Family Savings With Smyrna-Vinings Deals
Your weekly look at local offerings to help reap family savings.

It’s a no-brainer that we’re all trying to save a few bucks on groceries these days. Though not as ubiquitous as the big chain stores, break your rut and give Aldi a try. This compact, European-style store is perhaps more utilitarian than you’re used to and proffers fewer choices, but you won’t believe some of the deals. Cons: no pharmacy, no large customer service counter with stamps and money orders, no natural foods section, must purchase or bring your own bags. Pros: all the food you need for huge savings. With a little foresight and planning, shopping at Aldi can make a huge difference in your grocery budget. Aldi has stores at 2589 Spring Road near Hargrove Road and on Floyd Road in Mableton. In fact, Aldi is so certain you’ll be amazed by their prices that they issue a One Week Challenge on their website.
“Welcome to Moe’s” sounds the familiar shouting refrain when you stop and smell the salsa. Everyone loves the casual, hip vibe and the fresh and ubertasty Tex-Mex burritos, quesadillas, tacos and more from Moe’s Southwest Grill, with flavor in spades. Whatever your needs are: vegetarian, low-cal, dairy-free, gluten-free, no preservatives, no MSG, Moe’s is a step ahead of you. All that and free tortilla chips with a spicy salsa bar. On their website, Moe’s is currently offering a “Kids Eat Free” deal with a purchase of $5. Forget the fast food, go nosh on an Art Vandalay and your kid gets a “mini Moe” for nothing.
Take Me Out To The Ballgame: the first pitch of the Smyrna Little League Baseball spring season comes Saturday with a free opening day parade and games. All baseball fans and little ones will get a kick out of cheering and watching the decorated “floats” sashay down King Street. Even if your kids aren’t signed up to play Little League, it’s a great way to show support for our town’s teams by coming to cheer them on. At 8 a.m. sharp, the parade begins and circles around the Smyrna Community Center roundabout. So wake up, grab some coffee, and come on out to watch the beginning of an exciting season. Play ball!
