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!

Congrats on the 10 year anniversary! Love the site and the meal plans. Always super helpful and the recipes are awesome!
I recently found you a few weeks ago and have already tried so many new meals for my family of four. I love that the new site looks super easy to follow and that I’ll have so many new meal
plan options to try!
Happy 10th birthday to your blog! I visited your new Almost All Aldi website and here are my thoughts: right off the bat, I was so happy to see minimal ads. I understand they keep bloggers running, but some ads are so intrusive they end up covering recipes or making it impossible to scroll on the mobile version. So thank you for that! I am noticing in your "Free Aldi Meal Plan" graphic, the 3 photos at the bottom of the graphic are a little blurry, but the full size photos on your site are very clear, so that is good. Also, I really like the font you chose for headings & menus, it's very minimalist and legible. Thank you for providing this resource for us Aldi-loving deal hunters!
Yay for the recipes and helping me "not think" too hard about what to cook each week. Also love the product reviews and recs
I just found your blog today. The new site looks great! My family loves shopping at Aldis and I can not wait to learn all your tricks and tips.
I ESPECIALLY LOVE THE RECIPE SECTION OF THE NEW SITE!! I will be bookmarking this one!
I'm a new ALDI shopper, so I'm looking forward to some insight from you. I recently signed up @ Mashup Mom to get your meal plans. I just came back from Almost All ALDI -- I looked at all of your pages & read every post! And I signed up to get your emails. I'm excited about Almost All ALDI! Thank you for all you do and also the opportunity to be entered to win a gift card!
I love the new site!! It’s everything neatly wrapped into one nice website package for Aldi! Definitely saving under my favorites! Thanks for all you do!
I got a little overwhelmed by the tiles on the new site. I found it hard to find what to look at next! But I'm so impressed you figured out how to make it - it looks very official!!
LOVE THE NEW SITE! Love aldi and your page is very helpful!
