Judging by the wonderment that we have Aldi in the US, I'd guess that pigeon is foreign. In many foreign languages, a word that looks like "biological" or "ecological" is the foreign language equivalent for the English "organic."

aaah, i dont look for those products. but doesnt the aldi owners also own trader joes? so thats like their "bio" store. i know there is some complication with the ownership of the companies, i think they are owned by different brothers or something.
If Aldi doesn't deliver on quality (and sometimes they don't, admittedly), then that is where Trader Joe's comes in. Many of my fellow Americans with me in Scotland (most of us were from NY, NJ, and CA) had their world's rocked when I told them that that ghetto grocery store in the poorer part of town owned Trader Joe's.
First, if the quality of a product is not satisfactory, Aldi has the SAME satisfaction guarantee that Trader Joe's does - return for a refund, NO QUESTIONS ASKED.
Second, there are Aldi stores in many of the upscale areas of Chicagoland and other Midwestern cities.
Reading this thread makes me curious how widely varied prices are at Aldi from area to area. Where I live they have the cheapest prices on certain things for sure like fruit, cereal, some dairy etc. I wonder if they adjust their prices by state/city to be lower than the bigger chains in that area, or if they just have the same price on items at all of their locations? Here's two that I remember off the top of my head. The bananas at my Aldi cost .44 cents/pound and the Millville oatmeal is $2.19. Is that the price of those 2 items at your Aldi?
We have recently got an Aldi's. It is almost next door to the local Walmart. I don't care for it but my wife thinks their produce is better and less expensive than Walmart. She has a few other products that she thinks are a bargain. I prefer to make one stop to get my motor oil, bread, ammo, milk and fertilizer.
My wife and I like Aldi stores for a lot of things. In my opinion they are not for everything or everyone. Some things, like produce, we get fresher in the regular markets. Their prices overall, in my opinion, are great. That said, my biggest complaint is that they bring in too many things on a "seasonal" basis. I am not talking holiday items either. You get used to an item and really like it and then it's no longer carried. I have had this happen a few times and it is really discouraging.

Pretty much all discount retailers adjust their prices to the local market.
