My Love of Aldi

If you decide to shop at Aldi, you have to know your prices.  You also have to be willing to test out the products and see what generics will work for you and what is just to gross. The produce though is excellent! Strawberries for 99 cents, blueberries for 1.99, peaches for 29 cents........nirvana for moi!!!!

Here is the recipe I made today from Aldi produce. Excellante!
