While I like the quality of Aldi's cake mixes, they all have pudding in them.  Some recipes that have cake mixes in them specify non-pudding type mixes.  What's a person to do as almost all mixes come that way now with a few exceptions.

GRR on the 4 pound sugar bags.

They moved it to 4 pounds when the price went up and as I thought, now the cost of a 4 pound bag is as much as a 5 pound bag.

One thing that is interesting, and this may be a western thing: Store brand sugar, which is mostly beet sugar, is still in 5 pound bags and significantly cheaper.

The cane sugar tastes sweeter to me (and more importantly to my wife, as I don't use that much sugar), so I buy that.

I buy C&H Baker's Sugar which comes in a carton (like milk), and I think it's always been 4 lbs. as long as I've used it, which is 8 - 10 years.

With many things, I've noticed that the package size varies between different stores. For example, I see Kingsford charcoal in full 20 lb. bags at GFS and Home Depot, but at Kroger and Meijer they are smaller, like 17 or 18 lbs.

The sugar crystal is finer, they are nice.

The bags used to be 5 pounds tho
