Mama Cozzi is always a toss up. I never really care for the dough. This time the sauce is what turned me off. It also could have used a lot more cheese. I added pepperoni because I couldn't get the pepperoni one. Overall, better than most Mama Cozzi but I won't buy it again.

German here. I have seen some posts in this sub about Deutsche Küche and I am curious: which is your favorite dish from this brand? In Germany it’s not available. Products like Spätzle or Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte belong to other Aldi brands here in Germany.

There's like no quinoa. Disappointing. Wouldn't buy again. Flavor is meh.

I picked up a box of the Baker's Corner Hot Honey cornbread mix today, as it was marked down to 69 cents at my local store. I never buy cornbread mix, just because I tend to have all the ingredients for cornbread at home, but the price intrigued me and when I saw that it did not have lard like many other cornbread mixes tend to have, I was sold.

This box contained ~2.75 cups of dry mix and recommends mixing in 2 eggs, 6 tbsp of melted butter, and 3/4 cup of water. Instead of water, I used 1/4 cup of sour cream and 1/2 cup of half and half doctored with a big splash of bottled lime juice to approximate something like buttermilk. I also added a few shakes of garlic powder, 2oz of shredded gouda cheese, and 1 stalk's worth of green onion. I baked it in muffin liners for 16 minutes at 400°F, and they came out perfectly. Tastewise, they had a strong dried pepper smell, but they weren't overwhelmingly spicy. They were not as sweet as I expected, which I liked since it meant I could add a little drizzle of honey on top of the baked muffin. All the additional ingredients were Aldi ingredients btw.

Overall, pretty happy with the risk I took on this mix! At the current price, it was worth trying, but I probably won't buy more unless it gets marked down further. I've seen these drop to $0.19 in past seasons, so I guess people in my area aren't huge fans of these mixes. The other one being sold was the cinnamon churro cornbread mix, which I did not purchase.

Who was the graphic designer here?? Why do some of the shapes have ROUNDED EDGES? How am I supposed to teach about corners when the corners are rounded? I don’t think I even need to say anything about the numbers. The rest of the posters in the pack were fine, this was in the teaching section in the aisle of shame.

When I think of pizza soup, I picture the second photo. But I knew damn well what this bag was gonna be. For 19¢ I gave into my curiosity. I figured I would eat two bites then throw it away, but today I was missing a can of cream of chicken soup in my recipe - and I saw this hiding on the bottom shelf of my pantry. I'm so mad that my recipe turned out even better with this abomination 🤣 if anyone's looking for a way to use theirs up, give this a try:

2.5 lbs chicken breast

1 cup broth

1 box stuffing

1 can black beans, drained

1 bag of "soup"

Cook chicken on low with broth in slow cooker for three hours. Add in stuffing, beans, and soup. Cook for another 1-2 hours. Serve with chips or alongside a salad!

Strawberries were 99 cents at Aldi today. Thrilling! Utterly exhilarating! So I bought two.

Imagine my despair when I got home and realized they'd charged me $3.49 EACH. Seven dollars.

Because I accidentally bought the wretched organic strawberries.

Ugh. 😿

Excuse me while I go cry a little. (But I'll be eating strawberries while I do it.)

Found on clearance for fifty instead of seventy. I was buying large bags of ice for two dollars at the UGO. Yes, I know ice trays are cheaper.

$20 is a bit more than I would normally pay for an impulse buy, but I have been really happy with it so far! It melts the candle quickly and evenly, and I love the lantern design.

I hope this question isn't inappropriate and allowed on this subreddit but I am considering applying for a part-time retail role at Aldi and just saw an opening for a Part-Time Store Cashier/Stocker at a new store opening in my area of the Twin Cities, MN.

Not having any insight into how things work at Aldi, I was wondering if someone could explain what the expectations would be in terms of availability, hours, etc? I do see a mention in the job description that the ideal candidate would have to flex as a both a cashier AND stocker (with an expectation to be there at 5am to stock). Does that mean ALL of the shifts will start at 5am? Or does it differ based on store needs? Thanks in advance!!!

PS: Posting the responsibilities below for reference!

Cashier Responsibilities:

• Properly utilizes the point-of-sale (POS) system to accurately scan and process customer purchases and informs store management of scanning concerns or errors.
• Adheres to cash policies and procedures.
• Follows the line policy and opens additional check lanes as required to ensure an efficient checkout.
• Complete curbside pickup orders by accurately retrieving items from the store, verifying order contents, and ensuring timely delivery to customers’ vehicles from the staging area.

Stocker Responsibilities:

• Stocks shelves and displays neatly while following merchandising planograms to maximize sales.
• Stockers must be able to arrive to work as early as 5:00am.

They have a few cases mixed in with the regular version, first time I’ve seen it in 2 months so I grabbed about half the stock because who knows when it’ll be back 🤷🏼‍♀️

Just tried them, a little salty but otherwise very tasty! I also grabbed another variety that had a mix of different veggies, but I haven't tried that one yet.

Super Premium vanilla ice cream topped with crumbled peanut butter cup.

Today is the day

Does anyone understand where the carbs come from? Is it from the carrots, corn, sugar?? Minus, the Konjac noodles, I know they’re fiber-rich!

Curious how I can make it keto lol

EDIT: I know not all Konjac noodles are created equal. I’ve determined carbs contribute to the sauce largely, carrots, corn, sugars lurking. I’m not reaching for entirely keto but more carb conscious :)
Perhaps rinsing the package would help, and creating my own simple sauce!

That's it. That's the post.

These burritos have been so good when I find them in stock. I wish they carried them year round.

These taste great but where does the carb come from? What spice is 1 carb?

Was so pleased with it! Made a sauce-less version Pissaladiere-like with onions, anchovies & olives, mozzarella, feta & Parmesan. Loved the texture & taste! Hand-spread on cookie sheet. Baked in oven but house has outside pizza oven which we haven’t used yet but I’m inspired now! Glad I finally tried it!

I realize this cat tree is a bit small for regular size cats but it’s purrfectly Miso shaped and she’s happy to have something that’s just her size! It’s about 2.5’ to 3’ tall and the diameter of the flower is about 12”. We literally put it together in about 2 minutes, it was so easy. I like that it has sisal rope for her to scratch so she’s not tempted to scratch my couch…again. 😓 It fills my heart with joy to see her sitting in it. 😻

Has anyone tried this yet? I was so excited when I saw it that I bought two. But when I used it in my coffee creamer, I could barely taste anything. I put more in and even then, I could barely taste the flavor. I was pretty disappointed. Anyone else have that experience or am I just too used to sweeter coffee creamers?

I know Chobani recently made a similar flavor that is exclusive to Costco, but I don’t have a Costco near me. Is that one any better?
