☆ I visited Aldi and Lidl's stores and spotted the strategies they use to save shoppers money, from mimicking big-name brands to selling products straight out of crates

While Aldi and Lidl both sell some big-name brands, they mainly sell own-label products. Some of their products appear to be based closely on popular brands, and in many cases were displayed right next to them but sold for much lower prices. Younger shoppers are increasingly brand-agnostic, and inflation is pushing more customers to trade down. Coffee sachets made by Nescafé that cost £1.69 ($1.96) were next to Aldi's own-label equivalent Alcafé that cost £0.95 ($0.98). Their boxes look very similar at first glance, and the shelf labels described them both as "frothy coffee sachets."

Aldi says its US sales are rising as inflation-strapped shoppers turn to budget stores, Reuters reported. Aldi is known for its low prices, which are possible because of the range of unusual cost-cutting measures it deploys. Patton said that one million new customers have started shopping at Aldi over the past year, including a rise in middle- and high-income shoppers. Some products, including eggs, butter, and cooking oil, have been much harder hit than others. Customers are trading down by switching to grocery-store private labels — both because of inflation and because shoppers are increasingly brand agnostic.

Sectoarele care au nevoie stringentă de mână de lucru, precum supermarketurile, abatoarele şi exploataţiile agricole, sunt primele care au adoptat astfel de iniţiative. Un gigant din industria cărnii, JBS, propune 100 de dolari angajaţilor vaccinaţi şi a distribuit documente în mai multe limbi pentru a insista asupra siguranţei şi eficacităţii vaccinării. La jumătatea lunii martie, aproximativ o treime dintre cei 60.000 de angajaţi ai săi primiseră deja o primă doză de vaccin anti-COVID-19. Mai multe lanţuri de supermarketuri acordă angajaţilor lor vaccinaţi despăgubiri ce constau între două şi patru ore plătite. Anumiţi angajaţi pot să se prevaleze de excepţii din motive medicale sau religioase.
