I am so excited to be back to shopping for deals and groceries after welcoming our sweet baby girl (after 3 boys!) and taking a couple of months off for maternity leave! The last few months of pregnancy were rough and I’d mostly just stuck to getting groceries at Aldi. However, I’m looking forward to trying to find deals again as the prices of groceries just keep increasing here in North Carolina. I found some great items this week and even discovered a new to me liquidation store that has amazing deals!
