Last week I skipped Aldi shopping, but this week I went way over budget. Tomorrow morning is the last day of school for my boys, which means I will soon have a very hungry tween on my hands all day long. He can go through our fruit bowl in a day or two, and he is always searching for snacks. I am so thankful that Aldi has great deals on produce, because last year I scrambled trying to keep the fruit bowl full with Publix's prices.
I also bought plenty of snacks, and I picked up a few products for our upcoming vacation. While I do have a general idea of where we will be heading, I have no idea when. My husband's work makes it difficult to plan, and after years of living with this spontaneous way of vacationing, it seems I have finally gotten used to it.

I would love to hear how you did on your grocery shopping this week?
I've meaning to share ... when I went to Aldi's last weekend, they had a dozen eggs for 89 cents each ... limit 10. Ummm, that surprised me as I thought you were seeing them at $1.29 or so? Just a heads up (441 & Oakland store)

I've noticed variation in stores in the dallas area too. The store I usually shop at had milk $1.89 and eggs for $0.49, but we stopped in one on the way back from my daughters tumbling class and their milk was $1.79, but eggs were $0.99. Not even 10 miles apart.
ReplyDeleteI have also noticed that when one product goes up in price another one of my favorite might decrease...:)
