Seriously, Lumpy is doing the right thing. I suspect our Aldi are a bit better looking, than your's if its a dump.<BR/>Gaz xSaltydawghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06524164264315163192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1130365294127226074.post-83542657268308802642009-01-26T09:06:00.000-08:002009-01-26T09:06:00.000-08:00Aldi's has some great deals.

I buy a lot of baking supplies there (choc chips, sugar, flour etc) Their Millville cereals are pretty close to the brand names as well as their dairy products. I do notice a lot of sad people there though. Things are really getting bad economically. That's what 8 years of an #%*@^&! will do. *sigh*<BR/><BR/>Anyway, so glad to see a post from you Russ!

We have Save-A-Lot. <BR/>There are a few things that I won't buy generic, like peanut butter, and some that I actually like better then national brands. <BR/>Some things are made at the same facilities, just put under a discount label. <BR/>One of my tricks is to shop the sales for holiday foods-stock up and save money later-the cereal I use in Chex Mix were 2/$5 then and are $3.89 now. <BR/>One of my all time favorite(and cheap) snacks is homemade popcorn with real butter! Wallyworld has really good quality popping corn-big fully kernels that hold more butter and salt!<BR/><BR/>It's good to see you here again.<BR/><BR/>:)LeighLeigh/BlueDragonflyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05207239311719933452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1130365294127226074.post-4398237200389850232009-01-25T18:41:00.000-08:002009-01-25T18:41:00.000-08:00dude, i can't get past the kreepy kids place. tha...dude, i can't get past the kreepy kids place. that's just wrong. grins, debra (omg, dude, the dude i'm with now, he LOVES b movies and campy horror and scifi stuff and such; and he lent me "FIDO" {"good dead are hard to find"}.Debrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16175937125258061954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1130365294127226074.post-7398526448161760002009-01-25T17:59:00.000-08:002009-01-25T17:59:00.000-08:00I like Aldi's prices, and don't have a problem wit...I like Aldi's prices, and don't have a problem with most generic stuff--but haven't shopped there much because there isn't one locally. <BR/>Generic soda's never that good, to me, but I don't drink that much, anyway. Generic chips have come a long way in the last few years, though--and any generic canned vegetable or fruit is just about as good as name brand. Except spinach. But I don't like canned spinach, anyway.sim warfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08757423209437222877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1130365294127226074.post-69522292009790018732009-01-25T12:32:00.000-08:002009-01-25T12:32:00.000-08:00This has me hysterical because Don and I went into...This has me hysterical because Don and I went into an Aldi's once and both of us were like WHAT THE HELL?

We DO have an Aldi's nearby, though, and about once a year we stock up on canned goods. A case of mushrooms, a case of beans, etc. My Mom also swears by them for fruits and veggies, because they have a really fast turnover rate.<BR/><BR/>A good way to save a little money these days!<BR/><BR/>By the way, we don't do generic pop, either. Diet Coke or Diet Pepsi, no substitutes.<BR/><BR/>BethBethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05149068921334726430noreply@blogger.com
