☆ ABOUT ME ☆
I am a former tech worker who lived in NYC for 30 years. When I reached 50, I set out my own and created a business selling on Amazon using their FBA program. Great fun, but neither career left much time for healthy living.
I turned 60 last year (2023). I found myself 110 pounds overweight and seriously out-of-shape, pre-diabetic, with sky-high cholesterol, and unable to walk for more than 20 minutes without resting.
I decided to make some major changes. I shut down my Amazon business and started living frugally. Health is more important than money, especially as we grow older. In August 2023 I started the carnivore diet and lost 65 pounds in 3 months.
Now I’m hooked! I can walk for miles without a rest now. My cholesterol is within normal levels as is my blood pressure. I am no longer pre-diabetic, and I feel 30 years younger!
After experiencing the benefits, I’ve become passionate about sharing my story to help others.

Not sure why but grocery hauls are always weirdly satisfying, lol. Thanks for sharing!
So true, I get good ideas from watching them too. And they’re fun to make as well.
I just did my first haul,and It was exciting for me to share what i got because Aldi's has some great prices on great food I love it,and love watching others get ideas
Me either. Lol. But I love hauls!!
That beef jerky stuff says zero carbs but they usually have maltodextrin which can raise your sugars more than sugar which stalls weight loss.
What I love about shopping at Aldi on the carnivore diet is that you are on & out in ten minutes.
Yes, it was much easier than shopping at Costco.
Most the meat at Aldi is horse meat.
@@mjuberian😂🤣 what makes you think that?
If you stalled on weight loss don’t worry about it your body is healing & repairing you may loose inches though and your body composition will change
Yes, i think you’re right. I wore some pants today that were tight a few weeks ago. They were kind of loose today.
Yes, I'm 10 years older than you and always start with Aldi. My food stamps go further there. But I always get my coffee there! The German roasted is delicious, and a full pound pack!
I think they must have sold out of a lot of their normal brands, as the coffee shelf was very sparse.
Great video.
Thanks!
Celery powder is a natural preservative (nitrate).
thanks for showing us that you can eat well on a budget jay. keep it up.
Love your channel so helpful ❤
Thanks for the comment!
The ALDI ORGANIC PERU COFFEE BEANS is the best COFFEE I have ever found. You should pick up a package next time. They are a bargain at $6.19.
Thanks for the tip, I’ll keep an eye out for it.
Thanks for the tip, I'll try it for sure!
Caution on the ground beef!
Many places fill the air-tight package with gases which are used to keep the meat looking fresh red even after it starts to spoil.
vacuum pack or tube packed should be okay
thank you for that did not know and I dont buy many,but I thought they were fresher because of the package,thank you for that important info
The only gas they use is carbon monoxide. It doesn't affect the quality of the meat. Nor does it prevent spoiling. The only thing that it does is prevent oxidation which some people find visually unappealing.
And, you can't tell if meat is spoiled by visual inspection. So looking fresh doesn't make it fresh. Nor does looking brownish gray make it bad.
PS: went home from Wild Fork where I met the man who told me he was on carnivore diet and went on UA-cam right away to check it out. What a treasure trove I found there! Dante Ferrigno was my first influencer on UA-cam.
Good stuff!
Hey Jay!!!! You were the motivation that I needed to get back into this way of life. The eggs that you grabbed are my favorite!!!
You got this!
Aldi is my go to store. The rest I get at Walmart
Thanks for sharing! Aldi is my place. They should have organic whole bean coffee at your Aldi. Maybe check again next time you go. I love the ground lamb. The lamb is a little lean though. I got a six lb hunk of raw suet from a local place that I chopped up, froze and render off a little at a time. I use that to add more fat to leaner meats as the fatty acid profile is better and is more nutritious.
I think they were just low on coffee when I was there. I’ll check again next time I go.
I LOVE Aldi, it's pretty much the only place I shop. I buy the small 1 pound frozen tubes of ground beef for 4.59 and eat one a day. I also love the seasoned pork loins on the grill. ( I also cook for my husband and my mother-in-law who lives with us, so I will do seasoning and a vegetable side) I just did chicken wings from Aldis in the air fryer tonight for supper, so good!
