How will you be ringing in the new year? Will you be going out, maybe to a party, or will you be celebrating from the comfort of your home? We like to make a bunch of goodies, sit in comfy clothes, play games, watch movies and celebrate as a family. We sometimes have family and friends over to celebrate with us, however I think we are going solo this year (that is, with just our immediate family). We have many fun things planned and the boys can’t wait to stay up to watch the ball drop (although, I’m already guessing that about half of them will be fast asleep way before midnight). Do you watch the ball drop?
We made a trip to our local ALDI store this year to purchase all of the goodies we plan to consume on New Year’s eve. I was really impressed at how much money I saved by shopping at ALDI, although I really shouldn’t have been because I know that I always save quite a bit of money when I buy from ALDI stores.
I brought two of my five boys with me on this shopping trip, so I knew it was going to be interesting. Even though I had a few extra items thrown into my cart, we still kept the bill low and ended up with a LOT of groceries! We will be enjoying chips and pretzels, pizzas, chicken wings, nuts, cheese dip, meat and cheese and crackers, and the most important thing for me….Peppermint Mocha creamer in my coffee…YUMMY! There were many more items that we purchased, but you get my point.
And did you know that ALDI carries a very large selection of wines? I’m not talking about high dollar wine either, although the taste/quality is definitely not compromised. If you love wine I highly recommend you try their wine sometime.
We will definitely be doing more shopping at our local ALDI store!
I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for ALDI. I received a gift certificate to facilitate my review as well as a promotional item as a thank-you for participating.
