Part 1: What to Buy at Aldi

My love affair with the discount grocery chain began during my first few weeks out of college on my own. My roommate Kalyn and I were just out on our own, broke, starting new jobs and trying not to pay a lot for groceries.  She had shopped there while going to college at Ball State tipping me off on how much she saved by shopping at Aldi vs shopping at Kroger.

I was delighted when I discovered that the food did indeed exceed my expectations and everything I have tried so far has been good quality. Check out my list of real, whole foods that I purchase every time I step foot into the store. My favorite brand that I always try is their Fit and Active Brand.

My Aldi Grocery List:

Raw Almonds: $3.15

Avocados (sometimes for as little as $.49 each!)
Granola- Coconut chia seed & pumpkin flaxseed: $2.75
