Mashup Mom turns TEN today! PLUS: ALDI gift card giveaway + NEW Almost All ALDI Site
OK, I almost can't believe it myself, but: January 28, 2019 is Mashup Mom's TENTH blogging anniversary. Yes, all the way back on a cold January day much like this one in 2009... but when we were all just that much younger... I started sharing coupons and deals with some friends online. The rest, as they say: It is history. 😉
Happy birthday to me, happy birthday to...
Thanks so much to all of you for being here and helping Mashup Mom evolve into the true community it has become today -- both to those of you who have stuck around through all of the changes over the years, and those of you who are newer to the recipes and weekly meal plans here. As always, a new year of blogging marks a new opportunity for growth and possibilities, and I have some fun stuff in store for you guys over the next few months -- and an ALDI gift card giveaway for you today! Just read on for details. 🙂
And if you still enjoy the coupons and the deals, do be sure to come on over and join us in the Hot Deals Facebook group.
What's the buzz, tell me what's happening...
Speaking of fun stuff I have in store, I'm so pleased to announce the launch of Mashup Mom's brand-new sister site, Almost All ALDI!

Congratulations on the big 1-0! Love the new site! It might be useful to have a 'calendar' of past seasonal Aldi finds--such as which spices and baking ingredients they typically start carrying mid-November for the holidays, what they usually stock only in the summer.
Happy 10 years! I love the new site especially the Aldi Finds section. Maybe a section on your Aldi “Favorties” would be helpful too (your favorite products that your always buy from Aldi).
Congrats! And thanks for this fun giveaway.
Love this! I’ve been an avid follower for 8 out of 10 years and have progressed with you. ALDI is definitely my favorite store now that the glory days of couponing have passed. I love the Facebook group and the new website looks fab. Thanks for all that you do and save us!
Love your site and weekly meal plans! THANK YOU!
Love the new site! Aldi has great household items, it will be fun to see what's new each week! Thank you!
Love the new site!
Maybe add a section with *next* week's deals?
Unless it's there and I missed it...
Great to read through your Aldi info! It has been super helpful for my family to follow along and try new ways to save money.
Wow! Congrats on your "birthday" I've been a fan of your blog since 2011 or 12. I can't begin to tell you how much you've helped me control my budget, and now help me plan meals and budget my grocery money. You've taught me so much in these ten years. Looking forward to the future! Thank you!
Congratulations! Love the new site!
