I did a big grocery run at Aldi this week. Again. The grocery prices at other stores just haven't been good recently and we were out of staples because I've been waiting for good prices at regular stores.
I know that shopping at Aldi, I am going to save about 25% off Shop n Save's prices right off the bat. Some items are a little more than that, others a little less. I've worked up my receipts the last few trips, and 25% is a really good estimate.
From now when I shop at Aldi, I am going to roughly figure out how much I saved by going there, and add it to my total. Say I spend 75 dollars at Aldi. I know that I saved about 25 dollars by going there, so I'd add the 25 to my "savings" for the week. No, that's not cheating.
This week's trip:
corn flakes, saltines, stuffing mix, breakfast bars, chicken nuggets, mac n cheese, tortilla chips, tortillas, yogurt, eggs, milk, bread, juice, grapes, soup, chocolate chips, salad, applesauce, refried beans, sour cream, tuna, salad dressing, parmesan cheese, spaghetti sauce, peanut butter, pretzels, hot dogs... etc. For 43.72 out of pocket. I estimate that I saved about 12 dollars by shopping there.
Weekly spending total: 47.97
Weekly savings total: 36.55
YTD spending total: 369.34
YTD savings total: 458.02
