An Aldi Grocery Haul

March 15, 2017 By Deanna Piercy 1 Comment

My grocery haul posts are usually following one of the monthly shopping trips my daughter and I do together. Our last grocery haul was February 7th and we won’t be doing our March trip until the 28th. I do still have a lot of staples and frozen items on hand and could make do with just some fresh produce and dairy. However, since we are doing a 1950s menu this week I needed to go shopping for that.

Sunday evening I went to Aldi and got everything I’ll need for this week. I already had a small roast and some ground beef in the freezer. We won’t use all of the produce, milk, cereal, bread or eggs I bought so this haul should see us through until our big shopping trip on the 28th.

  • whole grain white bread (2 loaves)

Total: $99.99

That’s by far the most I’ve ever spent at Aldi in a single visit but I usually just fill in between my monthly shopping trips. Plus this 1950s menu plan uses a lot more meat than we usually eat in a week. I can already see that it’s providing plenty of leftovers for lunches, though. Last night I made spaghetti and meatballs for dinner. We had enough leftovers to send with David and Chris for lunch today plus I filled two containers which I’m taking to my parents for their dinner tonight. I’m pretty sure we’ll have leftovers from almost every meal on the menu this week.

 

 

Do you want to eat a healthy, organic, grass fed diet but don’t think you can afford it? My friend, Victoria of A Modern Homestead, explains how they do it on less than $200 a month. Click here to find out how:

I’m loving my Instant Pot. If you decide to purchase one, I’d be forever grateful if you’d use my affiliate link. It doesn’t cost you a penny more but I receive a small portion of the purchase price from Amazon. Thank you for supporting Life With Dee!

    Yeah, I did notice your menu had a lot more meat than normal on it this week.

    It might be more than you normally spend, but I don’t think the total is too bad considering how much you got.
