I recently noticed that Aldi is selling Brussels sprouts stalks. The sprouts are still attached to the stalk on which they grew. They may taste more fresh this way, similar to tomatoes sold on the vine. I first saw Brussels sprouts stalks at Trader Joe’s, and they also are…
Aldi has several vegan options now, including these Regular Buy Earth Grown Vegan Meat Free Chickenless Patties. The product name caught our eye because it sounded sort of funny — these are chicken patties without the chicken — so my family decided to try these for dinner recently to see…
In the 1980s, the dairy industry launched a campaign to convince America that milk does a body good. In recent years, milk has become a flashpoint for debate, both in terms of its health benefits and the conditions in which America’s dairy cattle are raised. Although there is disagreement on…
I bought a box of Aldi’s Millville Fiber Now 90 Calorie Lemon Bars on a whim one day. My 10-year-old, who loves all things lemon, scarfed the entire box in a matter of days. I thought the lemon bars were pretty good, too. Then several friends mentioned how much they…
It’s a universal truth that our food tastes are connected to the weather. While the summer months are a time for cold food — ice cream, to be exact — the fall and winter months are when we pine for those hot “comfort foods.” In our view, nothing beats a…
This past year, Aldi introduced a Special Buy (ALDI Finds) line of vegan products ranging from burgers to chickenless patties to cheese substitutes. Some products have even become Regular Buys at my store. This is our running post detailing many of these items. Check back later for additional products and…
Our experiences with Aldi breakfast foods have been mostly positive; we think Aldi can do a pretty legitimate imitation of a fast food breakfast. From the eggs to the hash browns, Aldi has a good selection for the first meal of the day. When it comes to breakfast sandwiches, we…
I am not a person who likes super-spicy foods. I don’t mind a little kick in my tacos or salsa, but I prefer to taste and enjoy other flavors besides just melt-my-mouth-off-my-face spiciness. My 10-year-old daughter, however, is not like me. We were in a traditional grocery store a few…
We’re big fans of what Aldi does for breakfast: the eggs, the French toast, the sausage, the turkey sausage, the pancake-and-sasusage-on-a-stick … all of it. And we are big fans of Aldi’s hash brown patties, which do a great McDonalds impersonation. For this post we are turning our attention to Aldi’s…
Joshua also contributed to this post. Apparently the theme for my summer (besides “let’s spend money on travel”) is “let’s eat frozen pocket sandwiches.” I recently reviewed the liveGfree line of pocket sandwiches, and now my attention has turned to breakfast. I have a tall, gangly, almost-11 year old boy…
