There you have it for our grocery haul! We had a good mix of staples, fresh produce, and, of course, those cute sheets! No regrets there (though Jimmy isn’t overly excited about sleeping under pumpkins 😜)!
aww the pumpkin sheets are so cute!! and i agree, rao’s sauce is amazing 😍 i think the latest fall item ive purchased is a pumpkin scented candle, it smells so lovely!
I thought the sheets were just too cute to pass up! I can’t get over how amazing the Rao’s sauce is. Like what sorcery are they using for it to taste so fresh?! I love it!
Love that pumpkin candle you shared, too. It’s so cute!
Kathy from Lendery here. Love how every item has a price next to it. Seeing “Dairy and Eggs Total: $24.69” broken out by category makes it so much easier to spot where a grocery budget can stretch. That same habit of knowing the full cost pays off with bigger purchases too, like a car repair or a home project. lendery.com is a Vancouver-founded lending marketplace where one short application shows the rate, monthly payment and total cost from vetted partner lenders side by side, with no obligation. Fun seasonal find, too. Aldi always seems to have something new each fall.
