Report on STL Aldi's $1.29/lb Rainier and Bing cherries:

Yes, they are prepackaged in 1lb styrene clear plastic containers.
Yes, they are DELICIOUS! (I'm eating some right now!) Plump, sweet,
juicy and everything I demand in a cherry.

What Aldi's ad did not state: limit 2lbs per customer! I was gonna get
3, but the checker let me know there was a 2lb per customer limit.

Market In The Loop was still at $3.49lb! At least that's what was
written on their chalkboard.
