Product Review: Crofton Enameled Cast Iron (Dutch Oven and Braiser)

I've managed to chip the enamel off the handles while putting them away or cleaning, but that hasn't impacted their use. For those deciding whether or not to purchase, please remember that Aldi has a really good return policy. If you open it and it is not as expected, then they will gladly refund or replace. Original 2016 post below.

I bought my new mattress at a grocery store and I LOVE IT! My last mattress was a pillow-top Englander mattress that my parents bought me as a college graduation present to help me furnish my first apartment. My husband and I have slept on that thing for 12 years and we had flipped it, rotated it, and flipped it again trying to postpone what I was sure was going to be a $1000 purchase to get a mattress we could agree on. So when I was reading that ALDI was going to offer a 10" memory foam for $199.99, we did a little research and decided to jump at it. At that price, we figured it would only have to last a year or two to fee

If you are in need of some shade, and want a great deal on an amazing pergola, then Aldi has come through again! I purchased mine last summer after complaining too often about not having shade to enjoy my coffee on the deck in the summertime....rough life of a teacher! $149.99 this week at Aldi.
