"Clothing is typically also ok though neither fashionable nor pretty. "

Nor durable in my experience. Also I bought sandals that fell apart after a week. And the tech I bought there also only looks good on the specs. So AlDI is ok for food, but anything I'd like to last, I buy elsewhere.

I bought a winter coat there for 24.99€ in November and so far it lasted quite well. Given that it’s predecessor was 10x as expensive and was quite worn after 8-ish years, it was ok.

Absolutely agree on tech, "Aldi-Notebooks" tended to have a bit of a bad reputation (not sure if they still sell them…).

Oddly enough, their plain T-shirts seem to be better quality than most of the others I own from mainstream clothing stores (and definitely better than the ones I got from Gap).
