Just started shopping at Aldi and I save sooo much money!!! I used to spend around 600$ per WEEK for 6 ppl, now at Aldi I’ve almost cut that in half!
Please keep the Aldi videos coming. I seriously have cut my grocery bill drastically since shopping at Aldi! I’m obsessed with this store now. I find their foods comparable if not better than name brand food from the big stores. I’m a believer. And there’s a reason the red bag chicken has its own Facebook group…. Yummy
Try their vanilla wafers...you won't be sorry!
Nacho chips are better than Doritos
I like seeing Mindys videos with all the store brand stuff the same that I can get in Michigan. Thank you!
“ hmmm I should really get to work. What?! Mindy just posted! I can procrastinate a little bit longer!!” 😂😂😂
Haha! Thanks!
I buy the winking owl wine, freeze it in ice cube trays, and store for cooking. It tastes better and is so much cheaper per ounce than shelf stable cooking wine.
That’s a great idea!
So smart!
That's a good tip. Thank you
Wow I am going to do that thanks for letting us know.😊
What a great idea! I always replace wine with broth bc I don’t use it often and don’t want to waste it. I’ll definitely be doing this!!
Though prices have gone up at Aldi I do find the majority of items there are cheaper baseline than elsewhere so it’s still where I get the majority of my staples. Thanks for sharing!
I've been an Aldi shopper for years!
It's my absolute favorite place, it has become wildly popular the last 2-3 years. It used to be very quiet at my store and now it's ALWAYS busy.
We use English muffins for mini pizzas, they are delicious!! I would suggest toasting them a bit before adding sauce and toppings otherwise they are little soggy or gummy.
Great idea!
We had these for hot lunch in High School. Kids rushed to get in line as they sold out every time and smelled so good.
We do the same! Easy snack or even meal!
The Aldi premium breakfast sausage, in the tube, is excellent and we use it in spaghetti sauces and soups as well...it's just shy of $2 for pound. It tastes a lot like Italian sausage to me.
I’ve had their breakfast sausage a few times and I really like it, especially for the price. I use Italian sausage in a lot of recipes and read a blog recently that you can add fennel to breakfast sausage to make it taste more like Italian sausage.
100% agree with the BEST Easter candies are the Reese's eggs. I bought three packs of those and ate almost all of them myself, lol.
I only buy reeses peanut butter
Love it
My most random Aldi purchase was a mattress! It was one of the memory foam ones you roll out of a box and it's so comfortable! It was on clearance and has a 20 year guarantee, so I would say it was way worth it!
$99 roll away bed 6 yrs ago. Very comfortable
Love the idea of putting their favorite cereal in there! I have a 21-year-old who’s in his first apartment and I’m sure as we all know is on a very tight food budget. Orange juice is his favorite drink ever so I put individual bottles of OJ in his basket this year lol
Juice is horrible for you
Mmmmm but tastes so good
@@debiwillis9045 Why should juice be terrible for you? This is all about what quality you buy and how you drink of it.
The shelf-stable pepperoni and hard salami are excellent for 'prepping' for those 'what if the power goes out' scenarios, as well as terrific charcuterie tray additions. :)
I just had the Reese’s egg discussion with my friend who had no clue how much better the eggs are than any other Reese’s product! Can you imagine?!?!
If you've never tried Nerds Jellybeans you're missing out- my personal favorite! Aldi is still my go-to for 90% of my food shopping
I agree about the ratio of chocolate:peanut butter but the smooth texture is better than the crinkles, too. I snagged 4 bags of Reese eggs at -70%!!! Gotta love post holiday sales😄 they last for a good while if I hide them in the back of the freezer.
I went to Aldi last night. I have 3 Aldi stores within a 7 mile radius and they are all set up differently There are a lot of items that have increased in price, but many have not. I depends on how you are buying and what you are buying. I also shop at Walmart, but their prices never ring up for what the shelf display shows.
I'm a big fan of Aldi, but mad about their higher prices. Fruit and veg specials are a big draw, and I like their Twice as Nice guarantee. That makes me willing to try nearly any product. I buy canned beans and tomatoes at Aldi for 50-60 cents. Walmart prices them at 75-95 cents. Fresh fruits and veg are 95% of my purchases. I start my shopping at Aldi and visit the Korean or Mexican market to get specialty fruit and veg.
My parents don’t have an Aldi where they live so whenever they travel to see us, they make their Aldi stop and load up on pantry items and of course the aisle of shame! Lol
Gotta visit the Aldi aisle of shame!
My daughter hates pb, so I was so glad to find York peppermint patty eggs. I live in Rochester -NY and would not be able to afford to feed my family without Aldi!!! Love your videos!
