Psssst, Over Here. The Most Interesting ‘ALDI Finds’ Coming in August

With as much chatter as there is about the rising cult of Trader Joe’s, another little improbable grocer, ALDI, has quietly been building its own army of loyal shoppers. One reason the German-born supermarket chain is so popular is their beloved private label brands (similar to Trader Joe’s) along with “ALDI Finds,” a program where the market introduces new, unique, and often limited-run products every Wednesday, much to customers’ delight. ALDI Finds include creative coffee flavors, uniquely-seasoned meats, exciting new snacks, discount wines, and even quirky kitchen tools and appliances.

In the dark days, shoppers were only privy to ALDI Finds one week ahead of time, but following some top-secret ALDI espionage and a few backdoor payments, we were able to secure the ALDI Finds for the entire month of August. Just kidding, all we had to do was ask nicely.

From well-reviewed wine to thick-cut cherrywood smoked bacon, a few odd dips, and even an avocado-saver, the August ALDI Finds are looking mighty promising.

Remember, ALDI Finds drop on Wednesdays and only last until supplies run out (which can mean mere hours for certain things). Check out the August ALDI Finds we’re scheming on below and be sure to set a reminder.

Telehealth hubs offer care options for people living on the edge the virtual world

Imagine
At Catholic Charities Opportunity Center in downtown St. Paul, Senior Clinical Manager Stacie Joncas works with some of the people who’ve been hardest hit by the many crises that have befallen the Twin Cities over the last few months. “These are people who are really having a rough time right now,” she said. “With the murder of George Floyd, the riots and COVID, what we’re finding is a huge increase in mental health and substance use problems among our client population.” A day center for people experiencing homelessness and for members of other vulnerable communities, the Opportunity Center provides a safe place for people to spend time, eat a hot meal and get help with a variety of issues, including looking for a job, finding affordable housing and getting support for mental health and addiction concerns. When COVID-10 hit Minnesota this spring, most health care providers made the shift to telehealth as a way to safely see their patients without risk of spreading the virus. While

Overuse on cattle feedlots is a key factor in antibiotic resistance, report says

Cattle producers purchased 42 percent of all medically important antibiotics sold for livestock use in the United States in 2018 — about the same amount sold for chicken and pork production combined, according to a scathing  report published this month by the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC). In fact, in 2018, nearly as many antibiotics of medical importance were sold for use in cattle (5.6 million pounds) as for human use (7.5 million pounds). Most of those antibiotics wouldn’t be necessary if the U.S. beef industry made changes in how they raise cattle and produce meat. Cattle producers in the U.S. use antibiotics three to six times more intensively than do their counterparts in the European Union, the report points out. That’s because the drugs are fed routinely to cattle on U.S. feedlots — even when no animals are sick. The European Union, which is the third-largest beef producer globally, not only discourages the routine feeding of antibiotics to cattle, it has announ

Bringing Your Ballpark Food Favorites Home

Imagine
You know what I love? Baseball . There’s just something about it, you know? As America ’s pastime, it’s so historically and culturally significant—patriotic, in fact. As a summer sport, it was always a game I enjoyed during a break from school , when fun, relaxation, and baseball were what life was all about. As a daily sport, it’s great for someone like me. The practice to game ratio is great; when you win, you get to keep the momentum going; and when you lose, you can get right back to it the next day. Now that I’m older, and no longer play the game myself, it’s this last reason that really sticks with me. Baseball is an everyday sport. Sometimes it’s a grind. Sometimes it’s full of highs. In that way, it’s a lot like life. It also becomes a part of your life due to this same, everyday nature. For six months, it becomes your routine. You watch, or listen, spending time with the announcers for a few hours, as you go about your day. It’s a hobby, a passion, habitual. You know what
