Did you like these chesses? Would you buy these cheeses again from
Aldi? My experience with Aldi is they're good for some things but not
so great for others. For example, I won't buy their liquid dish soap
again -- too watery. Their limited choice of produce is actually quite
good. I don't buy their meat products, though. I tried once and wasn't
a happy camper, so to speak. But, the frozen breaded/fried shimp is
darn right tasty the way Spouse bakes those. The personal skin care and
makeup products aren't shabby either

Sky, who likes Aldi!
