Everything looks awesome & your budget is amazing! The broccoli with pancakes for dinner is interesting but other than that looks great 😉

Wow, you have really good aldi prices!!!
In a weird way that’s actually encouraging to me. I rediscovered aldi a few years ago when trying to cut costs, after reading one of your posts. Saved and still save a *ton* over the main store I was shopping at then. 5yrs later, prices up, kids growing, my weekly grocery average is significantly up from what it was then and well over yours; some of that is inflation and some is choice/priorities and I’m usually past guilting myself about it but always evaluating. So from a stewardship perspective I guess it’s refreshing to look at your list/line items and see how you are able to do, and realize that given actual cost differentials I’m not doing half bad 🙂 and aldi is STILL much more cost-effective than that other store 🙂

Aldi prices do vary (interestingly, the one right by my house is significantly more expensive than the one 15 minutes from my house in the same town?!?! So I drive, haha!). Overall, they are still way cheaper than any other mainstream grocery store I’ve ever been to or heard of. Lidl is pretty good, too, but not as widespread.
Thanks for the encouragement! It sounds like you are doing an absolutely amazing job!
