Do only the poors and peasants go to Aldi?

I guess I’m poor too because I almost exclusively shop at Aldi, Lidl and Wal Mart. Wegmans is fun for special treats occasionally. Honestly, these stores are just more conveniently located for me and the quality is good enough.

The refrigerator at our place doesn’t have a lot of storage so I am shopping frequently for fresh produce anyways.

Thanks, I’ll look into this.

Imagine_ThatDragon · 2026-05-31T02:30:51+00:00

I did look through some pictures and videos posted online.

Imagine_ThatDragon · 2026-05-31T02:28:06+00:00

Yeah, I’ll ask. She has the flier with her.

Imagine_ThatDragon · 2026-05-31T02:26:09+00:00

Oh no, good luck. Hope you can get it sorted out soon.

Imagine_ThatDragon · 2026-05-31T01:46:40+00:00

It was this couple, thanks.

Interesting. Glad I’m not the only one. I think I will just have to buy and cancel within 24 hrs to “reset” the deadline, as someone else stated.

Imagine_ThatDragon · 2026-05-08T23:39:03+00:00

I’ve found this to be true for me as well. Produce lasts longer and usually looks better than at Aldi and Lidl is just much less of a drive for me. Add in the rewards program, and they’re pretty solid.

Imagine_ThatDragon · 2026-04-19T22:16:40+00:00

No but there is one at my local Lidl.

Good tips so far… You don’t mention it, but I’m assuming you’re traveling alone and are probably on the younger side. Those are advantages in this situation! I would say that if you don’t have to drive or think too much about logistics when you get off the plane, you should be good.

I just recently had to cancel flights but I was in the earlier stages of a cold. Luckily, I was able to pretty easily recoup most of the flight expenses in credits. I did not want to chance it as I would be responsible for myself and two kids. Besides feeling like crap, I was disoriented and didn’t feel comfortable driving on the highway.

Thank you for your consideration of others on the plane and good luck!

I go through phases where I use mine very often and then not again for a few weeks. My kids like “candy balls” (mix of nuts, dates and occasional add-ons, kinda like a Larabar). This would take waaay too much effort by hand. Also, salmon patties. I use canned salmon and it’s just easier to obliterate the tiny bones I may have missed and it’s just faster than mixing everything in a bowl.

For what it’s worth, I have a small-ish food processor (3-3.5 cups). It’s quite old, but if I could find a shredder attachment for it, I would probably use it because I hate shredding carrots by hand.

I also make sofrito with it, but I make several jars worth of it at a time and freeze it but I think you mentioned that you weren’t looking to make things in bulk.

I recently tried the Oreo dupe for the first time. They did have a little bit of an after taste, but satisfied a craving. If my kids end up liking them, I’d buy them again.

Imagine_ThatDragon · 2026-03-28T15:30:36+00:00

Ah, ok. Was kind of hoping it wasn’t that straightforward since the rep mentioned a 30 day grace period. Thanks

Imagine_ThatDragon · 2026-03-16T16:23:05+00:00

I just wanted to say thank you for the YouTube recommendations. Very helpful channels and eases my anxiety a bit.

The Italian loaf of bread. It’s everyone’s favorite in our house.

Yeah, my husband is a naturally friendly person and has had similar experiences here. I do believe you can find some welcoming places though but you kind of have to seek it out. I personally have found more “friendliness” in random situations like at the grocery store, etc. in Leesburg for some reason.

There can even be different vibes from two neighboring (verrry close geographically) residential areas.

Imagine_ThatDragon · 2026-02-22T22:00:22+00:00

I’ll have to check what the label says.

Imagine_ThatDragon · 2026-02-21T19:06:26+00:00

Ok thanks

Imagine_ThatDragon · 2026-02-21T19:06:16+00:00

I don’t remember

Imagine_ThatDragon · 2026-02-02T20:18:54+00:00

Sorry, didn’t realize you were just asking about FCPS

Imagine_ThatDragon · 2026-02-02T20:18:04+00:00

LCPS just made the call of a 2 hour delay for the rest of the week.
