Okay so this post isn't really about showing anybody any money... but it is about showing some savings. Over the past few years my husband and I have seen our grocery bill climb higher and higher. Mainly due to me not planning our meals or coupon clipping. I will venture to say an average grocery bill per month is just a few hundred dollars less than our mortgage. Very sad...yes I know. In an effort to cut down on cost and be more practical I decided to start coupon clipping and subscribing to a myriad of money-saving websites. I will list a couple of those websites shortly. But for now I just had to post my most recent shopping trip. Let me just say that I was pretty proud of myself. I visited our local Aldi (www.aldi.com) and was amazed at how cheap the products were. If you aren't familiar with Aldi, here is a brief rundown. Everything in store is generic brand for a lot less. You bring your own bags to cart your groceries or you can purchase bags in store. You bag your own groceries and rent a shopping cart for $0.25 which you are refunded if you return the cart.
Here is what I got:
Apple Crunchies cereal
Cocoa Rice cereal
2 boxes of Whole wheat pasta
Lite String cheese
Turkey tenderloin
Fresh strawberries
3 packs of 93% ground beef
2 packs of ground turkey
Fiber now granola bars
2 boxes onion soup mix
Chili w/beans
2 cans of sloppy joe
2 cans evaporated milk
3 boxes Fat Free chicken broth
1 jar pasta sauce
Oatmeal raisin cookies
1 bag baked potato chips
4 paper bags (to bag groceries)
I got all this for $49.34!!! This is actually 2 weeks worth of meals for my entire family (minus pets) for less than $50.00. Can I get a WHOOP WHOOP?!?!?!?!
