I Saved 67% This Week

My parents were in town for a few days this week. It is so nice to have a stocked pantry and freezer when extra people are at the house. All I did was stop at Aldi for more milk, eggs and berries, and I was all set for guests.

I took my parents grocery shopping to Dierbergs & Schnucks while they were here. My parents were quite happy to walk out of Dierbergs with a bag of groceries for 85 cents. I included a picture and details of their shopping at the end of my post. They did better than I did this week, saving 91%.

I grew up shopping at Hy-Vee and still love their Iowa pork chops. Since my parents were coming to visit, I checked Hy-Vee's online ad. Woo Hoo! Iowa chops on sale for $1.99 lb. I placed a delivery order - shipping and handling was free.
