Hi Christine, the strompwaffle caramel biscuits; if you make a coffee (or tea) take 1 & balance on the top of the cup, the warmth heats the caramel just enough to make them sooooo gooey & delish 😋 xx
They are only seasonal unfortunately and both Aldi's near me already out of them. I stocked up and they gone. They have them every winter and almost 50% cheaper then the name brand. Agreed my favorite Aldi's product.
My Aldi had eggs for $2.22 this week! They had been over $4 there as of 2 weeks ago. I’m hoping that’s a sign that egg prices are going to start dropping.
I’m low carb, so a lot of the store is off limits for me. But I love the garlic, ginger, and basil tubes! They don’t have to be refrigerated until they’re opened (great pantry items!) And a lot of these type of products have added sugar; Aldi’s does not.
I don’t want to make you jealous but I live in Germany in a small town with about 30000 people and we have 3 ALDIs and 1 LIDL. But you have got Costco. I was at Costco one time in Las Vegas and I loved it.
Fun fact Aldi and Trader Joe's was started by brothers in Germany. They had a rift over something, one brother got the Aldi name and the other started TJs
Trader Joe’s was started in California but acquired by one branch of the Aldi/Albrecht family empire; Aldi in the US is owned by the other branch. Aldi Nord and Aldi Sur, each owns one.
Crofton Bakeware has never done me wrong! Bought a dutch oven from them about 6 years ago and it's still in perfect shape. Also, love that most of their stuff has warranties alongside the amazing Aldi return policies.
Fun fact I live in Denmark and we have had a lot of ALDI’s but not anymore. ALDI has chosen to shut down all their stores in Denmark after 25 years. They could not compete with other discount stores anymore. Luckily I live only 45 minutes away from the border between Denmark and Germany. I do shop monthly in Germany anyways. I’ve done that for many years because it’s a lot cheaper than in Denmark, even though Germany is also affected by inflation, just like Denmark and many other countries are
During the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays ALDI carries a Hawaiian roll stuffing mix that is to absolutely die for! I sauté up some celery and onions in butter and add that to the mix with chicken stock and it’s my favorite. I literally buy 10 or more boxes every time I see them so I can have them through the year.
Your makeup looks perfect! Thank you for your help in being frugal! I love being frugal and doing my best to live below my means while still enjoying life to the fullest with a grateful heart! ❤️
I was there yesterday. Always buy produce at Aldi. 3.49 a bag for Apples, .99 bags baby carrots, 2.39 for a large bag of fresh string beans, .49 avocados, 1.79 for a bag od yellow onions $1.99 goat cheese logs. Not to mention the easy foods like granola and yogurt, 2.39 for eggs. Love them! 👋
I have no idea the best way to communicate with you, so here goes. I just watched "Grocery Store in My Basement", nicely done! I just wanted to pass on that your air filters need to be kept in the plastic they were purchased in while you are storing them. Otherwise they will collect all the dust in the air while they are sitting there not in the furnace. Then when you go to put them in the furnace they will already be full of dust, still usable but dusty. Just wanted to share what I've experienced. Happy day...
Aldi sells Benton's Caramel Coconut Fudge Cookies, and I absolutely love them because they taste exactly like the Carmel deLites girl scout cookies, although these are around $2 a package instead of $8. I buy several packs, dump them in ziplock bags and freeze them so can have a few anytime! That's been my favorite Aldi find.
It's so funny to see that the exact same brands that ALDI sells in Germany, are present in the US as well. Crofton, Crane, Moser Roth etc. We have those as well. Also, if you can grab some winter running gear from ALDI, it's so good. Their winter running tights are my favourite tights ever. My favourite product though is their French Macarons. I just can't not buy any whenever I'm at ALDI. And lastly a smarta** remark: the "K" in Knoppers is not silent, so it's KNoppers, not Noppers :)
Love LeCroix it’s carbonated with flavor and has no sugar. I don’t drink soda anymore but with some meals we want something carbonated. Also great with vodka!
My family loves the tiki masala simmer sauce and their garlic naan. Hear me out. You can make it for dinner with chicken, broccoli and the naan OR… you can shred the chicken add the sauce cut up the naan toast it and then eat as a dip (Indian Buffalo chicken dip). We also like it with fresh veggies (carrots celery, broccoli).