The seasonal Reese’s are so much better then the normal round ones! Totally agree with you!
Love peeps
Candles! Aldi candles are my favorite. They remind me of Bath & Body Works but less than a 1/4 of the cost. I also buy most of my produce and dairy products from Aldi.
My favorite place to buy spices is at a health food store. It can be bought by the ounce and is very fresh. I just refill my spice container. I look on the container to see how many ounces originally came in it and go from there. I especially like buying poultry seasoning and other seasonal spices as I can buy only the quantity that I need.
I wish I had an Aldi near me, I still enjoy watching these videos even though I can't shop there myself. I also don't care for Peeps - I'm always grateful for any candy or treat that I don't like.
Here in south FL, I find that Aldi still have the best prices on canned goods across the board (fruit, veg, beans). Aldi's spices however are typically around $0.25-1.00 higher than our Walmart prices. I think Aldi is really heading for a hurting in the U.S. with the extreme price jumps their CEO announced last week. Chicken breasts are now $3.69/lb at Aldi, and Walmart's still putting them at $1.99. Aldi also seems to have very little chicken breasts available in the flat packs - haven't seen any in 2+ weeks in spite of the ridiculous price.
Chicken breast at my Wal-Mart are $2.97/lb and always out of stock. 😒
Have others noticed the incidence of "rubbery" chicken increasing? 😜 My family members here in S. CA have talked about this for a couple years now. It never used to be an issue. Now, about a third of every pkg of fresh chicken I buy will have at least a segment that is of a rubbery texture. I've begun using my meat mallot to beat the breasts, and that helps somewhat. Is this happening in other locales too?
No Aldi in Nevada 😪. When I visit my daughter and her family in Georgia I get to go to Aldi (sometimes I bring groceries back in my suitcase from Aldi when returning home).
We don't have a Aldis close but I think we have dollar stores. My neighbor shops at them. I just still go to Walmart for everything. Don't have the gas to jump around. I love the original Cadbury eggs. Their very sweet but I usually get at least 2 and throw them in the freezer. My brother gave me a Carmel one. It's o.k. but still like the original one. The Peeps wouldn't be so bad if they weren't so sugary. Way to sweet!! I watched someone make the Rice Krispie treats using the peeps instead of regular marshmallows. I think I'm going to try making them. Have a good week. 🦋
Have you tried the Aldi PB Cups that they sell year round. Not exactly like Reece’s seasonal but the ratio PB / Chocolate is really good, IMO.
I actually like their Aldi's brand much better than Reese"s!
I used to be a huge Aldi shopper. I would go on my lunch break & stock up. That was before Walmart Grocery Pickup. I despise grocery shopping with kids. I have not worked outside the home since 2017. I use grocery Pickup about 99% of the time. My husband's schedule recently changed though. I've told him that I want to go back to shopping at Aldi on a day that he is off work. Wish me luck.
We just got a Aldi last week. Perfect timing
We love the pretzels that mimic Dots Pretzels, in the Clancy brand. Also the pepperoni you mentioned is good. A staple that we get almost every week from Aldi is the carton of liquid egg whites. It’s cheaper than anyplace else. My husband likes the protein wraps they carry, and their roasted ,salted peanuts. He also loves their copycat of Triscut crackers, which I learned about from you, Mindy! Cheaper, and better tasting! Their produce is priced really well, but sometimes isn’t the best. Other times it’s great. So, I have to watch that. Sometimes they have great holiday candy. Oh, their copycat of canned Manwich sauce is delicious! Better tasting than Manwich! Makes amazing sloppy joes!👍
The German coffee at Aldi is our favorite. So good!
I scored a few boxes of the Reese's bunnies cereal the day after Easter for $1.24. I didn't know cereal could be that cheap! 🤣 Love Aldi!
Great find!
I still pick up my coffee from Aldi - Fair Trade Organic Whole Bean from Peru. It is so good and as the only coffee drinker in my house...each bag last me approximately a month or two. I do pour overs some mornings and some mornings I use my 1950 Pyrex glass stove percolator. Makes for a good morning smelling the coffee in the perculator.
