ALDI: I'm out of pasta!

When I made my shopping list this week, I checked my cupboards and realized I was out of pasta!

I still have some boxes of whole wheat pasta, but all the white flour pasta was gone.  This, despite buying up to 24 boxes at a time when pasta brands went on sale and I had coupons, or sometimes when it was low enough even without coupons.  But all those boxes I bought on sale were now gone!

So I bought two 2-pound boxes of pasta at ALDI.  It's just a shade cheaper there than buying two 1-pound boxes of pasta on a BOGO sale at Publix without coupons.

But I'm hearing that the Publix Italian Days sale will start next week, and that means great deals on all kinds of Italian foods!  I hope there will be great deals on pasta and coupons to match!

Here's what I got this week:
