Anyone shop at Aldi? (It's coming to FL)
Comments (45)Well, I went to my first Aldi today! It was the one in Saint Cloud... I have a mail box there from when I used to live there so I stopped because I was in the area anyway doing errands. It was very clean! Of course it is brand new. I was a little overwhelmed and only spent about 15 minutes in there. The problem for me is that if I see junk food, I will buy it. If I buy it, I will eat it! So, at a regular grocery store, I COMPLETELY skip the cookies/crackers/chips aisles... I don't even look down them! At Alidi, junk and convenience food abounds! It is right in your face because the store is so small. It's in colorful packages at cheap prices, and it's very hard to resist buying! I managed to walk out with a ham for half the price I saw them for at Wal-mart and a gallon of moose tracks ice cream. I wanted to make split pea soup, and have been waiting for a better price on hams (20 bucks is jut too much for me to be OK with spending for one ham!). The young lady who checked me out at the register was friendly and fast. She was sitting on a stool... and had blond hair, half of which was spray painted pink! Certainly not your typical supermarket! I told a friend about Aldi, and he said he'd shop there just because they let their cashiers sit down! I caught myself wishing that some dominatrix had been standing at the door ready to apply manacles to me before crossing the threshold so I wouldn't have snagged any junk food during my Aldi endeavor. Alas, my self control was enough... after all, I only bought the ice cream for medicinal purposes. I woke up with a sore throat today (really I did!), and bought the ice cream solely to numb the pain....See MoreSpecial Deals At Aldi's
Comments (51)For those of you who have a problem with no shopping bags given at Aldi's, are you aware of the fact that you ARE paying for them at the regular grocery stores? I'm not sure about now, but the regular grocery stores used to take of about 5 cents per bag I brought of my own. Since all my tote bags disappeared a few years ago cause they got used for other things and not put back, I got out of the habit of taking my own bags, so I don't know if they will still take off for them. As to the quarter for the shopping cart, I think it's a great idea. I very seldom have a cart in the lot to worry about hitting my car. I don't like the paper products, except for the TP for use in the camper. I find them rather thin. The milk and eggs have been rather high priced lately. As with anywhere else, I have to read labels carefully due to my garlic allergy. (Which reminds me I need to email Vlassic, who doesn't have garlic on the ingredients list, ut has it in the pickles!) DH hasn't complained about the Salmon. I don't eat it, so I don't know. I buy my tomato paste there and canned mushrooms. Legos were a great price a couple of weeks before Christmas, but I didn't get there to get any before they were gone. Darn. Bought a LOT of Legos for DGS for Christmas! I seldom have a problem with thier produce, and it's usually a good price. Tami...See MoreDying Lemon/Lime and Olive Tree and Pittosporum General Questions
Comments (2)Hi, it's all learning. Don't give up. I don't know anything about olives, but it's reasonable to think some transplant shock there. Don't know how long they had been already in the ground, how much rootball you took etc. It might be the case, that they were always going to lose some leaves (as I say, dunno about olives). Some people "top" plants when they relocate them, some don't. for now I'd just let them be. I WOULD however move them into a shadier spot. No matter how much water, you've got heat on those pots and reflected heat from the fence. Give them a little time up a side path somewhere and see how they go. You might later decide to prune them back a bit if the tops die off. The citrus, if your sub-soil is clay, just won't like it too much. And fertilizing straight away might have been too much. What they HATE is root competition esp grass, so you need to decide whether you want a lawn there or citrus. You would be much better raising them up into mounds or make a little edging to keep that grass out. Give them time to settle, no more fertilizer for a while....See MoreNew(bee) questions
Comments (1)Yes, the bamboo tubes are reusable. Secondly, unless it's a spider hibernating, it's likely that the white fuzzy stuff is part of the dried fleshy interior of the bamboo itself. It's a bit like the pith from an orange... Leave everything alone; insects have an uncanny knack of being able to deal with their environment amazingly well. Now you've put the bamboo hibernator up - let nature take its course. Well done you for considering it....See MoreFunkyart
