you know what? Aldi's just can't be beat for all sorts of things. I will gladly carry bags and dig in my purse for that refundable quarter to shop at Aldi's. We haven't been in months but this thread reminds me it is time to load up the bags, make a big list and head to Aldi- about 30 miles away- for some really good food and even better buys.
I'd love to try an Aldi's also, I have heard about it before, but there doesn't seem to be any in California, or at least not in the Bay Area. Is it comparable to Trader Joe's?
Saltines for soup. But the Nabisco pretzel flips are far and away the best chip for any kind of dip or cheese. Both the regular pretzel and the the cheddar.

Aldi is a German company that shares ownership with Trader Joe's. Their operational principles (store brands, limited SKUs, lower prices, limited staff) is nearly identical. They have a LOT of common products and where these are identical, Aldi is nearly always less.
Trader Joe's is aimed at a consumer with higher disposable income; Aldi, toward the working class. I would say that Aldi has really improved their products and selection over the years.
BOTH have guarantees on ALL their products. That is, if you try it and you don't like it, bring it back and they WILL accept it. I have done it on a couple of items.
My choice in crackers depends on the cheese I'm putting on them.
Carr's Table Water Crackers with cracked pepper - eat with Creamy Havarti
Triscuits - with Port Wine Cheddar cheese spread
Sociables - with sharp cheddar sliced off a brick, preferably Cracker Barrel
Ritz - with canned spray cheese (it is a horrendous guilty pleasure, delicious and nauseating all at once somehow...)
And my son lives off of Cheez-its and "his cheesy fish" (goldfish of course.)

Not really it's not a health food store. It's cheaper than trader Joe's.
have you checked the sodium content of your favorite crackers? wow
16 triscuits-roasted red pepper and olive oil 200 mg or something crazy like that. hubs brought these home yesterday and there was so much salt i could barely swallow
I love triscuits even bare like their current ad campaign emphasizes but I find so many crackers like chips- hard to stop when you know you should
