In germany, the meat selection in ALDI is very small. You go to ALDI for the off-brand sweets, the basic cooking ingredients (fruits, veggies, canned goods, etc.), drinks (water, beer, off-brand softdrinks) and some misc. household items.

I think the aldi nearest to my home does not even sell pre-processed meals outside of frozen stuff (like Pizza) and canned soups.

In germany, they also have a rotating selection of cheap random stuff, ranging from laptops over garden chairs and tools to rugs and sheets. It's usually a very limited supply and most of the time not that bad for the pricetag (even the laptops).

That said, I prefer the competitor "Penny", because I know the layout better and they are a bit nicer, at least in my town.

Sounds like they are the same as in the states.
