Tips for Aldi this week:
-
There are some rockin’ prices on produce. You will want to incorporate as much of that as possible into your menu. Vegetable soup anyone? Seriously, you could pack that soup with fresh veggies for very little cost this week. To keep down on cost, keep it meatless. Instead throw in some pasta, rice or beans. -
There are times I confuse my children with rabbits because they eat that many carrots. When baby carrots are $.59 a bag? Holla! I buy 10 or 12 bags. At minimum. We eat the carrots raw, incorporate them into a lot of dishes and freeze them. Hot cooked carrots with a touch of brown sugar or honey and butter? My kids go nuts.
-
Broccoli salad is a favorite of my husband and mine. Perfecto for super bowl weekend.
-
An avocado special is perfect for homemade guacamole dip and a yummy addition for wraps.
-
Shake up your dinner with a vegetable tray instead of plain hot cooked vegetables. Hamburgers and a veggies tray is easy and fun.
-
Instead of ordering pizza for the game, buy a few prepared hand tossed pizzas. Of course, it is always cheaper to make homemade pizza, but sometimes that is not convenient. Aldi’s Mama Cozzi pizzas are actually really good. You could serve 4 xtra large cheese pizzas for only $19.99 !
Obviously you can do a lot of other things with great prices on produce, but these are just a few to get your wheels spinning.
