Aldi Trip

Aldi lured me in with cheap eggs -- .49 a dozen. And I couldn't help but buy a few more items. My closest Aldi is about 20 to 25 minutes away, or I would go more often. They have great prices on most of the basics -- eggs, milk, bread, oatmeal and usually produce. I even recommend their Mama Cozzi pizzas. Just $2.29 for a great cheese pizza.

However, I went into sticker shock when I saw the price of a can of peas .69. You can get tasty frozen vegetable on sale with coupons for free-.5o. Peaches were $1.49 a can! Like many stores their prices have increased over the last few years. I find their prices a little cheaper than Kroger. Another bonus is to get in and out of the store quickly!

Spent $46.46 (Including about $16 in produce. Fresh produce is one of the challenges to our budget.)

Here are a few prices from the Franklin store. Prices vary.
Saltines .89 (.88 at Kroger for their value crackers)
Granola $1.69 (hubs likes this brand best, with sale and coupon is usually under $1 at Publix)
Frozen OJ .99 (same as Kroger)
Wheat Bread $1.19
Red Seedless grapes $2.99 for 2 lbs
Gold Potatoes $2.99 for 5 lbs
Red Onions $1.49
Peaches .39 each
Fresh Garlic .89
Canned Salmon $1.99 (same as Kroger)
Pecans $2.49 (splurge for me)
Bouillon Cubes $1.29
Oatmeal $1.79

Not pictured one watermelon, which rolled down the driveway. LOL!
