Aldi Protein Tub And PB Fit Hack
- Matt uses Aldi elevation protein powder for years and tracks price-per-gram; he finds it extremely cheap.
- He improves flavor with PB Fit and rotates brands when he tires of a flavor.

- Shop multiple lenders and compare VA vs conventional loan terms rather than assuming one is always better.
- If VA offers lower rates and you will invest the savings wisely, using VA with disciplined investing can make sense.