The nearest Aldi to me is about a 45 mile round trip! Highway up the mountain or down the mountain! Each location has an Aldi, a Walmart and a Sam's Club. I drive a 2006 Ford Fusion that basically gets 25mpg on average unless I use my air-conditioner- I always wonder, especially with gas prices so high currently if I am actually saving money in the long run. I usually end up shopping at my local Food Lion and only buying sale, BOGOs or manager specials. Sorry for rambling. My Dad still loves the original Peeps! He's 88! Thank you so much for sharing with us 🌻😁
IF you're going to the big city anyway then sure shop the cheaper stores, but I've seen small 1 grocery store towns lose their local grocery because almost everyone decided to make it to the big city for their shopping and would say "well the local guy is too expensive". Then suddenly the local grocery closes and now with gas a $4 a gallon you are forced to drive 30 miles each way for staples when you could have just supported the local grocery a tiny bit more and they'd still be overpriced in comparison but not a blighted vacant building and not unemploying 15-20 of your neighbors. If you can buy locally when it makes sense..
@@markbajek2541 I definitely agree!
I am one of those mom and pop stores. We rent the store space from an oil company, they take 11% of our store sales. We make a 1.5 cent per gallon commission on the gas which amounts to roughly $21 a day. That pays for the electricity to the pumps all the canopy lights, etc. Then the electricity for inside, water, inventory, workman's comp insurance. Our payroll is equal to all the other expenses put together. (They are so worth it, though. We wish we could pay them more.) With the gas price increase customers are putting more money in their tank and not spending so much in the store. We had to cut hours which effects those families who in turn have less to spend on groceries that have gotten more expensive. Our prices are going up EVERY WEEK!
@@pookiesmamma I live in a small town- my neighbors manage a local store. I know the owner of our local IGA- if you need anything specific ordered they are happy to help 😊 I would much rather spend a bit more for my groceries and household goods to keep my limited money in my community than to support high gas prices and dubious sources for the products I use. Thank you and best wishes 🌻
@@juliemariariley3212 I used to shop at an IGA. It was about 10 miles from where I lived and would do my big grocery shopping trips there. Thanks for the encouragement! I believe in shopping local and we do for the large part. Sometimes you just gotta make that trip or use Amazon. 🤷
I always pick up the canned veggies. They're half the price of any other store! ❤️ Aldi
What a great idea! I think I’m going to make a deal with Santa and The Easter bunny to help them out with my kids gifts and baskets. ❤️
My daughter gets name brand cinnamon life for Christmas or anytime I can find it on sale I buy her a box. And she’s married with two children of her own now. I also think Aldie has pretty good prices on nuts. I snack on that’s quite a bit and I think Aldie has a good selection and for the price is good and they’re not in such huge containers where they’re going to go stale for me since I live alone
I love cinnamon Life too! I recently paid $1.99/box at my Vons grocery store. I stock up when it goes on sale! 😊
My fave Aldi coffee is named "German Brand Coffee"...17 ounces, used to be $4.99, it's $6ish now...I love the Mild one, it says 'smooth and creamy' on it..It comes in a paper package, with a hard brick in foil inside.. you do have to transfer it to another contained for ease of use.
My daughters love squishmallows and have way too many now. My husband threatens to get rid of them almost daily. They're taking over their bedroom. LOL. And I definitely agree about the Reese's eggs. Love the PB to chocolate ratio. I can't understand why the thin PB cups are even a thing. It makes no sense to me. Thanks for the videos. I Love watching them. 👍❤️
It is definitely very funny how prices vary so much from place to place. My Walmart prices are lower than yours but my Aldi prices are higher. I still do most of my shopping at Aldi bc I think their store brand stuff is better. The kids Easter baskets look great. Mine got bathing suits this year since we're headed to Great Wolf Lodge next week! Thanks for the video. Have a wonderful day!
Thank you for the video! I love a grocery video!
I scored on butter abt 1 week ago, $1.64 limit 6!!
That’s a great deal!
Ooh excellent deal! I saved up my rewards points at my local grocery store last quarter and stocked up on three 8-ounce bottles of maple syrup and 6 pounds of butter for free. I was very happy! At Christmas, they gave me a WHOLE 20 pound ham for free with my reward points. I live alone. I'm going to be eating ham until the end of days!
I hope we get an Aldi soon in my area. Everyone seems to love it. Great video ✌🏼
I've been drinking their coffee ford YEARS. It is THE BEST. I go out of my way to make a trip for it... I buy it by the case every time I go LOL. We also enjoy their salsa and get a case each time as well and go through a few jars a week. I like to get their angus burgers in the boxes as well... better price than Walmart. We usually get cheese there as well but it's been on par with Walmart pricing lately. I do pick up Naan as well. It's definitely the best prince in town. I don't get them but the bagels are dirt cheep too!
I did my second Aldi trip this week. Mt first trip was a few months ago and I hadn't gone back for a while because I wasn't thrilled that I couldn't get everything there, but I'm gonna give it another try now that our budget is a little tighter.
