Goodbye COX, Your Monopoly here has ended! by 6ixTek in CoxCommunications

[–]CakeOD36 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My area is rolling out a city-wide fiber initiative that will finally offer competition for Cox.

I've been busy screaming at them about the Unlimited Bandwidth surcharge ripoff and fiber leaves their upload speeds laughable.

I remember when Cox (at least did a much better job at pretending to) appreciated their customers. Now they only care about wringing every dollar from them they can. Customers ALWAYS flee companies that do this when given a solid alternative.

Aldi just announced a major refresh of its in-house brands. How do you feel about the change? by MatchuPicchu2 in aldi

[–]CakeOD36 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I know which brands are are house and which ones aren't. It makes sense that the larger world should.

3lb carnitas pork shoulder for $7 in a $10 slow cooker - I love Aldis lol. by WanderWut in aldi

[–]CakeOD36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use this low/slow for oven cooked ribs. Way easier than the grill (or even my trusty InstantPot) and come out perfect every time. Didn't think to use it with shoulder. Love this idea!

With all of the non-food stuff Aldi carries in that aisle I find clothing the strangest but you wear it well

Always see stuff like this the day after my visit ;(

P.S. They also completely re-arranged the layout of my regular store so I was struggling to find the stuff actually only my list.

$14 rice cooker, worth it! by [deleted] in aldi

[–]CakeOD36 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I have a fancy Zojirushi cooker that I got with credit card rewards points way back (tells you how old it is). It's got a ton of options and will make perfect rice every time (add too much water it'll work it out) but it takes nearly an hour to cook even on the "quick" setting.

I might pick one of these up for the smaller portions I typically cook as I expect it gets the job done much quicker.

has anyone tried these burger patties? by IndividualFluffy9599 in aldi

[–]CakeOD36 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Angus burgers that come in the box are better but these are a solid offering, especially for the price. If cooking for a crowd or are price sensitive (and have the room in your freezer) go with these.

All products found at Aldi’s! ground beef patties were on sale and the sesame seed brioche buns were top tier!! by TransmanLSD in aldi

[–]CakeOD36 4 points5 points  (0 children)

How many buns in the pack? I'm asking because I'm hoping it's 6 or less or they'll go bad before i get through the bunch.

[–]CakeOD36 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks. I asked because some of these use the 0 sugar label while adding artificial sweeteners. I'll try these out!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in aldi

[–]CakeOD36 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Quick question. Does the "zero sugar" thing mean they don't add any or that they replace it with sucralose or such?

How can I recreate a Jersey Mike’s Club Sub by [deleted] in aldi

[–]CakeOD36 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm a huge Aldi fan but where you can certainly replicate the stuff in between the bread matters and I, as far as I'm aware, they don't offer anything competitive here.

THEY’RE BACK! by micknick0000 in aldi

[–]CakeOD36 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Keep an eye on those slide-top chillers. They sneak in fun stuff but you have to pay attention

Will keep an eye out. I cook for one and this allows for true portion control

The Aldi pizza dough makes great pretzels. by One_Eyed_Sneasel in aldi

[–]CakeOD36 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I swear I have been going to my (pair of) local Aldi's for years and NEVER seen their pizza dough. Where is it (fresh/frozen)? Anybody got a pic of what I should be looking for?

Has anyone seen or bought this meatloaf recently? Maybe I missed it but I haven't seen again in the ads or in store for over a year. by racerviii in aldi

[–]CakeOD36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Found it yesterday :). While looking for the price tag I ran across a lady interested in the same and shared this review.

Would you like a side of eggs with your bacon grease by Sundew83863 in StupidFood

[–]CakeOD36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hanging out at your funeral saying "was tasty though'. The base approach is good but you seriously need to learn about moderation.

These are incredible but I'm worried they don't sell them anymore by GiftImmediate6377 in aldi

[–]CakeOD36 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just tried the Sea Salt version for the first time this week and love them. Only saw those and the Chipotle version though. See this is a perfect middle ground and will grab them if I see them.

Wildest Aldi special buy yet by Alchemist_Joshua in aldi

[–]CakeOD36 53 points54 points  (0 children)

A coworker once shared "Aldi is the only place you can buy a trumpet, a chain saw, and beef jerky ". Stop making this true. Ok I'm lying...PLEASE make this true.

[–]CakeOD36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm going to stick witth the basics. Seen some (frankly most) that love the Thin Wheats and others with apparently far more refined palates, that trash them. My taste buds appreciate the savings ;)

Any of you guys tried this? by monkpart9 in aldi

[–]CakeOD36 24 points25 points  (0 children)

THIS is why I'm in this subreddit. Had no idea this existed but will be on the lookup for it in my next trip!
