It has been forever since I’ve done a grocery haul post, much less one from ALDI. I used to partner with ALDI regularly on blog posts and my time working with them totally converted me into a fan of the brand, especially given all the work they’ve done over the last few years to improve their products and their stores.
Here’s a fun flashback to when I visited the ALDI headquarters and won a smoothie making challenge! 🙂
There is an ALDI pretty close to my house and I’ve been stopping in there 2-3 times a month to do some shopping.
You might remember that I was there a couple of weeks ago and got sucked into their Special Buys section. It is way too much fun to wander through it and find all sorts of things you never knew you needed. Haha.
I took pictures of what I bought yesterday. They are not the greatest photos you’ve ever seen on my blog but you do what you can with a baby who does not care that you are trying to take grocery haul photos! I was holding him on one hip while trying to one-handed arrange the groceries and shoot the photos.
SNACKY STUFF
- Pipe rigate pasta (this should have gone in the pantry photo but oh well)
- Organic cheese crackers
- Organic multi-grain tortilla chips
- Sea salt pita chips
- Shelled pistachios
- HOPE hummus – I was SO thrilled to see them carrying this brand!!!
- Organic natural peanut butter
FRUITS + VEGGIES
I didn’t need much this week…
- Bananas
- Avocados
- Organic baby spinach
- Organic grapes (these were priced SO well!)
- Radishes (still dreaming of this cottage cheese bowl)
MEATS + CHEESES
- Tomato and basil chicken sausage
- Organic colby jack slices
- Organic Mexican shredded blend
- Single serve miso dressing packets (I am SO excited to try these!!!)
- Sweet Italian turkey sausage (to go with pasta and sauce you see below)
- Oven roasted turkey breast slices
- Prosciutto (priced SO well!)
PANTRY STUFF
- Organic fire roasted salsa
- Organic chicken broth
- Tide Free + Clear
- Organic coconut oil
- Marinated artichoke quarters
- Organic diced tomatoes
- Sponges
- Pumpkin pasta sauce
- Pesto
- Chunk white tuna in water
And that’s all! My next grocery haul post will be from Trader Joe’s because I want to go buy allllll of their fall things! 🙂

Happy weekend! Another week in the books! I got three runs in (6.5 miles, 5.5 miles, 5.5 miles) and I have a trail run planned for tomorrow. Total weekly mileage will end up around 30-35 miles depending on if I go for 13 or 17 tomorrow! I’m 16 weeks out from the Golden Ultra so [...]

Happy Memorial Day Weekend. It’s a very rainy one here in Charlotte and while I am a little bummed not to be spending the weekend in Florida with the fam or by the pool at our swim club (just opened for the season!), I’m also welcoming a slower pace and time at home. It’s been [...]

I’m very much enjoying the longer days, cool mornings and warm afternoons and gorgeous blooms. Spring is so lovely [...]

I cannot believe it’s been nearly a month since I completed Moab Run The Rocks! It’s a three-day stage race in Moab, Utah that’s put on by the same race organization, TransRockies Rockies Race Series, that I did my six-day Colorado race with back in August. TransRockies truly excels when it comes to planning and [...]
