Spargel is asparagus. White asparagus is the one, that is being kept under soil, so it grows below the earth and stays white in the process. It is the same plant as the green asparagus you well know. Oh and our price tags include tax, so what you see is what you pay.
Ahh 😌
Hela Curry-Ketchup is a totally different experience... The different colours on the cap are for different taste and spicyness.🤓
Mmm they sound good! I like mixing some hot sauce sometimes into our ketchup. We also usually have Filipino spicy banana ketchup which I love to have in the fridge
They are extremely sweet. I didn't like it.
@@herrkulor3771 just checked mine, it clearly states between 15% and 18% sugar, depending on type -> Ketchup is basically candied tomatoes in a bottle ^^
@@BR618 I checked also now, Hela is 29g sugar out of 100g.
@@herrkulor3771 only sugar? I use the store brand of K-Land 16g/100g "davon Zucker". 68% tomato-paste (concent.)? edit: just thought of last authem ... i used about 30g sugar per 100g berries for my jams 🤐
By the way, Trader Joe's is a German company. It belongs to Aldi Süd. Aldi Nord operates in the USA under the name Aldi and is successful there.
This is completely wrong. Trader Joe's does not belong to Aldi, it belongs to the Markus Foundation. And the Markus Foundation is a family foundation of the "North" Albrechts. Aldi South has the stores in the US under the name Aldi.
@@helloweener2007 nearly right, Trader Joe belongs to ALDI North, ALDI South is in the US only ALDI
@@alexanderblume5377 "Trader Joe belongs to ALDI North" No, Trader Joe's belongs 100% to the Markus-Stiftung. Aldi North belongs to 61% to the Markus-Stiftung. They are both in the same ownership but Trader Joe's is not a daughter company of Aldi Nord. Trader Joe's is in ownership of the Albrecht family but not in ownership of the company Aldi Nord. They are sister companies.
@@helloweener2007 Are you saying there third one too? Aldi Nord, Aldi Süd and what is third one?
@@UltraCasualPenguin Ich sprach von den Familienstiftungen. Rechtlich gesehen, sind alle Aldi-Filialen in Regionalgesellschaften aufgeteilt. Damit man gewisse Anforderungen für Unternehmen mit einer bestimmten Anzahl an Mitarbeitern nicht erfüllen muss wie z.B. Betriebsrat. Die Regionalgesellschaften gehören wiederum anderen Unternehmen, deren Anteile dann von Stiftungen gehalten werden. Die Stiftungen wiederum sind in Besitz von Albrecht Familienmitgliedern. Bel Aldi Nord gibt es 3 Stiftungen, die Markus-Stiftung, die Lukas-Stiftung und die Jakobus-Stiftung. Der Markus-Stiftung gehört Trader Joe's in den USA zu 100% und 61% von Aldi-Nord. 19,5% gehören jeweils der Lukas- und der Jakobus-Stiftung. Aldi Nord sind 57 Regionalgesellschaften in 8 Europäischen Ländern. I spoke about the family foundations. Legally speaking, all Aldi branches are divided into regional companies. So that you don't have to meet certain requirements for companies with a certain number of employees, such as a works council. The regional companies in turn belong to other companies whose shares are then held by foundations. The foundations, in turn, are owned by Albrecht family members. Bel Aldi Nord there are 3 foundations, the Markus Foundation, the Lukas Foundation and the Jakobus Foundation. The Markus Foundation owns 100% of Trader Joe's in the USA and 61% of Aldi-Nord. 19.5% each belong to the Lukas and Jakobus Foundations. Aldi Nord has 57 regional companies in 8 European countries.
In any case, he went shopping after 5 p.m. because the display in the bakery was quite poor. And the fresh asparagus (the Germans like white asparagus) and the radishes were also gone. If you really want freshly harvested vegetables or freshly baked bread, go shopping earlier in the day. Supermarkets only offer a certain amount of perishable/fresh goods so that they don't have to throw away too much in the evening. However, some food banks pick up leftover products in the evening.- Although there are grocery stores in large cities like Cologne or Berlin that are open 24 hours a day, the vast majority of grocery stores there close at 10 p.m. In small towns earlier and in Bavaria the opening times are even more restrictive.
