Has anybody else here tried these (found only at Aldi stores):

Current price: $9.99 for 4 5-ounce filet mignon, bacon-wrapped.


Or:
Current price: $2.59 for 1 5-ounce filet mignon, bacon-wrapped.


If so... let's compare reviews.

I'll start mine here:
When Husbear came home with these and told me the price, I was just a BIT apprehensive about what EXACTLY was in that low low-priced package...

THAT is why there's no decent meat in the stores. Well, that's part of it.
There's no decent meat in that container either.
I know, I'm a jerk but....

Do this:
Wait for one of those whole beef tenderloin packs to be on sale...for less than $8.29 per pound. That's common BTW. I frequently see it at 6.00 or less.
Pony up the cash, or go in with friends/neighbors. Slice it into slices and freeze if necessary (better to cook it).

That stuff you have pictured is 20% saltwater+preservatives.

:2c:

I practice what I preach on that one. I don't do it often, but ...when there's a good sale...yep. If I can get the cash at all, yep. Packaged whole beef tenderloin. Got it for 3.99 per pound once. I'd rather freeze the natural loin (even though I think it ruins the flavor) than eat their 20% saltwater + chemicals.

wonder if that thread should be reported for movement to the not advisable subforum....

FYI: I found the 'Not Advisable' subforum ;)

and the 'Free 18650 Batteries' thread was moved to the Modding forum

That was only temporary. Roly showed up. It's now in 'Not Advisable' with title changed and closed. lol.

EDIT: Jinx, Catt!

i try to avoid trademarking my typos...now if i could get royalties, my typing might get even worse.

FYI:
Roly stepped into the 'Free Batteries' thread, then changed the title to 'Old Batteries' and stuck it in 'Not Advisable'

:D

Well, since I don't have the street-cred to have a "secret ingredient" for my DIY, and I don't have the "big bucks" CES gets for editing other's material so I can buy pre-made, I guess I just have to make due.

Unless the secret is "EM"...that I don't use. Or a couple drops of water, that I do use.

Hiya, Chris. :wub:

Heya Jerry :)

Good luck you you and hubby Tibby!! :wub"

Hi CES! :wub:

Hello everbody.....

Norie!!! :wub:

I can't believe we're here at the same time!!

hehehe...for me it's just that DIY is too much like cooking. too much work, and i'd rather pay someone to make something that tastes good than to make something myself that doesn't

(someone else referred to me getting the big buck today...maybe that means i'll get a raise....please, please, please....)

It was me...in the context that teaching stuff takes a lot of effort and explaining and teachers should get the big bucks. And I wasn't kidding. Although they (well, many) DO get paid rather well. And have unions. And only work 9 months or so. But don't get me started.

And I hope you get a BIG raise!
