I do not remember the name of the cookie.<br /><br />Aldi's has MnM bags avaliable I've found the bag is always more expensive there than at the regular box store.<br />It always seems that their canned beans have more sauce than the regualar box store brand of beans. Although I know it is cheaper to buy dried beans, I like to have a few cans of canned beans in the pantry. Have you noticed this?<br />LorindaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32960314.post-40953006143709617962018-08-11T16:33:32.385-04:002018-08-11T16:33:32.385-04:00Alas, no Aldi’s here, but your post makes me wish ...Alas, no Aldi’s here, but your post makes me wish there were one close by.

This has been the case since they remodeled the old store....it now is big enough for all the extra goodies they did not carry before. Around here, I think its losing the stigma of being an "off brand store" of less quality. They are always packed now.<br /><br />I've not tried that butter. I've wanted to but can't go that price in the regular store. I'll remember next time I get there to try it. And the chocolate. Your post reminded that I had forgotten to grab my bag out of the car in 85 degree heat.....salted caramels in the clamshell boxes. Oh my. They were fine and they are not cooling off a bit. Had they melted I'd just have to get a spoon....<br /><br />The produce is much better grade since they remodeled. Fresher, more selection. Today I grabbed a couple pints of blueberries at 99 cents each. <br /><br />I grabbed some Knoppers too....its a five pack for not much money. A five layer wafer bar with hazelnut chocolate...you get the picture. German.<br /><br />I really should do a bit more shopping at Aldi. For heaven sake, its in the same parking lot almost with Walmart. Everything is always a few dimes cheaper.<br /><br />You turned me on to the trash bags a while ago. They are good quality. I've never done the math comparing them. I trust you enough after all these years to KNOW you have done the math and they are a good value for the quality, if they are not the cheapest. <br /><br />I stop in Monday....They have a nice drying rack that I think might be a good addition. I'll take a peak at that hamburg too. <br /><br />Thanks for all you do Brenda! Keeping you in my thoughts with the eye problem.

We have an Aldi's site opening soon about an hour and a half from us. But we go pass it when going to our son's home, so I am looking forward to shopping there. Will be looking for some of the items you suggested.
