she was looking for some fruit to steal… or not, as the case may be. You are looking at $6.31 worth of fruit. For .20 more a pound you can get Chiquita bananas at Jewel.
Why did I hit Aldi in the first place? I had read on other boards that they had really decent, fresh and tasty fruit for cheap. ha I say, ha squared. Each piece of fruit was .49. Back at Jewel I can pay with my RRs; Aldi expects the green stuff.
and Aldi’s produce is always kinda sketchy at best. Every time I’ve looked at their broccoli, I can’t tell if it’s rubbery toy broccoli or actually meant to be eaten.
No grapes for you? Cheaper than Jewel and Dom. Strawberries is not a bad price either $1.99 comparing with $2.99? at other places.
Actually, Jewel had a better deal on the grapes (although it might have only been my store). Maybe ’cause I had looked at Aldi’s last week’s ad and the peaches, etc. were all .29 – now they’ve jumped up to .49? And how is this an everyday, stock-up price then? Sounds like they’re running sales just like every other store. Sorry, but that was my Aldi excursion for the next year or so.
It must be your Jewel only. The two stores near me are on sale for $1.28/lb. Not a bad deal but Aldi is $1.58 for 2 lbs.
I went too! It was next door to Staples and we were getting back to school stuff. I haven’t bought fruit there before, but it looked decent. Prices were not bad, but I don’t have the Jewel luxury stores around me. I haven’t actually ventured over to meat. Anyone try that???
Strawberries are where it’s at at Aldi. $1 all summer long. Are 40% of the packages molded/rotted in a few places? Yes. But that leaves 60% of them fine! Besides, mold isn’t like mold on most things, it’s just topical, you can wash it off.
Because if you don’t get to them immediately, the mold will spread through the entire clamshell and then even your buck will be tossed. Sometimes I buy stuff planning for immediate use, but life intervenes.
