Aldi Food Stores in Pittsburgh, PA

Best Choice Hickory Smoked Kielbasa Sausage

Diamond Crystal Popcorn and Nut Salt

Marie Callender’s Country Fried Pork Chop

So, when I recently discovered Tai …

OKF COCO Natural Coconut Water
Personally I’ve never really been interested in the OKF products. I’ve seen quite a lot of different juices made by this brand but the packaging always discouraged me because it looked cheap or expired. I’ve seen these products in both supermarkets and local stores so I don’t believe that …

Breyers Extremely Creamy Vanilla
Breyers Extremely Creamy Vanilla is really not all that bad, but I honestly have had much better vanilla ice cream before. While this variety offers what I consider to be a mildly pleasant vanilla flavor, it does not excite my taste buds in such a way that my eyes …
