Green sauce turkey, red sauce pork/venison. Spicy enough to make my nose run.

Can’t wait.
That sounds delicious!! I actually got these red sauce things at the grocery store a couple times and they were delicious but they weren’t tamales. I think they were maybe enchiladas? Idk. Also the sauce was more like marinara 😂 well, not quite but probably not as good as homemade.
 
Okay... tried Aldi’s. It was pretty good. Definitely has improved since the last time I was there and some lady even gave me her cart on my way in so I didn’t even have to use my own quarter. 😁 so that was nice. But it’s not that cheap :confused: some stuff was and I did get a few things but then other stuff was the same price or barely cheaper than elsewhere and not really worth it. But then some stuff was a really good deal so I think it would be good if you only need a few things. I think our area is probably just expensive in general. The produce looked pretty good this time too. Some stuff wasn’t but some was. The chicken was like the same price as our store at least during sales.
 
I got some cheese (including some delicious looking goat cheese for half the price of our store 😁), pickles, relish, a little thing of ground lamb which I’ve never seen before, butter ($1.79!! :eek: :eek: even Walmart’s cheapest was $2.50) and some canned peaches to make peach cobbler later.

They used to be super cheap in the 80’s but expanded a bit in selection and price to stay competitive. Im glad you tried it and liked it this time around.
 
I prefer using frozen peaches over canned peaches for a cobbler. Of course, fresh peaches are preferred over frozen or canned.
Maybe I will have to try both! 😁 I was going to get some frozen ones earlier when I saw them at the store but then I wasn’t sure if they would work or not since they didn’t have the syrup and some recipes I found mentioned canned. But I do think it would be better with fresh or frozen. I’m not sure any stores have fresh peaches right now. I don’t even know which recipe I’m gonna use yet or anything or which one is good. If you happen to have one, that would be great. 😁 I just know I’ve been wanting peach cobbler for a while and haven’t been able to find it in any store. Apple, cherry, some very weird ones but no peach. :hit so I figured I would just make it myself. Probably will be better anyway. 😁🥰
