We all know that entertaining during the holidays can get rather expensive. As a family of 6, we are always trying to save money wherever we can but we still want to be able to provide our friends and family with great food, drinks and fun when visiting over the holidays. This year when planning for our holiday festivities, we turned to ALDI Supermarket to supply us with all that we needed.

A lot of people are not aware of the wide selection of foods and wines that ALDI Supermarket has to offer or of the great prices they sell for.

For under $50, we were able to provide our guests with a meal consisting of chicken parmigiana, spaghetti, and garlic bread, in addition to appetizers consisting of an assortment of crackers, baked brie cheese, feta cheese dip. Not only did we serve all of this food, we also picked up a couple bottles of wine and dessert as well.

Yes.

All that for under $50.

One of the biggest expenses when entertaining can often times become what you are serving your guests to drink. ALDI Supermarket offers wine that tastes great, has a wide selection and is available at an affordable cost. We served the Landshut Riesling and Winking Owl Chardonnay. I was pleasantly surprised with just how good both wines were in addition to our delicious food.

With one holiday now behind us and another fast approaching at the end of this week, we are looking forward to making another trip to ALDI Supermarket to pick up a few items to entertain the family for our New Year’s Eve celebration.

What do you do to curb costs when entertaining for the holidays?
