YOU HEARD ME RIGHT!  NO SHIPPING CHARGE!  Your selected books are put on you list and they'll send you one book a month.  Of course, it you want more at any one time, you just go online and order.  And you get as many books as you want at $9.95 without a shipping charge.  I've belonged to other book clubs and for the amount of shipping that's been charged I could have gotten another book or two from Zooba.  I've cancelled my other book club memberships and swear by Zooba. — And hey, what a GREAT NAME for a book club.  If your're Into books or book clubs, check out their website, www.zooba.com, and see for yourself. —...

I have also bought corn beef from Aldi's that taste was so permeated with fat that I tossed the whole piece of meat.  I was buying the beef hot dogs but they also  are full of fat, something I have never had with any other hotdog and these were the all-beef. — I definitely find great bargains on staples and many of their produce items are of excellent quality.  At least you...
