Aldi

My trips to Publix and Kroger have been few and far between recently...part of that is because we are now getting fresh tomatoes, cucumbers, basil and peppers from our garden...and we get other produce/meat at Trader Joes/farmers markets.  Another reason is because we're stocked on everything we use regularly...and we've really cut back on processed food, which is unfortunately alot of what is on sale.  As a result, I don't have as much to post!  I did stop by Aldi this morning though since I had to get my car worked on right across the street.

Strawberries @ $1.29
Broccoli @ $1.59
(2) Pudding @ .45 each, so .90 total
Kidney Beans @ .55
(2) OJ concentrate @ $1.09 each, so $2.18 total

I estimate I saved about $5 on these items, comparing them to Publix prices.  Aldi isn't always cheaper, but in terms of produce, they usually have mega chain grocery stores beat by far in that category!  They definitely have the cheapest/best looking broccoli around for me!

Since I was near an Aldi this afternoon, I decided to stop by and see if I could find anything good.  And as you can see, it was a good trip!  I was so happy to see the .99 strawberries, first at Super H Mart, and now at Aldi!  Love it!  I also plan on making some pineapple pork chops later in the week and have been meaning to pick up some pineapples... 

It's hard to tell you my savings against a store like Kroger or Publix because Aldi's prices tend to be lower anyway....but I'm going to guestimate on my savings percentage, just to give you an idea that Aldi is a great place to shop for a few select items!

Total Spent: $8.70
Savings: 45%
(My estimate is that I would've spent about $15 for all of this at Publix, without coupons)

Self-Rising Flour @ $1.35
Baking Soda @ .45
(2) All-Natural Black Beans @ .55 each, so $1.10 total
(2) Kidney Beans @ .55 each, so $1.10 total
(2) Frozen Orange Concentrate @ $1.09 each, so $2.18 total
Chunk Pineapple @ .89
Taco Mix @ .39
Strawberries @ .99
