What's Your "Cheap" ?

Right after college I roomed a short time with a girl who ended up a regional manager for Aldi's.

Getting married soon. It was supposed to be next October, but things are so expensive, so we are moving it closer to home and doing a small close family wedding. Dont want to go into more debt just to get married. By doing this My fiance and I are saving about $10k

I've was married once and I'm saving money by never doing it again.

Good luck though.

I agree with the produce but I remember an article talking about this and its because Aldi's does not get produce that has been sprayed with preservatives/chemicals that prevent produce from ripen as fast, like other grocery stores do. Its one of their things to "become one of the healthiest grocery stores." Whether its true or not? I have no idea, i just know that if I buy the produce, I better plan on eating it that week. Their grapes are usually pretty solid, cheap and last at least a week from my experience, if you do your due diligence picking out grapes. Their little bottle of organic ketchup for 1.69 has no HFCS and is better than heinz, fwiw.

Simply Heinz is the best in the business, contains no HFCS.

Aldi's ketchup is for UNI fans.

Hunts is for hawk fans.

I'm trying to figure out if this was part of the earlier conversation or it was just your contribution to the thread.

Haircut. Great Clips is good enough for me. Don't understand why people pay **** loads of money to go to places like Knockouts or some similarly sport-themed/scantily clad female place. I want my haircut to be done in 10 minutes or less. Don't have time to watch sports highlights, I'm already married, and have more important things to do with my day.

I go even cheaper and have my wife do it. Done in less than 10 minutes and I don't even have to travel anywhere. $30-$40 clippers and I am set for a few years.

I used to do my own, but don't trust the wife with the clippers.

She did kidnap you so I can't blame you there.

I'd recommend having another set sitting in the closet, just in case. Things like that don't typically die before you start in on using them

For the record, it's Aldi, not Aldi's