Hi, Jay -- Thanks for sharing your Aldi grocery haul. We don't have Aldi in our area, and I wish we did. It sounds like you got some good prices on meats.
I like the way you read ingredient items -- that's important, because so many foods that we often think of as "safe" have sugar and artificial flavors. So scrupulous label reading is critical.
I hope you had a great Christmas!
It’s true, there is sugar in almost everything.
I just found my Aldi in Burbank last week. I bought their grass fed steaks. They are $1 a pound cheaper than Walmart. Walmart always runs out. Ground lamb is a better deal also. Great store and good value. I will take my time and look some more next time.😊
Walmart also uses meat glue on their steaks & pink slime on ground beef. Stick with Aldi it rocks & doesn't use any of that crap
I just subscribed because i think your story is great,keep it up. love to hear people doing healthy eating
You did good. I shop at Aldi's a lot.
Congratulations on your success so far! First video watched: subscribed and liked!
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for subscribing!
This is good to know!
Aldi is awesome!
Thanks for sharing!
You’re welcome 🙂
Ribeye here in Florida at Publix is a super good deal at $6.99 a lb. I bought two 7 bone Ribeye's and had the butcher make them into steaks. Good eating this Holiday! Love your vids! You have a very calming voice. lol
Thanks for the complement! Tomorrow I’ll cut the first ribeye roast into steaks. I’ll post a video if I dont make too much of a mess of it…..
Yes, they had a good deal on standing rib roasts over the Christmas Holiday. I wish we had a chest freezer because that was a good deal.
I haven't shopped at Aldi so this video was so helpful. I'm serious about going carnivore but I didn't think I had the budget. I'm going to Aldi today and see what I can do. Thanks for a great video.
Just remember that, even though meat might seem expensive, there are a lot of other things you will be able to skip buying. I do carnivore on between $100 and $150 per week. That includes ribeye steaks 2-3 nights per week. Good luck, it’s totally worth it!
One thing Aldi has which I have not tried yet is Irish butter. I have seen a few other videos of people talking about it, many people in the comments say it is as good or better than Keryrgold and about half the price. I am going to start my carnivore journey after New Years I find your videos very motivating keep up the great work!!
I skipped ALDI’s Irish butter as I have some kerrygold, but maybe I’ll try ALDIs when I need more.
Aldi Irish butter is delicious! Give it a try.
Kirkland’s butter from New Zealand is even better, as it’s 95% grass fed/non gmo as per NZ law.
I only buy the Aldi's Irish butter. Dessert!
People say the Aldi Irish butter tastes the same as Kerrygold and the Kirkland grass fed butter. To me Kerrygold & the Kirkland grass fed butter tastes better. I wanted to like the Aldi one especially because it's cheaper but it makes me a little nauseous and gives me a stomachache.
WE R What WE Eat. Choose Very Wisely Jay. Thanks 4 sharing! Carnivore Baby. Cheers and Happy Holidays!😎😎😎👀
Celery juice is for curing instead of sugar. But it’s much better to make your own.
I came across this video while researching the carnivore diet. Thanks for the info! 😊
Glad it was helpful!
Nice haul Jay.
Thanks 👍
Just noticed your channel when Aldi haul showed up. I love Aldi stores. I enjoyed your video so I'm now a subscriber!!!
Thanks for subbing!
Thank you ❤
That was interesting watching you shop. We just got an Aldi in my town. I haven’t been there yet but will soon, once Christmas is over. I was doing carnivore but fell off the wagon. It’s difficult to stick with it when my spouse is the opposite of carnivore. We’ve had quite a few food/treat gifts coming into the house (even though I haven’t baked this Christmas). So anyway, I need to restart because I don’t feel well back on “carbage”. I’m in awe of your weight loss! That’s great! Congratulations! 🎉 That is so inspiring. I have just subbed. Next time you see a tenderloin at a good price per pound you should pick it up. Just cut them into steaks and cook whatever way you like your steak. It’s a very tender, usually expensive cut - filet mignon.
I did not know that about the tenderloin; great tip! I will definitely buy one next time I see them on sale. Thanks!
