I was late getting to the store this week so I’m posting the grocery photos today.
Aldi Grocery Items (+ produce pictured above) – I spent $56.55. The 3 ounce bottles of spices were 99 cents and the stir fry vegetables were $2.99.
Aldi Produce Deals:
Grape Tomatoes $1.49/pint
Cantaloupe $1.69
Cucumbers $.55 each
Mango $.59 each
Plums $.29 each
Avocado $.79 each
Publix – I picked up some organic items that Aldi doesn’t sell. The Applegate Organic lunch meat was on sale for $4.00 a pack and the yogurt tubes were on sale for $3.50. I freeze these for the kids to eat as snacks. My total was $27.18.
Walmart (plus a large bag of tortilla chips for $2.98) – I had to stop by Walmart for some non-food items so I picked up boneless skinless chicken breasts for $1.98/lb. I also found chicken thighs for $.98/lb so I added BBQ chicken to the menu instead of the Asian salad I had on the menu.
Weekly Total: $109.79
July Monthly Total: $230.60
($125/week budget for six people so I am $15.21 under budget for this week.)

So glad to see your weekly shopping trips back!
Thanks Jen – it’s a little extra work but I think it helps for readers to see what I am actually purchasing each week. 🙂
Aldi is one of my favorite places to shop for saving money and I am lucky there is one less than a mile from my house. I’m amazed at how well you feed your family on the amount you spend.
Thanks Cindy – shopping at a discount store definitely helps. 🙂
