Shopping there has revolutionized our grocery stock. I've never bought anything bad from there. They have really great stuff. I've tried coupons and double coupons and I still can't beat Aldi's.Drawing Strawshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01221877969020459099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8734646428701561816.post-19509813862530608562010-05-12T17:25:11.149-04:002010-05-12T17:25:11.149-04:00We definitely play this game!!!...

I deposited my paycheck this morning, so I think when I pick up the kiddos from school we are going to go have fun at the grocery store. :-)Our Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11544297586280909565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8734646428701561816.post-69322267091138713482010-05-12T12:37:34.528-04:002010-05-12T12:37:34.528-04:00I must add to our lunch options.

The problem is, in my rush to get out of the house in the morning, I ALWAYS forget to set it out to thaw for dinner. (Ever since I've started putting Ivalee's food together in the evenings to save me that extra step in the mornings, this has been the consequence.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
