Is Mold at a Discount a Bargain?

For years Aldis has been my savior on those weeks when I buy groceries with pennies I've scraped together from under the couch. But lately I have had a couple of hard knocks.

The first was from canned tomatoes and chilies. I had bought some, and was really getting into my morning huevos ranchos, and then I started getting sick. Really sick. Then I would get better, so I'd have some more and get sick again. I realized it was the canned chilies, every time I ate them I was getting severely ill. I was disappointed, but not sure if it was a bad product, or if maybe my stomach just couldn't take it.

Then I went to open a can of ravioli for my son and there was mold ON THE INSIDE OF THE CAN...AAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGHHHH. Gross, Gross, Gross.

As depressing as it is, I am just going to have to pay a little more for my canned goods. Saving ten cents a can isn't a good deal if we die of food poisoning.
