Introduction/Definition/etc
Perhaps following the MiscBooks2019
trend/ pattern:
Some stuff from Aldi stores,
mostly AldiCantFind2019
some regular availability
of note, so as to know what to
get, and what to avoid,
some for myself, some might
be useful opinions for others,
what to avoid, and why...

So trying some Aldi stuff
mostly AldiCantFind2019
Cooking Stuff
As Aldi is a warehouse like
grocery store
with other stuff,
the pairing food
with small kitchen appliances
makes some sense,
buy some food,
and the stuff to prepare it with,
kind of one stop shopping,
though limited runs of AldiCantFind2019
makes it maddening at times,
as i don't typically have money after
about the first week of the month
so weekly specials and missing weeks
out of the month, that hope some are left
when/ if get the next month's money/
so left overs and last ones which typically
have been tried and returned, likely defective
probably what happened with
AldiAmbiano9In1ProgrammablePressureCooker2019
the store didn't check well,
if even plugged in, lit up,
and not full run, to see that
runs ~2 minutes, and stops...
and no support to speak of,
wanted one that works,
and same model to reuse the pot,
one in the fridge/ dishwasher and
more regular use, instead of every
other day, or whatever the routine works
out to be, with me, like the
HamiltonBeachBreadMaker2019
and later
BlackAndDeckerBreadMaker2019
....
(amazingly long run on sentences above
but could not find good breaking points
in the associatively related stuff,
so leaving it for now)
Ambiano6Qt4In1MultiCooker2019
was a stopgap/ filler item,
at around $20? or so,
Worth trying something else,
have a Rival one hand me down
but with simple manual controls
didn't do some of what the
FixItAndForgetItBakingWithYourSlowCookerByPhyllisGood2019
might want/ need, so trying that,
with mild success, on beans,
but not all the way there, like
AldiAmbianoPressureCooker2019
add Electric to the packaging name
but too long for PBWorksWikiWebPages
naming conventions be damned?
Along the interesting,
an AldiAmbianoSousVide2019
was an oddity that seemed
like a blender stick,
but actually was a heating element,
for vacuum (vide = vacuum?)
bags of meat/ protein/ etc
for example, and tried once
with loose eggs,
but they are difficult to peel,
losing a lot of the egg whites,
probably because i left them in to cool,
might be some prep method(s)
like peeling tomatoes (ice water?
burn off with a gas range?)
that makes it easier,
besides using older eggs,
if that isn't just an old wives tale...
/KitchenMythBustersAnyone???
/ProbablyWhatAmericanTestKitchenIs?
Sick F***s
Some contention, some one(s) following/
stalking trying to get that from me,
but likely not leaving me alone...
One guy, abusive Domineering type
I had to have the staff do something
the little prices from clearance shelves/cart(s)
were not being recognized,
the barcode one did,
and a little balding white guy
with what seemed like open sores
shat all over me verbally,
and likely was arrested/ fired,
third strike if not more,
as a predator,
another problem with that store,
"Arlington Doesn't like their Poor",
and Hate2017
abuse and other problems of discrimination,
possibly finally caught
and did something about it,
another customer/secret shopper
probably got him...
Beware there are predators out there,
and likely some closer than you think,
kiss/licking the floor,
ordered down by the police?
after saying a bike
is the dirtiest thing that could be done,
while the little creep
oozed hate and sickness all over me,
symbolically, maybe
some sickness only incarceration can fix,
so as to keep away from the general public,
thinking he was a protector, really abuser,
and other victims fought back...
Retail Price Labeling & Other Problems
Anyways, bad experiences else where,
AlFromAlDiSaysNoPhotosOfMerch2019
BadBunny2019
and more,
lied about finding a pressure cooker,
one guy fired for that, and allowing a
women abusing, over charging,
stickers on shelves not matching
the price, and in my case coming
up short in a long line register,
because of their fraud/ abuse
happened in other stores too,
(Target, even the same day,
on index cards, relatively cheap
there ~$0.50 for white (rule/unruled)
while same chain store elsewhere
much more, coloured set, replacing after
Legacy2019 handing out to the audience
for participation,
as with some other problems
but i digress, problems getting good things,
quality lacking, and hit or miss on pricing,
and availability, and support,
i guess typical of today's markets,
and rather low cost items...
