I use Aldi for quite a few items that are budget priced offering great quality and value.
My choice at one time would have been the pork roll breakfast sausage for B&G but they have changed many suppliers and what is offered now is greasy tasteless trash.
My one item isnt even food. Its a 7.99 coffee conical burr grinder. I Thought for price worth a try but 3 years later its not trash in fact its a workhorse that wont die.
ill admit I am off for my annual wellness checkup the first with new Doc the old retired. Sweating out whether he will be a butt pirate. The old wasn't he left that for the professionals and tossed me the stool sample kit. [Reply]
Those of you who like the balsamic salad dressing like myself. Next time you're at Outback and get a salad and want something unique, ask for the 'tangy tomato' dressing. It's their own dressing made at the restaurant. They sell it for $5 for 8 oz, which I think is a little high. I looked it up online and it has a bunch of ingredients see below, so I'm not going to try, but last time I asked the waiter and he said, it's basically Catalina with a lot of pepper. It's a little hot, but very good.
Tangy Tomato Dressing Ingredients
2/3 cup of ketchup
1/4 cup of Catalina (or French) dressing
2/3 cup of sugar
2 tablespoons of olive oil
1/4 teaspoon of black pepper
1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon of onion powder
1/8 teaspoon of chili powder (this adds the spice so use a little less if you don’t want too much… or just omit)
1/8 teaspoon of thyme
Tangy Tomato Dressing Directions
Mix all of these ingredients together over a boiling stove for a couple of minutes.

Before, unless I wanted gyros I either had to;
1. buy them at a restaurant,
2. buy those overpriced Opaa 'kits' with the pita and tzatziki at regular supermarket
3. go to the special market on Watson [9 miles, one way] that sold specialized meats [now closed and razed].
4. go to the world market on Lindbergh [15 miles, one way] that sells all sorts of international foods.
Now I can get the pitas I want, and the feta I want, and make my own tzatziki, and just keep a bundle of gyro meat in the freezer to heat up whenever I want.
