Aldi Grocery Items

We have two boxes of cereal in the pantry so I only needed to purchase two (and we only eat cereal two times a week). I also have one can of pineapple chunks and a can of mandarin oranges in the pantry along with the coconut I will need for my Tropical Fruit Salad.

Aldi Meat & Frozen Items

I purchased lots of convenience products this week because I am driving more (up to 4 hours a day!) now that our second car is out of commission. That increased my spending and put me over budget.

I could have saved money by making pizza crust myself and by purchasing ground beef and making the hamburger patties myself. It is still cheaper to purchase the ready-made pizza from Aldi than to order take out pizza because I am tired.
