Mashed (Food) explains

they talk about
• ALDI's limited business-hours
• using smaller packages rather than 'olage' (I'm pretty-sure I'm spelling that wrong, as I find out that 'olage' is actually either "part of a surname" or "squeezed olives" or something; and TODAY reveals that 'the air in chip-bags' is actually keeping the chips fresher with what they call "slack fill")
• making customers handle the shopping-cart stowing
• spending more in the beginning (building construction, etc.)
• Only buying a one-or-two brands of each item
• private label (cuts out the middle-man)
• fewer perishable items
• the 'just in time' model (buying stuff only when it's close to out-of-stock)
• stocking the shelves---rather than 'taking the items from the shipping-containers & arranging them on the shelves, they're shipped in 'display-cases'
• giving multiple roles to each employee
• Energy-Efficiency
• Requiring Shoppers to Bring Their Own Shopping-Bags (rather than spending tons on the usual "paper or plastic")

How can we adapt these?

You might say I 'adapt' the 'only one-or-two brands'-practice by only working with one cryptocurrency or only one PTP forum.

I am an Aldi costumer, I like it a lot, it has great products at a very affordable price. There is another supermarket chain with the same principles that I like a lot, it is Lidl. Funny that both chains are german ones.
