Weight Watchers Live Facebook Chat:  Aldi Finds!  Please join us each Sunday night at 8pm eastern for a  live chat about  your favorite Weight Watchers finds, foods and fun.  Can’t wait to answer your questions LIVE!


These are the transcriptions from tonight’s chat about Aldi with Smart Points listed.  As always these are available on Facebook, YouTube and on my blog www.ifyouhaveanegg.com

Weight Watchers Facebook Live Chat: Aldi Finds with Smart Points!
  • Fun Facts: Aldi was started in Germany and is owned by the same company as Trader Joe’s. The polished concrete floors are most likely done by one of the crews my husband is in charge of!
  • Important info before you go! Aldi is a no frills shopping experience.  If you need a shopping cart (buggy) you will need a quarter to free it from the buggy chain.  It’s a quarter, and I suggest you get one unless you are a fast bagger.  Yes I said bagger…you will be bagging your own groceries.  Take bags, they have them available for sale but take your own.  Keeps prices down!
  • Fit & Active is Aldi’s “lighter” or lower point product line. Doesn’t mean low points, just lower so always double check!

  • I promise…the dog is fine. He is super clingy because he has a boo boo and isn’t allowed to scratch his head right now.  He’s supposed to be snoodling with daddy 😛
