For years, potatoes in America would have been hard to come by, if we didn't get so much of them from Canada.Never thought I would see the day in the U.S. that potatoes of all things were getting hard to come by.
I greatly appreciate that informative video. A store without whiners sounds good to me.
Good don't use Aldi!!! MORE FOR ME!!!!
I think they are pretty good myself At least where I live and staff is friendly and I think it’s a smart way with the quarters, you get it back and it save from hitting a cart that was left in parking lot. I like saving some money.I greatly appreciate that informative video. A store without whiners sounds good to me.
I sure wish I could store potatoes long-term here in GA as they described doing in Little House.
I wondered why mine kept sprouting / spoiling in my basement, whether I tried packing them in straw or in old shredded newspapers.
Found out that you need temps below 50-degrees for that long-term storage.
In Laura Ingall's Little House where they kept them in the attic through South Dakota winters--it was probably near-freezing--or at best in the 40's.
sigh.
My grandfather use to sprinkle lime on his potatoes in the cellar. It slowed down the sprouting but did not stop it.I keep mine in the basement and they last December through February. Just depends on the variety. It doesn't get below 65 degrees. I have found that Yukon Gold LASTS the longest.

Keep stocking food and other supplies you use daily.
Thanks for bringing this over. If I remember correctly, toward the end he's recommending everyone try to have a one year supply of food.View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wnsG9MFBNWc

Your lucky if you are not having shortages.
We are getting one too.My city is supposed to be getting an Aldi's, soon. I've been reading that their prices keep rising and quality keeps going down in the stores. I've never been to an Aldi's. What should I expect?
The Aldi thing..so funny. The first thing everybody must have heard by now is to bring a quarter for the cart, and in all of the bitching in the video, nobody seemed to get that the whole scheme is to get you to bring your cart back to the store and not leave it for an employee to have to waste time gathering.
The fact that so many people are brand-slaves is scary. Obviously advertising works on many more consumers than I had feared. Aldi quality is generally great. No need to be put off by their store brand. I don't buy fresh meat there, because my butcher shop and local regional grocery store are usually cheaper, but I always buy cheese and sausage/ham/lunch meat at Aldi.
It's not SO outlandish. They get a good experience from a brand, they aren't likely to deviate from that without a good reason.
