Aldi is legendary when it comes to great prices on groceries, but the store is also known for something else: the cart system. If you have ever been to an Aldi, you are aware that this German supermarket chain follows the European system when it comes to their carts. There is a lock attached to the handlebar of each cart, and you need to insert a quarter into the slot to release the lock. Once you are done with your shopping, simply return the cart to the corral at the front of the store, insert the chain from the cart in front of yours, and the quarter is released back to you. The system keeps the parking lot tidy and is one of the many ways the store keeps costs down, as they don’t have to hire extra staff to collect grocery carts.

Turns Out You Don’t Need a Quarter for Aldi’s Shopping Carts If You Have This Instead

Some mornings you have the time to whip up a tasty breakfast, maybe an omelet or even smashed avocado on toast. But other mornings can happen in a rush, and without much time to spare, having breakfast items ready to grab-and-go is key if you’re having a hectic start to your day. Trader Joe’s completely understands, which is why the store just dropped a new breakfast item at a jaw-dropping low price: trail mix bars!

The company’s decades-old philosophy remains familiar to Aldi shoppers today: stock high-quality goods at low (and I mean, low) prices in a super-efficient, no-frills environment. To do this, the discount grocer does just about everything a little differently — all in the name of keeping prices down.

I’ve been in an organizational groove for a while now. Tackling closet clutter, turning an awkward pantry into functional space, and making surfaces sparkle (instead of overwhelmed with stuff) has been my jam lately. But there’s been one category in my home that’s consistently eluded me: kitchen bakeware.

As an Indian-vegetarian, I have fond memories of Indo-Chinese gobi manchurian at community potlucks, rare plates of aloo gobi (when my South Indian Mother would serve North Indian food), and snacking on raw florets dipped in Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing with my dad. Since then, I’ve given up cauliflower. Not because I wanted to. You see, I have a chronic GI illness and the unsuspecting cruciferous vegetable has a rather rude ability to land me in the hospital.

There’s almost nothing nicer than a pint of fresh blueberries. You can bake them into a crumble, fold them into a coffee cake, or go big and make a classic blueberry pie. Or you could skip all that and do what I most often do, which is just eat the whole container standing up in the kitchen before the berries ever hit the fridge. No matter how you choose to enjoy your berries, they need to be washed before they’re enjoyed. Here’s the best way to do it.

When it comes to corn chips, Fritos reign supreme — and it’s easy to see why they’ve garnered a massive fan base for decades. They’re far thicker and sturdier than many tortilla chips with a satisfying crunch that rivals even the best kettle chips. Fritos Scoops are the ultimate vessel for dips, and the Honey BBQ Flavor Twists are a must-buy snack at the gas station. They are also a beloved topper on chili or the base for a hearty dinner in the classic frito pie. While I don’t have them often, I will absolutely snack on them if they’re around.

How can Astrology tell you about your worst friends? Astrology is the concept of using the placement of the planets and their related astrological signs, or the Signs of the Zodiac, to determine the course of a life. These placements based on your birth date, time, and location can give you a wealth of information about your personality traits and character and predict events throughout your life based on your sign and current placements.

I’ve eaten in Paris brasseries and Roman trattorias, but the meals I really dream about are pretty much all from a trip I took all across Japan. Perhaps it was all the raw fish, the winding grilled meat alleys, or the beauty that is Japanese breakfast — I knew from the first bites of each that I’d be slightly haunted (in a good way) by all the tastes I’d uncovered.

I’ll be the first to admit that my dogs are lovingly spoiled. They have extra cozy beds, multiple blankets, stylish bowls, and a seemingly endless supply of treats I’m happy to reward them with — in moderation, of course. As a shopping editor, a fun part of my job is testing out a variety of products for the home from kitchen tools to appliances. However, I also really love when my pets get to try out products, too! I have two dogs at home who have a ton of energy to go along with all of their stuff, and they’re instantly interested as soon as they hear a box opening or a crinkling wrapper.
