Me too..... Love garage sales. But after a while you think..... Do I really need that or am I buying it cause it's dirt cheap?

Near my place there is always a community garage sale the last Sat. in May and every one puts out stuff so you can wander from street to street. That one is fun.

I don't shop at Aldi, but I do usually buy store brands for anything they have them for-unless it's really really bad.

I LOVE going to garage sales. My mom is an old pro,...I can send her out with a list of things I want/need and she usually is able to find everything.

My inlaws raise chickens, so we never have to buy eggs, and every year they get chickens for meat, and we all pitch in for the chicks and then help dress them. They also buy 1/2 a beef each year, and we go in on that,...chicken and meat is MUCH cheaper that way.

Being frugal is a passion of mine. So much so that I started a website to share my passion!!

We have Aldi in Australia too - I personally have never shopped there and doubt I ever will, while I understand the need for people to save money, I try to support local producers and business owners buy shopping at my small local stores - in Australia, Aldi is owned by foreign companies and only stock foreign product.

I feel the same about wal-mart- they move into towns, cut prices until the competition folds and then they start going up- they are the major force in moving high tech and manufaturing jobs to China- ok I chased a rabbit- now back to the thread- my wife pinches pennies so hard Abraham Lincoln has been known to cry!

Ha Ha..... Brother Larry. That's a good one.



But no body has told me what Aldi is. Is it like Wal Mart. ????

My wife and I love Aldi's...

We started to do our shopping there about a year ago. It almost knocked the grocery bill in half.

Here is their website if anyone is looking for a location:
