When my onions start to go bad I dice them up and freeze them for soups and stuff like that
That's a great idea
That's such a good idea! Thanks for suggesting that.😊
yes same here! we always save all of our veggie scraps for homemade broth as well, i just keep a big ziplock bag in the freezer and toss things in till it’s full!
I do the same thing and it works!! I learned it from my aunt’s ❤
I do the same.
I have six kids. We don’t have Aldi in Maine so I drive over an hour once a month to Aldi!!! Worth it!!!
I'm from Maine too! :) Have you tried Azure standard? I love them!
Wow! $100? That’s amazing you got so much. Groceries in Canada are off the charts!
Aldi is the best! Their organic grass fed ground beef is good.
It is! I buy lots and freeze it every time I go.
Aldi is my #1 place to shop. Took my husband about 6/7 months ago for the first time and his mind was blown. He couldn't believe the savings. My #1 item is chicken. It's NEVER slimy and you can't beat the price anywhere that I've seen. There are so many Aldi branded items that we love more than the name brand. You can go to my car at any time and there is always a quarter in the door handle, gotta always have that "Aldi quarter". Of course, I have to replace it a lot because my daughter loves to "pay it forward" and give our cart to someone so they don't have to use their quarter ❤
For those who do not know, ALDI’s brats are made by Klements Sausage Company. My son in law works there. I am not sure how big brats go over in other states but they are a big summer hit here in Wisconsin.
I started shopping at Aldi in June 2007 when I bought a ton of fruit for my daughter’s High School graduation party. I’ve been shopping there since that day!
That is awesome!
My husband used to be a district manager for Aldi, and he said that most of the Aldi brand stuff is the exact same as the name brand. Like, if you buy Aldi frosted flakes, the same cereal goes in the name.brand boxes at the factory, then they switch over to the Aldi boxes. Their ketchup is just Hunt's, their cheese crackers are Cheez Nips, etc.
Wow!
Hmmm… if thats the case, we’re being duped with Aldi’s “non gmo and organic” labels -? 🤨
Thanks for that information!
Supposedly, that goes for all stores. My brother in law worked food services in Canada for YEARS. Much like many of the the "luxury" items are made in the same factories as the counterfeit/fake products. Also, Huggies makes the Kirkland brand diapers...same factory.
I have a friend that works for Kellogg in the plant making granola bars, cereal bars and those type of items. They also package a couple other store brands. They do change recipes for items under the other brands. The store brands just contract with Kellogg to manufacture.
I used to shop at Aldi when my kids were still at home. I haven’t been there in years. I had no idea they were selling all that organic stuff. I will definitely be back! You got a crazy deal that was a lot of. I’m looking forward to shopping at Aldi again. Thank you for the info Kristen!
Yes they do!
I sure hope you are all okay after those tornados hit Elkhorn and the Omaha area. Praying for all involved.
Weekly Aldi shopper here. Bring your own bags. I use canvas tote bags, that I bought secondhand and that last for years because of their durability. I keep several in my car and they can carry anything. I agree: I chop onions that are getting close to their end and freeze in a zip-lock bag for soups, casseroles, etc. The best aspect about Aldi for me, other than the lower prices, is their small footprint. I know where everything is in their store and I can shop, pay, be in and out in very little time, as opposed to huge supermarkets where I wander, looking at 2 dozen options of one item. I only buy the Aldi store brand. But even Aldi's prices have gone up.
When they added self checkout it stopped being our Favorite😢
@@kimgordon3695 I have no problem with it. It’s all I use now. If I have a red-sticker item that requires a checkout person, they always come quickly to the bell for help and cheerfully adjust the price.
You are so blessed to have an Aldi store close by. We don't have any in the state of WA. I'm praying that they will bring one soon to Eastern WA. I did email the company to request a store where I live. The other day I went to Trader Joe's and I spent $81 on 2 bags of groceries. You got a lot of great things.
I love Aldi also their produce is very well priced.
You’re doing a great job balancing healthy food choices that fit your budget. I love Aldi too and want to try the Coconut Cacao now 😁
Me too! I love anything with coconut and chocolate!
It's wonderful that your girls love snacking on fruit. You've inspired me to make a better attempt at healthy eating!
That's great that you like RED Peppers. They actually have MORE Vitamin C than an orange and LESS sugar. So yummy with hummus~ Oh and I love dipping veggies or apples in pumpkin dip ( I have no qualms about eating pumpkin year round. I buy the organic canned pumpkin puree. Mix some with pure natural pb, ground cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice, a little sweetener of your choice and a little course sea salt.
