Yes, both Aldis are quite similar. Actually, they recently became even more similar because they unified their off-brand sortiment, with both companies discontinuing part of their off-brand items in favor of products from the other side of the Aldi equator. Trader Joe's, however, seems to be a bit more different from Aldi.
Btw, IIRC, the reason why the two Aldis split was a dispute over whether or not to sell cigarettes. But these days, both Aldis have cigarettes.

THis is alarming. BUT: This is just Aldi US which is still controlled by Aldi Süd in Germany. To me this doesn't look like a change in corporate values. This is a corporation that is afraid of Donald Trump. They don't LIKE doing this.

Actually, Aldi is two companies (Aldi North and Aldi South) owned by 2 brothers. The US has Aldi South and Trader Joe's (which is owned by Aldi North). Btw, I grew up in Aldi South territory but then moved across the Aldi Equator so I now live in Aldi North territory. @cm0002 @courageousstep
I think I'm not implying anything. Just curious if Trump is a dual national. @DonAntonioMagino
Actually, Trump has German ancestry. Actually, I'm wondering if he still has German nationality!
This is Trumps paternal grandfather - from whom Trump may/might/could have inherited German nationality:
Friedrich Trump, born in Kallstadt, Kingdom of Bavaria