Hi Jay. 5+ year carnivore here. 👋 I'll check Aldi out after Christmas. I didn't find much the last time I went, but that was maybe a year ago. You got some pretty sweet deals. They have added much more than I remember in the meat section. I'll check 'em out. Thanks for the tour. 😎👍
Glad you enjoyed it!
I live in Yuma AZ and wish we had a Aldi here in the Foothills!
Great video! Ive been Carnivore for just about one month. I'm going to give Aldi a try. There are two not far from me.
The celery powder in the meat sticks was as a source of nitrates to cure the meat. But people think that added nitrates are somehow bad for you but also WANT to believe that they magically become safe if the nitrates are natural.
Nitrates are chemically very simple molecules. It doesn't matter if it comes from celery or Prague #2, nitrates are nitrates.
For the record, nitrates are perfectly safe. If they weren't, it would be far more dangerous to consume celery than hot dogs. And few people, even on a carnivore diet, would make that claim.
Tl/Dr - there is no such thing as an uncured hot dog or bacon. They have all been cured. That is what the celery is for - but the USDA doesn't allow it to be LABELED as cured unless nitrate powder is used (as opposed to the nitrates being there as part of another ingredient).
Good for you, Jay! First time on your channel, my husband started the carnivore diet this past Monday. They have fresh salmon also within the other meats by the ground pork. Best of luck to you! ❤
Thanks and good luck to your husband!
In Australia our prices Are Doubled ..
Ah! You missed the 50% off stickers on the ground beef. Always look for the red stickers in the meat section!
Thanks for letting me know about those. Great tip!
I buy my ground beef like that in the large rolls. 5 lb rolls of ground chuck for $3.79/lb at Walmart. One of the bad reviews for it was someone complaining about finding a chunk of fat in it. That's a bonus! I've only had small chunks of fat on occasion.
Agree about the fat chunks!
I wish we had an Aldi's in Maine
congrats good sir
I love their German roast coffee.
May I suggest a small pouch on your key chain for the quarters? I got one from Amazon, apparently used to hold AA coins, so every once in a while I get interesting looks, but super convenient for frequent Aldi trips. Love the channel, you got a new subscriber.
Thanks for the tip, and thanks for subscribing!
In Britain. What I like doing at Christmas is buying a whole salmon and making gravlax. Aldi were sold out when I went, so I got one from Asda instead.
(I'm not all that concerned about using sugar to draw the water out, as I figure that most of the sugar remains outside, and I only do gravlax once a year. I make sure to use more salt than sugar though.)
Great tip, thanks!
You can ask to buy a token for the carts and their insulated bags keep things cold even in Florida summer time heat. Oh and their organ meats are tricky to find but well worth the search.
Aldi is my favorite store...I go there first then what I can't find I go to Walmart
As to sweets: best to lose that taste. - exactly!!
The carts which you need to insert coin for use are considered normal in Europe and it is not a surprise to me because I live in Europe. Btw nice work keep up.
Their air dried beef is the best! Better than jerky just wish they had more flavors
Their Lamb is great, I cooked the loin as well as baby back ribs great!!!! The prosciutto is great price. The tilapia fillets are good, and I researched them because farm raised ,but they are safe. I just bought their wild caught cod fillets, not impressed thin and tasteless
Yes, the lamb is great. I haven’t tried the cod, but was not impressed with the salmon.
So much cheaper than what we pay for meat in New Zealand. For 2 Ribeye steaks which we call Scotch Fillet we pay about $25NZD. We are a country with heaps of cows and sheep but the meat is expensive and the best quality gets shipped overseas.
High quality meat is expensive here too. Prime is the best commercial grade, and prime-rated rib steaks go for about US$20 per pound. Grass-fed (which I really wish I could afford) is even more expensive. The lower-grade meats do seem to be cheaper here though. $7.99 for the rib roast is an exceptionally good deal even at ALDI’s. If I had a bigger freezer I would have bought more!
We're having lamb meatballs for Christmas Eve dinner. I've never made lamb chops, so I'd like to see how you cook the lamb you bought.
My ground lamb? Oh I’ll just break it up and cook it in the frying pan with some egg yokes. I like to keep things simple….
Oh, I'm sorry, I thought you bought lamb chops in addition to the ground lamb.@@Jaylwoodworth
Your Aldi stores in the US are so much better than here in the UK, can’t get half the meat variety here.
