People who cook from scratch, but do take advantage of a good “blend” Everything including the UPC Code seems to be the same.
Exactly one year ago, I ordered a “year supply” (2 bags) and the price was $10.10 each ($1.48 per ounce) Today that same product (everything including the UPC Code is the same) is “offered” at $16.98 ($2.50 per ounce)
On a more positive note (and one those who know me may find interesting) This blend is a favorite because (a) it does not contain salt and (b) this is sort of shocking – unlike most “Italian” seasoning mixes – does not contain garlic.
The ingredients: Organic Herbs (Marjoram, Rosemary, Basil, Thyme, Savory, Oregano, Sage) are an excellent base for more nuanced mixes like a Greek/Mediterranean, Italian and a long list of other with the addition of one or two more flavors. TIPLET: Based on average “useage” I only keep enough for two weeks “on the counter” and the remainder is “on the freezer door”
What is your favorite – “why didn’t I think of this sooner” for food preservation: Mine is something I started as an experiment in my 20’s for “lunch box food”
Everyone knows about freezing everything from herbs to eggs to bits of left over meats in an ice cube tray for later use. And most have likely heard about using muffin trays then transferring to a zipper bag or air tight container.
And that does work EXCEPT sometimes the cubes still stick together.
I find the inexpensive cupcake/muffin papers in both sizes – filled no more than 3/4 but mostly 2/3 – when the food is frozen, just fold over the edges before placing in the bag – no more chunks/cubes stuck together
If I ruled the universe and clearly I Do NOT ! Instead of “No Sugar Added” a comprehensive line of “No Sweetener Added” would exist.
But then I am the one who enjoys Lemons and Limes (as in a past life before medication conflicts) grapefruit with adding sugar. Just peel & eat when in season
ALDI – TIPS – having shopped there for quite awhile before becoming mostly delivery dependent,
these tips are worth considering. And may be helpful for both Shopper & Customer. so file under “worth a read thru” My primary exception is the article says “shop on Wednesday” – seemingly based on where, in most areas, the weekly finds are first available. There are “shelved” in some areas for Sunday, making it a good day. It also means most “mark downs” are done on Thurs or Fri when to empty shelves for “new releases” on Sunday. https://www.goodhousekeeping.com/food-products/g39609469/top-aldi-shopping-tips/
