Lauren @ Penny for Your Dreams says
I’m always amazed at how little I spend at ALDI—even when I opt for organic, all natural, and gluten free foods! Thanks for sharing! 🙂
Gretchen says
You’re so welcome! Yes, I’m always amazed at how cheap Aldi’s prices are. I especially get excited about the deals on produce! – Gretchen, MSM Team

How’s the cantaloupe? I have sworn off any melons and berries here in AZ where I live. They have not been good the last few years, so this year I won’t being buying them. I always wash, cut and throw out:(
Gretchen says
The cantaloupe is really good! The last few times I’ve purchased them at Aldi, they’ve been extremely sweet and yummy, but that hasn’t always been the case. That’s too bad that they aren’t any good this year in AZ. Our family loves melons and berries so we would be so sad. 🙁 – Gretchen, MSM Team
