I had to drive 30 miles each way to a Doctor's appointment today- ahh, the joys of small town life!
On a positive note, the doctor was in the same town as the Aldi Supermarket, so of course I couldn't help but take a gander ...and drop $60.
About $20 of the bill has spent on nuts to make spiced & salted nuts as gifts for the Holidays. Nuts aren't something I buy regularly, so I'm not certain the Aldi price was necessarily better than the grocery store, but I figured there was a good chance.
Anyone care to enlighten me?
16 oz Walnut meats: $3.99
16 oz Sea Salt Cashews: $3.99
16 oz Shelled walnut pieces: $2.69
6 oz Pecan halves: $2.69
8 oz Raw Almonds: $1.99
My most exciting purchase were 5 of these frozen 9-piece Sushi ensembles:
They caught my eye during my last visit, but were priced at $5.99 / box! However, today they were on sale for $0.99! I guess Sushi isn't popular with the rural clientèle! If I had room in the freezer, I would have bought more. I figured they would be a great alternative for days when I don't have leftovers for lunch or ever as an appetizer for dinner.
Sushi at $0.11 / piece! Why I love Aldi!

It's one of those things I'm going to have to learn how to make some day.

As to your question about nut prices, those are about normal for nuts that aren't on sale in my area.
