Aldi deals for the week of 6/17-6/23

Thanks to Coupon Clippin Daddy for this week’s deals.

If you are new to shopping, at Aldi’s, here’s their coupon policy: or lack there-of since they don’t actually take coupons!

  • Aldi’s does not take coupons of any kind.
  • At Aldi’s, you will have to bag your own groceries and pay a quarter to get a cart. The quarter is reimbursed when the cart is returned.
  • You’ll need to bring in your own reusable grocery bags or you’ll have to purchase them in the store.

Here are some of the Aldi’s highlights for the week: remember to check out Coupon Clippin’ Daddy for the rest of the deals! It’s hard to judge what a “good deal” is since cost of living varies so much in various parts of the country, but these are all “good deals” by my standards in a low to moderate cost of living area

Tasty Treat Tuesday: Snickerdoodle Bars

I love Snickerdoodles, but every time I attempt to make them they taste horrible.  I’m just not sure what I am doing wrong.  I am excited to try this recipe, though.  Maybe I can finally be successful at making these and actually get to enjoy the yummy goodness of Snickerdoodles.  Don’t these bars look delicious?  Thanks Somewhere in the Middle!

Here’s what you need to make these:

Cookies

  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp soda
  • 2 cups flour
  •  1/2 tsp cream of tartar (not called for in the original recipe, but I’ve never seen a snickerdoodle recipe without it)

Frosting

  • 1/4 cup butter, softened
  • 1/4 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 4 cups powdered sugar (use a little more or less to achieve desired consistency)

Here’s how to make them -> Snickerdoodle Bars Tutorial

Father’s Day Gift Idea: Soda Pop Candy

Here is a cute Father’s Day gift idea for those dads with a sweet tooth.  All you need are old soda bottles and dad’s favorites treats.  Fill the bottles with the goodies then place the cap back on.  I know IBC Root Beer bottlecaps can be twisted back on, but I am not sure about other soda brands.  Then you just use scrapbooking paper or contact paper for labels and to cover the box.  It might even be cute to place pictures of the kiddos on the bottles as labels or to have the kids write messages to dad on them.

Thanks for another great idea,  The Idea Room!
