Let’s talk about vegetables. Aldi’s produce is a game of Russian roulette. You’ll find beautiful avocados next to an onion that looks like it has a skin disease. The prices are low, but you have to examine every single cucumber like you’re defusing a bomb. One bad bell pepper can ruin your whole Tuesday.
Lidl, however, has started to show off. Their produce section is fresher, and they get weird with it—like selling buckets of pre-cut mango or bagged salads that don’t immediately turn into brown sludge. Surprising fact: Lidl won an award for their fresh produce supply chain. Aldi is still trying to figure out why their bananas turn gray in two hours.
