Aldi Dropping Prices on Hundreds of items to Usher in a Summer of Savings.

Aldi, one of the low-price leaders in the grocery industry, is looking out for their customers this summer. In early May, Aldi announced a plan to pass along $100 million dollars in savings to their customers through Labor Day. This is a huge increase from last year's summer savings event from Aldi, where they saved shoppers around $60 million. This is especially great news if, like me, you have kids at home on summer break eating you out of house and home.

“ALDI is always looking for ways to help customers save money, but with more experts warning of
persistent inflation, the time was right to deliver even greater discounts on our already low prices for
the second year in a row,” said Dave Rinaldo, President at ALDI U.S. “We don’t want food prices to hold
people back from getting together with friends and family or spending time outdoors this season.”

Fourth at the Fort - which won't be on July 4 this year - has a lineup for 2024, as Fort Liberty announced the artists performing at the annual celebration.

First, it's worth pointing out that this year's event will not be on July 4, which falls on a Thursday. Instead, Fort Liberty officials moved the celebration to Saturday, June 29.

"Happening Saturday, June 29th at the Main Post Parade Field. Yes, June 29th! This year will be our BIGGEST event yet!" Fort Liberty Family and MWR said in its Facebook post announcing the Fourth at the Fort. "We will have not one, not two, but THREE artists plus the 82nd Rock Band to celebrate with us! The three artists are from three different genres - there will be music for everyone to enjoy."

Hip hop artist Flo Rida, country duo Maddie & Tae, and rock-pop ground Plain White T's will be the musical acts performing this year.

Last year's event drew over 60,000 people to the Main Post Parade Field, with Sheryl Crow and Gavin DeGraw performing.

Fort Liberty isn't alone in moving its main celebration off of the weeknight, as the Town of Hope Mills has also moved its day-long celebration to Saturday, June 29, as well. The City of Fayetteville is holding its symphony event in Festival Park on July 4. The Fayetteville Woodpeckers will be out of town on July 4, but Segra Stadium will play host to the US Collegiate National Team for a game that night, as well as fireworks.

But let's take a look at the three artists scheduled to perform at Fourth at the Fort at Fort Liberty on Saturday, June 29.

Country duo Maddie & Tae are best known for their huge country hit "Girl in a Country Song," but they've been staples of the radio since 2014.

Best known for their hits "Hey There Delilah" and "1-2-3-4", the pop-rock group has been together since high school.

Welcome to MY HOUSE! Flo Rida has over 100 million records sold, and is one of the best-selling artists of all time, according to the release from MWR.
