Aldi does breakfast. Lots of it. Cereal. Eggs. Sausage. Hash browns. Even pre-cooked foods. For a low-inventory grocer, Aldi keeps a pretty robust first meal selection, including, in some cases, multiple options.

My family went to a maple sugar festival last winter that piqued our interest in real maple syrup. We tasted maple sugar, maple syrup, and the classic treat sugar on snow. I was happy to see that Aldi sells Specially Selected 100% Pure Maple Syrup as a Regular Buy that…
