ALDI: Simplified shopping

This summer, I'm keeping my shopping simple.  Or rather, simple for me.  Instead of hitting several different stores to get the best deals, I'm limiting my shopping to Publix for the deals, the drug stores on the weekend, and otherwise picking up what I need at ALDI.

I may not be saving the absolute maximum, but I know that I'm getting a good price there.  And that makes my summer a whole lot less complicated.

Here's what I got at ALDI:


ALDI trip 1:

2 gallons milk @ $2.99 = $5.98
3 apple juice concentrate @ 99¢ = $2.97
1 cottage cheese @ $1.99
2 cream cheese @ $1.19 = $2.38
1 celery @ $1.19
1 package bananas @ 73¢
1 strawberries @ $1.29
1 blueberries @ $1.29
1 baby carrots @ 99¢
1 3 lb apples @ $3.39
1 green peppers @ $1.29

Total out of pocket: $40.00 (neat, huh?)
