are these prices that you find at the grocery store or are they the prices after you have combined coupons. We never see groceries like milk this cheap!
The prices at my ALDI are a lot more expensive than this.
It’s amazing how much Aldi prices vary across the country! The Aldi by my house is cheaper than the Aldi 20 minutes away. Very weird.
I love to see all the Aldi prices and that encourages me to want to shop at Aldi more! Thanks.
I also plan on looking at the recipes.
Yay! Thanks for the encouragement!
Thank you Brigette, your blog saved me a lot of money. As a single mom struggling with finances I found your blog as a god’s gift.
It’s actually Crystal’s (my sister) blog. Yes, she’s a blessing!
I see heavy cream on your list quite often and just curious what recipes you use it for. Was it for the mashed cauliflower? I tend to use half & half since that’s what i buy for our coffee.
That’s a GREAT question! I do use heavy whipping cream for things like the mashed cauliflower, but mostly I use it in my coffee. I use a mix of half and half and heavy whipping cream because half and half alone doesn’t cut it for me. Haha! I’m alllll about the cream. 🙂 And yeah, I go through a carton of HWC a week, just in my coffee!
