Aldi Produce
I found a few good produce deals this week:
cucumbers $.29 each
3 pounds red onions $.99
bag garden salad $.59
8 ounce package of mushrooms $1.29 each
bananas $.44/lb
pint grape tomatoes $.99
pint blueberries $1.79
celery $1.29
3 pounds sweet potatoes $1.99 (not the lowest price but good for our area)
limes $.15 each (we use these in our drinking water)
Aldi Dairy & Frozen Items
It is much cheaper to make your own biscuits, but I needed a quick meal for this week so I purchased these canned biscuits for $1.19 each to use with some bacon we have in the freezer. I was also happy to see that eggs have gone down to $1.19 a dozen.
Aldi Other Grocery Items
I was excited to find a one pound bag of popcorn kernels for $1.69. Air popped popcorn is one of the cheapest snacks you can make.
Aldi Meat
I purchased a lot of meat this week. My kids had requested wings again and Aldi had these on special for $1.49/lb. The pork chops were $2.78/lb and the boneless skinless chicken breast was $1.89/lb. I spent extra to buy ground sirloin rather than regular ground beef ($3.99/lb).
Not pictured: Udi’s Frozen Gluten Free Pizza Crusts from Publix for my daughter who has to eat gluten free ($4.99)
Weekly Total: $131.60
August Monthly Total: $272.05
($125/week budget for six people so I am $6.60 over budget for this week. )

You are certainly an awesome planner and I wish to be like you Kimberlee 🙂 Raising four teenager with this amount of planning and management; Big salute and hats off! It reminds me of my grocery shopping that is pending from a long time….phewww
Thanks Chelsea! One step at a time – it took me a while to find a system that works for me. 🙂
Kimberlee, I’ve been wondering: didn’t you used to have a family of 5 (with three teenagers)? Where did this extra teenager come from? (I apologize if you posted about this in the past and I might have missed it; and I also apologize if it’s a personal situation. If so, of course don’t feel like you have to answer! I was just wondering if I missed something along the way…)
Hi Claire – I have always had four children but my youngest turned 13 at the end of last year – thus the “addition” of a teenager. 🙂 Sorry for the confusion.
I love Aldi’s also; my favorite store. I always by frozen meat there though except for the steak. I will have to look if they have fresh chicken at our store and the price difference. I took a calculator with me recently and kept track of my spending. Another time I just did it in my head, rounding total up or down. It was nice to get to the checkout and know what the total was going to be and not be surprised. Also, it kept me on track with my list and budget.
Great idea to take a calculator Julie – I forget about half the time. 🙂
