This week I shopped exclusively at Aldi.

Aldi Produce

(not pictured: 4 limes)

Onions, sweet potatoes and celery were the best buys this week.

Aldi Meat and Dairy

I purchased carne picada for my Teriyaka Steak Stir-fry this week (enough to last two meals) and chicken thighs that were on sale..

Aldi Pantry Items

The roasted pistachios were a splurge at $5.99 but I was still able to stay on budget for the week.

Weekly Total: $98.81

November Monthly Total: $98.81

($100/week budget so I am slightly under budget  — woohoo!)
