    Mike, there is a shortage of baby formula in the US. This is why people asked about this. What you showed is baby food. Formula is the stuff you mix with water and put in bottles. You are very nice to try to show viewers requests. I enjoy seeing the differences in Germany. Have a great rest of your day!

      Yes, Aldi does not sell formula. The word in German is Baby Nahrung. He can find it at Drogeriemarkt DM, Kaufland and other bigger Drogeries. He could take a picture of the back showing the ingredients, possibly people who would venmo him he would ship them, it is permitted now by FDA to bring baby formula from Europe.

    For all who where asking about baby formula... Aldi don't sell much baby stuff anymore, because it didn't sell well. Few weeks ago they skipped it and donated formula and diapers to Ukraine.
    Supermarkets (like Edeka), drugstores and pharmacies usually sell formula. At Müller they have a whole shelf for it. And it usually costs beetwen 5 to 11 € per package (it usually contains about 500g). For special formula you will have to go to the pharmacy.

      In Germany, the food industries always negotiate with the markets.
      Aldi also buys overproduction from manufacturing companies, these get the Adimarkten packaging. That's why you buy branded products in the Aldi brands.
      Branded goods are often hidden behind many of the private labels in German supermarkets. But because they are not advertised, they are also cheaper.
      The small baking stadiums in supermarkets are not considered bakeries in Germany.
      For good bread that lasts a long time and doesn't start to mold after a few days.
      Should you pay a little bit more and go to a baker on your own street in Germany. There you also have more choice and you can only buy half a loaf of bread there.
      Germany is the Land with the most Art of Bread´s, i know about 350.

      Germans don't use baby formula as a regular baby food. It os considered just as a special treatment when breastfeeding doesn't work, when the baby needs additional calories etc.
      That's why it is sold usually only in drugstores and pharmacies as it is not viewed as 'food' but more as 'medical aid' (same for all those 'food supplements')

People who do just travel tips vs this a real comparison video for everyday things is tremendous. This brings back sooooo many fond memories from my trips. (I can still to this day remember the Edeka local store and the thing I bought there from 1979. You are so easy to listen to. Voice is soothing and not all over like the majority of the people on YT.

    I'm 71 now and have been an ALDI fan from the very beginning. In the past, I was a little ashamed to shop at ALDI. Even though there used to be luxury cars in the parking lot. As a student, I had no problems with that anyway. Nothing has changed in that respect to this day. I have great respect for the life's work of the two ALDI brothers who always delivered the cheapest prices with good quality. You could always rely on ALDI. Unfortunately, the business successors turn the ALDI principle a little. The assortment grows and grows and more and more branded products displace ALDI articles. Aldi articles are mostly re-labeled branded products. BTW I'm from Krefeld and the ALDI shown is around the corner from me. Greetings from Krefeld

      I heard that GMOs are not allowed in food sold in Europe. Interesting how they are allowed and all over the food sold in the USA. I notice that the Aldi brands sold in America say 'manufactured for Aldi' even the foods that say they are German foods. I wonder if that's how they get around the GMO thing to be able to sell the stuff in the USA yet make it with GMO ingredients. I wish Aldi in America sold more German food actually made in Germany and not just made for Aldi in America. I don't want the garbage with GMOs. And there is nowhere in America to find real authentic German breads and rolls except maybe an authentic German bakery, of which there are not many of those left anymore.

      I enjoy Aldi but wish it would get its stock room inventory in order, because there have been continuous supply issues in the only store within walking distance of me. In recent months they've run out of pasta, whole milk, half & half, coffee creamer, plain oatmeal, and cornstarch, among other common items---which took weeks to restock. The empty shelf areas do not look good, especially in a store that already carries far less than a large, full service grocer ten minutes from me....a local store that never experienced shortages like this even during the worst of the pandemic.

The USA had similar and equally ridiculous "blue laws" until ~50 years ago. We progressed. Germany did not. I lived in Germany and mostly loved it, but this archaic law was just stupid, especially given that it was based in religion, and Germans are far less religious than Americans.

But in Germany, Sunday is a day when the family usually get together and it's quieter. We don't need to go shopping on Sundays. Just a day without all this hustle and bustle.