Knoppers are my favorite “Aldi treat.” I buy a pack and hide it somewhere. Then I find it two months later and it’s just the best surprise from past-me ever! 😊
I love the dark chocolate/sea salt bars, they are wrapped in pink paper at the check out counter (where I shop) awesome!! I also like the dark chocolate sea salt carmels. SO good!
You are so entertaining and resourceful and I learn so much from you. I really like how you always include your family in your taste testing. I do shop at Aldi's all the time and I like their prices and the size of their stores.
✋ I love Aldi's! I have a food allergy to red 40 and Aldi's is perfect for me. Their treats are usually just basic ingredients without all the artificial stuff. Plus they're cheaper! I LOVE Aldi's peanut butter. It's better than any other brand that I've tried.
I get most of my produce at aldi and I love their blocks of Asiago cheese! Also a fan of their cheese and chocolate advent calendars that hit the shelves at the beginning of November.
Went to my first Aldi when I vacationed in Florida last summer. Christine, we need to petition Aldi to come to Idaho and Utah!! 🤣 Editing to add: you are right about TSA precheck. Life changing!
Contact Aldi and make request for store. I did that for both Trader Joe’s and Aldi. I wrote to them multiple times a year and proposed best areas. It took a couple of years, but they ended up doing it.
@@mariaTsounakis1521 I imagine it took a lot more than just a customers request to come to a specific area, but I’m glad you got those stores close. I have a Trader Joe’s an hour away in Gainesville Fl. Aldi is a quarter mile away I can literally walk to. I drive so I don’t get hit. Trader Joe’s has mandarin chicken and butter waffle cookies I love!
@@mariaTsounakis1521 we’re about to get a sprouts in the next town over. It’s a retirement community called the villages in Fl. I always try to save extra money to go to a store I wound t normally go to because it’ll put a monkey wrench in my budget
Yes, Toffee is my goto when candy sampling. Russell Stover was the first I had as a kid and loved them. We love our Aldi's and always get the Peanut Butter Cups bag in the candy end cap in our store. We also get avocadoes for less than 50 cents each and tortilla chips for guacamole fun.
I'm not that crazy about all of the cauliflower products, but we LOVE the cauliflower pizza!! We get a cheese one each week and put all of our favorite toppings on it. Highly recommend👍🏻
If you don’t have an Aldi near you, most extra large market side pizzas at Walmart are around the same price. In south Louisiana it’s $7.84 for an extra large (size weight as the one in the video) pepperoni
aldi is a bi weekly trip for me! I LOVE ALDI!!!! They have an amazing precooked package of pulled pork that I use for quick lunches at the office, add it to salads or mac n cheese or just eat alone it's so convenient. the crofton brand has everything my kitchen doesn't need but my heart does!
I've only been to Aldi's once, we have one in my town. Didn't know what to expect and was really confused when they didn't bag our groceries but definitely worth another visit. Love the reference from A Goofy Movie! Also, I just want to see the faces of the people watching you at the grocery talking very excitedly to your camera. lol
We have an Aldi about a mile from where we live. Been shopping there for years. Produce, dairy, and baked goods are the best prices around. I do enjoy browsing the "fun" aisles for bargains as well. Love your Dollar Tree "food" shopping tips as well.
I am in love with the Aldi - a few of my favorites are the Habanero Cheese sticks - they come individually wrapped in a bag, usually under $3. Perfect snack with a glass of wine. I think the season is over but the Cocoa Dusted Belgian Truffles were bomb - not too sweet. Also goes good with red wine lol. I'm definitely going to grab another box of the Leprecones this month! The toasted coconut cookie thins are so good too. I try not to get too many snacks when I shop, but the prices on produce and meat cannot be beat. I stocked my freezer last month with 50% off chicken! I'm sorry you have to fly to go to an Aldis. Literally, the first thing I checked on Google Maps before I bought my house was making sure there was one within 20 miles. Hahaha
🤚Yes to toffee & Yes to Aldi! I am so thankful we have an Aldi in our town. My absolute favorite thing at Aldi that you have to try (if they have them) is Cocoa Dusted Truffles. 🤤 My boys love them too. Unfortunately, I only see them around Christmas & Valentine's Day, so I may have a section in my pantry devoted to them which is currently holding my supply for the year. Also, the eggs have come down at my Aldi, but our Walmart has a dozen for $1.93. 😬
Thanks for the tips, Christine. Just came back from Aldi with two dozen eggs (the price was $2.29 per dozen!) and a frozen pizza, along with a bunch of other food. I would have bought more pizzas, but there's no more room in my freezer!
