My super budget truck is to check the weekly ads and plan ahead, got all this for less than $90! The pork loin alone would have been $70 at regular price.

This isn’t a recipe but it is an advice post. I’ve managed to really improve the quality of food that I feed my family by checking the ads each Tuesday and making a list where I buy the “loss leaders” from each store with plan to hit three stores in an order where I am mostly likely to be able to find the best deals. I try to hit aldi every week because you can get staples for less there if they aren’t on sale anywhere.
I did really well this week with a budget of $75, I ended up spending $88 but the regular price of the food that I bought at just one of the 3 stores would have been $105! I made use of digital coupons at 2 stores and got what was left at Aldi.

Sadly, our weekly ads have gotten very bad lately, specials wise. The sale price is what we were paying a year ago, and a lot of the discounts are for processed goods instead of fresh. The last fresh produce we got on sale, avocados, were rock hard even after a week of leaving them to ripen, guess that’s why they were on sale.

I personally will not eat pork loin
