If you're trying to cut costs on groceries, this photo might thrill you, too.
With Americans feeling the sting of inflation as they buy everything from everyday necessities to holiday gifts, every penny counts.
That's probably why a tweet about an Aldi's grocery run from Andrew Lokenauth, the founder of the Finance Newsletter, went viral on Dec. 5.
Lokenauth posted a photo of a grocery haul, saying "This is what $108 from Aldi gets you."

By Dec. 5, the post had more than 2,300 replies and had been liked more than 53,000 times. The comment section was also lively, with many quick to point out the pros and cons of what they saw in the picture.
One user agreed the haul was great value for the cost, but the writer still had a bone to pick with one thing about Aldi's: the freshness of its produce.
