Someone on the LTH Forum thread I mentioned said that their jams and
jellies contain real sugar, not HFCS as most do, and they come in some
interesting "European" flavors...

I very occasionally will see in their ads name - brand stuff, but not
often...

Apparently some of their stuff is the exact same as Trader Joe's, but
simply packaged under their own Aldi house label - and up to a 50%
saving in price...

The Aldi - Trader Joe's connection has been discussed here before
IIRC, they are not the same company per se, but owned by members of
the same family...

Also IIRC Walmart entered the German market several years ago and went
spectacularly bust, they could not beat Aldi on their own home
ground...German shoppers are a *very* savvy lot.
