I took 2 trips to my Aldi store this week. The first trip’s sales ended earlier this week (but the Avocados are still at the rockin’ price of only $0.39 this week too through 5/11 in my area).

I love Aldis for their produce deals and this week was no exception!

• 2 Limes $0.29 ea.

I love Aldis for their produce, I try to make a trip there every week to check out their weekly deals. They simply cannot be beaten on some of their produce prices. When I was up visiting my mom in Iowa Easter week, I stopped in at an Aldis there and noticed that they had Skim Milk Gallons on sale for only $1.99. WOW! I have never seen milk here that cheap, what an awesome deal!

• 2 Garden Salads $0.39 ea.

• 2 Mushroom 8 oz. packages $0.69 ea.

• Pork Rinds $1.19

• Final Cost $3.51

My favorite thing about Aldi is their great prices on produce and this week was no exception!

• 2 Onions 3 lb. Bags $.69 ea

• Carrots 2 lbs. $.59

• Cabbage about 2 lbs. $.79

• Pork Rinds $1.19

• Mayonnaise 32 oz. $1.99 (I checked around, this was still the best deal on mayo this week even with the coupons I had for other brands)

• Final Cost $6.23

There are several things I really like about Aldi stores. The lines are always very fast, they are so efficient there! And I don’t have to mess with coupons. Don’t get me wrong, I dearly LOVE my coupons, but it’s nice to take a break on occasion and leave the coupons behind. I also love their produce, I live in a smaller town and we don’t have a ton of choices for fresh produce and Aldi often has the best deals. Today is a good example of that.

• 4 Avocados $.49 ea

• Baby Carrots 1 lb. $.49

• 3 lb. bag Onions $1.29

• Gallon Skim Milk $2.68

• Bag Cheese Puffs $.99

• Bag Pork Rinds $1.19 (these used to be $.99)

• Final Cost $8.57

Aldi’s has a great sale on produce this week. Their produce and milk are the main things I go there for. I used to always buy eggs there too, but recently Walgreens has had the cheapest eggs in town, if you can believe that! Some Aldi’s have their Gallon Milk on sale super cheap, as low as $1.69, so check your local ad!

• 2 bags of 3 lb. Onions $.49 ea (WOW!)

• 10 lb. bag of Potatoes $1.39

• Gallon Skim Milk $2.28

• Final Cost $4.87

Wow, Aldi’s great produce deals continue! I ran in to get some milk and was surprised to find the price of Skim milk had jumped up to over $2.50 a gallon. I passed on that, but a couple other great deals.

• Dozen large eggs $.78

• 4 pack Tomatoes $.79

• 3 Pack Multi-colored Peppers $1.29

• Final Cost $3.00

I love the simplicity of Aldi’s. I can leave my coupons at home for this trip and it’s usually a quick & simple. And I love that the cashiers are lightning fast, wow do they know what they’re doing or what?! Aldi’s had a great sale on produce this week, I went twice (forgot to take pictures for the 1st trip). Here’s what I got today:

• 4 pack Tomatoes $.79

• 2 bags Salad Mix $.49 ea

• 3 lb. bag Yellow Onions $.69

• Grand Total $2.48, a great price for produce!

I hadn’t been to Aldi’s in awhile so I ran by to check out what deals they had. The price of staples like Milk and Eggs have gone up in general in this area, so I wanted to price Aldi’s. They had gone up too, but not as much as some other stores. It was swamped, so I didn’t hang around too long.

Milk 2% Gallon $2.33 (cheapest I’ve seen this week)
Yellow Onions 3 lb. bag $1.29
Pork Rinds 3 bags $.99 ea
Cheese Puffs $.99
Dozen Large Eggs $.84 (cheapest I’ve seen this week)
Total $8.98

Ok, I am wayyy behind on my store deals this week. My first trip this week was on Tuesday to Aldis. Good ol’ reliable Aldis. When I go there, I know I’m always go to save money, even without the help of my trusty coupon binder. My deals:

3 bags Pork Rinds $.99 ea
Dozen large eggs $.56
2 cans Black Olives $.99 ea
Jar of Green Olives $.99
1 Can Butter beans $.65
Saltine Crackers $.89
Final Cost $8.75
