Aldi Has A Strict Testing Process
Mind you, Aldi takes the quality of its offering very seriously. The test kitchens follow strict policies. Before they are taken to the store, the products have all been tested 30 times. Not only that, but they undergo retesting at least once a year. Sometimes they do even more when a competitor introduces something similar to it!
They Follow The Philosophy Of Verzicht
Do you know what verzicht is? There is no direct translation in the English language. However, it pretty much means both “doing without” and “giving up.” We highly recommend keeping this in mind if you want a simple and thrifty life. The employees are not going to tell you about this since they are not allowed to talk to the media. However, a regional manager explained the Aldi business plan in his book. It turns out that the philosophy of the grocery store chain is to keep it simple! Clearly, it works for them.
