Chocolate Brioche, Sim's Turkeysticks, good price on veggies, fruit, cheese and eggs. Clancy's are an excellent product, wine a good price. Love Aldi's.

Clancy's pretzel sticks. Chips aren't bad either.

Cream Cheese - great price

Various types of block cheeses.

Milk at a great price.

And normally - eggs at a super great price.
Clancy's and Publix chips are the same product. Went to a factory tour at Golden flake in Ocala. Watched how they made potato chips and when it came down to bagging the product they were filling Clancy's and Publix at the same time off the same conveyor belt

did you see how they stack Pringles? Sounds like a pretty boring job.

I like all of the German foods. Deutche Kuchen sauerkraut, braunschweiger, soups, especially the Harvest vegetable. They used to have the Neurenberg sausages but have not seen them in awhile. Almost all of the Clancy products, basic canned goods like tomato sauce and canned tomato products. Lots of good things. Buy one of something and try it. It’s inexpensive and not a huge loss is you don’t. I don’t go there often, but when I need staples, it’s a good source. Oh, also the baking supplies and especially the nuts at Christmas. It will save you a bundle.

I was told to put every 10th one upside down and make a little tent out of them...so there weren't as many in a can.

I quit though, when they tried to give me two cans (the ones that had the upside down chips in them)...as my Christmas bonus.

Hope it's not the $5 Salmon. It was terrible. Made it for my parents, boy was I embarrassed!

It might be. Sea Queen wild caught Pink Salmon fillets. If it's terrible I'll return it.
I bought a bag at walmart that looks like this one. The defrosted fish was mushy when I pan fried it. Steaming turned out pretty good.
I just read the directions---Each piece is in it's own little vacuum bag. I was supposed to defrost it out side of the bag.

I've not have good luck with frozen fish. No matter the kind or the defrosting method, it all tastes watery to me. Shrimp, however, is a different kettle of fish.

That's discouraging. Today I will pan fry one piece and put the other in a toaster oven and see what happens.

I agree. I've never had good results with any frozen fish. No matter where I bought it.

Could just be me. I can tell at a restaurant if the fish has been frozen. In Michigan, our fishermen friends would give us fish they caught and froze. The Michigan method was to freeze the fish pieces in a bag of water. That could be where I first learned to dislike frozen fish.