Father's Day/ StereoTypical Men's stuff
While not all people may have/
know their fathers/ still around,
some men and others may find
shopping for men's stuff easier,
and cheaper,
especially with AldiCantFind2019
where seasonal and limited time
availability, means you're at their
schedule instead of the other way
around, anyone else see
Pavlovian conditioning here?
Not Name brand,
Crane is Aldi's main
sports equipment and apparel
but at a fraction of the price (~$15?),
only found a 12, and the shoes make
a little noise while walking,
guessing the top folding over,
which may wear down/out...
Soles are of a pattern,
like not enough rubber in the mold,
in parts, but not all,
(some think / said
put on felt to dry or something
and only wore off/not brushed off
in certain low contact patch places?)...
Wondering how they will hold up as
other cheap shoes typically smell quickly,
and from cheaper materials...
which not much can be done about
beside buy OdorEaters (tm elsewhere)
which may cost more or
about what the shoes do
$15? (pack of 3 OdorEaters
activated charcoal/Carbon)...
There were a few of them,
but never found my size,
11 1/2
10,11 or 12
and rarely marked with price,
could have been a lot less,
i guess staff might buy them like
part of a uniform, so selling some,
makes some sense, gloves similar...
Light tan leather, hopefully steel toed,
i'd been riding around with hiking boots,
a mountain bike and off that where are you?
but some other cases, good to have
leather, welding, blacksmith, and
Hacker/MakerSpace shop(s) elsewhere,
dropping a heavy tool even at
TheBikeHouseCoop2015
and cause some damage/ brokenness
on the body...
Similar to Crocs/
umms??
Still in my first days of use,
needing socks, as abrasion,
and risks,
not a lot of walking,
thinking shower like,
flip flops but stronger
(No blow outs
but odd patterns on sunburn/tan
with some holes on top...)
Uses include possibly camping,
on and off, a lot,
Heel strap flips up
so can go without easily,
say putting on hands free..
Some seen with nursing like environments
and steam cleaning them might be more
possible than other shoe types,
iirc searching for Umms, another brand,
didn't find, but University of Maryland Medical
System showed crocs as part of uniform,
no holes and socks required, etc,
similar to welding and likely cooking
requirements for protective/
non infectious disease control stuff...
Mostly, for me not get twigs, etc in feet,
but at home, ended up dropping a jar
from my fridge and broken glass
cutting my bare feet during a packaging
sweep before pest control inspection/
treatment/ no prep required...
I did some general maintenance anyways,
and seems they lied after
saying they weren't
and went in when i wasn't there,
from feedback, and a fan left running
but no note left, like required by law,
from landlords...
SlumLords
SlumLords2013
21dot30RetalitoryEviction2015
etc
getting worse
despite some personnel changes,
("no longer with us" sounds like
a(n) euphemism, for died,
gang and other sadism problems likely
in that case...),
Also the Governor's visit to another property
in the area, and some housing season
stuff going on, Arlington being middle
to low income marketing a new product
so to speak, some call the Missing Middle...
Says knit which means, for them,
kind of sweatshirt/shorts type material,
instead of cotton fabric,
nor Lycra (tm elsewhere),
which is super stretchy
like bike shorts/tights/ jerseys...
etc..
Odd boxing like thick/wide waistband
(looks cumberbun (sp?)?)
but too thin/ light weight drawstring cord?
is not enough to really hold up
the stuff i normally carry around.
Cord/ shoelace is on the outside too,
maybe why the boxing type styling,
have to, as wearing gloves,
/UnWrapToMakeAFather?
etc...
Colours only seen green and
a blue with red pin? stripes,
the app/website may show more..
Difficulty finding XL sizes
despite might have the waist for a Large,
(38 inch, trying 40+)
but by the time i fill my pockets
with the normal stuff,
really need Cargo pants/ shorts instead,
which mil/ tactical is typical,
but gets scary
LuLuLemon
TrailMagic2017
follow on
(find link named?
