ALDI: So easy to overspend

It's so easy to overspend at ALDI, because the prices are so great!

This week, I throttled back a little, and only got items that I really, really needed.  Just the basics.  Dairy, produce, baking supplies, that sort of thing.

Okay, except for one thing.  I found boxes of Apple Rounds - the ALDI version of Apple Jacks - on sale for $1.29.  I decided to pick one up as a treat for my youngest daughter, who is always complaining that we don't get sugared cereals.  Okay, we got one box.  Stop complaining now!

Here's what I got:

Trip 1:

2 gallons milk @ $3.39 = $6.78
2 dozen eggs @ $1.49 = $2.98
1 apple juice concentrate @ 99¢
2 cream cheese @ $1.29 = $2.58
1 16-oz shredded cheddar @ $3.29
1 margarine @ 75¢
1 whole wheat bread @ $1.29
1 baking soda @ 49¢
1 refried beans @ 79¢
1 grape tomatoes @ $1.29
2.01 lb bananas @ 44¢/lb = 88¢

Total spent: $22.11

Trip 2:
