I went back to WLOS to tape another segment for Spotlight Carolina. This time around we were on a bit of a caffeine high talking all things COFFEE and the best ALDI coffee for International Coffee Day which is September 29th.

They have a variety of flavors too.  Better yet, like all things at ALDI, they are delicious and affordable.

A 12-ounce bag of beans retails for about $4, on average. You really can't beat that!  You can get it ground or whole beans to grind yourself.  There are ALDI coffee pods too. ALDI's version of the K-cup runs from 30 cents to 50 cents, which is less than half of what traditional K-cup costs.  Some brands run $2 a cup!
