This past weekend was a blur with kids’ soccer games and birthday parties to attend to. Little room was left for meal planning so I stuck with one the quickest meals I could think of; burgers on the grill. On the way home from the game on Sunday I stopped at Meijer to pick up my usual ingredients of ground chuck, cheese, ketchup and buns. I decided to go with the Aunt Millie’s brand of hamburger buns. We usually purchase the Meijer brand buns when serving everything from burgers to bbq pulled pork. However, the quality seems to have trended downwards. We have found the Meijer buns to be extremely dry so a change was in order. I considered the Aunt Millie’s brand without question as we have had great luck with some of the other products such as sandwich bread and English muffins.
The buns are eight to a package and we purchased them at the low sale price of $1.25. Upon opening the package, the buns were extremely soft and fluffy which was a real good sign. The buns even had a glossy golden shine on the tops as one would expect in a quaint little bakery! After I pulled the burgers off the grill we quickly knocked down our dinner and quickly realized how delicious the Aunt Millie’s white hamburger buns tasted. I do not recall what the regular price of the buns is, but I will certainly consider purchasing them again. I would rate this purchase a very strong buy.
