A Colombian man bought food at the cheapest supermarket in the United States with a day's pay and claimed it was the same as D1.

Juan Díaz is a Colombian living in the United States who went viral on TikTok in recent days after sharing his experience shopping for groceries on just one day's wage at the Aldi supermarket, which he believes is the same as D1 because of the products he handles.

In this video, she documented her entire trip while shopping for essentials and explained to her followers that there was also a supermarket similar to D1 there, which was a great help for their finances.

“Today I'm going to show you what I can buy with a day's work, a minimum wage here in the United States (…) and we're going to do it in the D1 of the USA. And which one is that? Well, Aldi ,” he said.

Although he's been living in the United States for a while, this content creator finds similarities between Aldi and D1, not only because of the items it carries, but also because of the style of supermarket it is.

"See why I tell you it's the same as D1. That's how it's organized, identical," he said.

Among the products she purchased were eggs, milk, mushrooms, shampoo, garbage bags, toilet paper, hot dog buns, salmon, fruit, and tomatoes.

One thing he made clear was that he doesn't buy all of his products at that supermarket, either because they're out of stock or they sell out quickly, so he has to buy them elsewhere. In addition, there are some items he doesn't like.

“They sell good chicken and good meat here, but we don't usually buy it here. I don't know, I don't like it, although the salmon is of good quality, as is the fruit ,” Díaz added.

She spent a total of $59.10 (approximately 246,000 pesos) on all the products she purchased, which is equivalent to less than a day's minimum wage in the United States.

During his shopping trip, he had the opportunity to joke about the price he paid, as in theory it had been a good purchase because he didn't spend much and brought only what he needed. "They asked me there if I would donate, but the truth is, I'm the one who needs donations," he said.

She also showed her followers that at the other store where she bought the other products she needed, she paid $38 (approximately 158 thousand pesos) for a single bag, unlike at Aldi, where she had the opportunity to pay for more items.

"We already bought what we were missing at the other store, and a little bag here cost me $38. That's why I tell you it's the D1 here in the United States, very affordable," he concluded.
