I also stopped by Lidl (right next to Aldi) to pick up a few things Aldi was out of or had limits on (like eggs).
1 bag Sweet Long Peppers – $2.49
2 dozen Eggs – $2.40
1 32-oz carton Egg Whites – $2.95
1 bag Brussel Sprouts – $0.95

Grocery Total for the Week: $111.56 (This is more than I usually spend, but inflation here is no joke! It’s just not realistic for us to spend much less than $100 a week with current prices – and that’s with using free venison for many of our meals [my husband and son are avid hunters and get 5-8 deer every season]. Some of these things will last us through the end of next week, so in theory I’ll spend a little less next week.)
