[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We shop at Aldi and also eat what’s in season. My kids do not get berries weekly even though they’d love them. I have friends who spend $20 a week just on berries that their kids gorge themselves on.

Sadly due to prices our fruits and veggies have become boring. We always have a fruit bowl with apples, oranges and bananas. In the fridge there’s always broccoli, green beans and carrots. The rest comes and goes based on what’s in season. We eat a lot more beans now too (not a vegetable I know). [/quote]

Same here. Aldi doesn't have the selection of some stores but it's good for the basics we eat most in winter: apples, bananas, pears, clementines, salad greens, onions, carrots, cabbage, broccoli, butternut squash. I do wish they sold whole kale or collards instead of the chopped bag with stems, we ate more leafy greens when they didn't require a special trip.

I prefer the thin frozen green beans since they are never woody and don't require stemming, so we buy those too. I also buy canned pineapple and dried fruits for the kids sometimes.

Our total grocery bill is usually $120-150 per week so we're definitely not spending $100 on produce.
