It’s also not even the cheapest. A lot of food at ALDI is both cheaper and of a better quality.

Edit: I like the alternate opinions, like where people say what things in Great Value they still like. We do still buy a few Great Value things, too!

      they have a lot of store brands besides ‘great value’, though. they even have store brand TVs and laptops (Onn brand).

        Okay? This post is about the Great Value brand name being a lie. Like how Super One (Midwest grocery chain)'s in-house brand is “Essential Everyday”, which is a lie. But Great Value’s lie is a somewhat-malicious deception instead of just being merely absurd.

      That wasn’t a comment about their value deals. That was a fact about things they simply do not sell at all.

        Not exactly relevant? But I changed the post to say “food” instead of “things”, because that’s what I meant.

          Was totally relevant until you changed your post to clarify you exclusively meant food.

          Many people are more than happy to compromise a little bit on price vs. quality if they can manage to get everything they’re shopping for at one store instead of driving all around and burning gas between three or more specialty stores.

          People buy more than food ya know, they also need socks, underwear, glasses, a new tire for their car, a bicycle for their kid, etc.

          Can’t find any of that at an ALDI, and most people try not to waste gas money driving all around town.

            “It’s also not even the cheapest. A lot of things at ALDI are both cheaper and of a better quality.” I literally said “not even the cheapest”, which means a direct comparison between something at Walmart and an equivalent at ALDI, one you can compare prices with.

            And I’d rather pay $200 at ALDI for good food and then go to Walmart for non-food, than $350 at Walmart for crappy food just because I can also buy a bike at Walmart.

            -facepalm-

              Good for you, do what you do. You must have a way better ALDI than we do to brag so much, our ALDI doesn’t even sell coffee.

              Ain’t worth the gas to drive back and forth between two or three different stores when Walmart has it all.

              Don’t care about name brand, just shop for the reasonably decent deals of the day, while saving gas money and also saving time in the heat.

              Like, who TF wants to burn gas driving between three different stores in this 115⁰ heat?
