Sometimes you have to wonder just who thought up certain product. I mean, does a person just say, “you know, I should totally invent a quality banana slicer,” or wake up one day and proclaim, “you know, what the world really needs is a dog selfie stick“? I have no idea.…
A while back, we posted a collection of e-mails we’ve received from people who think we’re Aldi. This is in spite of the face that our about page, our contact page, our disclosure policy page, and our tagline all go to great lengths to note that we’re not Aldi. We still get e-mails. Here, again,…
Each week we highlight a few of the more interesting items in the upcoming Aldi ad. Note that, in our area, the ad takes effect on Wednesday, but in some areas it may take effect as early as today, Sunday. This week’s theme includes technology, moving supplies, bathroom gear, kitchen…

Aldi has several good options in the meat department if you’re looking for a seasoned, ready-to-bake or ready-to-grill entree. The Roseland Pork Sirloin Roast is one of those options. The Roseland Boneless Seasoned Pork Sirloin Roast is sold refrigerated and contains up to a 15% solution of water, vinegar, sodium…
