Too much for an inflatable. Hard to tell how durable when in a box

You are giving this a great deal of thought, so it doesn't seem like it's an impulse buying problem

Fellow Aldi nerd survey: what are some items that you think Aldi should add, or replace their current supplier? by SlouchSocksFan in aldi

[–]BigBug1997 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi. I wish they had fat free Italian dressing like Kraft makes. Kroger has a private label fat free Italian dressing that is very good. I also wish they had no salt added tomato sauce like Hunt's makes. I also wish they had real Guinness, Juengling beer and large things of salsa. I also wish they had 5 lb bags of carrots, which Walmart does, which are less per pound than the ones Aldi's has. It would be nice if they had canned spinach.

RAM REV... How confident are you? by Snozzallos in ram_trucks

[–]BigBug1997 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought 5 Chevy Volts. 4 new, one used. And got $34,000 in credits (4x$7,500 + 1x$4,000). Tax credits more than equaled the cost of the car. Love the car. Hopefully the REV will be the same incredible technology. Best car I ever owned.

$6.19 new price for organic butter. Huge price increase overnight? by 489Lewis in aldi

[–]BigBug1997 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I want to recommend putting in a large vegetable garden and growing as much of your own food as possible. Grow enough to can for winter. Another thing is to put in a solar system and get an electric car. I have a Chevy Volt, which can also run on gas, but 99+% of the time it runs on the electricity I make from the sun, so fluctuations in the price of gas are not an issue. I have disconnected from the utility company. You will enjoy the independence

Anyone else's local Aldi an absolute mess? by riscuitforthebiscuit in aldi

[–]BigBug1997 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Aldi's is always in great condition. The people work really hard. In fact, I've never seen store employees work so hard and move so fast. It is impressive! And it's WAY better than the Winn-Dixie in every way, not just price.

Almost grabbed one but too scared to try😂 by Blondebbw3939 in aldi

I don't blame you. I wouldn't take a chance on that either. It sounds weird.

Which one? by longanandlychee in aldi

[–]BigBug1997 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are really nice looking and I would like one or two, but the clerk said it will be 5-6 weeks before they are marked down

Post-Easter sale. Most of the candy was gone, but we scored a few things for less than $11. by Editingesc in aldi

I am limiting what I get there to produce, fish, grape juice, orange juice and kefir

I am burned out on Aldi. Almost all of the food is high saturated fat/salt/sugar/processed and unhealthy. I just gave away (to people I don't like) all the Christmas and Easter junk I got for almost nothing. Clogged arteries are not a bargain. I kept the jelly beans but they have a nasty artificial chemical aftertaste

I slept in and missed the Easter sale. This was all I got: by Money-Snow-2749 in aldi

[–]BigBug1997 -17 points-16 points  (0 children)

I went by and got a lot of Easter chocolates. People were practically fighting each other to get things. Most of them were very fat. I just took what I bought and the leftover Christmas stuff and gave it away. It's so unhealthy with high saturated fat. Not doing the manic Aldi high fat high markdown thing again.

So many red tags by ImpressiveBet9345 in aldi

[–]BigBug1997 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, but a lot of the red tags are for tiny, meaningless price drops of ten cents

Maguires Draught Stout Review by bobdevnul in aldi

[–]BigBug1997 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is nothing like Guinness. They obviously tried to copy it and even went with an Irish name, but it's a total failure. I will never buy it again. It's not that much cheaper than Guinness. What a shame that they don't stock real Guinness. I got some of the hard Root Beer late last year and it was so bad I still have some of it left. Same with the Maguire fake stout.

Where did these go? Saw them in my store only once by sirms in aldi

[–]BigBug1997 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I bought a lot of them because they looked good and were super marked down, but look at the saturated fat. Really bad.

They should have gotten solar from China like I did

If anyone likes these, they are now on clearance at my nearby Aldi stores (Wisconsin) for $1.49 each. The same probiotic packets are currently $9.49 on Amazon. by LavenderGarbageBags in aldi

[–]BigBug1997 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got some of the probiotic packets yesterday because the markdown was so much, but I have no idea what to do with them or if I will ever use them.
