I have been regularly shopping at ALDI for almost a year now and I remain amazed by the savings there are to be had by shopping there. Last weekend I went to Whole Foods for my weekly grocery shopping and my bill was $185. This week I went to ALDI and my bill was $85. I’ll admit that I did buy more meat at Whole Foods but overall…it’s night and day difference.
All that said, I 100% admit that I love Whole Foods for certain products and the overall shopping experience but ALDI is a welcome, budget-friendly addition to my regular rotation.
Here’s a look at what I bought at ALDI today for $85. Note that I was buying some items for an upcoming healthier Super Bowl snack post.
The produce…
- Sweet potatoes
- Pineapple
- Grape Tomatoes
- Strawberries -from Florida!
- Avocados – 0.59 each!
- Cucumber
- Mushrooms
- Arugula
- Spinach
- Organic bananas
Cheese and such…
- Shredded parmesan
- Plain greek yogurt – their big containers are like $3.79!
- Honey goat cheese
- Cream cheese
- Hummus
- Two containers of feta
- Guacamole
- Organic shredded white cheddar
Other good stuff…
- Crest toothpaste
- Sliced prosciutto
- Sliced almonds
- Marinated artichoke hearts
- Smoked uncured applewood bacon – this stuff is dirt cheap, thick cut and amazing. I keep it in the fridge on the regular.
- Organic marinara sauce
- Multi-grain flax flatbread – my #1 favorite brand of “flat out” wrap
- Multigrain pita crackers – these are delicious!
- Italian seasoning
- Chocolate bars (3) – these chocolate bars are a staple in my house!
And an 8-pack of Bounty paper towels.
Not bad, huh?
Are you an ALDI shopper?

I am sitting down to write this post with teary eyes and a heavy heart. On New Year’s Eve we said goodbye to Zoey. It seems like only yesterday that I brought this fluffy nugget home. Many of you have been here with me since Zoey was a puppy. She was the sweetest little sister [...]

It’s hard to believe that it’s been almost a month since I ran the Every Woman’s Marathon! One of the fun things about this year’s race was getting to visit Scottsdale, Arizona. It was my first time in Arizona and while it was a quick trip, I tried to maximize my time there. Here’s a [...]

In keeping with tradition, I’m coming in hot with a last-minute gift guide. As much as I’d like to think that one day I’ll be the kind of person who has their holiday shopping done before Black Friday…it’s just not a likely scenario. And I’m okay with that! I hope this list helps you finish [...]

I am settled in back at home after a very special Thanksgiving in Florida. I cherish all of our trips to Florida but this one was extra meaningful because we had a bigger holiday crew this year. My cousin’s family came down and it was just the best to have a big tableful of people [...]

I am on a three-hour flight home from Scottsdale so it seems like the perfect time to relive and recap yesterday’s Every Woman’s Marathon experience. I had a great day and I’m very proud of the race that I ran. It was a practice in “fun running” and that not every race effort has to [...]
