Welcome to another edition of Super Savings Saturday.

I skipped grocery shopping because I’m sampling some meals from Blue Apron (look for a product review in the near future). The only drugstore item I wanted, ThermaCare heat wraps at Rite Aid, were out of stock. So for the first time in a long time, I literally bought nothing all week!

Though I have no deals of my own to feature, fear not: my sister generously offered to share some goodies she found. Because we live in different areas of the country (I’m in New England; she’s in South Florida), and shop at different stores, I’m always curious to hear what she’s buying.

Aldi:

Unlike me, she is not into coupons and doesn’t shop multiple stores regularly. Everything purchased was a fruit or veggie (her household is vegan). I’ve heard many people rave about how wonderful Aldi is, and after seeing this receipt, I’d definitely agree. The organics, in particular, are a steal. If Aldi was in my area, and I only had the time/interest to make one stop, I’d do what she did.

Personally, I’d buy everything except the dates. We joke that she inherited her love of dates from our grandmother, who was famous for a date and nut bread recipe. (Oh, the memories of times we all cooked together. Many years ago, but I still recall it vividly.)

Have you found any freebies or cheapies lately?
