Are you wanting to eat healthier but thinking it’s too expensive? Or don’t know where to start? Here’s an example of a typical weekly shopping trip of ours to ALDI USA.

While we don’t buy everything at Aldi, we find a lot of our staples there for a much more affordable price. Their meat selection is one of our favorites - lately we’ve been buying their organic chicken. Some other favorites:

Grass-fed cheddar
Organic all-beef hot dogs
Organic avocado + olive oil
Kettle-cooked chips made with avocado oil + sea salt
Organic rice
Organic black + kidney beans.

I love all the organic staples they have!

We made this video a few months ago, and I just neglected to share it until now, but I have since stopped buying their diapers/pull-ups. The last time I bought them they had an odd chemical/plastic smell, so I switched back to Millie Moon diapers at Walmart. We also switched from their grass-fed eggs to their pasture raised, as the prices dropped.

It can be a constant juggling act between the healthiest options possible and keeping it affordable with the current economy, but we just try to do the best we can. Making much of our food from scratch is how we usually accomplish that, but I understand that for someone just now learning how to eat healthier or who works a full-time job and has a family, that might be less practical.

I hope this is helpful for some of you who are wondering where to start. Feel free to ask questions for more specifics + folllow my stories for more daily tips!

Note: we also stopped buying their fruit snacks when I realized they had 15g of added sugar per tiny package! 😱 Sam would easily blow thru two at a time! We now get snacks from Publix with no added sugar.
