I thought Trader Joe's was Aldi? (Edit: I remembered correctly)

Also, don't let yourself be deceived by the low prices, they are made on the backs of mistreated employees (making the Albrecht family billionaires and some of the richest people in Germany and the world).

Edit2: ah. Not that it makes any difference to non-Germans, but Aldi Nord has Trader Joe's, this is Aldi Sรผd.

Edit3: do buy your food there if you can't afford anything else, I'm not telling you to starve. Just to be aware.
