Aldi has good stuff. My wife and I are 70. For a time we were using shopping and delivery services and getting groceries from Schnuck’s, Meier, and Target, but the people they were using to actually deliver groceries were, for the most part, the bottom of the barrel. One delivery person shopped and delivered our order and literally two thirds of the order weren’t on the list.
Another time our groceries smelled like gasoline, because the delivery guy had our groceries next to a can of gasoline in his trunk.
I will go buy our groceries myself. I need the excercise anyway.
What a great combination-Rice Krispy Treat ice cream sandwiches! We have to try that.
I still remember the words to the Fluff advertising jingle with instructions on how to make a "Fluffernutter"
Anyone who has SNAP gets delivery half price...$50/Yr.
Gosh - I lived on breakfasts of cold cereal, Pop Tarts and toast with butter and a cinnamon-sugar mix sprinkles on top.
We has farina or oatmeal
I absolutely loved Team flakes.
They're all made with the same garbage. They just look different as a marketing strategy to make you think you have options.
Its all garbage and we all know it, but it testes good even if you feel like you need an insulin shot after you eat it..
You’ve never eaten Fluff? You must not be from New England. It is a spread you put on sandwiches that tastes like marshmallows and looks like spreadable marshmallows. You can also put it on desserts and cookies.
Kids like sandwiches made with Fluff and peanut butter. They’re called a Fluffernutter. Some think it’s the greatest invention ever made in Massachusetts since basketball. Others have wanted it banned from school lunchrooms. There has been proposed legislation pro and con.
(I prefer pecans, though…)
In the old days, when the proprietor ran the ship - in a manner of speaking re how a restaurant was run . . .
There was a Frisch’s Big Boy Restaurant in the Detroit area, that had centrally-located within the restaurant, a large old-fashioned fireplace with a very large, deep, thick ceramic pot, about 28 inches in diameter.
In that pot, every day, early in the day, a member of the organization would build up a lot oatmeal, some butter, some sugar, and water, and a bit of milk . . . and let that cook.
When, in the winter, we would gather there for lunch, I chose the oatemeal. It was wonderful. Radiant heat, warmth, comfort, and only a few minutes from the workplace. We had a lot of fun that winter.

Grew up on Life cereal, still eat it everyday sixty years later. I liked it before Mikey did.
Real maple syrup is the best. It’s one of the few things we indulge in to get the real thing.
My dad said he ate plain oatmeal for breakfast, but later when he made money, he said he could get it with cream. “That made all the difference.”
