This week I shopped only at Aldi. To keep costs low for the gluten free items we shop sales, buy GF products from Aldi and order items from Vitacost (click here to grab a FREE $10 credit!).

Aldi Produce

The best produce deals this week were the pint of grape tomatoes for $1.69, 2 pound bag of plums for $1.99 and 3 pound bag of California navel oranges for $2.99.

The Aldi Frozen, Dairy and Meat

I once again splurged on pre-made ground beef patties for a quick and easy dinner. I could have saved more by purchasing ground beef rather than pre-made patties.

Aldi Pantry Items

I’m so glad that Aldi is carrying gluten free items now! My daughter loves the GF cereal.

Weekly Total: $114.41

April Monthly Total: $114.41

($125/week budget so I am on track again this week — woohoo!)
