oh I wanted to say the price of Milk here in Delaware I'd $3.68 @ Walmart..Aldi is $2.99...it's outrageous to us too ! Fruit is really expensive in general. Watch the channel Freakin Frugal (I commented on there page for viewers to see your vlogs of how price diff is) anywhoo they dumpster dive at mainly Aldi..they do wash their fruit etc..but you'd be amazed at how much stores throw away..there's many KZreadrs who now do this..not that I'm better than that, but I'm glad we have the means to shop..but everyone loves a bargain!

As always another great haul from Costco. Here in Ontario prices are going crazy as well. Milk is priced at 4 litres for 5.69$ Canadian, the price went up a dollar for the first time in a very long time. The government locks the price. But it does appear to be cheaper. I am going to miss Everett when he starts school. ❤

Keep the dresses they really look cute on you and the short out fit looks good on you too
