Back In Town And Already Finding Deals At Aldi

It's been over a week since you guys have heard from me, and that is because we were out of town.  Now I brought my laptop with me on the trip, but once we got there, I decided not to use it.  In fact, I never even took it out of the bag and turned it on!  And it felt fabulous! ;)

But now I'm back, and trying to get back into the swing of things and plan for the new year (I'll share some of that a bit later).

We got home around 3pm yesterday, unpacked the van, discovered our betta fish was dead, tried to do laundry only to remember that I was completely OUT of laundry detergent, grabbed my pre-written list of things I was not shopping for before we left, and headed out to Aldi.

We had run out of a lot of things, in fact our fridge was nearly empty!  Were it not for my dad and his chickens and citrus trees (he sent us back with eggs and oranges) I think it would have only contained a single slice of cheese (of which I forgot to purchase more), and half a tub of margarine, and also some aging onions.

So off I went, and as usual I found a couple of things that were not on my list that I simply could not pass up.

#1:  Ham.  

All of their hams were $3 off, making this one that I brought home just $6.15.


We will slice some, and dice some, use some for sandwiches, use some for noodle salads, and freeze the rest.

#2:  Stuffing.

Herb stuffing to be exact.   It's my favorite of their stuffing flavors, and it is a seasonal item so they only sale it twice a year during the winter holidays and Easter.  My husband bought 4 boxes before we left when he saw it marked down for $0.69, but when I went in yesterday, it was marked down even farther...just $0.25 a box!



I bought 8.

They also had lots of their toys and candies reduced in price, so be sure to look all around for seasonal markdowns next time you are in Aldi, or perhaps hurry over before they are all gone!

Aldi Trip: Lots Of Markdowns!

I was needing quite a few things from Aldi this week, but not quite as many as I ended up coming home with!   I really am a sucker for things marked down.  If its something we use, i have a really hard time passing up a good deal even if we don't need it right away.

Case in point:




That's over 5lbs of ground beef for $7.03.   Now right now, I have a TON  (okay maybe slightly less) of uncooked meat in my freezer, but none of it is ground beef.   I could have easily passed this up, but I didn't.   I did talk myself out of buying a 2nd package, though.

In the front of the store, there was a large markdown rack with lots of Italian-y things on it.   We like Italian-y things.   There were also some breakfast-y things.  We like those, too.



Roasted Garlic Alfredo Sauce-  $0.85 each.

Four Cheese Tortellini--$1 each  (these actually rang up $1.49 on my receipt.   I went back and showed the cashier-who I believe was a manager, and he simply opened the drawer and handed me $1).

"Cream of Wheat" -$1

Steel Cut Oats  $1.25


Now I'm pretty new to this whole healthy foods thing, so somebody please tell me the difference between a steel cut oat and a regular oat, and anything important I may need to know about them.

There were also a LOT of produce markdowns ($0.29 celery, $0.49 cranberries, $0.49 sweet potatoes, $0.69 yellow onions), but as I've ordered my Bountiful Basket I wanted to wait until Saturday to see what I would get.  I did get a bag of red delicious apples because my girls can't seem to get enough apples, so even if we get apples Saturday, I've no doubt they will still get used up.

Here's everything:

Spent roughly $53.  Add that with the $15 for the produce basket, and I've used up $68 of my $70 for the week, so hopefully that is all I need! ;)


I will add one thing that I noticed that really impressed me.  Aldi's yogurt...has no artificial dyes in it!   I've had issues with yogurts before with my oldest daughter.   Aspartame and red dye hype her up beyond belief!.  Yogurts in the past have contained both of those.   Aldi's yogurt...carrot juice for coloring!  NICE!  One less worry for me!  And only $0.39!

Today's Aldi Trip

I had a pretty big shopping list today, and I added a few things onto it this morning to make freezer lunches with.   The one thing I was all out of was ground beef, and I really didn't feel like going to the other store I normally buy inexpensive ground beef at  (I find Aldi's meats to be a bit pricey compared to the local hispanic grocery chains).

Imagine my surprise when I found a lady slapping $2 off stickers on 93% lean ground turkey packages.  Originally $3.49, that made them just $1.49 for 1.25lbs.  That works out to $1.19/lb.   Now I've gotten 70% lean ground beef for $1.00/lb but not recently (I've been paying $1.69/lb at El Rio Grande), so I thought this was an amazing deal, so I snatched up all 5 packs that had the stickers.  $7.50 total for 6.25lbs of ground turkey.  =)

I also found Easter candy marked down to $0.50, pink frosting tubs marked down to $0.25, and Spring colored sprinkles marked down to $0.75, so I picked up some of those, too.   I mean, I do have two girls with birthdays come up (one next week!  Eek!)

So here's everything I came home with:




Total spent:   $54.32  and that included some expensive items like 18 rolls of TP and coffee.

Unless there's something super great happening in the ads tomorrow, this will likely be in until early next week.

Aldi Deals 4/18-4/24 (Time To Stock Up On Bell Peppers!)



Aldi has some seriously insane produce prices this week!


Tomatoes on the vine    $0.49 for 1lb. package

White Or Crimini Mushrooms  $0.69 for 8oz. package

Broccoli Crowns  $0.99 for 1lb. package  (I just paid $1.39 for one on Monday)

Cauliflower  $0.99 each

Zucchini  $0.49 for 1lb package

Multi-colored Bell Peppers (3 per package)  $1.29 per package.

^^Now those are what I'm truly excited about!  This price works out to just $0.43 per pepper, and I have *NEVER* seen them that cheap!  This is a stock the freezer price to me!

These aren't just small little bell pepper outcasts, either!  Here's a pack I bought Monday for $1.99 (still a great price~just $0.66 each!)


See?  They're huge!  I plan to buy are least 4 bags this week to slice up for the freezer.  Love tossing some of these into an alfredo or a salad!

Aldi Trip 4/16

I'm being a lazy blogger today.  After oversleeping this morning, and with school being out today, I did not take the time after my quick shopping excursion to lay out my groceries and take a proper picture...

I did lay out a few highlights, like my whole ham I got for $3 off, making it roughly $1/lb.  $7.90 for the whole thing!  I plan to slice it up and freeze packets for lunch meat.



You can see I came home with 5 large grocery bags FULL (because I PACK those things down!).

I spent just $47.74, including the ham, a 10lb bag of rice, carrots, broccoli, tri-color bell peppers, bananas, strawberries, cantaloupe, pineapple, milk, and 4 rolls of Easter cookie dough marked down to just $0.39...among other things.  I stocked up on some lunch items like hot dogs and mac & cheese  (favorites of my next guest who is coming on Thursday!) and a few snack items to toss in the lunch box or munch on after school.

Aldi is pretty much my go to store these days.  I buy my necessities there, and spend under $50 most weeks (sometimes under $30...this was a big trip!) and then use the rest of my grocery budget to hunt down things at stock-up prices elsewhere with coupons.  Those deals were pretty sparse this week, so this might be all the shopping I do!
