My husband and I work full-time. We have two kids and a very
busy life. And expenses. Our goal is to find easy ways to save money every
month - without feeling like we have a whole new penny pinching job!
I have forever been trying to save money on our grocery bill.
Sometimes our food be can be about $1,000 per month! I have tried
couponing (worked for about a month...then I gave up). I have tried shopping at
Costco/Sam's. I have even tried only going to the grocery store once a week.
But honestly, with two children in the house I often ended up making
quick runs to the market and spending $20-$30 for one thing! Ha!
Today, I finally decided to try something new. Friends and
Facebookers have forever been talking about Aldi's. Tonight, I decided to
try it to see if it really is worth all the hype.
I bought most of my groceries at Aldi's and then went to Schnuks
to write down the price of the closest product on my receipt. Line item by line
item. LOL it took some time.
I saved about $30. I didn't have to clip any coupons.
Here are my actual groceries! And the price today at Schnucks
for the same products.
I can totally shop at Aldi's and make a dent in my grocery
budget but not waste a ton of time.
I am so excited to share this with you!! Just remember to
bring a quarter for the grocery cart and bags to bag your groceries. :)