Good to know!
Hi Kristen, what a great feeling to have your kitchen cupboards and fridge stocked with healthy food. You are an amazing shopper. Loved seeing your grocery haul this week! Happy birthday Hoffman girls 🩷🩷🩷 enjoy your party.
Would love you to share your chicken Parmesan recipe
I was thinking the exact same thing!
Will do!!
Yes, please!
Hi, my husband and I have shopped there for YEARS! It is easy to shop. is clean and fresh produce is always beautiful. No coupons, self-bagging, and smaller selection of items all add to lower costs, I'm sure. We love the crab cakes, shrimp, filets wrapped in bacon, egg rolls, chicken salad with cranberries. LOVE,LOVE Aldi !
I totally agree!
I usually cut my onion & freeze them when I know I can’t use them all fresh! So good to cook for soup or sauces :) ❤
I would be lost without our Aldi store. Besides having great prices they have great Quality items. There is so many things that they carry for holidays and seasonal plants. As an older person it is a blessing to find most of the things i need in one place. the employees are always very nice and helpful also.
So true!
Kristen, I pray you did not experience any of those terrible storms today in the Midwest. 😊❤😊🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏😊❤️😊
Just take the boxes to aldi when you shop😊
Or your own shopping bags. If I only need a few items and I'm doing self check out, I gladly purchase the bags. Love them because they are heavy duty brown paper, very sturdy with handles, and reusable for many things. They are nice enough for gift bags. And my grands love to paint on them.
Try adding a scoop protein powder to your plain Greek yogurt and mix well. It sweetens it and adds more protein!
In the Netherlands it i😅s custom to bring your own reusable grocerybags. Not only for Aldi, but for all grocerystores.
Same in Washington state!
Here in France as well. I think it’s most of Europe.
I wish it was mandatory here in Florida (though I am not in favor of government mandates in generaI). I forget mine 90% of the time. I do recycle the plastic bags. But this is def a good idea
@@jessiebridges7255 you can still buy a plastic bag at 69 cents... but there are no free plastic bags at checkout
It’s mandatory for Pittsburgh Pa region, even though some grocery stores still have plastic bags and just recently they’ve been charging for them. What I do is take a few bags and my Versa Cart, which I use to shop with instead of the store’s cart.
These are almost the same things we buy weekly! I would love to see a video of “what we eat in a week” !
Great idea!!
CAW-CAW from the aisle of shame!! I absolutely love Aldi ❤️
We love Aldi's! They not only have great prices, but their "Aldi finds" are pretty amazing too. It is a fun place to shop!
Hey Kristen! I thought I’d share this with you, I saw in one of your videos you mentioning that you keep getting sick. So ever since I’ve moved into my house four years ago, I have been constantly sick. I did an allergy test a couple of days ago and found out that I am highly allergic to dust mites and our air ducts are filled with so much dust , we now have to get them replaced since they’re in too bad of shape to have cleaned. Apparently it’s more common of an allergy than people think so just throwing it out there! Love your videos!! Can’t wait for the next one 💜💜
I go to Aldis too. Can't beat there produce. Enjoy your channel
Love this content ♥️♥️🌻
I like the potatoes hanging good idea easy to grab and the kitchen is the cooking spot
I agree!
I love Aldi !! I get my meat at a couple other places like Sam’s Club and a local butcher but I do like several meats that Aldi has as well!!
It’s a smaller store so I spend less time wandering around and looking and they have everything we need!!!
My Aldi is 3 blocks from my house ♥️ I do buy many of the things you bought minus the organic. My husband and I are in our late Sixties we eat pretty traditional foods. The foods we’ve been eating our whole lives. I love their bagged Avocados, romaine lettuce, Cherub tomatoes (at our store they do have brand names) all of their cheeses. I buy their fresh chicken and thin pork chops. I love their roaster red pepper hummus, I can go on and on about their groceries but my comment would be many paragraphs so I’ll stop here. ❤
I commend you on your food choices. You have stayed away from processed food for the most part. An emphasis on fruits and veggies is so important. I also note that you said your children mostly snack on fruit, or raisins between meals. In my opinion children consume far too many snacks these days..goldfish, granola bars, cookies, rollups, etc. Three well balanced meals a day and fruit between meals is providing your family with excellent nutrition. BTW, there is nothing better than Irish butter. In Ireland the cows are only grass fed.
This is how my husband and I eat too. I cant wait to get our garden going we love fresh produce
Good buy on the Red Berry cereal ! I find it usually has MORE strawberries than name brand Red Berry does !
