Day 10
Wednesday I treated myself to something that I have been hearing a lot about! It seems over the last few months, every time I've turned around someone new was talking about this. So, since the word on the street was positive, I went for it!
At the beginning of the year, just after moving to Lakeland, I tried to go to Aldi. However, earlier that morning when I dropped David off at school he informed me at the last minute before getting out of the car that he needed lunch money. I only had change on me and gave him everything I had except for a dime and a nickel. We parted ways and I made the trek to Aldi; pretty excited to try someplace new. How was I to know that my plans had just been thwarted by a hungry 7th grader?!
When I arrived at Aldi I was surprised to see everyone depositing coin into the little contraption attached to each cart. I needed a quarter. I had fifteen cents!
This time however, I was prepared. I deposited my quarter and began my shopping adventure.
I found the store to be neat and clean. They actually had a lot of things packed into the small store and I was impressed that it was as organized as it was.

Rita's Gelati, made with SWEDISH FISH {you heard me right} Italian Ice and swirled with Vanilla Custard. Oh my! Oh my! Oh my!
It was not a disappointment! In fact the only disappointing thing about this "first" was that I had waited so long to try it!
Day 11
My "first" this past Thursday was something that I had actually trued to do before but did not have the correct change. I went to Aldi.

I'll go back. Not weekly, but every once in a while to see if they have any fun new stuff.
Because they are small they did not have a great produce selection, and that was really my reason for the trip. I needed a specific type of potato and they only had room for one.
Oh, and when I put my cart back I got my quarter back. I put it in a special place in my wallet for the next time I visit!
