Shopping Again

I have gone shopping again for the next two weeks of dinner. I will write about the menu tomorrow or Monday. I have managed to keep our groceries down to about $400 this past month. This includes paper products and cleaning items. I will give a more detailed shopping cost next month. Earlier I wrote about laundry soaps at Aldi. I have some prices so you can compare. They have their Laundry soap that is called Tandil 2X Ultra that is comparable to Tide 2X Ultra in both regular and bleach alternative. It costs $6.99 for a 100 oz bottle. Their fabric softener is comparable to Ultra Downy it comes in 2 scent, Mountain Fresh and Spring Time Fresh. It is $2.99 for 51 oz of product. I also can see significant savings with the cereals they sell. They have kids cereals, raisin bran, mini wheat's, oatmeal, granola, and cereal like special K. They all cost around $2.00 with most of them at $1.89. They are also constantly changing their inventory and providing special items at different times of the year. During Christmas there are many more varieties of baking goods available. At Thanksgiving there are of course all the goods associated with that time of year.
