Oops, yes it covers US only. Could not find easily available data for European countries :)

In Germany we have two Aldis, Aldi South and Aldi North. I am pretty sure that within the region they cover prices for each product is the same everywhere.

  Yeah, Aldi in the US is Aldi South, Trader Joe's is a subsidiary of Aldi North.

There's also Aldi in Australia and China Also I'm not quite sure about the grammar of "Aldi's"

  I will check if I can find data for Australia or China. Fixed the grammar :)

    Would be great for Australia, we have a supermarket monopoly, divided by two major chains, then Aldi's supermarkets and Foodland's supermarkets.

    Where did you find the data source for the USA? It'd be amazing to see this data mapped across time, as it'd be a relatively good indicator of grocery inflation.

      I would be also interested in the data source. I work in european food retail business and I am not aware of any data sources like this.

  Lots of complaints about this. While the store is called "Aldi", surely the prices are Aldi's... :)

You and me both. I'm in Europe (Aldi Süd) and have been looking for something like that for years.

  At least for Germany this launched last year: https://www.mein-aldi.de/ https://www.mein-aldi.de/ But I've heard that it has not the whole collection of items available as the physical stores.

Aldi products in Europe vary by country, so harder to compare. I'm also not sure if the prices vary within countries.

  In the UK, it looks like only Scotland gets its own version of the leaflet, but the prices seem to be the same: https://www.aldi.co.uk/c/specialbuys/leaflet https://www.aldi.co.uk/c/specialbuys/leaflet

    This is probably because the promotion of Alcohol is restricted in Scotland, but not the rest of the UK.

      They also carry nicer beef and salmon that they don't sell in England

  To be fair, Aldi products in the US vary by state. There likely is less variance than in Europe. I think in the US the local differences are largely based on what foods they are able to get locally for an attractive price.

Denmark sadly just got a whole lot easier to add. Aldi gave up and closed their last stores before Christmas. Apparently losing 1 billion DKK every year is just bad business.

  Wow, that's surprising! I live at the German/Danish border (Flensburg) and didn't know this. Have you got any idea, why? Close at the border we have a lot of shops where people from Denmark (and even Norway and Sweden) travel to to go shopping, because it is so much cheaper here. But thinking about it, I have never seen/overheard Danes in an Aldi - and I wonder why?
  - mrweasel 3y ago
    They closed because they lost money for 40+ years straight, or close to it. Aldi never really adapted their stores to Danish habits in the same way that Lidl has. The design of their stores always made you feel like you traveled back in time to the 70s or early 80s. They did to modernize in the later years, but it was simply to late. The stores still smelt weird though. It may also be partly due to Aldi reluctance to carry brands beyond their own. For some items Danes don't care, but if you then can't get the brand name cereal or ketchup, then you have to go somewhere else anyway. The Danish supermarket space is insanely competitive, in regards to price, so Aldi just didn't have much of an advantage over local discount stores anyway, at least not enough that you'd bother splitting your shopping between two stores. I believe they lost €125m+ per year in the final years, loses that need to be covered by Aldi Nord in Germany. In the end they just didn't want to keep losing money. REMA1000, from Norway, bought a large number of the stores. Not sure why, they look nothing like REMAs own stores, and in some places they are literally across the street from an existing store.
