My closest Aldi is 25 minutes away. In fact, there are two, in different directions, both 25 minutes away. The one south of me I went to, and hated it. Wondered what the big deal was.
I have since heard that the one east of me is much better. My only problem is that these days, I don’t go much further than the Costco which is 20 minutes away, before I get as far as the Aldi store. I still tell myself I need to give it a try. Get the other one out of my mind. Go in with an open mind. I really should try them, and sooner rather than later. Though perhaps not this week until the winter storm is behind us.
The snow arrived a few hours ago, and has been slow and steady. I don’t know if we’ll end up with 3” or a foot. It would be nice if the forecasters were all closer to each either. Who do I trust, and someone tell me, why should I?
My complaint about Aldi’s and Trader Joes are that so many of products use Canola oil and HFCS and that is how they keep the prices low.
(Good to avoid most seed oils—soy, safflower, corn— in any case.)
Winter storms can be really hard to predict, as a slight shift in the track can make a huge difference in where (and what type) heavy precipitation falls. We may not get 1/2 our predicted snow totals, but, the area just north of us that was expected to get half ther snow that we were expected to get looks like it will get considerably MORE snow than what was predicted for us. We, OTOH, are getting much heavier sleet than was predicted for us..
