Hope Rick is ok, actually got used to finding the ad on wednesdays.

Bonehead, I am with you on shopping the familiar layout and choices of just a few stores. Makes it so much easier.

I think RIck is probably busy, working.

Sally and Bonehead, I'm also guilty of sometimes liking familiar. When I plan a points or coupon attack at Giant I even use the on-line shopping list. That way when I print it for my store it falls in order starting with aisle 1, that saves missing anything and much backtracking. Just last week I got 500 points and $98 worth of groceries for $67, and it was all stuff we use regularly. I was just shy of my target of $75 which would have doubled my points.

WOW.... Ric... That's some savings...
I know a lot of folks that save a lot with couponing.
Wish I had that talent... It's amazing how much you spend on groceries.

I must say... I have come to love Aldi's though...
Their blue chips with home made Sala... can't be beat for game night...
And good fresh eggs $.59 a dozen...
and baby spinach in the hard plastic container for less then $2.00...
So good on sandwiches, hoagies, hotdogs or burgers.
Oh yes, and organic spaghetti squash for $1.89

And they are the only folks (around here anyway)
that sell Chiquita bananas... The other store brand don't
have any taste to me...

I go to the one in Camden, DE but they say the one in Elkton, MD
has gallons of milk for less than $2.00

Sorry about the missing produce page for this week. It's still coming up blank on their site. I've sent a note to tech support, but being a holiday weekend, I most likely won't hear back until next week sometime.

Ric, you rock the grocery
We'll be going out for grilling items, I guess. Watermelon, too. Corn? Potato salad? It's all good.

O my, it is wednesday, isnt it. I was going to take another look thru this week, give it another chance.

okay- between jan and this entire thread i guess i am going to have to try aldi's lol. i have never been to one.

i might just go look around for first time- getting great CSA veggies and fruit right now, and my tomatoes are coming in gang busters.

we just finished a pork butt but should get another

Yep -- I can finally do GOOD eastern NC style BBQ in the instapot... ok, it doesn't have that slow-smoked color around the edges, but the flavor is outstanding, and it freezes just fine. Time for another pork butt here, too!

They are giving $10.00 off coupons of $40.00 spent in DE Aldi's .

Check with your local Aldi's.... You have to ask for them....

FYI

Cool. My neighbor just took the girls to go bowling (my one and her two girls), said she was going to stop at Aldi's afterwards for fruit.. I quickly grabbed some $ and put Joyanna in charge of pushing a second cart and letting Ms. Martina help her choose what to put into it.

Your posts brought a smile to my face
Can't wait to meet you all in person

Looking forward to meeting you, too, Susan! I'll miss the fall swap this year, but hopefully you won't run away screaming or anything, and I'll have a chance to meet you at another event.
