$40 Aldi Week

I love Aldi, this week money is tight. I have $40 bucks to get through for a while. I love a challenge involving food and money! My organizational and mathematical skills were on point today.

We do a community meal for about 20 friends every week. I was to shop for that and everything I needed to get us through till Saturday, maybe this Saturday or maybe 2 weeks from Saturday. Not sure what the first paycheck at this new job will look like!

I am currently eating very simply. So for me, every meal must be prepared at home, nice timing, because there is no money to eat out right now. I don't miss it because I had already decided to take a break.

So here is what we got!

Milk
Butter
Eggs
3lbs Frozen Chicken
2 Cans beans
2 packages of Tortillas
2 bags frozen Corn
Cilantro
Sour Cream
Salsa
Lettuce
Jalapenos
Organic Olive Oil
Oyster Crackers

It was a glorious $37. We  have food for us and enough to share. Thank you Jesus.

I was thinking all day about a seines of posts I'd like to do about eating on 3 progressively smaller budgets at 2 stores. Aldi, Walmart, and Wegmans. I love trying to figure stuff like that out. I'm thinking maybe $40, $20, $5. And see what you can get to feed you and your family for a week.

What is your family grocery budget?

Day 3. Almost didn't happen. I can do this.
