I’ll get it started. I just had Aldi noodles for the first time and they were pure shite.
So…Lidl is better for cheap noodles (the 5 pack ones are very decent at only 30c a pack in the 5 pack).
Aldi has a far better frozen section generally IMO.

Neither is cheap enough to justify not going to an EDEKA or REWE if those are in reasonable walking distance. Usually, the cheap store brands of EDEKA, REWE are just as cheap as the equivalent products at Aldi and Lidl (in Germany, at least). And even if you use a car for shopping, EDEKA and REWE have a much bigger selection.
Rewe is absolute garbage in comparison to Edeka. At least here up north. That said, if you have shit impulse control, both Edeka and Rewe will make you poor. That is not necessarily the case for Lidl and Aldi. Plus, the budget brands of Rewe and Edeka are garbage.
You are right for the standard eg. Ja! Product line, where prices are the same in all discounters. But Rewe and Edeka put many products that are available as housebrands with Lidl / Aldi out of their cheap product lines into their named brands for much higher prices. Examples are certain cuts of meat, cheese, etc. Look for example at chicken breast, which comes from the housebrand for a cheap price at Aldi and Lidl, is sold for much higher prices (Wilhelm Brandenburg at Rewe) for much higher kg prices. Same meat same package plant imaginary markup for walking to Rewe.
If you have to closely watch your finances and need to feed several people, you should never go to Rewe or Edeka, ever, period.
All selfmade products cost the same. But the quality is different. I have found that my edeka in general is better than any other store near by. Not just pricing but also food quality
We don’t have either of those here unfortunately.
Do you have either Aldi or Lidl within easy walking distance to your home/school/workplace? If so, just go to that one.
I have both on my way home from work conveniently, but the Lidl is handier so I use that and not so much the Aldi, but I thought I might be missing some hidden gems. :)
