ALDI: Stocking back up!

I went to ALDI on Wednesday to restock after the Passover holiday. We were out of lots of food - on Tuesday - pretty much all that was in my fridge was half a gallon of milk, half a dozen eggs, and a few veggies. Oh, and some wine. So were were in desperate need for some food!

I've pretty much figured out which produce I should buy at the produce store and which I should buy at ALDI. ALDI has the best prices on apples, bananas, baby carrots, and bags of lettuce. The produce store has better prices otherwise - and that's not even counting their 50% off sales on whatever produce they want to get out of the store that particular day.

And even better for ALDI - this particular day I found bunches of bananas for buy one, get one free!  At 22¢ per pound, that price can't be beat anywhere.   And in the clearance aisle, I found peanut butter chips for 50¢ per bag.  I used them in my chewy chocolatey cookies recipe, and the kids adored them!

Here's what I got at ALDI:

1 2-lb package tilapia @ $5.99
1 lb. butter @ $2.29
1 8-oz brick cream cheese @ 1.29
1 gallon milk @ $1.99
