Because I stocked up big time last week, I had a lot of stuff in the pantry to make dinners this week. I love finding clearance deals at Aldi! This week they didn’t have anything worth buying, so I took the extra money I had left over and put it toward my freezer meal cooking day in March. I did mess up a little, though: As soon as we got home from Aldi, I realized I didn’t buy any toppings for Allison’s pizza. I hope she’s okay with plain cheese pizza! Come see what I got this week.
