Aldi in the US is very different than Trader Joe’s in the US.
The only advantage to Aldi that I’ve found is when it imports European things that are hard to get in the States normally (as @ClutchLinkey said above).
TJ’s has tasty processed options that are helpful for those who don’t have a lot of time or kitchen to cook from scratch. Also, decent quality shelf-stable basics. Produce needs to be eaten quickly, though.
They don’t cater to the same clientele, at all.
