#ALDI Produce #Deals - 3 lbs Mandarins $2.49 & More

Today is the start of a new ALDI ad, and that means new produce deals. I'm sure going to head in for some mandarins, because they are vanishing quite quickly around here.

Our North Florida produce deals for December 21 - 27th.

ALDI Holiday Deals: 10 Lbs Potatoes $1.79, Halos for $2.99 & More

I got quite a disappointment at ALDI this week, but it was all my own fault. I had been planning on making a duck for the guys at Christmas (the girls in our home are vegetarians), but the ducks were all gone. I knew it was a risk waiting to buy the duck, but our freezer is tiny (the over the fridge kind), and there were still a bunch of ducks left last week.

ALDI Chicken and Egg Sale

This week ALDI has a great sale on chicken and egg, and I'll probably return to stock up on eggs later on this week, in preparation of the kids being out of school. With a family of six, egg sandwiches fr the family uses up half a dozen of eggs and almost an entire loaf of bread.

I had my two little ones with me in the store today, which always leaves me frazzled, but I managed to get out of the store with what I needed.

#ALDI Thanksgiving Deals - Great Prices on Specialty Foods

I spent a lot more than usual at ALDI today, but I am still thankful to get thanksgiving shopping done at ALDI, because it is so easy to get in and out, and I don't have to bother with organizing coupons. Instead of worrying about the total at checkout, I could simply put all of my family's holiday favorites in the grocery cart and still be way under what I would have been, if I had shopped elsewhere. The best part is that ALDI has become really good at expanding their luxury items such as cheese and crackers, which means that we can still pick up a bunch of specialty food without spending big bucks.

#ALDI Thanksgiving Deals - Great Prices on Luury

I spent a lot more than usual at ALDI today, but I am still thankful to get thanksgiving shopping done at ALDI, because it is so easy to get in and out, and I don't have to bother with organizing. Instead of worrying about the total at checkout, I could simply put all of my family's holiday favorites in the grocery cart and still be way under what I would have been, if I had shopped elsewhere. The best part is that ALDI has become really good at expanding their luxury items such as cheese and crackers, which means that we can still pick up a bunch of specialty food without spending big bucks.

As an extra bonus I found two beautiful blue serving platters on clearance at $2 each. The regular price was $7.99, and I've been looking at them for a while. At $2 clearance it was the perfect price, and the color is perfect for our beachy color theme throughout the house.

ALDI November Deals - Great Prices on Apples and Pears

Today is a great week at ALDI for our family, because we go through a lot of fruit, and ALDI has apples and pears on sale. So we doubled up, and we might just go back on Tuesday for more.

#ALDI #Halloween #Clearance #Deals

With four kids in the family, including three big, fast growing boys, finding clearance deals on food is a great way to help stay on budget. Right now ALDI has a lot of Halloween/fall clearance going on, most of it at 50 percent off.

I found everything from fall decor, to Halloween decorations, pumpkin flavored foods, chocolate covered pretzels, sprinkles and Halloween candy and snacks.

Our kids get lunch at school, but I always have a snack of some sort waiting for them in the morning. I find individually wrapped snacks on sale and clearance, or bag them in small snack bags myself. It's amazing how fast my stock of snacks can run on low. Sometimes they choose which snacks they get, other times I surprise them.

This morning I surprised the with Bats and Webs potato snacks from ALDI.

These were Halloween clearance at ALDI for $0.59 per 3.5 oz bag, and it looks like there's enough in one bag for 2-3 days of snacks.

Did you find any great clearance deals at ALDI lately?

ALDI Fall Produce Deals - 10 Lbs Potatoes $1.69 & More

ALDI Shopping = Stress Saver - Chicken Sale + Apple Price Drop & More

When there isn't enough hours in the week, I am so thankful for ALDI. It has just been crazy around here, and with four kids there just isn't much time in the day to do grocery planning, circular browsing and coupon clipping.

ALDI Produce Deals - October 19 -25

Our oldest son goes through a bag of apples or pears in a few days, so I'm excited to see this week's ALDI produce deals at our local North Florida ALDI store.

ALDI Organic Salad Sale, Chicken Deal & More

So, I actually did this deal last night, but between kid pick up from a race, late grocery shopping and feeding the kids there just wasn't time to write it up.


Amazingly ALDI had plenty of chicken left, so I picked up another pack at $0.69/lb. Since all the bread was gone before the hurricane, I did not find any bread clearance, and milk price increased big time between before and after hurricane Matthew.

ALDI Chicken Sale - $0.69/Lb

Our town is in clean up mode after the hurricane, and little by little, everything is getting back to normal.Our local ALDI store lost power, and a lot of food such as milk and meat got spoiled. This morning they only had skim milk in store, but the truck is on the way.

