An Aldi food store is coming to my neck of the woods. It is actually a neighboring town that I must go by on my way home from work. This is the first Aldi I've seen in northern NJ. Does anybody know if it their prices are reasonable?

On another note, June will be an exciting month for our family. My 17 year old is graduating from high school June 26 and my youngest is graduating from 8th grade. This also means that it will be quite an expensive month for us. Prom, yearbook, cap and gown and college tuition for the oldest and 2 day Boston school trip and semi-formal dance for my youngest. They are very excited about these upcoming events so its worth it to me.

Three more paychecks for my husband and I, but I think that with vigilance and careful planning, we'll be alright until September. I'm going to take the summer to catch up on reading a stack of books I have, revisit our budget (make changes) and I am also taking a graduate course for I decided to get my Master. When I complete 15 credits, I'll be able to move up in the salary scale because my employer allows a salary increase if you have a BA + 15 credits.

Oh... I am also getting excited about our trip to Puerto Rico this summer.

Have a wonderful Memorial Day weekend!
