My next stop is Save-A-Lot and mark more things off. When I travel to Brandon for something else--usually my monthly Sam's run, I go to Aldi's on the way and sometimes, I end up back at Aldi's because the prices are too high at Sam's...last but not least, when I finish my rounds and still have major items on m y grocery list--I visit Sweetbay or Publix, but by this time, I usually only have a couple of items left and it seems that it isn't worth the gas.<br /><br />This is how we have survived stretching our paychecks out over the summer and meeting all our bills at the same time.Dixiananoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4966437674263982409.post-27135139839591550282010-09-22T18:16:18.539-04:002010-09-22T18:16:18.539-04:00I love Aldi!

My favorite part of Aldi is the amazing deal on ground turkey.. $2.50 lb! I now use ground turkey in everything from tacos to lasagna. It is healthier, cheaper, and tastes great.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08489008506564359365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4966437674263982409.post-86614760158478972822010-09-22T15:15:08.127-04:002010-09-22T15:15:08.127-04:00Ok T-Dawg, you KNOW I love Aldi!!!
If you want to...Ok T-Dawg, you KNOW I love Aldi!!! <br />If you want to save money, that's the place! Their Clancy products are fantasic! They are better (I think) than the regular brand name chips in any store. The tortilla blue chips and the fritos type corn chips are a great flavor, and a fraction of the cost of expensive chips. Their frozen foods are a great buy also at half the price of other grocery stores. Aldi also has "good things" in the fridge case. Great salsa, great varieties of cheeses, all at low prices. The only bad thing about singing Aldi's praises, is that a little known secret will get out, and people will over run the place!!!!sftcmthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11665519594061977988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4966437674263982409.post-29052873278764264072010-09-22T12:34:35.421-04:002010-09-22T12:34:35.421-04:00We have an Aldi here in Greenville, but it's o...We have an Aldi here in Greenville, but it's on the other side of town from me. I used to be really great about making two grocery lists..an aldi one and one for the things I couldn't get there. Then I would go while Ella was at Pre-School so that I only had one child with me while I'm bagging up my own stuff ;) Lately I have been unorganized and usually run into whatever store I'm near to grab stuff last minute!! Shame on me!!!! This was a great reminder of how much I saved. Even with a little drive, the savings were still worth it! I'm going to start my Aldi list back up!Laci Stricklandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10525679149135297524noreply@blogger.com
