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

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

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!

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

Wow, my Aldi’s yesterday was so quiet! As a matter of fact, every where I went yesterday was slow! It was so nice not to have that “rushed” feeling in a crowded store. My deals:

2 bags of Pork Rinds $.99 ea (cheapest in town)
3-one dozen eggs $.56 (no one beats this price yet)
1 pack of 3 Green Bell Peppers $.99 (can’t beat that price either!)
Gallon Skim Milk $2.04 (once again, cheapest in town)
Final Cost $7.01

Aldi’s was quick and easy yesterday, not too many people were there for a change. And as much as I love my coupons, it’s refreshing to go into a store without my massive coupon binder, since Aldi doesn’t take coupons. Here’s my deals:

2 1 dozen large eggs $.58 ea (still the cheapest in town)
Pork rinds (yes, someone on our household is most definitely addicted to pork rinds, I pick them up every time I go to Aldi’s lol) $.99
Carrots 2 lb. bag $.99
Skim Milk Gallon $2.11
Half & Half 32 oz. $1.99
Final Cost $7.59

I love Aldi’s, it’s almost always short and sweet, you don’t have to worry about coupons! Here’s my deals today:

3 bags of pork rinds $.99 ea (yes, our household is definitely into pork rinds lol)
2 Dozen eggs $.56 ea dozen (cheapest price in town)
Skim Milk Gallon $2.01 (cheapest price in town)
Total $6.39

I usually get produce at Aldis, but it all looked pretty wilty when I went, so I passed on this trip.

Phew! I just got back from a SCORCHER of a shopping trip. I started this morning, I made several stops today and it was 105 degrees with the heat index by the time I got back today. Yowsa! So, let me tell you, I am delighted to be back home in the comfort of air conditioning! So, here’s my Aldis deal today:

3 pack of Green Bell Peppers $1.69
4 pack Tomatoes $.99
10 pack of Flour Tortillas $.99
2 dozen Large Eggs $.56 ea
2 bags of Pork Rinds $.99 ea
Total: $7.10

Remember: Aldis doesn’t take coupons, so you can leave the coupons behind for this trip!