I take that back I just emptied my Walmart bags my Keurig K cups for a brew over ice 20 4K cups for five dollars I’m even more excited because of your channel I have learned to look at the clearance aisle and the clearance rack for foods I’m so excited
I really enjoy Aldi. They have recently ran out of Fig Newtons and I'm not sure they are discontinuing them or not. Cheeses, lunch meats, breads, the list goes on for products I love to buy. I also wish we had a Winco.
Oh no!!! Love those cookies!
Love the Reese’s egg too! So yummy! Great video.
The pub style pretzels as so good!
I love their candles!
my aldi go to: in the product section just to the right in the refrigerated section there is a chicken tortellini that I love for soups when I am not feeling good.
Awesome haul and ideas, thanks for sharing 👍👍👍
Totally agree about the Reese's eggs--the best!
Funny cause I went to Aldi's today and yeah some stuff has went up, but it's still a deal compared to other stores. Also I laughed when I saw the block cheese because that was the main thing I went to Aldi's for and yet I walked out without it 🤦🏾♀️ 😂
I have done that sort of thing many times! Glad I’m not alone! 🤣
I just found shredded Gouda cheese at Aldi yesterday!😋🥳🥳
I still find good deals at my Aldi. I love your videos.
Great finds!!👍🏽👍🏽I love aldi!!
Those Aldi buys are on point. Try to keep the pasta sauce and salsa on hand. I’ll have look for the specialty pasta. Their Indian summer sauces are wonderful!
Peanut Butter Cups-there are superior to Reses, now they are only in creamy but they are so delicious. I buy 3 bags every time I pop into aldi which is once a month, I live in phoenix az & it’s now 100 degrees outside so I keep these in a mason jar in my main fridge & keep the other bags in the extra fridge in my laundry room. They do get a bit melty in the summer in the cabinet in the kitchen.
Thank you for posting videos like these! I’ve been watching/listening to your videos for a while now and have managed to be able to cut my grocery budget nearly in half but not having to cut out the things my family loves, it’s been really helpful especially with baby on the way. Thank you x3! ❤️
I moved to a place that has Aldi's in November. Now I'm waiting for their German week. I haven't physically been in a store yet, but I've got my quarter ready and I want to check out the aisle of shame!
I bought the same Harry Potter water bottle from Amazon. It is definitely my favorite water bottle that I have had. Your oldest is going to love it! ❤️
We have an Aldi being Putin here in McComb, Mississippi and I am SO EXCITED!!!
Still a fan of Aldi! But as for Peeps- only way to eat them is to toss in the trash😂
I’m with you! I’m not a fan. Lol
That same Bronze Cut Pasta was $1.75 at my local Aldi's on Thursday in Pennsylvania. Love your videos by the way.
Was in there today. I love the green onions for $.69 amongst many of the things you mentioned. Prices are rising, but this store is still cheaper usually. We have a Lidl nearby, so there's price competition for sure and I enjoy looking at the sales flyers and shopping accordingly.
I use green onions all the time. I buy green onions once in a while, then after using the green part, put the root ends in a jar of water and they regrow in a week or so. I get 2 or 3 crops before they get too stinky. (Replace the water every other day.)
@@suzannewebb7661 I do the same! =)
I love Aldi, i was able to restock my pantry for less, and i also have cut my grocery bill. I have been able to find items on the foods i really like that are delicious for less and look forward to eating at home instead of eating out. i love the marinated turkey tenderloins. i discovered canned potatoes due to Aldi.. I just cook for me and dont like leftovers but aldi has me liking leftovers. this week i have found that the cold case meatballs ( the italian sausage was the same packaging) were delicious as was the Reggano Traditional pasta sauce. i made meatball sliders. i love the freezer section pork sausage links and that sausage roll that was in the video and the center cut bacon was my favorite. those waffles for 99 cents are excellent as are the spices for under a dollar.. i found their baking aisle very reasonable.. the cooking oils are excellent deals.. the deli black forest ham, bread, and i love the cheese they make excellent fast grilled ham and cheese melts.. the ground beef has made many good meals. i loved the dirty rice mix, i add ground beef and polska kielbasa.. they have jiffy mixes for cornbread. fast filling meal.. everything i have tried in frozen section has been top notch.. the bread aisle, the cookies and snack aisles.. yeah.. i love going in there and finding new things.. will try that apple cinnamon muffin mix with the struesel.. Thank you! i loved the tips!
It’s funny that you mentioned the Great Value coffee; l just started drinking it and l was surprised how good it was. My husband loves *anything* that is Reeces, but my favorite are the Cadbury eggs! 😁 Great video!
