Aldi matches Walmart generally, not the other way around. Publix, the villagers dream store, is generally high priced except for most BOGO items. And the comment from the poster about Aldi's carrying the basics you must sleep in Publix's parking lot! LOL

I'm not sure I know of anything that Walmart sells that Aldi does as well? In any case, I am getting a gallon of milk at the Walmart Neighborhood store for $2.86! I haven't seen a gallon of milk under $3.00 in a few years. Heck, Sam's club is selling it for $3.60.

"Bleeding hearts" You mean people who think others should be paid a living wage? If we are bleeding hearts, what do you call people who think it's okay that people need two or three jobs to stay afloat?

So, in your opinion, how much should an unskilled high school dropout, an ILLEGAL alien, or a 17 year old kid looking for his first job be paid?????

I don’t understand your comment…..Aldi’s and Walmart both sell groceries which is what this post is about!

Believe the point was that every cost added to producing or supplying a product needs to be offset by an increase in price if the profit is to be maintained. I only hope that the increase is an absolute dollar amount and not a percentage (e.g., 25% increase in cost of goods sold should not mean a 25% increase in profit). If you are making $5 on a sale before you should be allowed to make $5 now but not $6.25!!!

Is that because profit, which is in turn spent on reinvestment in the business, salary raises or dividends is not subject to inflation?????? Ever run a business?????

Aldis has those items, yes. Aldis is great but they do not carry everything. I go to aldi's first then Publix right after to get those items Aldis did not have.

Ever notice how prices go up instantly but take months, if ever, to drop? Merchants are clearly incentivized to take advantage of the higher margins caused by dropping costs (i.e. lower inflation). Classic example; gas prices. Something happens in the Middle East and pump prices go up over night, even though the new oil takes 3 months to be shipped, refined and delivered to market.

Replacement cost, commodities futures and distribution cost all factors in.

Here is a possible cause for higher prices. The stimulus and its after effects. Those trillions of dollars must be accounted for in the economic cycle and its payback time. Like the people and sectors that benefitted from the stimulus payback may not be fairly spread, or you might say, when elephants dance the price of eggs goes up.
