The two Aldi stores in Joplin are almost always crowded and I don’t enjoy shopping when there are so many people but the one in Pittsburg, KS hasn’t been as crowded when we go in there so I feel like I can check out new items without getting in other shoppers’ way.
We were there a couple of weeks ago and I got a package of chicken. It says “Panko Breaded Chicken Breast Tenderloin” and then, of course, it has other stuff added.
I don’t buy a lot of those pre-whatever type foods but I must have been hungry when we were in there. I figured it would be good for when Vince wanted something halfway decent and I wasn’t ready to cook. I actually had it on the menu for today because we had other things going on and I didn’t want to have the Cashew Chicken two days in a row but . . we had to eat something.
The chicken went into the air fryer, broccoli was steamed and I made hash brown potatoes with onions – real potatoes that I peeled and grated.
That chicken was delicious. We’ll be getting more of that. Highly recommend it for snacks or for a quick and easy meal.

I tried the Aldi breaded chicken breast filets you had recommended from the Brownwood store. We liked it pretty well, for a quick meal when cooking was not happening. Best way we had it was cut up on top of salad of whatever type I was making. I need to go by and get a couple more bags. Summer salads are our meal of choice.

I like their “red bag” chicken. It’s Buffalo style, if my memory serves me correctly. The green bag one is good, too.

If i go to the Aldi closest to my house (E. 20th) around 6 or anywhere thereafter on any given Sunday, it’s not crowded at all… Best time to shop IMHO! I’ve had the same experience at the other one on Maiden Lane on several Sunday evenings. 🙂 Ohhh! And i Love The red bag chicken! I cut it up on top of steamed vegetables with a little olive oil, salt and pepper.

By 6 p.m., even on a Sunday, for us to get to either Aldi, the traffic is crazy. We’ve learned to be out of Joplin by noon if we want to avoid crazy traffic.
