December 15, 2008 by Tara Kuczykowski 14 Comments

Readers weigh in, please!

Many of you were excited to see that I’ve started featuring Aldi last week, so tell me what kind of items do you normally purchase there? I’ve only been there a handful of times, so I’m not sure if there are any special tips and tricks for shopping there. I’ve often noticed good prices on their produce, but I’m also a little picky about produce, so is theirs nice? I’d love to hear your comments!