It really is a good supermarket chain. I never shopped there in the past, but love it now.
Hi Jay, this was so much fun to watch. I'm a carnivore in Germany and Aldi IS officially from here. I love going shopping there and it was fun to see the different prices. You have a much bigger variety in the US. ❤
Glad you enjoyed it 🙂
Aldi has some pretty good prices for the stuff they carry. I have a Jewel, Whole foods and an Aldi within walking distance of my house and 2 local supermarkets a slightly longer walk away. For ground beef and chicken Aldi has the best prices and it's always worth checking out what they have on sale. The only bad part is my local Aldi is one of the smaller ones, a lot of the sale stuff goes quickly and it doesn't carry anything but bog standard eggs. I more or less make a trip to those stores every week or 2, they all have different things they carry for the best prices.
Yes, even Whole Foods can have some good deals if you’re a prime member. But I’m sold on ALDI now!
@@Jaylwoodworth Perfect example of that is whole foods is the only local supermarket I can get pork belly at and with prime membership it's about the same price as I can get it anywhere else.
In Perth Australia price for ribeye is $41 a kilo
Wow, that’s a lot!
I shop Aldi's all the time. They got the best cuts of meat in my opinion. I like to buy my ribeye there and my Chuck roasts unless I can get out to like a Sam's Club where I can get a really big family size roast and cook that up, that'll last me a few days.
I love their Mediterranean salmon. It's fresh and not frozen it's not exactly clean carnivore it comes pre-seasoned with spices but I eat it anyway😊
That Mediterranean salmon sounds good!
They were smart thinking up that quarter cart thing. Let the customer do the work not store employees.
Good haul . I don't like the sodium ph. They put in the frozen fish . I also Google the side effects. It can cause stomach problems. Doesn't really say how much it takes to do this . But aldi has ground lamb thats amazing i mix it with the beef make meatballs.
I love their ground lamb. ALDIs has some great deals.
Never bought ground lamb👍
Coffee….. Bustella is the best at Aldi. You’ll need to find the right amount for your taste because it is very finely ground.
I like bustela too, especially with steamed milk - cafe con leche style
Always check the expiration date on the eggs, especially if they're pasture, raised or free range at aldi
Eggs last a few weeks longer than the date
I need a app that compares the prices of the per pound meats .. on the spot. I don’t remember what things cost from store to store.
I bought 110 pounds of rib roast $7.99 and 33 pounds beef tenderloin for $11.99. At ALDI
Hey, Jay! Never been to Aldi's, but will check it out. I usually shop at Publix (Florida), which is expensive, but has weekly sales I take advantage of. I've been thinking of maybe Costco and/or BJ's, but am not yet willing to pay the membership. I've tried Latino markets which are cheaper, but not much variety. I'm not fond of shopping at Walmart, tho I hear they have lots of organics (but hey, I'm shopping meat!). Is there a Wild Fork in your area? I actually heard about carnivore diet for the first time while checking out Wild Fork. Met a man who said he was on carnivore (What?!!) I've studied nutrition for years and tried all healthy styles of eating (vegetarian, vegan) and have done a lot of fasting (40 days being my longest), and did raw vegan but could only sustain it for 90 days. I'm enjoying your videos so much as a peer. I like particularly how you walk thru the stores and talk about prices and ingredients. I look forward to your videos and there are quite a few to keep me busy. I like that you are taking us on walks in the country too, and talking about getting older! I also liked your commentary on meditation. Keep up the good work bringing to us your interesting content! Oh, and you still drink coffee (lots of carnivores say no coffee).
No Wild Fork here, but we have several Latino markets that I like to shop at. The Brazilian butcher is the best. I'll make a video there one day. The majority of my viewers are men, so lots of us are doing this diet now. And there is no way I'm giving up my coffee! Gotta have one vice.....
Don’t know if you have “Fresh Markets” in your area but they have fresh ground 80/20 burger every Tuesday for $3.99/lb.
I don’t think we do, but that is a great price!
if you're up for an adventure you can make your own jerky, either in the oven or with a food dehydrator.
Good idea for snacks!
