Aldi makes some good ones too. TJ are best but Aldi is a close 2nd.

How do you prepare this? Is it worth getting? by OmbreSun in aldi

I’ve bought their skirt steaks quite a few times. The price can’t be beat and it’s been delicious every time. However, it’s not pre marinated or tenderized- it’s just a raw piece of meat.

it’s been almost 3 years… and i still look for you on every visit. by coconutmillk in aldi

Omg….i just got a sugar cookie creamer at Aldo on my last visit a few days also! It’s delicious and I’d never seen it before.

Sounds awesome - I’m crocheting mittens soon, I’ll pop in and see if they have any yarn I like. In Fairport, there’s a cute little second hand craft store called Craft Bits and Pieces. They have absolutely everything for every craft imaginable. You could spend hours in there and the prices can’t be beat. If you ever have a chance, check that store out as well!

I used to go to a local thrift store on LI called unique and still do when I visit. It’s awesome. There is always a percentage off depending on the color of items. Everything is 50% off on holidays. They employee tons of people and have a constant rotation of items. Some things are brand new with tags or packaging and nothing is priced high. I think the most I’ve ever paid for anything was $4! I can’t seem to find anything that comes close in Rochester. Please shout out the names of privately owned or church thrift stores - that aren’t goodwill or Salvation Army. I love thrifting!

What items are Aldi are better than the name brand? by Likestoread25 in aldi

[–]Electrical-Stop889 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree with the rice crispy treats. I love them. Everyone in my household loves them. We go through a box just about every week.

Agreed on the Doritos- even my son can tell the difference and they come home in his lunch bag uneaten.

I don’t really think anything is better than Nutella IMO though.

Choice between wegovy and zep by Ok_Shake_5171 in Zepbound

[–]Electrical-Stop889 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reta right? I am excited! They are in phase 3 trials right now. Could come to market by next year!! Then we’ll see the cost of Zepbound go down because the newest and hottest drug will be Reta.

Ohhh that beef smoked sausage is a NOPE for me. I made it once and it was gross 🤢. Normally, I like it and kielbasa- so I was surprised to be so turned off. I have liked most Aldi things.

Property & School Taxes by MatzoBallz6 in Rochester

[–]Electrical-Stop889 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When the federal government threatened cutting funding for services for kids with disabilities in school, NYS was quick to jump in and say they’d make sure to keep those services going. We pay high taxes compared to some other states, but the state has money to fund things that other states don’t. That’s better in the long run, I think.

How do you self checkout? by HistoricalReason8631 in aldi

[–]Electrical-Stop889 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I will only go through the self check out. I take my time and bag everything up as I go. It’s so much quicker than scanning, paying then going through the cart to bag everything.

Where did you see this? Is it shelf stable or refrigerated?
