I don’t know why you’re calling me out here. I almost never buy frozen pizza and if I did I certainly wouldn’t buy those. 
Bc you thought the frozen grilled cheese was a great idea? Why not grilled cheese pizza?

I didn’t say frozen grilled cheese is a “great idea.” I said I could see its use case. I don’t really care about grilled cheese. But I do care about pizza and I have no clue what the actual f “grilled cheese pizza” even means. It sounds like something invented by your obviously perpetually stoned chef buddy at that local restaurant you like to post the menus for.
Not nearly inventive enough. I’m already looking forward to their Easter creations

So earlier this week I mentioned that the carnitas are usually pretty good, although this last batch was unpleasantly fatty – big chunks of fat swimming in the greasy sauce. I’ll try it again another time in the hopes that this was a bad batch.
The cilantro-lime rice is a dud. Mushy rice and muddy flavors. Won’t be repeating that one (and the rest of it will likely end up in the compost pile)
Also tried Mongolian beef stir-fry noodles (I’ve been outside playing in my garden most nights this week, so dinners have been fast and easy) This one was actually pretty tasty. I added a double handful of frozen stir-fry veggies (because veggies) – it was actually better the second day!
The salad kits are generally as good as the national brands, and significantly cheaper, although the selection isn’t as wide.

I’ve had better ‘luck’ with salad packs from Aldi with regard to spoilage/sliminess already started when you first open it than from any other store. Used to get tastier cilantro in the small cellophane packs at Aldi than any other store - including Indo-Pak groceries. Most other offerings of cilantro are not wrapped up in cello or plastic, FWIW. I’ve bought it once in the last 3 visits after years of never going to Aldi and it was as bland as everybody else’s cilantro.
I have’t picked up any of the salad packs or baby spinach so far.

NAY I guess on the fact that at some point Aldi shrunk their Dakota Pride beans (at least the black beans) from 15.5 ounces to 15 ounces. I know everyone’s doing it and all that, but it doesn’t mean I have to like it.

Found the Guinness chips and the reuben chips todday. The Guinness are good, but I would never identify them as Guinness.
The Reuben are a salt bomb but oh so tasty.
Also…small pots of chicken salad…traditional and cranberry-pecan…are now a staple in my fridge.

I agree that they don’t taste like Guinness, but I dig the malty flavor.

Kinda torn about the wild caught gulf shrimp. Very nice, clean flavor, but I prefer the snappier, plumper black tiger shrimp, even if they are more expensive.
So, YAY for thems that don’t mind the texture.
Ooh I’m glad they have these - knockoff Spindrift.

I can’t stand non-sugar sweeteners of any kind, so these are a nice find. Not too sweet, and no ofd tastes from other sweeteners.

Same here. Except I can tolerate monkfruit in small doses. Have you tried it? Not mixed with erythritol (that stuff is toxic).
I can deal with it if I have to, but i never order sugar free anything if I can avoid it. Everything tastes off and/or bitter.
Stevia made me pour a cup of coffee down the drain. It takes a lot to make coffee undrinkable foe me.
Agree. Can’t stand it. Oddly, my kid likes it fine and he’s a supertaster.

When we were in Greece in 2017, we heard an announcement about “green Coke”, which turned out to mean not ecologically sound Coke, or Coke that was green in color, but rather Coke using Stevia (which came in the green packets, rather than the white, pink, yellow, or blue ones).
So this is a sweetened, fruit-flavored, carbonated water drink?
Aren’t most sodas?
