It's not the best dark chocolate I have ever had. But, it's decent and at
U1.65/pkg (local price) for Moser-Roth and around U$3 for Lindt, etc. ...

I don't do a lot of pumpkins at anytime, so I have never looked. And the local
"majors" usually have jellied cramberrys on sale at excellent prices around
holiday seasons - ALDI seldom does those sorts of sales, sticking with everyday
low prices, it seems.

Well, common sense would say that *should* be the usual way to do things. But,
in reality ...
