Sometimes we like to go with the cheap product over the one that costs $0.50 more and it all works out. However, this is a case when ALDI’s product just doesn’t cut it. It’s not because ALDI’s peppercorns taste bad. The peppercorns are great and in a taste test I wouldn’t be able to tell between their black peppercorns and McCormick’s. We had used ALDI’s grinder for a few days when we noticed how difficult it was to grind the pepper. Granted, these are disposable grinders, but some level of quality and durability is expected. In this case, we decided to go ahead and spend an extra $0.50 when the time came to replace the grinder. We bought a McCormick’s grinder and it was evident how much better the grinder was. McCormick’s product cuts through the peppercorns with ease. We tried the ALDI product again and it was just a little laborious to use. This is a good example when spending a few extra pennies is worth it.
have u considered finding a wooden pepper mill at a garage sale or antique store? i bought myself one and just refill it with peppercorns i get from frontier coop.
No, honestly I hadn’t thought about that yet. I’ll definitely keep an eye out for one, it seems like it may cost less in the long. This is exactly the reason I like writing my blog. It may have taken me years to happen upon your idea, and now I can implement it sooner. Thank you!
I am collecting Salt and Pepper Pots whenever I can and where ever I find them. They are so
