Consider Aldi for your Holiday Parties

 

Have you ever shopped at Aldi?  Although I had heard about Aldi, and we have two stores nearby, I had never ventured into one.  Some of my friends swear by their quality, prices, and unique way of doing business.  Aldi is a European based grocery chain and is sort of like shopping at one of the discount club stores only on a much smaller scale.

 

What kind of stuff does Aldi offer, you ask?  Well, it’s mostly packaged foods, with a small selection of fresh produce and refrigerated items.  They also have a fair amount of frozen foods for a smallish store. 

 

 

Cheeses are always a great addition to your food list when having a party.  How about some cheese for a cheese plate?  Some Aldi stores offer gourmet choices like Edam, Havarti, and Brie.   Aldi also carries a Specially Selected Smoked Gouda and a regular Gouda that would be wonderful paired with some fresh bread or crackers, crudité or cured meats.  They also have Goat Cheese, also known as Chevre, which would make a tasty dip or spread.  Pair any of these cheeses with Savoritz Pita Bite Crackers. 

 

Of course, you’ll want a beverage to ring in the New Year.  Aldi’s selection includes just about any type of beverage you could want.  You may want to choose a couple of their award-winning wines from around the world to go with your dinner or a liqueur for after dinner drinks or cocktails.  You can even pop a cork on a bottle of Brut sparkling wine.  Having a kid friendly celebration, or looking for something for the non-drinkers?  Aldi also offers Nature’s Nectar Sparkling Apple Cider or Sparkling Red Grape Juice Cocktail.
