Aldi is alright but Lidl is better.

Use a lot of ASDA home deliveries atm and they rock cos they upgrade you on anything from your order that was out of stock. Iirc Asda is owned by Walmart these days. Don’t know if that means anything.

Any Brits been to yankland or vice versa who can clarify if Asda and Walmart are interchangable?

I'm murican and not brit but I traveled all over the US.

Walmart has more cheep stuff to chose from but eithers premium brand is likely exactly the same unless it's a made in murica thing.

Asda brought more US stuff to the shelves in the UK around 10 years ago as its part of Walmart (and people like American brands), but they still retain their UK image with things like rollback. Still the cheapest if you want to do one shop per week.

Probably Waitrose if you can afford to be in there. For regular weekly stuff that isn't bad, I've found Tesco to be steady. Asda/Lidl/Aldi aren't so good.

Sounds like Asda and Walmart are comparable. Is Walmart also full of humanatees on scooters?

What kind of supermarket products are made in America?

Yea, Asda is like that, I guess it really is Walmart (they took down all the ‘part of the Walmart family’ signs though as apparently it is a negative brand here).

They have their in store fashion department named ‘George’ so pro tip on what to name your kid if you don’t want to buy name labels ��. Lots have their own ‘Asda Cafe’ franchise in store too, but sometimes they will rent to other franchises. Bristol in ye olde times was the gateway to America* so of course has a MacDonalds instead of their own brand caf.

Surely the products you list are imported from all over? Is Walmart big on ‘Made in America’?
