I have an Aldi’s near me. They have great prices on their produce. Also nearby is Broward Meat & Fish Market which features T-Bone steaks at only $3.99 per pound.
Just read an article on Trader Joe’s, and they are owned by a branch of the same family that owns Aldi’s. Just a bit of trivia for the day :)
Aldi’s is my #1 for groceries and occasional special hardware purchases. Aldi’s prices are significantly lower than most area competitors. A gallon of milk, for example, is $2.17 at Aldi’s and $2.75 for the Walmart brand just across the highway. Avacadoes — $0.29 at Aldi’s; $1.09 at Walmart.
I used to use Sav-a-lot but new management raised prices ridiculously high — $3.99 for a head of lettuce that was $1.39 at local competitors.
I love good meats, but find it hard to pass up 3.99 a pound steals.
Get a good meat-slicer, and slice it paper-thin on an angle (easiest if it is a little frozen) and then stir-fry it with mongolian bar-b-q- sauce
Or cut it into half-inch cubes and simmer it for 2 or 3 hours in some campbells tomato soup (until soft) then toss in a can of corn and peas and canned potatoes and you got yourself a stew!
