My Aldi Shopping Trip (Wow, that was easy!)

So, while I was out & about Tuesday,  I ran into Aldi to grab a few things and I have to say again how easy it is to shop there! Don’t get me wrong, I love shopping at other stores too and picking up awesome deals with coupons.  You can spend as little or as much time as you want with coupons and still come out on the other end saving money, so for me,  it’s truly a blessing to be able to utilize coupons!  But, having said that, you cannot beat the convenience & simplicity of shopping at an Aldi. The stores are smaller, parking is a snap, the cashiers are lightning fast. Just remember to bring your own shopping totes and leave the coupons behind since Aldi doesn’t take coupons. As much as I LOVE coupons (and boy, do I love them!), it is nice to have one store where I can leave my big red binder behind, you know what I mean?! Oh and btw, I just wanted to mention that we do not buy that many snacks for ourselves, John always picks up extra snacks for his mom & stepdad. They just don’t get up to Joplin anymore, so they always have certain items that we pick up for them whenever we shop at Aldi. And they are especially seriously addicted to the Puffed Corn, our Aldi doesn’t stock them all the time and when they do carry them we have to pick up at LEAST 4 bags for them so that they’ll last until the next time they’re in stock again. LOL Anyway, onto my shopping trip. 🙂
