I thought I would share a recent grocery trip to Aldi with you guys.
If your not from Australia or haven't heard of Aldi before, it is like no other grocery store I know.
The main selling point of Aldi as I see it is affordability and simplicity. They stock a limited number of brands (mainly their own), they don't sell a bunch of crappy grocery items you don't need and they are pretty cheap.
I mainly go there when I want meat or need to stock up on some veges. They have a decent range of both and are a lot cheaper than other grocery stores like Woolworths or Coles.
When I go grocery shopping I try to buy only proteins and vegetables, because for me these are what make up the majority of my diet. I try to avoid most other processed foods.
If I am craving dessert or anything like that then I prefer to make it from scratch, other than that I really try to keep them out of my house.
It is also significantly cheaper to shop like this. It only cost me $150
for all of this! This will feed the boy and I for a week or more. If I
was to shop at a more generic grocery store, the equivalent plus all the
random stuff that ends up in my trolley can cost up to double the
amount.
