Today Jochanan went to compare the prices in Lidl in Wettingen while Primo went to Aldi in Wettingen. While comparing a few prices we noticed that the stores in Wettingen were a lot smaller than in Waldshut. While looking for the exact same products, I sometimes had to look for similar ones, because they weren't available. So what we both did, was take the cheapest product we saw and compared it to the cheapest product in Germany with the same genre. Since it is the cheapest product available in the country, we felt that this is a good comparison. Another problem was nationalism supported in both shops. The two Supermarket chains supported local businesses, so the meat and bread was made in Switzerland, which of course made a massive difference on the meat prices, which were twice or even three times as high as in Germany. A surprising factor was, that in Aldi water was cheaper in Switzerland, even without the depot that you pay in Germany. 19 Cents per litre in Germany and 16 Rappen in Switzerland.
In Aldi in Wettingen, especially in the beauty product section, a lot of products were not sold in the store like dove deodorants and shampoos.
So next time we would probably write down the Swiss prices, before comparing them to the German prices.
While Jochanan and Primo went price-listing, Lirim researched the exact taxation laws in Germany.
Next time we will try to create a map and find out how much you save on a regular shopping tour when going to Germany instead of Switzerland.
