When Girl Scout cookie cravings hit but you can’t find any uniformed kids peddling the colorful boxes full of goodness, you can turn to local grocery stores for similar cookie options. In recent years, Aldi has begun offering its own line of imitation Girl Scout cookies. While it’s true that…
Earlier in the year, we stumbled on the Baker’s Corner Funnel Cake Pitcher and Mix and decided to try it out. (We liked it.) Then, a few months later, we came upon this little surprise in the Special Buy section: How could we not try this? First, for the uninitiated:…
You can make a pretty mean breakfast using Aldi products, from their low-priced bacon and eggs to their decent selection of heat-and-serve items. For those who don’t want to make french toast on their own, Aldi’s got that. Breakfast Best French Toast Sticks come in two varieties: original and cinnamon.…

EDITOR’S NOTE: We’ve had a few readers report getting boxes that only contained a few pieces, and small pieces at that. This hasn’t happened to us (yet), but we do know that Kirkwood products are covered under Aldi’s Double Guarantee: Aldi will replace the product and refund your money if…