I did get the rib roast. I like their ground beef but the ribeyes seem like they are "glued" together. I will buy them but because of the price but I can't put my finger on what is 'off' about them. Thoughts?
I haven’t tried the ribeye steaks so not sure about them. I did cut one of my rib roasts into steaks and they were delicious.
@@Jaylwoodworth I've gotten their rib roasts last year and this. Delicious last year for sure . Merry Christmas.
Das ist bei uns in Deutschland ähnlich. Aldi hat ein gutes Sortiment, aber für spezielle Produkte muss man nochmal woanders hin.
You doing gods work. We are proud.
How do you prepare the rib roast?
I’m planning to cut the roast into steaks. If I were to roast it I would cut up some onions and potatoes, put everything in a pan, and then into an oven at 350 until the center of the roast was the right temp. Then serve w horseradish. Of course I would only eat the meat, but good to have the onions and potatoes for anyone who was eating with me.
great prices for the moment but with the current farming situation the prices are going to go up
carnivores will have no choice but to go back to eating plant based foods soon
Walmart is the way to go
Be careful with their ground beef, it has “natural flavors” added. If that’s something you want to avoid.
Thank you. That is something I always warn people about. It isnt just Aldi but every supermarket in my area. Some Aldi products do not have additives. The frozen burgers and the grass fed beef are good choices.
Natural Flavors showing up in a lot of coffees lately. I’m mostly just buying beans now and grinding to avoid.
Could you make a video showing how to cut a ribeye roast into steaks please?
Coming up soon.
And....Aldi's meat is locally sourced!!
Those eggs say something like vegetarian or grain fed which really isnt good. Lamb is awesome from Aldi's, good price too.
08:20 what about the rack of lamb, that still has the fat looks like?
It was pretty expensive for the amount of meat. I ended up getting some ground lamb instead.
That salmon looks a bit dodgy ( never get fish from china or vietnam fish farms) our aldi frozen salmon is sourced from Norway. But its $27.99 AUD a kilo ( 2.2 lbs ). And 99% of supermarkets all have coin trolleys/carts have for years 🇦🇺😊
Why not have an egg as a snack
Just got that salmon from there last week and it was full of worms. 🤢sticking to beef from now on.
Mine didn’t have worms, but I prefer the Costco wild caught Alaskan sockeye salmon. Otherwise, everything I bought at ALDIs was great!
Cricky I thought uk put some rubbish in the food but the US takes the biscuit 🤬
There's wild caught salmon in China? 😅
Yea I personally stay far away from food sourced from China.
Free range eggs are BS in my opinion. The chickens are no healthier but the prices are much higher. Pasture raised is what I look for. That is a meaningful label. Unfortunately, Aldis pasture raised chicken eggs are possibly not really pasture raised. They taste and look inferior to any other pasture raised egg I have seen. I dont feel so good after eating them and that is the real test.
Agree. Free range and pasture raised are two different definitions, with pasture superior!!! Free range is a marketing scam! Advertisers bank on stupidity of customers!
Not sure I would buy any meat/poultry/seafood that's imported from China...
Don't get me started on any of the shrimp products
Yeah, I didn’t like the shrimp either.
Lamb is mostly bones. Not enough meat. Salmon from china. U will be glowing in the dark soon after eating the salmon
Sorry but the meat is very hard $11 a pound
Don’t put eggs in the fridge 👍
Ours have to though
Trader joes has lower prices too and healthier ingredients. They are both stores from the same family. Two brothers.
Their company also owns ALDIs, I believe. I like Trader Joe’s, and will do a video there in the next few months.
Farmed salmon is unhealthy.
Coffee isn’t anymore carnivore than celery salt. There’s always some hypocrisy in these over restrictive diets. Humans have always been omnivores
I’ve lost 70 pounds in a few months, which is way beyond my expectations, so I don’t see any hypocrisy. I see good results. And if someone thinks I’m cheating as a carnivore because I drink a cup of coffee, well, I can live with that.
And I sometimes eat chomps organic grass-fed beef jerky, which contain celery salt.
“Product of China” ?? Give your head a shake….
you want to buy red salmon not pink its full of bones and china meat no way
Germans making sure you put back the shopping cart where it belongs to 🪙😉
In Australia our prices Are Doubled ..
