An Aldi shopper traveling through Europe was shocked by what she found after visiting an Aldi supermarket in Portugal for the first time.
Queenie Tan, 26, and her fiance Pablo, 30, from Sydney, are on a round-the-world trip and have posted a video of their overseas experience with Aldi.
Unlike Aldi stores in Australia, the overseas supermarket had an orange juice machine, a bread slicer for shoppers to use and a variety of fresh seafood.

Queenie Tan, 26 (left) and her fiance Pablo, 30, from Sydney, are on a trip around the world and have posted a video of their overseas Aldi experience. In a now-viral video shared online, Queenie shared her experience visiting an Aldi in Portugal for the first time.
Unlike most stores in Australia, the overseas supermarket had an orange juice machine, a bread slicer for shoppers to use and a variety of fresh seafood.
In the clip, Queenie can be seen using the juicer trying to fit an entire box of fresh oranges over her head into the machine.
“Putting this whole box of oranges into the machine seemed easier in my head. It’s best to do what Pablo does and put them in one by one!’ she said
The oranges – with the skin on – were placed at the top of the machine, squeezed and the fresh juice was ejected into a bottle at the bottom.
The 26-year-old then used the bread slicer where customers can choose their desired thickness.
“The sound of this machine is so satisfying!” Queenie said.
To use the machine, a loaf of bread was placed on one side of the conveyor belt to pass through the sharp slicer.
Customers simply place the bread in a brown paper bag once it has passed through the other side.
Unlike Aldi supermarkets in Australia, the overseas version offers fresh seafood and a variety of canned fish.
The shop also sold freshly made Portuguese cakes, which looked delicious.

Others noted how select Australian supermarkets also offer a juice machine or bread slicer.
‘Some Coles have these orange juice machines! So good,” one person wrote.
