Gretchen,
Something you may want to consider if you use a lot of olive oil: Try buying it at Sam’s Club this weekend while they are having their free open house. It comes in a 3 Liter bottle for $17 (according to the price I see online right now). That’s only a little bit cheaper, but check your individual store; mine was less than $15 just recently.
We don’t have an Aldi’s here, but I just did a quick online price comparison for that and the raisins (they are a mere .006 cents cheaper per ounce at Sam’s) and tortillas are also .10 each at Sam’s. So, though not everyone has an Aldi’s , we can still get some of those great prices in the west at Sam’s Club!
Amanda says
Aldi’s has bags of chicken breasts which are usually right around $5.99 a bag! Great trips!

Thanks for the tip on the Extra Virgin Olive Oil at Aldi’s!
Kristin says
Looks like your Mama raised some equally awesome daughters. 🙂

I printed off my Kroger digital coupons and it was only then that I saw the fine print about that Colgate toothpaste coupon having a max value of $1. I’m going to have to look for the kids Crest for $1 – thanks!

I agree your mom is the best! =)
