    We used to buy the pre-made ice cream cones (called "cornetto" in Belgium), the sandwich ice-cream, the chocolate lolly-pops and... no more. We last year got some cones, a couple L of plain vanilla ice-cream and some cans of whipped cream. Nothing, and I do mean: nothing, beats a home-made cone; my goodness. We enjoyed that so much more! Doing it again this year, and even enjoyed some during winter months! Yes we did!

    Hi Amy, I do my lemonade with crystal light gallon size packets. Squeeze a real lemon into it. It tastes like regular lemonade but no sugar. I think they have it in the great value too. Some stuff does not pay to make homemade sometimes buying it from the store is cheaper.

    You could get a few thermal bags to keep dairy and meat in while you go from store to store here in Florida, to help keep them from getting too warm. 😊 You did so good with two carts for $300! I’m just starting to shop at Aldi and the prices amaze me with how good they are. I’m so used to shopping at Publix where the prices are 3X what Aldi charges. I hope they make the big Winn Dixie near me into an Aldi. Thanks for sharing your shopping with us!

Also i find that sams club is the best for sodas especially when it comes to canned soda i mean i believe a 36 ct. For $15-$16 its not bad. 😊..

    Amy, are you stretching your pork sausage by mixing it with ground turkey? Because if you are that’s completely genius and I’m about to try it. ( we used to make our own sausage so I know what spices to add ) but that would help make it less greasy and that’s something definitely to try.

    I have worked in both delis (Publix for 2 years and Winn-Dixie for 3 years) and bakeries (Publix and Winn-Dixies). My favorite sandwich is still rare roast beef with horseradish sauce, a load of fresh cut onions and provolone cheese on marble rye-sooo yummy!. We have no Aldi or Sam's where I am now so I have to settle for Winn-Co, Fred Myers, Walmart, Safeway and URM. I do have a Costco membership which is very helpful. Its so fun to watch you shop. Im wondering , when you are shopping and NOT recording do you still find yourself talking to yourself like you are recording?
