Eh, as someone who has shopped both, I always end up back at Aldi. Lidl does have a pretty extensive selection of meats, but they always seem to be out of stock of the most common other items, or they don't carry it to begin with (like blue cheese crumbles??). Produce, if they have it in stock, seems to be in worse shape than Aldi, and prices overall have gone from pretty good to meh. I tried to shop at the Lidl in Cherry Hill the other day and I ended up just walking out halfway through (I did return my items though)...half the stuff I needed wasn't there and I realized I'd save more if I went to Aldi the next day.

Not really that surprising. This chart is the 'Philadelphia market', not just in the city itself. Giant and Wegmans have pretty much chased Acme out of the suburbs...Philly itself (and NJ) are their real strongholds. A lot more Giant stores and Wawa's in the burbs. If the chart was only looking at Philly, Acme would probably be #2 after ShopRite (just a guess).