Makes sense. Thank you 😊
Yes, you can buy alcohol in the german supermarkets - from wine to beer, whiskey to other hard liquor, champagne, etc. To buy beer, you need to be age 16 only! For the other alcoholic drinks, you need to be 18. The cheapest beer (= half-liter size) costs around 50 cent (incl. taxes). It is also legal to drink alcohol in public. So in the summer you might see some german teens drinking beer in the park. But they won't get extremly drunk as they drink very responsible ... and have to walk home, later on, or have to go to school the next day.
Wow interesting
Trader Joe's is a German grocery chain and belongs to ALDI Nord. ALDI South was the first which opened stores in the USA in 1976. When Aldi North followed later they couldn't name they stores ALDI for corporate identity reasons so the brand name Trader Joe's was choosen.
there is even chocolate they sell only to adults...some RitterSport got real 1% Rum!
Yes you have the same Systems with Shoppingcenter cart since Aldi bring this from germany to Amerika
Oh yes Spagel is Esperagus !Mike is a cool guy he had an Chanel on KZhead (GIV)😊
Ah thanks
*asparagus (white or green)
@@berlindude75 weiß!
Trader Joe's is actually owned by the german Aldi North.
Wow I didn’t know!
you get all types of alcohol in every grocery store in germany, beer, wine and liquor, also the drinking age is way lower, beer and wine at 16 everything else at 18
Man that’s different from here. The states also sells in the grocery store. Everything here is basically dependent on province. In BC and Ontario it’s so heavily govt involved, in fact it’s only gov run stores in Ontario. Alberta is private business so usually cheaper. Also in gas stations etc I think
@@UntilWeregoing the german drinking culture has something to do with that, in bavaria for example beer isnt just a baverage, its considered as a staple fooditem
I could get on board with that
That was before the inflation and shrinkflation... same package less content. Trader Joe's is by Aldi Nord, Aldi is Aldi Süd.
the ketchup he's getting is as an acquired taste. It's kind of thin and they have various flavors, with curry, or hot. I got two bottles of those once when they were on special offer, I've still not used all of it years later. I don't even know if it's good to eat anymore. I prefer classic type tomato ketchup. Schumacher had the skiing accident, he's still in hospital to this day, but the family has decided to tell nothing but the minimum to any press. I never cared for the racing stuff, but I respect their decision, especially as some media would probably pay them millions to get the exclusive story, new pictures and interviews with them. There's a funny story about thos little plastic shopping cart coins. Basck in the days when corruption was still taken seriously, a German minister had to resign from office because he endorsed a relative or friend's production of these coins on official government documents. I'm guessing he didn't even get paid. A while later, he died in a probably purposefully suicidal parachute jump.
Hela is still good
Greetings to Vancouver! I love your city so much.
Hey, thanks!
Have you been?
Alcohol is still quite cheap even though prices have gone up. Wine and sparkling wines that were 2.50 are now 3€ but on sale still 2,60€ instead of 2.30
Not too bad!
Your prices can’t be high. It takes me closer to 100€ if I buy some meat or fresh fish for week shopping one person. ❤️🇫🇮
I spend around 40€ a week. I rarely buy meat though^^
Those prices were before the pandemic... Now in some cases they have nearly doubled or are at least 30 - 50% higher. It's insane...🤔👎
Governments need to get their priorities set 😡
Not exact the prices before the pandemic. The BILD newspaper in the video was from 12.04.2022. This is 8 days after the first lockdown was ended in germany.
@@benjaminrieker5244 Ähm... You meant 2020, not 2022. At that time in 2022, the plague, was indeed over and the war in the east, was on for several weeks. And the inflation, started in December 2021, but the war pushed it far more...
You are wrong, in more than one case...
@@melchiorvonsternberg844 You are correct the first lockdown was in 2020 not 2022, my foult. But my message was aimed on the sentence "before the pandemic". In the video are not many masks to see this is probably the reason while martinkasper197 think its before the pandemic. The joke about the corona beer in the video screams also not prepandemic.
