    I bought a pound of unsalted butter at Aldi on Friday for $3.69/pound.

    I wonder if the price is the same at my Aldi's. I think I'll make a run over there tomorrow. Thanks!

    Edited to add: The cost of butter was about the same at my Aldi's. Didn't get any, but will need to soon.

    Went grocery shopping yesterday. Now that the Dollar Store is the $1.25 store, one really needs to know their prices. Several things were actually cheaper at the regular grocery store than at the Dollar store.

    Anyway, kept the bill at about $60.00 and managed to pick up some burgers (rare purchase!) and a 1 lb bag of small shrimp on sale for $4.99 (another rare purchase). I know that I posted in another thread about trying to shop low, seasonal prices, but I just mentally needed a *treat* and these two out-of-the-ordinary purchases fit the bill. Oh, well. Will tighten the belt again this coming week. LOL.

    Went to a second store and still could not find frozrn eggplant parm. Worker at the first store told me he hasn't seen it in months.

    Looking for ginseng drinks also - no response from the manufacturer as to where I can purchase them in my area. They are a Mass company so ???

    Just got back from Aldi's where I spent about $75. This will carry us for about two weeks - except maybe milk and a few fresh veggies. I usually swap off shopping at my local grocery store and Aldi's, depending on the sales in the flyers for the grocery store. This week, there wasn't much and I know the prices on some of the basics we needed are cheaper at Aldi's. Still expensive, in my opinion, but there it is.

    Butter was $2.49 at Safeway with a digital coupon. The price variances at different stores are aggravating so we end up shopping at several stores for better prices. DHs favorite whole grain crackers are $2.50 at Walmart and $4 at Krogers.

    We don't use a ton of canned goods. And since they keep for a looooooong time we tend to buy them in bulk every once in a blue moon. We were completely out of cream of chicken soup and enchilada sauce, both of which we use for followup meals after roasting a chicken. So I bought two cans of each today. $2.79/can at safeway! The small cans that're maybe 12 ounces. I guess I'll now add these to my growing list of "keep an eye open for sales" items that I buy whenever they are discounted.
