For some stuff (fruit and veg) they are dramatically cheaper on many lines.

The ONLY time I ever threw away a complete package of fruit was the time
I got peaches in an Aldi in Dusseldorf. They were utterly inedible, hard
and tasteless.

IMHO the best truism is 'You get what you pay for'

Unfortunately it doesn't seem to matter where you buy fruit. I often
throw out fruit because it unpleasant - unripe (never to ripen),
tasteless or just 'off flavours' not related to the fruit in question.
