Banana Nut Granola Cereal

This Banana Nut Granola cereal is fantastic. I just can't say enough good things about this cereal. Really. It makes a perfect breakfast to start the day. Or sometimes, I eat it for dessert. The price is pretty good too, at $2.19 per box.

Menu Plan Monday

I'm going to try something new this week. I'm going to start posting my menu plans for the week. There will be some items that were not purchased at Aldi, but we get 85-90% of our groceries there, so chances are, most of the menu items will be available at Aldi. If they are not, I will try to make a note of that. Stop by Organizing Junkie for more menu plan ideas. I will only be posting Monday through Friday dinners. We never know what we're doing on the weekends until they get here and one night usually includes pizza!

Monday:
Turkey Burgers (Jennie-O Burgers) with mushrooms
Onion Rolls
Baked Beans
Salad

Tuesday:
Chicken
Rice
Carrots

Wednesday:
Turkey Chili (See recipe here)
Crescent Rolls (On sale for 25 cents this week!)

Thursday:
Cheese Tortellini with Chicken with Sauce
Garlic Spinach (Will post recipe this week.)

Friday:
BBQ Chicken on Grill
Broccoli Salad (See recipe here)
Beans

Jennie-O Turkey Burgers

Sometimes Aldi has name brand items at a great price. This was the case with these Jennie-O Turkey Burgers this week. There are 12 burgers in the package, and it was $5.99. That's 50 cents per burger! (Wegmans price is $6.29 for the exact same thing.) We'll be eating our burgers with the amazingly awesome onion rolls I bought this week. They were $1.99 for the package of 8 giant rolls. That's 25 cents per roll. So that's 75 cents per burger with a fabulous onion roll. Great deal! We're also having baked beans and a nice side salad to round out the meal.

Bagels and Neufchatel Cheese

These bagels and cream cheese are a nice combination. The Cinnamon Raisin bagels are big and make a perfect breakfast or snack. Toasted and topped with Fit & Active Neufchatel Cheese makes it even better. The Neufchatel Cheese tastes exactly like cream cheese. Honestly, I cannot tell a difference. It says it's 1/3 less fat than regular cream cheese. I will take their word for it! It tastes great. The price for these 6 (yes, there are 6 to a package, not 5. I kind of ate one before I took the photo!) is $1.49. (That's only 25 cents each!) And the price for the cream cheese is $1.19.

My Favorite Condiment

I love yellow mustard. It is my all-time favorite condiment. I could live without ketchup, I really could. But not mustard. I love it on my hot dogs and hamburgers. On my sandwiches, I dip my french fries in it. I love mustard. And I especially love it when it's only 69 cents! Aldi sells their mustard in a 14 oz. bottle. Wegmans has an 8 oz bottle for 99 cents. French's mustard is $1.69 for a 14 oz bottle. More mustard for less money at Aldi! Aldi wins again.

Guacamole and Chips

I picked up this spectacular Guacamole yesterday at Aldi. There were 2 pouches in the package. The flavor was outstanding with a nice hint of garlic. It went wonderfully with Clancy's Multi-Grain Tortilla chips. It was a nice healthy appetizer for our dinner tonight.

The price for the Guacamole? It was $2.99 for the package. We only used one of the pouches so far. Wegmans has a very similar Guacamole (in size and packaging), and the price for theirs is $4.99. The bag of Multi-Grain Tortilla chips was $1.69. Wegmans cost for their tortilla chips is $2.50.

Loven Fresh Raisin Cinnamon Bread

Oh, yeah. This Raisin Cinnamon Swirl bread is delicious! Eat it plain or toast it and spread some butter on it. Either way, you will not be disappointed. This loaf doesn't last long in our house, it's a nice treat or a yummy breakfast. And it's only $1.99 for the loaf. So go get some!
