It's gonna take a lot to convince me that buying chicken breast for $1.50 a lb, eggs 50c a dozen, and basically any box of cereal for $1.25 is a bad thing.

I love Aldi. I find the vast majority of their products to be good quality. Their girl scout clones in particular might be even better than the originals, and they're 99c a box.

For anyone who is, like me, not American, this refers to a particular type of cookies.

Ha, whoops, I accidentally a word. That definitely changed the meaning a little bit.

I'm all for cheap produce and Aldi has some of the best around, but paying that little for animal products like meat or eggs seems ethically wrong to me.