I've just recently started to shop at Aldi.I was going to go today, but am so glad I decided to wait until tomorrow because now I have some great ideas!!! I've written them down while I was watching. Thanks so much.BTW, awesome Easter baskets you put together for your kids!! Not a huge Peeps fan, but my Mom was, so now I love them too.
Thanks! Glad I could give some ideas!
I love their wing sauce that is called Asian Kick which is a dupe of a certain BWW sauce!
Aldi has been carrying their brand of original line pods for the Nespresso. They are pretty good.
THANKS!👍🏾 Nespresso brand is soooo expensive! Will check out Aldi's!❤️
i agree the egg Reese peanut butter cups are the best . im addicted to any and all peanut butter cups
A good substitute for the reese's shapes is the Big cup.
Always watch for kids educational tools. The had these cute spelling, counting, and math puzzles a while back. My four year old absolutely loves them.
I love Aldi. Their brand of tortilla chips are awesome and much cheaper than other stores. We also love their banana nut bread and the seasonal isle. Love your videos ❤
I love the seasonal reese's! They just taste better! Gonna have to see if anyone has any marked down from easter, Because Halloween is a long way away! Also love the seasonal snickers. The little squares. Just a tiny bite of delicious.
Love Aldi! I buy the organic coffee for $5.50 which is a great deal for organic. Plus I love to grind it it smells so good 😊
Really enjoyed video! Thanks for the help. Thanks Mindy Jennifer 😂
Love their produce much better prices than regular grocery stores. They have a great selection of cheeses and meats for a Charcuterie board. And I have had good luck with their soy candles we really like them as well.
I love peeps! My Aldi hasn’t had the two-pack whole chickens for about 6 months. Still can’t beat the price on their organic, fair trade coffee, which is so good. Huge Aldi fan.
Starburst jelly beans are my absolute favorite!
Great presentation. Peeps are so sweet, but I always eat one pack every year .
Not a peeps fan! I do love your food ideas,they are so inspiring! Thank you!
Kimberly Wad just did a peanut butter "reese" recipe!!! Looked like a good amount of peanut butter to chocolate!
Wow your Aldi is so stocked up on pasta!!
Yes a peeps fan love to leave the package open for a few days to get dried out.
I’ve heard other say that, too! They like them get crunchy. Lol
Yes!
We have shopped Aldi for years and having a bigger family, at has helped so much
They seem to keep adding more and getting better. In a pinch and a quick meal, the pizza in the cooler section is actually pretty good!!! Oh, the breakfast bowls are really good also.
Just wondering where you got those beautiful baskets?
Thank you! Stopping by ALDI today!!!!
Hope you find some great deals!
Reese's holidays are my favorite. I always wait for them. And I use to eat the cups and wait for easter. Now I just save my peanut butter chocolate cravings for the holidays 🥳🥳
I like your eye shadow in this vid lol
my Aldi never has the dark roast so i can't get a good deal on coffee, and coffee is life
Great video. I like Aldi as well. I will shop there when I'm in the "big town" which is 1/2 hour away from me either way. Have you heard that millions of chickens, here in the U.S., have been killed due to the bird flu? I wonder if that's why the Aldi is short on chicken. I stock up on spices as well. The last time I was at Aldi, which is a new store, I bought a bunch of vegetables. They were so good and fresh! Reese's ROCKS! Thanks for the video. Hope you all had a great Easter.
their salsa is so yummy 😋
Great video! Chicken noodle soup at Aldi $.69 . . . everyone else $1.00 and more! . . . and that includes Sam's Club! Love their Stove Top Stuffing knock-off . . . perfect! . . . not as spicy! Ice cream sandwiches . . . still $1.97 . . . Walmart raised theirs to $2.36! Thank you!
Aldi this week had chicken legg quarters 49 cents got 30 pounds for 14.70
My ALDI had that deal too. Basically, 10 pounds of Tyson chicken for $5.
Yes great score
It's cool that you can still find good deals! We don't have Aldi here, but I have been comparing prices between Walmart + Target and looking for the lowest at each store.
I've noticed Target is cheaper on a lot of grocery stuff these days over Walmart. I comparison shop between Target, Aldi, and Walmart. What I can't find at Aldi is usually 20-30 cents cheaper at Target, which kind of shocked me!
We live on the border of Virginia and North Carolina, the difference between prices at Aldi in VA and NC is surprising. For example, NC eggs will be over $2 a dozen and in VA it will be less than $1 for a dozen. Still love Aldi, we just know that some prices are better at once vs the other.
I noticed the same on the pepperoni🥰
Aldi spices come from McCormick- they’re a great deal!
Try the peanut butter cups at Aldi. They are better than reeses in my opinion. I love aldi for produce, dairy and baking supplies. Still the best prices.
