Here is my latest Aldi shopping trip and on little adventure I was happy to find some nice markdowns! I kinda struck out on the fresh veggies this time, so I was pretty happy to find some other deals. It had been a long time since I had found any markdowns at all in their meat department, but they had a bunch when I went on Sunday. I also found the snack bars on clearance too, so I picked up a box of those as well. Anyway, onto the details…

  • Black Seedless Grapes 2 lbs – $1.58
  • Radishes (big bag) – $0.99
  • 2 Avocados – $0.33 each
  • 3 Packages of Chicken Thighs, normally $1.19 lb, each package was marked down $2.00
  • Fiber Now Bars – on Clearance for $1.29
  • Clancy’s Potato Chips 10.5 oz – $1.49

Here is my latest Walgreens shopping trip from earlier this week along with quick stops at Food4Less and Aldi. I headed out early in the morning hoping to avoid traffic and it was actually really nice. I was able to find everything I was looking for at Walgreens (which is always a plus!). I did not find everything I needed at Food4Less, so I made an impromptu trip to Aldi as well and picked up the rest of my items there. Anyhoo, here’s how my trips went.
