So Aldi is in the South part of the city and Trader Joe's is in the north. Which is really annoying because I have two Aldi's near me and no Trader Joe's. And the Aldi's near me is so badly run, hardly restocking things, leaving rotting food up, dirty in general and overall bad shopping experiences that I stopped going there altogether. Too bad Trader Joe's has several locations but on the other side of town so its difficult to get there. I hope they sort out their issues so that somehow Trader Joe's can one day open near me. |
Which town are you talking about. Near me (Lakewood/Brick) Trader Joe’s is currently down the block from the newest Aldi’s and not very far (other direction) from another one.

I was recently in Passaic at the pizza shop in Aisle 9 Market...I forget the name
The total for our lunch order was less than half of what we would pay for the same lunch in Boro Park
I dont even know how its possible
A slice of pizza was like half the price. And it was delish! |
A very quick search suggests that commercial property rentals in Passaic start at $7 per square foot and in Boro Park it's at least 35 per square foot but really what I was seeing was mostly $60 per square foot.
Totally put your money wherever you want, but a higher price may reflect greater overhead, not that someone is trying to scam you.
Passaic is surely a lovely community, but it's in a different state and more crucially in a different city than Boro Park, which is in Brooklyn, a borough within New York City. If anyone here wants to accuse a store of overpricing, they should first do the math, adjusting the prices each of these stores are charging to the prices of the overhead, and there's probably other factors to consider as well.
I mean, I don't know. Maybe they are. But a comparison of prices of food in a restaurant in Passaic vs a restaurant in Brooklyn isn't compelling. New York City consistently ranks # 1 as the most expensive city in the world. Passaic is still considered an expensive city, but it ranks 227th. You simply can't compare.

Same exact avocados is Aldi are $.79 and in GG $3-$4. No difference at all. Just price. |
Avocados in Walmart are .88 each.

What about comparing stores that are both in Lkwd and one is charging three times more on all their products that arent on sale?
