[For best results, stock the door with a pound of butter ($4), two bottles of salad dressing ($5), a bottle of orange juice ($4), a bottle of apple juice ($4.50), extra virgin olive oil ($8), and a case of bottled water ($9). Remember such condiments as ketchup ($3), mustard ($1.50), pickle relish ($2.50), and barbecue sauce ($3) to give your meals zing....]
I wait for butter to be $2 to $2.50.
Apple Juice goes on sale for 99 cents for 32oz here.
Salad dressing - even name brands can be had on sale 3 for $5. Or $1 at one grocery store bargain aisle.
EVOO (cheap version) is $1 at one grocery store.
Ketchup is regularly on sale for 99 cents or $1 for 16oz.
Mustard I can find for 69 cents to $1 off brand.
BBQ sauce will be 69 cents to 99 cents on sale.
Off brand relish is about $1.50.
Bottle water - they regularly run a 24-pack for $2 to $2.50.
WM has a 35 large bottle pack for $3.50.
Orange juice was $6 / gallon at WM.
WM near me also had 36 medium or large eggs for $1.20 the other day. If I didn’t already have 18 and limited space...
Now, milk prices at Texas Aldi’s were just awesome. $1.89 Vitamin D gallon and no sales tax. Awesome.
I am so blessed and happy to be able to afford better foods than those you list.
And I do give thanks.
$1 for EVOO. No thanks.

“Buy meat twice during the week, as it can spoil in just a few days.” Uh, there’s this neat invention called a freezer so I only have to grocery shop every 6 weeks.
Who buys imported Irish cheese with no calories?
Who stores peanut butter in the fridge?
That picture of the reporter’s fridge is weird.
We shop at Aldo’s for all that stuff. Butter $2.99, mustard .89, ketchup .99, mayo $1.89, bars of cheese 1.79 each. The savings are incredible!

Aldi (at least in Central Florida ) is one of the best places to pick up eggs, butter , milk , and fresh produce .
A lb of butter at Aldi here is 2.99 and it’s 4.00 + anywhere else . They put it on sale for 2.69 and I buy extras and put it in the freezer . I buy a lot of produce there when I am not growing my own .
