Almost two years ago to the day, we published our eBook, An Unofficial Guide to Shopping at Aldi. It was our attempt to put our experience with Aldi into a guide that people could use to improve their Aldi trips. A lot has changed since then, from new products to…
In a press release dated May 23, 2019, Aldi announced it has recalled Baker’s Corner All Purpose Flour that was sold at stores in the Northeastern United States because of the potential presence of E. coli. Aldi states the recall is in cooperation with ADM Milling Co. According to Aldi,…
