Grocery Cart for Nov29- Dec7 (*and the next week)
Because I am a few days behind in grocery shopping I figured I would go ahead and shop for the next weeks meals. I will probably have to go back for milk and bread and maybe others if I find good deals. And the Aldi list is soooo looooong that I am not posting the detail list, but I will post the picture and Total price.TOTAL for the Week: $136.70($13.30  under budget of $150.00  week.)Next weeks total should be much less because I bought the main meals this week.TOTAL amount saved this month/November ~ $134.39!    Woo-Hoo!! Another weeks worth of grocerie
