[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I spent $93 at Aldi the other day and got:

3 bags of apples
Grapes
Mandarins
2 packs tofu
Cheddar popcorn (for school lunch snacks)
Cilantro
2 pack scallion 
Cabbage 
Bag carrots
2 big clamshells spring mix (I don't want lettuce)
3 bell peppers
Zucchini
Buffalo sauce
Pickled jalapeños
Large flour tortillas 
2 bags freeze dried strawberries (not cheap but a nice treat)
Cheese: mozzarella, cheddar, and cheddar jack
Jarred garlic (yeah, I have fresh but it's nice to have in a rush)
Can of beans
2 lb pasta
1 box chickpea pasta
Milk
Chicken nuggets

Also got a few other things at Costco (strawberries, bananas since Aldi was out, chicken, baguette, olive oil, pesto), so total spend for the week was $155. But it will get a family of four through a week. [/quote]

What meals are you making out of this?[/quote]

I made an apple cake and might make some zucchini bread or apple carrot muffins for kid breakfasts. Kids eat sandwiches, fruit, and a snack for lunch.

For dinners so far we've had black bean and rice bowls/tacos with toppings,  chicken Caesar salad, a "picnic night" (baguette, salad, fruit, cheese and meat from fridge), and a stir fry. We'll probably do  something else Tex-Mex-ish with leftover beans and chicken. We also have stuff on hand for homemade pizza, pasta, fish (in freezer) and some kind of cabbage slaw, and some kind of braised or curried tofu. [/quote]
