Update and an Aldi gripe

So, in the last two weeks I have managed to buy only two new items, a summer dress and a shirt, both of which are appropriate for church.  I have lost most of the baby weight, so many of my old clothes are hanging off of me and I am worried my bra is going to show.  Oh, and I also bought a cupcake holder from Aldi (BAD!!!  I know!!!).  There are no excuses, just that I took cupcakes to a picnic and didn't have a big enough holder so they all smooshed together and I wished that I had had a holder ...yadda...

yadda...
yadda...

yeah, I know I can make an excuse for anything.

While I was there, I noticed something.  (photo from my definitely-not-a smartphone).




Do you see it?  Aldi dropped the count on their baby wipes from 72 to 56.  BUT they kept the  same price.  They hadn't even changed the sign yet, which still had the old count. 

So, now I get 23% fewer wipes for my 99 cents.

Sneaky, Aldi.  Not cool.  Not the kind of "less" that this mama likes.

Anyway, as penance for my 3 new items, I got rid of 7 shirts that were too big and stained from the last 6 months of being spit-up on.
