Not your mother's Aldi?

I've been trying to cut grocery costs lately, so decided I'd give Aldi a try. I've not been to an Aldi in at least 10 years, probably more like 15. But, their ads come in the newspaper and I've noticed they seemed to have a lot of new stuff, so I decided to give them a try.

Holy cow, am I glad I did! They have become my new favorite store!

I'd been buying Fiber One bars for the last year because they are delicious and full of fiber. Well, Aldi has a Fiber Now bar that is 1/2 the price AND does not have hydrogenated oil, which Fiber One does! And they taste better, too.

Another example: DanActive nonfat yogurt with active cultures. Not only is Aldi's Fit and Active brand 1/2 the price for 6 oz more, it has more active cultures than the name brand! And it tastes fantastic.

Sure, they don't have some stuff like HoneyCrisp apples, rutabegas and parsnips, but for what I save, it's worth making 2 stops especially since it is only 2 blocks from Meijer.
