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!

I found the new site quite informative, and of course I was happy that I can still get my meal plans! Congrats on your decade-versity! Thank you for all you do. Looking forward to using the new site.
Congrats on 10 years! As I look at the site, I wonder how specific it is to the Aldis in your area versus the other Aldis in the country? That's more of a question than a comment, I suppose. But still. Sales, items that are specific to your area instead of every store. How do we know?
What a fun site. I love the socks! I am brand new to Mashup Mom and Almost All Aldi Facebook site so it's all new to me, but so far so good.
Love the new site! I love being able to find all the Aldi stuff in one place, as well as the reviews. And I love all your meal plans. Thanks for making things easier (and cheaper!) for my family during crazy weeks. 😊
I like the white background for the cover photo. It makes the text more prominent.
Love this! I’m going to become much more regular around here! I literally live right by you since you mentioned going to yoga in elmhurst! And I shop at the villa park aldi every single week! Anyway, I love the new site because it talks about more than food...my fav aisle is the weird miscellaneous aisle where you can find all these great deals so thank you!
Very interested in the instacart option.

Congratulations on ten years!
Almost All Aldi looks great (I have no suggestions for improvement!). Your weekly meal plans are a staple in this household. Thank you so much, from a tired mom of two little ones. 🙂
First off congrats on 10 years. Second I love the new site. I love that I can find the meal plan but I can also read about products they have for sale and if they will be beneficial to me.
Congratulations on ten years! I subscribed to the mashup mom meal planning emails over a year ago and what a time saver!
The Almost All Aldi site is fantastic! I love how everything is in one place- it makes it so much more convenient and the site is very easy to navigate. Thank you for the product reviews! I always look at the Aldi special finds and think hmmmmm....... now I can check out your reviews to determine if it's something I need.
Thank you!
