ALDI: Two trips for produce


I've found myself often making two trips to ALDI each week, to take advantage of their produce sales.

I usually go at the beginning of the sales week - Wednesday or Thursday - and get a week's worth of whatever produce is on sale that I use. Then I go back at the end - Monday or Tuesday - and buy another 1-2 week's worth of produce.

I've found that many items go on sale in three-week intervals, so this way I get the most savings without buying too much produce that ends up going bad.

Have you seen this pattern as well? Leave a comment below!

Here's what I got this week:


Trip #1:

2 dozen eggs @ $1.49 = $2.98
2 gallons milk @ $3.19 = $6.38
2 whole wheat bread @ $1.29 = $2.58
1 strawberries @ $1.49
1 blueberries @ $1.39
1 16-oz shredded cheddar @ $3.29

1 Parmesan cheese @ $2.39

I sure wish we lived close enough for two ALDI trips a week. We run out of fruit by Monday...
