Made these bird feeders. Mix sunflower seeds and cheap peanut butter. Nut hatches, chickadees and woodpeckers love it

I thought the same thing but recently started shopping there again after giving them another chance. I have been surprised, their produce is actually pretty good and just getting small staple items has been fine. Cant get everything there but it serves a purpose. Especially with other stores charging so much for some things now days.

never been in that one but did hear that a long time ago about that store...   

[smurfy]

 i've heard that of Aldis that some of there products arent too bad.  if i remember right i dont think they carry much for name brand stuff, its off brand names and generic.  i've been burnt more often then not on generic non brand name stuff.....in particular flavor........so i'm hesitant. and since my wife does 99% of the shopping, she doesnt wanna go there.

 

our best luck with friuts and veggies is Costco.........i eat alot of it and never had a bad thing from there. there pineapples, even there oranges are always bigger and really good!

 right by the dollar and a quarter store!!!!

Hmmm, what's the topic here, birds everywhere or where you go to buy cheap stuff! I think a picture of some Redpolls would fit well with you rednecks! 

 

 

Just joking with ya, don't get upset!
