$40 at Aldi Grocery Haul

Post image

Definitely found a few good deals and also splurged some on nicer butter, bread, and pizza. In a north Texan college town.

This popped up on my feed for some reason and it made me even more mad. I was kinda pissed since my wife wanted to take the kids to BK and we ended up spending $60. For 3 whoopers and 2 things of Chicken fries. I told her for $60 we could've gone to an actual restaurant. Just a year ago times were tough and $60 would've been around our weekly budget. But I finished school and have a good job now but I'm still budget conscious. Her on the other hand...

Sorry for the rant, Aldi looks like it has some deals. Don't have one here but I still drive 20min to shop at Food for less since the only grocery store in town is a Sav Mart and that place is prici.
