Week #10 - 2009 - a really big shopping week

Aldis canned goods
Aldis produce

Aldis assorted canned good, baking supplies, household items.

I did so much shopping this week. One reason is because of the great deals at Walgreens. The other reason is because we went to Aldis in Edmond, about 60 miles away, while we were nearby doing another errand. I think it is the nicest Aldis we have ever been to, everything was well stocked and the produce was especially fresh. They also had a great sale on cheese. Their canned goods are cheaper than I can get in my town even when the stores have sales.
We bought so much, and I don't expect to need cans of anything or baking supplies for quite some time.
So hopefully even though I spent way over my $75 weekly goal, I won't need to shop much in the coming weeks and my weekly average will go back down.

  5. Susan, you are right about the Aldis vanilla wafers, they are very good! We also cashews and tortilla chips and they are great too.
    I guess my only complaint about Aldis is their "junk food" is so good, so cheap and right there as your first go in.

    Debbie - I do hope this stock up will save me time in the future!

    Rachel and Maisie - I don't always shop like this but it is really nice having the pantry stocked.