Namaste2018
)
started the discussion/ ideas
of what makes good shorts for me,
those making me feel naked,
runners shorts are a lot lighter,
i guess chafing, and stuff,
more than an over packaging
for modesty, and pockets, in my case,
keys, many in excess,
wallet, devices, some minimal tools,
even beginning of the month laundry quarter rolls
or end of the month remains, of such,
for use as food/ snacks, lunch money,
minimal groceries
etc and quickly filled up little pockets,
front and back pocket not as useful,
Nor very big as stuff falling out,
particularly a wallet,
mine overstuffed with receipts, etc
but forgetting one, the other day,
went and cleaned/ minimal
and screwed myself,
not literally, but figuratively,
luckily
NoVAMakerFaire2019 lady/ girl
had seen enough, and let me in,
so ripstop nylon possibly typical of
tents/ camping, parachutes, etc
for material, and limiting the overall
stretching, those LuLuLemon and others
may expand and flex, but stopping from
going too far, and falling off, ripping
and losing important ID/ valuables,
etc, and pretty soon i've making my own
UtiliKilts, or similar pattern, clown pants,
and other specialty items,
like not gotten to trying AldiSewingMachine2018
2019 or similar...
Yet to be reviewed, may never get to,...
Bought a second Blue Red Horizontal Pinstripe
as found for ~$5 when normally ~$9 list,
and need to replace some other shorts
where the crotch has holes from
excessive bike wear/
damage/sabotage/ etc...
In NoVAMakerFaire2019 likely lost my
Garmin
GarminVivoFit3
somewhere that very long hot trip day,
GEMSActivityTracker2018
stepFXActivityTracker2017
and a summary page?
OpenDogTags2018
so some experience with them,
this one is a little the same,
as one, clamp type charging,
packaging size
but at ~$26
and wanted to try,
got one,
finding the app was a pain,
as they have many iTech apps,
some for specific fitness devices
but got it paired, and using it,
i wouldn't say it's water proof,
and the button kept hitting on my left
arm, my watch next to it,
so have to wear it on the right,
so carrying stuff, swinging my arm,
and notice not as accurate as the Garmin
which probably had some minimal
GPS built in
but never paired with BlueTooth,
likely already paired and locked out by
open Box MicroCenter
and developed a rash/ sore, possibly
by abrasion with the heavy watch,
forcing it one way or the other
on long rides/ days,
sweat collecting, sun exposure,
etc...
Charging during showering
may be a way to keep from
water damage, and remembering to,
as bluetooth use and battery drains
quicker, like most devices, but rechargeable
some devices in the OpenDogTags2018
weren't including the Garmin,
why i was wearing to take and get a battery,
but didn't open it myself, some kid
likely thought it his prize,
hopefully i don't lose much data/ privacy,
and someone trying to buzz/ vibrate my new one,
early am, while my microwave was on,
and some kids mucking around,
likely to get arrested, soon...
Anyways, some step counting,
app shows stuff on a map,
if location is on, and still a problem there,
privacy, etc...
Shutter control only for the smart phone
it pairs with wouldn't work with
EKENH9ActionCamera2017
afaict, as some hierarchy
Hub, master/slave server/client
type arrangement in BlueTooth,
not peer to peer two way,
either being on/ in control
switchable, mesh like forwarding,
and other good stuff, so maybe progress
over the year(s)+ though
BBCMicroBit2017
and other stuff,
Sony's new cheap GPS
that maybe in this one,
idk, but might be a good way
to go, look up, learn about,
when/if i'm back technical
geeky and have any money to do so,
not likely, in the near future...
Tools
(put up in Fathers Section above?
Tried)
PowerTools
Lithium Ion Drill
Having no money,
but kinda drooling on them,
figuratively, as want,
though not a lot of use
for in an apartment,
without doing some outside/
home shop type stuff...
Power Tools came back
for Father's day,
Last was holiday time?
Socket Set
Small hand tools,
around $9, iirc...
BitSet
Also interesting?
but see what use, i really have...
collected others from hardware
stores, cheap, but never know when
you need this or that,
though hording would be too far...
Wallet
Perhaps the best tool of all,
having some money,
but alas, that and
Belts
Not showing a plumber's crack,
might be good,
better chance of becoming
a dad, i guess
if learn to dress a little better,
but not all the way to fashion,
approaching queers
in queer eye for the straight guy,
stereotypical stuff..
Garden
A little late in the season,
pruning
hand tools there,
interesting,
but availability/money timing issues,
for me...
