their policy is to serve the basic stuff, we always went into Aldi and to another shop to get the rest. Food quality is good and they sell twice weekly (at least in Europe) non-food items, which most of the time are also good qualitywise. These items are usually sold once or twice a year.
They are nearly 10 years in Ireland now, they have a complete different fresh food product range here, offering a lot of Irish products. They (and Lidl) brought the high food prices in Ireland a good bit down.
They keep their prices low by only stocking everyday produce, putting out the products in the boxes and not shelving them and having not too many cash points open. Love their ice-cream and chocolate btw.
