So long... and thanks for all the food!
Thanks for all of your support over the years, everyone. Mashup Mom is going on indefinite hiatus as of January 1, 2024. This isn't goodbye, though: It's so long (for now!).
Happy New Year, everyone! As we move into 2024, I need to let you know that Mashup Mom is going on indefinite hiatus. We'll likely be back with new ideas and new content in some form, some day -- but as of January 1, 2024, there will be no new posts here until further notice.
While I'm gone
While I'm gone, though, you'll find quite a bit of older content to keep you busy (and well fed). To wit:
Browse through years and years of ALDI meal plans here *** Note: prices may have changed since originally posted. Mashup Mom ALDI meal plans (on a budget) were posted weekly from 2017 through mid-2023, then sporadically through the end of 2023. You have quite a few to choose from!
What went into all of those meal plans? Years and years of easy family recipes, of course:
Who's getting hungry? 🙂

What else?
Let's wind everything up with some secondary content, if you're looking for older topics:

- What's Rachel Reading? book reviews
- One Thing a Day
Please enjoy browsing, and it's been a genuine pleasure to connect with so many of you over the years -- from our beginnings in 2009 as a humble coupons and deals site, through all of the later ALDI, meal planning, & recipes years, and now -- on to whatever new adventures may await.
I love the geeky reference!
So long as old content is still accessible, I'll be happy with that.
I will certainly miss seeing you in my email box weekly. But understand the need to step away... Happppppy New Year to you!!!!!!!
I've been sick so haven't been online lately. I'm sorry to see you go but hope you'll return soon. Take care!
Thank you for everything you've shared with us, thank you for keeping it available, and we'll wishes for your new adventures!
Thank you for all the meal planning help through the years. I wish the best for you and your family.
Happy New Year.
I would by lying if I said I wasn't sad when I read you are stepping away. You have made a positive impact on my family personally and you will be missed.
Enjoy your next chapter and don't stay away too long.
Thank you for keeping the old stuff available... I will visit often.
Thank you for the years of meals! I would have been bored to death of the same things week after week! The best to you and your family in the coming years. I hope to hear from you from time to time!
Thank you so much. Hope to see you again.
Thank you so much for sharing so many wonderful recipes, information and ideas over the years!! You have given your readers so much valuable information. I've also enjoyed your books. Best wishes!
Thank you for all the wonderful meal ideas and money-saving tips. Happy New Year!
Thank you for all of your content. It has truly helped me learn how to plan for my family and up my “mom-game”. But seriously, it’s hard to stay in a budget with todays grocery prices. It’s insane. So my sentiments whatever the reason for your hiatus. Thanks again! I will definitely still be using the site!
Sad😕 But I wish you well and thank you for keeping the years of recipes posted
You changed my life and I really appreciated it. I hope you take care of yourself and your family. Happy New Year! <3
I will sure miss your posts. This was my favorite food blog! Best of wishes! Thanks for all the work and time you spent creating these plans to share!
you will be missed!
{Sigh} I am sad to learn this. While I realize this W-WW site has changed since 2017, I felt it included enough money-saving tips to remain on my regular bookmark page.
Your decision to leave this venture caused contemplation. I choose to leave it on with the codicil that it is no longer contemporaneous, but has enough value for a person only learning about in 2024.
I wish you well. I will miss the posts about the Notorious BKL and your other felines.
Thank you for all of the great content. Enjoy your hiatus!
Thank you for all your deals, meal planning, and wonderful creative recipes throughout the years! I often visit your site for meal ideas. Wishing you the best and hope to see you back soon!
Just wanted to let you know that I looked forward to receiving your newsletter every Wednesday. My family of 5 has enjoyed so many of your recipes - the best being One Pot Pasta. It's become one of weekly staples. Thank you for inspiring me to love my kitchen and to cook healthy meals on a dime! Good luck on your next chapter!
I just found you the end of last year . I am so sad to see you go
Your planning and creativity have helped me so much over the years. I wish you luck on whatever your next adventure is. Thanks for everything.
Thank you so much for your years of helpful material. You really saved our budget for a few years and made meal planning less stressful (since you did all the hard work - cooking is the fun part).
Thank you for sharing your delicious recipes with us. We use and enjoy so many of them in our house. Thank you so much! We pray God blesses you abundantly and we look forward to hearing from you again.
Just a note to say I still visit your site to remind myself of a few of my favorite recipes about every 1-2 weeks. So many great soups, the gyro style meal, and so much more! Thank you for keeping them accessible!
It's been a year, and I still miss you! I still use your recipes every week. Thank you for everything!
Dropping in to see if your baaaaccckkk. I miss your shopping plans. Hope you are well!
Please please please will you compile all the weekly meal plans and recipes into a cookbook? Obv you can leave the prices out. I would buy it so fast, and a copy for all my friends!!! Love your recipes!!!! 🙂
