Check their online flier for the week. I love their Brie. When I saw the best by date was early January I got three. One is for Thanksgiving. The butter at Jewel, our major grocery chain here is at least $4. I don’t use margarine at all.Originally Posted by happystuff
Speaking of brie, I bought the most horrific “brie spread” this week at our little grocery store. UGG it is awful. Our dog will see it as topping of his regular food for the next few days.
What was the brand?
Made my first visit to out to Virginia since my middle dd's family moved there a couple of years ago. I had seen so much talk about Aldi's on this website, it was on my list of things to do.
The whole quarter lock for shopping carts is quite smart - there were no stray carts in the parking lot. We found most everything we needed. It was much smaller than what I had imagined. Was surprised to see the checkout lady sitting in an office chair! There was only one person doing the checkout, but it looked like all the stations were set up that way? I am use to shopping in big grocery stores. We live within about a mile of a Target, Walmart, Fred Meyers (Kroger), Safeway, Winco, and Albertsons. While their selections are huge, sometimes they are just too big. If I lived near an Aldi's I could see myself shopping there more often.
Aldi is based in Germany. I’m told the German locations are very similar size wise. A lot of grocery stores are just too big. I appreciate the lack of choice at Aldi. Yes, their cashiers sit down. Why not?
I love that Aldi lets its cashiers sit down. Humane thing to do. Small stores with basic supplies. We used to get a small rolled turkey roast there.
Only reason we do not go is that we try hard to limit our processed food and find that a SMALL local Kroger is our favorite for sales prices and a deal my husband uses. Since we do Chewy for our expensive cat food and Amazon for many of his tool needs, we buy gift cards at Kroger and get a $1 per gallon discount on gas. Our city is covered by Krogers so we have a lot of gas stations to use.
Sorry, I don’t remember and the container is now out in the garbage.
Just avoid anything brie “spread.”
We had a successful trip to Aldi's. A pineapple for $1.89 and it is delicious. (husband cut it up in 10 minutes we have Lots to eat), butter for $1.99 lb. and walnuts for $4.99 I think a pound. But the best is the bratwurst!!!! As soon as my husband said Aldi's was on the list, I salivated for brats! They are pale and wonderful fully cooked, just heat in the microwave in a bed of sauerkraut!
I just got home from shopping. I was asked to bring a cherry pie for Thanksgiving. Aldi had no cherry in the baked goods section and no frozen ones. I went to a smaller family run grocery store that I’ve shopped a lot at in the past. Great international stuff. Anyway, they had Sara Lee frozen pies on sale for $5 (usually $8.50). So I got a cherry one for Thanksgiving and some frozen cherry turnovers for me. I also got some shrimp there. I’ve been eating a lot of that lately. Orthodox Advent began on Wednesday (40 days before Christmas) and we try to go at least meat free. My Moroccan shrimp dish is very easy. I got some yogurt and canned goods at Aldi, as well as crackers to go with the Brie I bought last week for Thanksgiving. I’m now done with grocery shopping until after the holiday.
The last couple of weeks, I've been shopping at both Aldi's and my regular grocery store. I have been pretty consistent with having the bill about $80 for the week combining the two. Heading out again today, so hoping for the same results. Anyone else seeing a reduction? Or making a reduction happen?
