For anyone interested, Aldi has your choice of faux lemons, limes or pears in a package of 14 for $7.99.  They are very nicely done ~ made of styrofoam but smooth, not bumpy like styrofoam can sometimes be.  I bought the pears as I think these would be nice to add to our kitchen decor for fall.  Some are even spotted like a real pear would be.  Valerie has a package of 12 limes (H202321) for $19.75 that look to be about the same size as the ones I saw today.  Don't get me wrong, I love Valerie and eagerly anticipate her shows but this is such a good value I wanted to share.  :-)

Thank you for sharing!  I love fake fruit as a decor and am always adding new styles and changing them around.  One of my favorite sets was a beautiful ceramic set that was hand painted that I found at a local thrift store....  they make my antique/country decor look inviting ....Woman Happy

I'd just be happy if I would go to town and find Aldi's period. We are supposed to be getting a Kroger or a Publix to add to our WalMart, Harvey's, and Save-A-Lot. With out KMart closing, we have a spot for something like Target or Aldi's to move in.

I'm glad to hear they're remodeling some of their stores. Maybe they'll do the one nearest me because as it is, it's a depressing store to walk into, and the strip mall it's in is depressing, and it's about 8 miles away.  With so many excellent places to shop in between me and them and with how little I buy on each trip, I rarely go there.

 

They did build a brand new, free-standing Aldi not quite as far away from me when I'm in Florida.  I should try that one this winter.

That's a good price.  I have a pear theme in the kitchen and use regular size pears and mini pears.  Home Goods usually has various size fruit.

@millieshops ~ They remodeled all three that are close to our house, so I bet yours will be remodeled, too!  :-)

I went to Aldis yesterday and the parking lot was like bumper cars. I didn't know they were remodeling since this store just opened a short while ago. What are the changes?

it seems they are doing many.
