I effing love Aldi! I can never go back to regularly shopping at another store again. While they don’t have everything, especially specialty tens, the staples are too good to pass up. We exclusively buy their diapers (cheapest we’ve found and they actually work!) and overall our grocery budget has decreased by $25 a week. The more you shop there he more goodies you find.

Our daughter has been solids very well for a while now but she still loves pouches. And we do too, when we’re on the road, or when we feel we should sneak in some extra veggies! The price is pretty ridiculous but nothing we want to be greedy over. Here in NL we have Aldi too; I think we should consider taking a look for the pouches there!

I realized we were spending an absurd amount of money on food pouches every month so we’ve started making our own. Our go-to recipe is coconut milk (the fatty delicious kind in a can), raw oats, ground flax, chia seeds, and fruit. Our baby has a totally insatiable appetite and this is the one snack that keeps him full. We save a lot of money and also reduce quite a lot of waste.