I have been shopping there for over 30 years! thanks for sharing
I have an Aldi down the street and in have never gone, here in the south most everyone goes to Publix a huge food chain. I may now have to check them out. Thanks for sharing and giving me a new place to shop. Have a blessed week❤🙏🏻
Girl get yourself to Aldi. I was a Publix shopper for years but started going to Aldi on occasion. About 6/7 months ago we decided to switch to shopping almost exclusively at Aldi and have cut our grocery bill in half (if not more). So many items we prefer the Aldi brand to name brand. My #1 item is chicken. The chicken is never slimy and you can get a big family pack for about the same or less than a regular size pack of Publix chicken.
@@OlivePeacockVintage thank you I will, grew up in Lakeland, Florida where Mr. George lived he and my in-laws were great friends. He was such a great man, first hand experience
@@sheilavanduynfote5539 Publix is a great company. I still work there part-time (couple times a month). I’d like to think Mr. George would still be proud of the company he built.
I drive by Aldi every week and have never gone to this new store! Only shopped at Aldi a couple times, as it was across town from me. Now I have one closer, I should take advantage!😊
Hi! Love this video, Bananas need to kept away from citrus, also I slice or dice onions before they go bad.
I love the Aldi’s cereal with red berries. It’s very tasty and a lot cheaper than Walmart. A lot of times I will have it at night before bed.
Wow! Great haul! I love Aldi, too. You can't beat their prices!
I also am on a journey of choosing better foods for my family. All the stuff thats been coming to light about our food is apalling! I try to buy the best for the best price all while balancing my budget. Its all about balance! I also LOVED! How you decorate with real food! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
HAPPY SUNDAY Kristen, family, and fur baby. Thanks for the grocery haul and your reasons you buy what you buy. I like Aldi too. I love your outfit. STTB
💛 can I just say I love your neighborhood walks, such pretty scenery 🐶
Great ideas and tips 🥰 thank you for sharing
Thanks for watching!
I absolutely love Aldi! ❤️
I’m a big Aldi fan! My husband is too and will only shop there! I’m a big baker, especially during the holidays! I especially love to shop there during the holidays because they have many “specialty” items that are only sold at that time of the year.
It's so good!
I love your videos! Thank you for sharing your Aldi haul.
Thanks for watching!
I love Aldi too!!🥰
Love the way you decorate with your food ❤❤❤
Thank you so much 😊
Kristen this was a great haul! ❤thanks much! Now I’m hungry! 😂😂
From Texas, FRY or bake your taco shells, for sure. I fry ours in organic coconut oil from HEB . Does your cilantro last pretty long? I've been using a tip I saw, make a plastic bag tent over it and secure with rubber band. ( mini greenhouse)
I’ve never thought of that!
I LOVE ALDI!! 🥰💓
Love love love ALDI!!!
Produce looks fantastic there. Can't believe the prices too, so good.
We pay attention to food labels and yes making better choices does save money and important for health. Great haul.
We also love Aldi!! I loved your idea for the potatoes in those sacks on display!!! Loved this video:)
Love Aldis but sadly, closest one is 40 miles away but worth the trip. Thanks Kristen for the helpful tips. I am super impressed that you have taught your family to choose healthy over convenient or flashy. My grands are among the chicken nugget generation. I've tried to keep healthy options for their visits but isn't making much progress.
Also great for misc items. Sometimes I find great finds for home decor too👍! Thanks for sharing your haul. Have an awesome week🌸
Thank you! You too!
This was really interesting, I'm from the UK and we shop at Aldi every week. Some of the items are very different to what we can buy and some of the size of products are much bigger at your Aldi. Xx
Honey I enjoyed your haul. Blessings
We love Aldis, too.
Many of the items you got today, we get.
There's a really good pineapple salsa that is really good. It's a shorter jar than you had with a yellow lid.
That was fun🥳 have a good week!
Thanks! You too!
Love, love Aldi. My favorite thing is their prices. Really helps with my budget.
I love ALDI hummus also
I love your videos, you aint here please us this is your family you buy for I just love that your so honest with it all. Keep the videos coming.❤
I appreciate that
I always go for the red bag chicken it’s so good ❤
We have an Aldi just a mile away, my husband rides his bike there and picks up whatever we need. It is ike a neighborhood store with good prices and produce.
👋New subscriber.
Great haul! 🛍
Love Aldi too! 🧡💙
The perfect snack is fruits and veggies-that's my go-to also. 😊
Aldi was in the news yesterday saying they were lowering prices to fight inflation. Yay! 🎉😃
I love your videos! I should have known better than to watch this grocery haul…I am no ravenously hungry! Off to Aldi I go! Thank you for your sweet and humble spirit!
