Long time no blog

It has been a long time since I last blogged. I have started a second job and that along with trying to graduate a senior this year has eaten up all my time. I thought I would catch you up. We are still going strong with Aldi. We have tried a few new things and have found them to be very good. We tried the garlic and cheese and garlic bread for a dinner one night and found it to be very tasty. We also tried their bowl of barbecue pork. Although it tasted good it has an interesting consistency that was not very appealing and I think had too much sauce in the pork. The kids would only eat it with their eyes closed! Kurt and I also went out one night for a meeting and left the kids with a "Hamburger Helper" box Aldi style. They used the Aldi brand of dinner for cheeseburger macaroni. Susan made it and said it was good but needed some more pasta so she added it. The frozen vegetables continue to be good and we are enjoying the milk products. There is no cheese I have had so far that is bad. Kurt is amazed at the cost of their flat round tortilla chips. Only $0.99! It is a great savings. they started carrying their brand of "Captain Crunch" so Kurt is trilled about that as well. Nothing like a sugary breakfast.

We are getting ready for open house here so will have some more reports. We are having ice cream sundae's and cookies for the menu so need to get lots of butter. The butter at Aldi is by far the cheapest I have found in town including Sam's. Enough for now will try to get a blog in tomorrow.

  1. Good to know about the butter. So, Kurt likes Cap'n Crunch? :)

  2. Courtney bought that same cereal and I completely concur with Kurt. I am quite the cereal connoisseur and snob and I must say, it was quite good for a knock off.
