Well I did it I finally got up and dressed and went to the new Aldi's down the road. Not the biggest store in the world but a nice size.


I remembered from the last time 10 years or so ago we needed at least one quarter. So I took my coupons and a couple of quarters and we headed down the

Mary Ann, your description of the trip to Aldi made me laugh!! I hate it when I don't know the "rules" of a particular store. Sounds like you had a good day overall though!!

Take care,
Anne

OOOHHHH....So YOU'RE the one everyone waiting on that line was cussing under their breath...was wondering who that was holding up that line so long-boy oh boy-some people! ;0)


Seriously though-I've never been in an Aldi's-I am moving in about a month and a half-and there is one really close to where I am moving to.

I was introduced to Aldi's for the first time about 8 years ago.

Girl, you crack me up. I'm sure it wasn't funny at the moment. However, you and Raymond could sure have a good laugh now. I could just picture you whispering the pin number, him not listening and then you just yelling it out to him. That is just a typical man. LOL

Your fun with the pin number reminds me of an incident I had years ago when i was recovering from a broken leg.

Mary Ann, do you sew? If you do, you can download a pattern for a fantastic grocery bag for free that you can sew up from www.burdastyle.com If you are interested you go to the website, and search for "Charlie", select the link under "patterns" and it will take you right to where you can see what the bag looks like, and you can download the pattern in pdf format. You have to match up the pieces and stick them together, but it is a great pattern, I really like it. You should also make sure your printer setting is set to "A4"...you just go into your printer set up, it is probably under "properties"

You do have to sign up for a free membership to download patterns, but I haven't gotten any emails or anything to make me regret signing up.

I bought 5 bags last night for 15.50 I do sew. Used to love it but I have trouble sewing in this house. There is no where to put anything. So the machine is boxed up in the closet

Thanks for the information
Mary Ann