Thank you for taking us grocery shopping with you. It was fun.🥰🥰
Thanks for coming
I now will have to go and try it!!!! Never have been in the store !!!!
Loved this video!! I have been trying to go to aldis more. Their fruits and veggies are awesome!!
“Y’all”! lol love it!!
I have the Buydeem toaster and tea kettle in like a sea foam blue/green color. So pretty, I love them and never had any problems with them.
So pretty!
Cut up/dice up the onions, seal wwell, and freeze. Good for soups or mix with hamburger for sauces, meatloaf, etc. When lemon and limes start aging out, squeeze the juice out of the fruits and freeze it.
Thank you for sharing! 😊
You are so welcome!
@@KristenHoffman ❤️🌼🦋🍄💐
In the beginning, you mentioned they have no brand names, but the locations I've shopped at in Omaha/Bellevue have items that are brand names. I wonder if it varies based on location? They have great prices & the aisle with homegoods, kitchen gadgets, etc, never disappoints! And we almost always splurge & get some of the German candy!!!
Awesome video!
I’m such an Aldi fan - it’s so great that we are able to buy a lot for very little money . Please make more videos like this too- thanks for the tip to put honey and vanilla extract in yogurt for parfaits. I can’t wait to try it!!!!!! Have a blessed week! Really enjoy watching your videos!
Thank you! Will do!
LOVE Aldi....shop there every week and only go to the other stores to get what Aldi doesnt have. Produce is great and prices the best and lovely staff... we know some by name. My guilty pleasure is their garlic stuffed olives!
Thanks for sharing!!
This might be my favorite video of yours yet! I've shopped Aldi for years yet still some great new info provided. Thanks for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it!
You did good!!
You’ve inspired me to shop at Aldi’s. Can you share your ceviche recipe? Blessings to you and your precious family.
I should! Maybe I can put it in a video!
Yes, please!
@@KristenHoffmanI don’t even know what ceviche is!
Great haul. I love Aldi!
I'll have to try Aldi's! Thank you!
Enjoyed the video!
Hi Kristen..loved this because we love ALDIs and will try some of your ideas too. I am always amazed at how cheap stuff compared to others. I can not tell the difference in condiments. The cheeses are so good especially if you let it set out..,there white cheese round with cranberries is so good. I have not tried their coffee. I love So Good ..low sugar low carb yogurt from Walmart or Krogers. I put a drop of honey in it, I will try what you get. A little over a hundred dollars is not bad. And guess what I think whole milk is fine..My husband drinks a lot of milk and he won’t drink low fat milk. His cholesterol is perfect, as is his glucose. Happy eating and yes I pick up fire roasted often by mistake. You look beautiful as usual.. Oh do you like dates…such a good dessert . Their are a big bag for like four dollars. They are a good sweet treat. ❤❤❤❤
I have to keep fruit in the fridge and also the bread or else things go bad. I had to take savings out to finish out the month for food this last month. I am in SoCal. Thanks, old Joe for all this expense in everything.
Love Aldi!!
Cilantro water is so refreshing.
Since you live in Iowa I would highly recommend buying 1/2 cow from a local farmer and putting it in a deep freeze. It saves money and you will get better quality than Sam’s. It took me years to do this and my only regret is that I didn’t start earlier.
When I have onions going bad I chop them up and put them in a freezer bag and freeze them. When I make dishes like soup or chili they are perfect to add to recipe. Great grocery haul video! Love Aldi!
Great tip!
I just recently discovered Aldi's and I love it for fresh produce, sauces, and cheeses. I love these videos and suggestions of other items that I might not have ever tried. Tfs!❤
So glad!
Love Aldi's! Thanks for showing a few things that I have not tried yet.
It's so good!
I just finished binging every single one of your videos! Will you share your ceviche recipe?
I love Aldi, I agree with you about how you can save money. Thank you for doing this video. ❤
Thanks for watching!
I’m shopping at Aldi’s!!! I usually shop at stew Leonard’s or wild by nature but gonna try Aldi’s! Thanks for sharing
By keeping your fruits & veggies on the counters & such, do you get those little gnats or fruit flies? Also, don't throw your wilted herbs away. Blend them together with your onions & other herbs to make a green seasoning. It can be used on veggies, meats. I make up a batch, put it in ice trays & then into freezer bags.
Agree Aldis is great!! Kathy from Pennsylvania 😊😊😊
