I probably spend around $40-$50 a week on groceries. I guess that would include other things needed besides food. Eating healthy is not always cheep. I do buy most at Aldi's...fruits, veggies, whole wheat bread, yogart, etc. Anything healthy I can get there I buy as it can be expensive in other stores. I do like their frozen chicken breasts. I'm not keep in their ground beef. I do like their premium lunch meats in the plastic tubs.Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08470486402263680872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5260136107783215810.post-91956054346632714972010-01-09T18:29:15.893-08:002010-01-09T18:29:15.893-08:00Frozen bread dough is the way to go!Frozen bread dough is the way to go!Holly C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17572988209020256576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5260136107783215810.post-55550653013266944922010-01-09T17:35:31.012-08:002010-01-09T17:35:31.012-08:00Holly-you crack me up!

Did you make your own dough like Jodie or use the bread dough? <br />Dawnie-I have tried the boneless pork ribs at Aldi before and they were good. I've not tried the ham. Hub will only eat Hillshire ham and now he's got me hooked on it too! I buy 2 or 3 when they go on sale at Easter and freeze them.Rhondanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5260136107783215810.post-89873498365930413682010-01-09T15:55:56.267-08:002010-01-09T15:55:56.267-08:00I love Aldi and I hate Walmart too!
It sounds to ...I love Aldi and I hate Walmart too!<br /><br />It sounds to me like you are doing very well with your budget-especially when you are cooking all those yummo meals for 6 people!<br /><br />Here's how I save money-<br /><br />I cook with free hamburger 5 nights a week. Mostly cheeseburgers with some weird side dish. Hubster eats at his mom's house on weekends-except sometimes he is hungry when he gets home-so I see if I can get away with feeding him a big bowl of ice cream or a can or two of ravioli (only Chefboyardee-we do have our standards). My child isn't home very often to eat. I can live on toast, cereal, eggs. But please-use caution if you try this method of saving money-because people may think you are pathetic. Hehe.<br /><br />But there is hope-I made stromboli last week, because of you Rhonda, and it was a success!<br /><br />Nice pics of the snow, by the way!☺Holly C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17572988209020256576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5260136107783215810.post-41164367467180450182010-01-09T13:26:30.496-08:002010-01-09T13:26:30.496-08:00I wish I could be this organized, Rhonda. I am no...I wish I could be this organized, Rhonda. I am nowhere near this level, but I admire you for that!! I do love Aldi's too since food is much cheaper there and just as good. I just said the other day that they need to make their meat department better. I do like their spiral hams and they are very reasonably priced. I read recently that if a family of 4 spends $125 per week, they are doing extremely well!! So you are doing amazing since you are spending much less with a family of 6. Will e-mail the soup recipe. Keep up the great tips. You inspire me to do better!!!Dawnienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5260136107783215810.post-90537682452871005262010-01-08T17:03:11.578-08:002010-01-08T17:03:11.578-08:00Val, you really amaze me with how you take care of...Val, you really amaze me with how you take care of your parents and have a full time job!<br />Wow- 55 pounds - that's fantastic. I'm still working on my original 15 - I keep losing and gaining, losing and gaining. I'm getting really frustrated. I like your goals for the year!

Since I cook for Mom and Dad it's so time consuming to make one meal for us and one for them after coming home from work. I don't make resolutions since I rarely kept them in the past. I do have goals...I want to lose another 40 lbs-I lost 55 last year, I want to read my Bible through this year and so far I'm on target, but it's early. I also want to write more notes of appreciation and encouragement...I read of a really neat idea several years ago and I'm finally going to try to do it!Valnoreply@blogger.com
