They have cheap produce too. Sometimes beats Aldi's prices. They have bulk bins too. I love to shop at both. You also get a credit of $.05 if you use your own bags at Sprouts.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13668768023557477491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4898864335802994573.post-91108346062470499592011-03-24T16:57:06.102-07:002011-03-24T16:57:06.102-07:00June, love the idea!!!

Keep trimming them and they will keep growing. They will finally give out and they get skinner but then I just buy another bunch and put them in the same pot.

We have never had any problems with the Aldi strawberries, but these are really great, they taste like strawberries are supposed to. I have been buying some at Publix, but they went bad too fast, and they did not have as great a taste as the ones we got from Aldi this week.J Rodneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15343780270541725148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4898864335802994573.post-55458890390092982522011-03-24T12:18:26.051-07:002011-03-24T12:18:26.051-07:00Amanda, hopefully you'll luck out next time yo...Amanda, hopefully you'll luck out next time you go.

I actually thought about planting them last time, but they went bad before I got around to it. I will definitely do this next time.

Love it! We had some great prices on produce, too (not $0.49 great, but still great!)! Our strawberries are at $0.99/lb., too...but, they weren't looking so good at my store today. I'm hoping they'll get a new shipment in before the end of the sale (& that I'll get a chance to stop in again). If so, I'm thinking I might buy some extras & freeze for making smoothies. :-)Donna @ Madison Coupon Connectionhttp://www.madisoncouponconnection.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4898864335802994573.post-7977368218993597212011-03-24T08:13:22.330-07:002011-03-24T08:13:22.330-07:00The trip I linked up was from last week, but i was...The trip I linked up was from last week, but i was mostly not sale prices. And it was last Tuesday right before the sale started so i didnt get any potatoes either, if they were even on sale here. <br /><br />i have some bottoms of green onions that i have not yet gotten into the ground...not sure if they will work anymore.

I use the tops and part of the white, but I plant the root end with about one inch of the white still left on the root in a pot of soil. I have green onions for weeks and weeks. I have read about putting the bottoms in water but I find planting them works better....they don't get slimy like they do in water<br /><br />JuneAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4898864335802994573.post-52248283103045845642011-03-24T05:12:42.295-07:002011-03-24T05:12:42.295-07:00Cheryl, I have never had any success either.

Elizabeth stopped yesterday on her way to church and I don't even know what all she got--but I did see my pineapple :-).<br /><br />On a side note, I have never had success with onion seeds--I always have to get sets. Any tips?Cheryl @ Simply Shoeboxeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06128246500106501585noreply@blogger.com
