The NEW real Germans don’t care. They get all their food for free thanks to Hans’ and Fritz’s tax dollars. You can’t expect a Somali or Afghan to feed themselves as they deficate all over your country.
We have a new Aldi’s just opened in our area 3-4 weeks ago. I’ve never been to one....I suppose I’ll check it out next week.
I bought an $.89 bag of salad at just about every week. Last Nov or Dec it went to $1.19. That’s when I had a new roof installed that I wasn’t planning on until this year.
They are playing with fire.
It’s not a bad place. The wife buys her wine there...half the price as at Sam’s Club. You have to be careful though. The brands they sell use packaging that is almost identical to the national brand products, so you could almost think you’re buying the national brand. Seriously though...we’re gonna start going there.
spam is good

we’ve been canning
Well, it serves the Germans right! They bought into all that silly green stuff, and shut down some of their power plants, so this is how the herd gets culled out.
Bought 20 lbs of Basmati at Bjs...It'll last a loooooog time.
I'm 78 too.
Here's where I take the dogs every morning for my exercise. That first picture is a cotton crop looking outside the park. The farmer rotates cotton, corn and peanuts.
My closest grocery store is 15 miles away.
Spam: Only in an emergency or if you’re in the Army! ;)
In all honesty, I LOVE it fried with eggs for breakfast and it’s half-way decent in a stir-fry. I like the Turkey variety.
It’s just salty, fat-laden goodness to keep you alive and ready to fight when the Zombies leave the cities and head out to the countryside.
*SMIRK*
I’ll keep working on him; I think a mini Jersey would serve both of our families well. ;)
Come on! How HARD can this be? I’m here ALL THE TIME, as it is! He’s the one that goes off hunting and fishing from Spring through Fall!
Is it too much to ask for a little bovine companionship? I think not! ;)
In another lifetime, I had three teen boys to feed, myself, my ex and his brother who was ALWAYS there for meals, 99% of the time. (It was cool; I liked him.)
Aldi, my garden and my flock of laying hens were the Saving Grace at the time to keep us all fed.
And, the boys KNEW not to TOUCH the ‘Aldi Quarter’ I kept in the car ashtray, no matter HOW tempting it was for arcade video games back then, LOL!
“We had friends in and … we opened a tin of Spam luncheon meat. We had some lettuce and tomatoes and peaches, so it was Spam and salad.” And Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev wrote in his autobiography, “Without Spam, we wouldn’t have been able to feed our army.”
LOL!
AMEN! I am vindicated! :)
+1 for the “Aldi Quarter”.
Just replaced mine today...
I'm going to Aldi's for the first time this Wednesday. What are you talking about with the quarter?
Aldis uses a lock on their shopping carts that you insert a quarter into to unlock it. Then after you’re done, you lock the cart back up, and it gives you your quarter back.
(Since it’s your first time: Be aware that Aldis doesn’t bag your groceries for you. They don’t even offer free shopping bags, although they usually have some you can buy. Best to bring your own bags.)
Good things to know ahead of time.
Also,
get ready for sticker shock in a good way.
Where I live, boneless, skinless chicken breasts at Costco are $3.99/lb.
At Aldi’s they’re $1.99 and $1.89 on sale.
And grass-fed hamburger (on sale) is $17.96 for 4-lb (in 3 “squares” of 1.33 lb each).
For produce, Aldis is cheaper than, or at most a couple of cents per pound more, than either Costco or Wal-Mart.
