ALDI - how? [View all]

recently clued in to this place.
Their version of Little Debbie Nutty Bars,
astonishingly less expensive than the major brand,
and tastes better overall.
$3 for a quart of rich hearty soup,
and very tasty for canned.
Is that how much we're being overcharged for food at the major places,
or, what?
One thing I noticed is how they stock the shelves,
many items they just cut open a case and put it on the shelf,
not each one individually placed like most stores.
That's gotta cut their overhead, but that much?
What's going on here?
