Aldi offers several varieties of protein bars and granola bars in the breakfast and snack aisle. Today, we’re looking at the Millville Protein Chewy Bars. These protein bars come in two flavors: Peanut, Dark Chocolate and Almond as well as Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter. My biggest concern when buying snack…
I stumbled upon Aldi’s line of hot pockets liveGfree Stuffed Sandwiches almost by accident. I was looking for an easy, healthy, and preferably vegetarian frozen lunch option to take to work, and I was tired of paying high prices for bland food from other grocery stores. I first tried the Spinach,…
Pasta is pasta, right? Most boxed, dry pastas are pretty self-explanatory. You boil some water, throw the pasta in until it’s cooked al dente, and then mix with your favorite sauce. Aldi’s Reggano Elbow Macaroni is no different. What makes this pasta special is the recipe on the back of…
Turkey is a staple of a traditional Thanksgiving feast, but let’s be honest: cooking turkey can be an ordeal. You’ve got to thaw the thing for days, properly prep it, cook it for hours, cut it up, and dispose of the waste. Oh, and somewhere in there you’ve actually got…
I wrote here last year about Aldi’s white vinegar. It’s your basic distilled white vinegar with 5% acidity, good for cooking, using in salad dressings, or using for general household cleaning or unclogging drains. My only complaint last year was that Aldi sold its distilled white vinegar only in a…

This was comfort food all the way — grilled…
I’ve never understood why disposable razors can be so expensive. They’re basically a cruel little piece of metal encased in plastic, and yet the “high-end” ones are ridiculously priced. If I’m going to cut myself shaving — and I know I will sooner or later — I’d rather not spend…
Peanuts and chocolate are, to me, pretty much the power couple of sweets. Whether it’s Butterfinger bars, Peanut M&Ms, or just about anything by Reese’s — Peanut Butter Cups, Pieces, you name it — I rarely meet a combination of the two that I don’t like. That’s not to say…
There was a time when butter was the go-to choice in the kitchen, but in recent decades other substitutes, such as margarine and spreads, have emerged as a healthier alternative to butter. Butter is still usually best for things like baking — and I personally prefer the taste of butter — but…
This is a guest post by Kelly. One of the favorite jokes in our household is that whenever someone eats something gross, they immediately find another person and say, “This is gross—try it!” My family apparently thought I was about to poison them because I was immediately teased when I…