AldiFoldingWagon2019
After an
AldiGardenLineGardenUtilityCart2019
was bought and assembled,
they came out with something i had mentioned
in that writeup, a wagon type thing, this folds
up and carries less than the full metal (jacket?)
counterpart, by about half,
but portability and
Found for discounted $10
last few ones, make space on the shelves type timing,
and got another after,
(errands on the way to
NoVAMakerFaire2019
thinking if not allowed in with a bike/ wheelchair equivalent
tear down and use as luggage,
no storage to speak of, people to watch,
i ended up watching some skinny tired bikes,
the only other ones besides those on the loop,
Sunday bus / metro schedules and parking likely costs,
long campus walks from parking lot hell,
so seemed the best way there, even if 30+ mile day
in uncharted/hostile? territory, as had changed, a lot?
hoping it works out ok,
seems like the button and auto release,
might be defective,
but fit on the back rack
of the bike, sticking out,
using old inner tubes as luggage straps
on a touring heavy duty rack...
On and off, pack unpack time
is a hassle for MultiModal
and part of making that easier
a pet project that got me into welding,
for the MotoSideCarTrailerIdear2013
or before, yet to really specify,
fully design...
But the old bedframe,
angle iron, but too many holes/ slots
make the likelihood of bending the wrongway,
falling apart possible, and undesirable (sp?),
some un cut sections and have to mix and match
from scrap/ excess, discards,
so might be a source for some things,
finish/ paint/ rust/ debris, cleaning/ wirebrush/
sanding, grinding, etc issues to handle...
Knitting and Crochet WoodLand Creatures
Teddy Bear,
knitting
Penguin🐧?
Panda 🐼?
something fun,
and don't have possession,
Lent as collateral for someone to see,
and not gotten back,
more fun type
waiting a year, or so, if that happens,
to get another set,
is going to be painful, personally,
likely other places
have similar learn to knit, crochet kits,
but not taken the time to search/
learn, find, buy, etc...
Coaster/ cozie (sp?) and basic knitting,
for home type stuff,
rumored, but not tried...
Deer, Fox, HedgeHog (alphabetically),
materials included,
others just a plan...
Included some hook, large safety? pins,
etc, but not scissors, and anything
like in a sewing repair kit,
see below...
Sewing
Repairs mobile
at least three varieties,
At ~$4 or so, iirc,
but at least one kit had machine needles
so might be the only way to get parts/supplies
for the AldiSewingMachine2019
I ended up with two different one kits,
difficulty finding those, late in the month,
and availability, plus having money at the time,
of limited window /timeframe stuff,
but ended up with two of the three varieties...
One opened and no packaging they had too look
up, overcharged, on some thing else,
etc problems...
Pillows
Memory foam,
sizes, lots of winter white sales time,
still seeing some, but expensive,
a camp pillow might have helped
Camping Gear
Aldi_Adv _SolarShower2019
insert AdventureTypeNaming in middle
and continue with that
Aldi_Adv _FlashLight2019
similar insert AdventureTypeNaming
Aldi _Adv _ SleepingBag2019
Rope for $8-9?
even with reflective, not sure why,
not climbing quality,
but i guess brand loyalty,
if cheaper and had money i might have,
and/or Boy/GirlScouts OneStopShopping?
Similar Munchkins were rumored to
have cleaned out one place
recently...
Bags
there is an Aldi Shopping Cart liner
type thingie, i guess shared cart
and turns into a bag, so line the cart
and wrap up, done instead of transferring
again, checkout is weird at Aldi,
the first time(s), and some may not
get used to, if you bring your cart,
renting one, and goes back in yours,
instead of the one left there,
so efficiency and noob in line,
can slow things up,
having UPC on lots of sides of things
and repetitive wrist, etc injuries
reduced...
Many other things,
forgetting and tired, so punt for now...

Limited availability AldiCantFind2019
Extremely limited funds,
so double whammy,
in a bad way...
Book Data
item numbers would be good,
find packaging, enter here,
and find links, like if SKUs
or similar are used to do lookups
for all sorts of things
short urls likely,

See above, would be good to be able to lookup
online specs, when available,
other's reviews, etc...
and add weights and other comments...

Conclusion
Summary of experience or similar
Some things trying and need to write up better,
elaborate plans, but too busy with outside
demands, to concentrate, and now too tired
to do well, life's a B, and not a Beach,
seen a BeachComber
and someone wanted to give it away,
but have to return it to the Beach,
stolen, not inflatable wheels,
plastic, but might have been good on sand,
to get stuff to umbrellas,
oh, Golf and Patio Umbrellas exist
a kid asked me if they had,
i said they had GardenHats
(mine had gone missing, little thieves
likely get hung for that, seriousness and
thievery gotten quite out of hand...
and where, but later umbrellas came out,
hope he tries again,
/keep looking...
