During a recent foray to Aldi’s distant cousin, I took note of some of the quick-serve frozen dishes there. Trader Joe’s likes to stock easy-to-prepare dishes in their chest freezers, and when I saw that chicken quesadillas were among them, I figured they were worth taking for a spin. Trader…
Trader Joe’s has several salsa options, including several jars under the Mexicanized name Trader José’s. There is Trader José’s Salsa Verde and Trader José’s Salsa Autentica (which claims to be on the spicy side) … and then there is this product, Trader José’s Chunky Salsa, which registers on the mild end…

Aldi’s cousin store, Trader Joe’s, has a decent selection of international foods, and that includes Indian food such as samosas and aloo chaat kati pouches.

My family enjoys Indian food, and Trader Joe’s and Aldi stores both offer a few Indian items. We recently tried Trader Joe’s Aloo Chaat Kati Pouches. We’ve never eaten aloo chaat or kati pouches before, so we can’t necessarily speak to whether they taste authentic, but we did enjoy them…
I love to drink tea, and I’m a sucker for holiday flavors. I like Celestial Seasonings Candy Cane Lane tea. I also like Aldi’s Benner Tea Co. Candy Cane Tea, which shows up sometimes as a holiday Special Buy (ALDI Find). Then, when I was recently at Aldi’s distant cousin’s store,…

EDITOR’S NOTE: To learn more about the relationship between Trader Joe’s and Aldi, click here. I have a problem. I’m vain and love to try new beauty products … but I’m also a cheapskate. I cringe when I read articles about the latest Must Have serum or cream that *only*…
