So, I headed to Aldi late morning-ish today to pick up a few essentials. I was already totally stocked up fresh produce from my last 2 trips, so I just grabbed a few staples. I was surprised how wiped out they were today, I guess they hadn’t had a chance to replenish their shelves. I shouldn’t be surprised though, I know being the only Aldi in Joplin, they get a TON of traffic, so keeping the shelves full must be challenging. Now, don’t get me wrong, I love my coupons and continue to use them at other stores, but Aldi still remains one of my favorite places to grocery shop.
Anyway, I didn’t get everything on my list, but was happy to find markdowns in the meat department again, woot! I also noticed they had quite a few non-food items on clearance towards the front of the store at checkout and also had several markdowns throughout the store. They had 4-packs of canned sparkling juice marked down to $1.25 which was tempting, but I passed this time. Anyway, here’s what I ended up with on my Aldi shopping trip today:
- 2 packs of Chicken of Chicken Thighs (about 4 lbs. ea.), both had $2.00 off coupons, so each pack was $2.69 & $2.39 after the discounts, so worked out as a great deal!
- Gallon Skim Milk – $2.81
- Saltine Crackers (16 oz.) – $0.89
- Benton’s Fig Bar Cookies (13 oz.) – $0.99
- Canned Whole Tomatoes (28 oz.) – $0.99
- Tomato Paste (6 oz.) – $0.39
- Potato Chips (10.5 oz.) – $1.49
- Hot Dog Buns (8 ct.) – $0.89
- Honey Wheat Bread (24 oz.) – $1.29
- Cheese Singles (16 ct.) – $0.99
- Taco Seasoning – $0.35 (I seriously need to start making my own taco seasoning as much as we go through it around here!)
- Pinto Beans (29 oz.) – $1.19
- Final Cost $18.11
