Who doesn't love a good deal? Each week that one aisle at Aldi, you know, the one you try not to spend too much time in, is stocked with a variety of products that often include national brands. However some Aldi Finds are better left on the shelf. This week I've compared 7 items to see if it's a good deal or not. I chose the following items because they are also sold at national and regional stores.
A Good Deal or Not!

Yummy Panko Chicken Nuggets or Whole Grain Chicken Fries
For the most part, Aldi Finds are worth it. No need to go to another store searching for a better price on these items. Yes, the napkins are cheaper at Walmart but the size is much smaller than those sold at Aldi.
