Meijer and Aldi shopping trip
Well I was trying to make it on two weeks with what I purchased last week, but I found myself getting into the store for a few of the sale items along with getting some items that I missed for completing meals!
Also, one of these days I am going to write down grocery store prices of items that I get on a regular basis from Aldi's or Save A Lot so I can really know how much I am saving when I shop at the "cheaper" stores.
I did very well at Meijer this week picking up some of the sale deals along with using coupons, I almost saved more than I spent!! I spent $1.07 more than I saved! Not bad considering that I needed to get a couple of things that were not on sale or price drop.
