Stopped at Aldi and the meat store this morning. (N MN) The meat store...always stellar, though their prices were up. I usually only shop the weekly specials. Their custom, on-site smoked and sliced bacon was 4.49/lb this week, so I got some for the freezer. Bulk breakfast or Italian sausage, 2.49/lb., porketta steaks, 2.49/lb. and country style pork ribs, 1.99/lb. Definitely a week to cook with pork again.
Aldi was a bit off. It's late in the week...have noticed that they used to start their ads (and restock) on Wednesdays, but lately have changed to Sunday like everyone else. Have to keep that in mind. Anyway, they had everything I was there for, but fruit and produce seemed down. One guy was looking for organic strawberries...well heck, there weren't
any strawberries as far as I could see. No skin off me...I'm flexible, but even in the canned goods, seemed like gaps. Definitely in the baking aisle with the mixes, and the cheese cooler was a bit sparse, though I found my latest, bestest favorite...wedges of white Stilton with blueberries. Yummm.
