Aldi items allow me to put together a gourmet-looking spread for under $30.Tess Lopez
My husband and I are a young couple on a budget who love hosting friends.
Charcuterie-board ingredients can be pricey in some stores — but not at Aldi.
As a young couple saving for our first home, my husband and I can't afford to spend a lot of money on groceries. However, we also love hosting friends for parties with wine and a charcuterie board.
Unfortunately, at most grocery stores, these ingredients can sometimes cost upwards of $80. Given the high prices of groceries, I'm always looking for cheaper alternatives when available.
Luckily, Aldi offers great charcuterie-board ingredients that allow me to put together a jaw-dropping spread for under $30. Here are 11 Aldi items I use to create a gourmet-looking board while saving big bucks.
Prices may vary by location.
