I've been buying sliced brioche loves and buns at Mariano's, but they charge nearly $5.00 for a loaf or a pack of 6 buns. I usually only need a few buns before they start to stale, so the rest often go to waste. If I could save a few bucks, at least I wouldn't feel so bad about not using them up.

The expiration dates usually run 6-8 weeks from date of sale, which is remarkably long. Do either of these facts raise a red flag, or are these just a well-priced loss leader for Aldi?

We buy it once in a while. Ours only has fat free, 2% or whole, and we are usually buyers of 1 %. I'm not big on milk, but the Mrs says the Aldi brand is, "fine." (She is NOT a fan of the Meijer Organic milk, fwiw.) If you think the Aldi brand is cheap, and your household can handle a gallon, you might wanna check Jewel's house brand organic price. It's usually 5.99 gallon.

Curious, is the number of years aged specified on this cheese?toria wrote:If I have not said it before the Special Reserve Aged white cheddar in the black stick package is really good.

I wish I could just go to Mariano's and get a gallon of milk. Guarantee you I'd walk out with a gallon of milk, 2lbs of Todd's brisket, some flavor of "All Butter" cookie, and a 1/4# of pulled pork for the ride home.
Discount grocer Aldi will spend $1.6 billion to remodel and expand more than 1,300 of its 1,600 U.S. stores in the next few years, including making more room for fresh and organic produce, as well as dairy, bakery and meat sections, the retailer said Wednesday.

I haven't seen this during my last few visits. There's a transparent wrapped white cheddar 'aged over 18 months' that is not nearly as good as that Special Reserved black.toria wrote:If I have not said it before the Special Reserve Aged white cheddar in the black stick package is really good.

They said they've been buying fresh baguettes and croissants for a fraction of the price of their prepackaged counterparts.

The clash of the titans!
I check the prices at Walmart, I don't find them especially low. If they adjust their prices to Aldi levels, their customers will be paying less.
