I am definitely going to visit this place to see there products and prices. I agree salvaged food would be an cost effective option but in-terms of health it is quite risky.

@The Dauphine Yes! Aldi and Trader Joe’s are owned by branches of the same family. Very similar style in that most of the products are house-brand, only Aldi is more “discount” oriented. But their stuff is pretty high quality (IMO). They have “special buys” every week that are sometimes brand-name goods.

I play that game with yogurt all the time!
I don’t think I would buy produce or milk products at a salvage store, but there’s lots of stuff I think would be fine — canned goods, JUNK FOOD.

@wallsdonotfall Everything. Aldi owns Trader Joes, so think Trader Joes but minus the obnoxious flavored popcorn snacks.

@AconyBelle Really? My new apartment is next to an Aldi but I’ve never gone there. What’s worth looking for there?

@AconyBelle My mom gets her German coffee there since she’s a coffee snob. She loves Aldis!

@DickensianCat

You’re still alive so it was totally okay!
Honestly, I’ve never had milk still around much past the sell-by date; I drink a lot of coffee and tea with milk. And organic milk always has a sell-by date of over a month away.

Not a salvage store, but I’m going to take this opportunity to give a shout-out to Aldi. I love you Aldi! Your body wash in cruelty free and your New York-style cheddar cheese is delicious!

@City_Dater a month and a half? My organic milk has lasted upwards of 4 months before…I mean I think it has? Is the rule, “if it still smells okay…” maybe that’s just my rule because I’m gross.

Buy organic milk. If you can’t consume it within the month and a half it takes to go bad, you probably shouldn’t bother having milk in the house at all.
