I used to buy the single serving sizes at Costco for school lunches before I shopped at Aldi. Now I fill small reusable containers of applesauce for school lunches. Sure I have to clean them because we still do not have a working dishwasher, but we are saving money. Compare the Aldi price to Costco here.
