ALDI: Why I take pictures of my trips
I'm so glad that I take pictures of all of my shopping trips. I went to blog about my recent ALDI trip and I couldn't find the receipt! So my list below is based on the picture and my recollections of the prices. It might be a little off, but I erred on the side of too much.
My fridge and freezer were still pretty full, so I just got some dairy and the on-sale produce. I had brought my kids with me, and my youngest loves the ALDI chocolate mousse yogurt, so we bought a few. I think she likes it better than ice cream!
2 gallons milk @ $2.69 = $5.38
3 dozen eggs @ $1.39 = $4.07
1 juice concentrate @ 92¢
1 cream cheese @ $1.19
1 Parmesan cheese @ $2.69
4 chocolate mousse yogurt @ 49¢ = $2.96
1 3-lb bag onions @ $1.49
1 broccoli @ $1.19
1 caulflower @ $1.19
1 4-pack tomatoes @ 99¢
Total spent: $22.07

Great job! This is my week off from shopping (I shop bi-weekly), but I am really tempted to go to Aldi and pick up some produce. I know I will need the produce for the coming weeks. And there are some really great deals there right now!
Has your Aldi been open for a while? Mine is fairly new and the eggs are only $.49/dz - milk $1.99/gal, but I fear those prices are not going to last forever. This week eggs went up to $.69/dz - still better than anywhere else, but that is a 40% hike!
My store is also fairly new - it opened December 1. The eggs were 99¢ per dozen until two weeks ago. Milk was $1.99 when the first ALDI store (not the store I go to now) opened last year. Slowly, the prices have gone up. Still better than Publix by a mile!
Also, I've found that grocery prices are higher in South Florida than in many parts of the country. I attribute this to the high cost of trucking groceries down here - and with gas prices rising, this means food prices will be rising as well.
My Aldi's eggs are .29 but milk is 2.59
Enjoy the egg prices, ours was like .79 until December then they went up to 1.65 a dozen still cheaper than most places unless one of our local stores has a 10 for 10 sale (you normally don't have have to buy 10 but still get them for 1.00)
