Lots of Produce!

Today we went out to the City Market which is a farmers' market with lots of local specialty grocery shops.  I have to tell you I am in love with this place.  It is beautifully set up and the people are amazing.  I am excited with all my finds and know this will be a regular stop from now on :)

We stopped at the City Market, then we took the kids to the Science Museum, on the way home we stopped at Trader Joe's, and then finally Aldi.  So happy to have one nearby and definitely a great store.  Such great stuff there!  Anyway, let's take a peek at what I bought.  I did buy some stuff that will be for next month and on, but for now I am including it in this month's budget.  Which of course I am over, but I am so happy with the products and meals we are eating!

    1. I am so happy we found this place. It is about 20-30 minutes away in the heart of the Metro, but so worth the trip. Just an incredible place :)
