Sorry to post this a day late but we had a very busy week!
Aldi Produce
I grabbed only the basics this week plus two pounds of seedless red grapes for $1.99.
Aldi Dairy, Frozen & Meat
Thankfully we have steak and bacon in the freezer so I only needed to purchase chicken and breakfast sausage this week. Purchasing less meat definitely helps to keep the budget lower.
Aldi Pantry Items
Weekly Total: $90.43
December Monthly Total: $90.43
($100/week budget so I am under budget this week — woohoo!)