This morning my daughter and I rode our bike to ALDI to pick up chicken on sale. Now that my husband has a job with regular hours, it means that we can only do grocery shopping later he is done with work. By that time the weekly meat deal is usually gone, so I have to go there in the morning to pick up the chicken, and then return later for actual grocery shopping.

Our ALDI Chicken Deal:

4.44 lbs chicken drumsticks on sale at $0.69/lb = $3.06

ALDI Hurricane Grocery Shopping

So, we went into ALDI thinking the hurricane was coming toward us as a category 2 or 3. We were planning on staying put, and riding it out. Then when we got home, the boys were watching the news, and we saw some big numbers showing 4, 4, 4. A category 4. Oh boy! I think we can file this into the category of changing plans. 

ALDI out of Bread

So, we had to wait to go to ALDI until this afternoon, because my husband just started a new job with a long commute. I've been picking up a few canned goods here and there, and we really just needed our regular groceries.

#ALDI #HurricaneMatthew Preparation - Low Prices on Bottled Water and More

Hurricane Matthew is on its way, and it seems that all of us in coastal communities need to keep a close eye on the path. If you have yet to stock up, I highly recommend heading to your local ALDI store for your hurricane supplies.

Stocking Up on Last Chance Grape & Apple #Deals at #ALDI

Tomorrow is the new ALDI ad, and that means new ALDI produce deals. This week had some fantastic produce deals though, so when we got a break in the rain this morning, Bellamy Blue and I headed for ALDI on the bike.

ALDI Meat Coupons - Saved Big On Chicken

This week ALDI has some great deals, but we missed out on the weekly chicken deal, since they were already out, by the time we made it there. Instead we found several packages of chicken with $2 ALDI meat coupons on - can you guess what we had for dinner?

ALDI Produce Deals September 28 - October 4 - Grapes $0.79/Lb

This week's ALDI produce deals have a lot of great picks for our family, and I'll surely be taking advantage of the great prices.

Our North Florida ALDI Produce Deals:

ALDI Milk and Chicken Sale - Saving On Groceries Without Clipping Coupons

I went ALDI shopping today, and there sure are a lot of great deals at ALDI. I'm always positively surprised at the register, and I think ALDI is the only place that ever happens. Without ALDI, I don't know what we would do to keep our food budget reasonable, because our three growing boys go through a lot of food.

ALDI Chicken Sale - Family Pack Chicken Drumsticks $0.49/lb

If you're headed to ALDI, I highly recommend making Wednesday your shopping day. Today is the beginning of the new ad cycle, and it also means the beginning of a new weekly meat deal, which often run out fast.

Today's ALDI meat deal is a great ALDI chicken sale. This week you can get a family chicken drumstick pack on sale at $0.49/lb. Many ALDI stores will limit the number of deals you can buy, but even one family pack is a great deal.

We buy most of our meat at ALDI, and the prices and quality is great.

ALDI Milk Sale - 1 Gallon $2.29!

ALDI has a great sale on milk this week, and if your family is anything like ours, I'm sure you'll appreciate the price cut on the already low dairy prices at ALDI.

ALDI Produce Deals September 14 - 20

It's a new ALDI week, and that means new produce deals. Below you can see our North Florida ALDI deals, but you can see your own ALDI produce deals here.

In North Florida we have the following ALDI produce deals from September 14 - 20, 2016.

ALDI Chicken Sale - $0.69/Lb

ALDI meat sales are a big help, when you are on a tight budget, and this week ALDI has a great deal on family packs of chicken thighs. At $0.69 per pound, it is a price that's hard to beat.

ALDI Bread Clearance

For the past month we have taken advantage of several great ALDI bread clearance deals, and it has meant a lot of savings. We have found hot dog bread, hamburger buns and loaves of bread for as little as $0.15!
Since we live in Florida, bread automatically ends up in the fridge anyway, and with a four kids, a loaf of bread can easily disappear in two days, so an approaching expiration date is not a problem.

ALDI Eggs $0.69!

When my family requested egg sandwiches on the weekend, I used to think about how expensive it was going to be.

This past month, I've been asking the kids if they want egg sandwiches, because it's been a very cost-effective solution for our family of six.

Back To The ALDI Spot

After a long - almost 4 year break, I've decided to get back to the ALDI Spot. A lot has changed, since I started up the ALDI spot, and while I've continued to blog about our ALDI shopping trips at our frugal family blog Frugality Is Free, I think it's time to get back to real ALDI blogging.

We recently moved from urban South Florida, where we had a 20 minute drive to our local ALDI store. We now live in beautiful north east Florida, and we only have a five minute drive to ALDI.

With three growing boys ages 7, 10 and 14 plus a little 3-year-old princess, ALDI has been a big budget saver for our family of six.

As I talk with people in our new community, I have come to realize that there are still a lot of people who have not learned about what a money saver ALDI can be. This is why I'm going to start blogging about our ALDI savings and experiences again.
