Hmm   I think this is another example of different countries,/different
terminologies.  What you just described there sounds
very much like my local Aldi, which most people here think of as a
supermarket, not a discounter.  A supermarket that is
cheaper than the other supermarkets, a supermarket that mostly sells
products that are made for them under brand names
that disguise the fact that the real brand is Aldi), but still a
supermarket.

Over in the US a discount store means something very different.  It is much
closer to being a wholesaler that sells to
the public.
