People That Complain About Food Prices

[Richie Allen]

I'm cracking up about how GRB is going wild for Aldi's.

Do they even have these in N. Illinois? What is weird is I don't think I have ever seen one, but realized last week that the industrial park I drive through has an Aldi's office/wharehouse or something. I never noticed that sign until last week because of this thread.

I think the US headquarters is based out of Batavia. I'm ashamed at how much I now know about Aldi.

No offense, but I hate the Aldi's by me, so count me out of the groundswell.

That would do it, because it's in Batavia that I pass it. So basically for 10 years I've been driving by their US headquarters and didn't even know it until this thread popped up.

So we just got back from Aldi's, and I was pleasantly surprised. I figured we wouldn't find much and didn't bother getting a cart. Well, we needed a cart. Tons of frozen food, cereal and some random things. This spaghetti sauce had better be good. I'm cooking tonight.

Did you get the cheaper of the two spaghetti sauces. We like the .99 cent one better than the $1.79 Grandessa. It didn't seem to have much flavor. The cheap one has a slightly sweet taste, which I know not all people like, but we do.

Aw, man, we "splurged" and went with the Grandessa Portobello Mushroom flavor. I'll try the other stuff out, as well. My girlfriend wants to go back next weekend now that we've got a better idea of what to expect. The store is quite a bit nicer than it was a few years ago.

So how was it?

No Aldi's in Boston...I am more of a Whole Foods/Trader Joes guy.

So how was it?

I can't complain. It wasn't great but wasn't bad either. Fried up some hamburger to toss in, and topped it with some parmesan we picked up at the same time. Pretty good for a quick meal.

Whenever I buy the store bought sauces (Ragu or whatever) I'll always brown some hamburger along w/ throwing in some fresh green peppers, mushrooms and onion in the sauce. It makes it taste so much better.

I buy good sauce (usually Zia's) and add 1.5-2 pounds of ground salsiccia or Italian sausage. Sprinkle some provel on top when served. So tasty. One jar of sauce, meat, and the noodles (I usually go with whole grain) runs about $7 total, and it feeds me well for 4 meals.

Actually, I normally don't buy actual Ragu brand but just one of the restaurant sauces that are in the store.

But yeah, when I cook something like that I'll be eating spagetti for awhile.
