ATTENTION BECK!! - I was at Aldi and they had Steak-ums as a “Special Purchase” item. If you have an Aldi near you, you might want to check it out.

I thought Aldi never sold anything from a “known” American brand.

They sell occasional name-brand stuff. They have Coke next to their name brand soda.

From their FAQ:

Q. Does ALDI carry brand names?
A. Shoppers will find that more than 90 percent of the products in our stores are ALDI exclusive brands. ALDI exclusive brands allow us to provide the same high-quality product without passing on all of the hidden costs associated with the national brands, such as marketing and advertising. Recently, we have added a limited selection of national brands in addition to our ALDI exclusive brands. We made this decision in response to feedback from our customers, who have strong brand preferences, yet would like to complete more of their grocery shopping at ALDI. We also may carry a national brand if we are not able to procure an exclusive brand product that meets or exceeds the quality and taste of the national brand.
