Asparagus! 2266On Thu 16 Mar 2006 01:59:21p, Thus Spake Zarathustra, or was it Mr Libido Incognito? Well, Alan, I finally found it... Cream of Asparagus Soup 1 pound 454...
I'm lucky to have five supermarkets within a mile from my house. Both of the Aldis near me are a bit of a hike, but one is on the way to my mom's house (I do laundry there every sunday morning), and the other is around the corner from my SIL. One of the close supermarkets has good prices in general, decent produce and meats, and their sales beat Aldi prices on a regular basis. I'm there every week anyhow, because my bank has a branch inside the store, and it's the closest place for me to deposit my paycheck. The two stores closest to me have better meats and produce but are about twice as expensive for those items as I'm willing to pay. One of them runs good sales, though, and the other has bulk spices and nuts, which saves money when I only need, say, a 1-4 cup of pine nuts, or need to refill my oregano shaker. Both of them are a ten-minute walk from my apartment, which is close enough even in the winter with a preschooler. The other two are reigonal chains that are nothing special in terms of quality or prices, but they have deals good enough for me to make a separate trip some weeks (like milk for 1.78 a gallon, or cheese for 2.00 a pound) Asparagus was on sale at a few different stores this week, (1.77-1.88 a pound) but I bought spinach instead.
