Vince had to run to Home Depot this morning so he stopped by Aldi and United. Both now have limits on meat. United had ribeye steaks on sale but there was a limit of one package of two steaks. Vince said they hardly had any pork products, not a lot of beef but seemed to have plenty of chicken but I believe it all had limits.
United had pretty strawberries. Not sure if they were on sale but Vince knew I was wanting something to freeze dry so he bought some strawberries. Aldi did have them on sale but we haven’t been real happy with Aldi fruit and veggies so we don’t buy much of those from there.
I had enough to fill all four trays. If I had one more package, I would have filled the trays a bit more but I’m happy to have the four trays filled and the freeze dryer running again.
Once the strawberries are done, I’ll have eggs ready for the next freeze dryer load.

Yes, the strawberries were on sale at Aldi. I got some and blueberries too.

He got the strawberries at United. Our Aldi normally doesn’t have good fruit or veggies.

Aldi does everything so good, why are they challenge with fruits and veggies? We bought 2 avocados and they were awful. The outside, right under the skin, were mushy, but the rest of it was hard as a rock. French green beans were so tough and stringy that no matter how I cooked them, they were impossible to eat. So weird!

I have no idea but we don’t buy fruits, veggies or milk from there. Occasionally, we’ll get something like mushrooms on sale and it’s ok but we’ve been disappointed with so many of their veggies and fruits. Also, we don’t buy milk there. It never seems to last even til the expiration date.
Susan Nixon says
Our Aldi has great fruits and vegetables! They are always fresh and beautiful. Bananas are sometimes quite green, but otherwise, I’ve never thought about not buying something I wanted there. My milk also usually lasts longer than the exp. date. I buy 2%, though. I have noticed prices are up on a lot of things, though. I spent way too much when I was there last week.
Judy Laquidara says
We’ve shopped at other Aldi locations and never had problems but here, the fruit and veggies are consistently bad.
