They sell tons of stuff that isn't food.
Clothes and work & running gear(even Aldi merch once a year), budget electronics and appliances (their toaster ovens are very often used for DIY solder reflow ovens), garden tools and supplies like slug pellets and shears, and even lower quality tools that work fine for ocassional light use.
