they can afford it. And you are making me really hungry for this stuff!!!! We discovered some pulled pork at Aldi's for only $5.99. Enough for 4 good sandwiches. It is really good! And the one thing I can make really good in the stupid Cuisinart toaster oven air fryer are Aldi's frozen French fries so that is the only reason I haven't given it to Goodwill yet. LOL! I can't make cookies. They get burnt on the bottom and are not done inside. I can't figure out how to fix it.It is really a stupid appliance. I have tried lower temp, parchment paper, aluminum foil. I can do them the same temp in my regular gas stove and they turn out great! Go figure!