Their cheese popcorn is to die for! I love Aldi's, but another popular store had 18 3ggs for 2.07 😳. I wish Aldi's would carry pumpernickel bread. I guess I will have bake my own. Sigh Over 4.50 for a loaf that is now half the size at the other store!
I can walk out of Aldi with about $30 worth of items versus the same items at another close grocery store would run me about $65. I'm a little spoiled with having one about 5 min away.
When I worked at Aldi, the store manager had flexibility to set the store prices for some basic things like eggs and milk (and other things). So the prices for some items can really vary from store to store. Also, sadly, the Aldi stores around me don’t carry the Blue Bell!
Interesting. I’d guess to be competitive & market to customers who have other choices nearby? My nearest ALDI is w/in minutes of 3 other stores that sell groceries and I’ve noticed some items they seem to compete on w/their loss leaders or staples.
The carnitas seasoned pork in the meat aisle is our FAVORITE. We stock up every time we go. They freeze well and just need to be cooked in the crockpot.
I really like Aldi’s cottage cheese and the caramel macchiato creamer. Eggs have been ridiculous, and I have found them cheaper at WM in my town than Aldi. The prices have come down quite a bit recently, and I am so glad!
IDK what Aldi's does to their cottage cheese, but it is the best, hand's down. Those and the frozen fried ravioli mean we're never going to stop shopping there.
PSA: Eggs at the Natick, MA Aldi were $4.99. Definitely some differences depending on the region. It's also been found that a lot of Aldi's produce also doesn't last as long (I've been burned multiple times), so either only get the things that last a while to start with or if you plan to get things that can go bad quickly, make sure you actually eat them quickly. Personal example: the lifespan of Aldi vs Trader Joe's broccoli is wildly different.
I think this depends 100% where you live, how quickly the store runs through the product and how far the product has to travel. I am in N Florida and have produce in my fridge from Aldi right now I bought almost two weeks ago.
My husband can't tolerate corn syrup sweetener but packs his lunch and won't drink plain water. Aldi has a fruit flavored bottled water that is UNCARBONATED! This is so hard to find but he loves it and we buy cases for his lunch bag.
My kids and I LOVE shopping at Aldi!!! Great prices and most products are organic. You will taste the difference between their quality of fruits (organic) between other grocery stores.
I have a new big Aldi .4 miles from my work and an older Aldi .2 miles from my house. I also work 4.5 miles from my home. Aldi are plentiful for me. I was actually just there to pick up the Small Strides diapers for a birthday present. My kids used Target brand diapers, but I know many that swear by the Aldi diapers. Thankfully I'm way past that stage with my kids. I love love love the slice cheeses, they are about half the price as our Albertson store. But our absolute go to is the Season's Choice 20 count box of hash brown patties! The price has gone up to $5.50 a box, but they are worth it. We airfry them every weekend
You need to try their cocoa dusted chocolate truffles if you can find them. These are, hands down, the BEST bite of chocolate bliss you will find anywhere!
I go to Aldi every week for my groceries. The aisle of shame got me yesterday! I picked up some hiking boots for $22 and the Studio McGee knock off terracotta bowl for $20.
The pizza dough puck that's in the refridgerator section! Sometimes it is in the vegetables, sometimes its with the cheese/meat section. I get it every week! It's kind of sour dough type but kind of not. All you do is pull it and stretch it until you get the shape you want, add sauce and veggies, and bake. Sooooo good.
I love their "Oreos", their chicken fries in an air fryer, my $30 6 qt clearance air fryer, their whole wheat bread, pita chips, specifically the cilantro jalapeno hummus (I wish they sold it individually), their chocolate ice cream (the normal one, not the premium, it tastes like blue bunny), their fresh brats, apple cider when in season, fresh salmon and steelhead trout, casarecce pasta (they stopped carrying in my store 😢), Chipotle's in adobo, corn tortillas, "Rotel", man so many things. I feel bad for all of you who don't have an Aldi. I contemplated getting one of those decorative Aldi buildings at Christmas in the style of Christmas villages just because I love Aldi so much!
The Aldi Girl Guide (oops Canadian here!) Girl Scout cookie knockoffs are the bomb. I also always get pop-tarts, trail mixes, and wafer cookies. Along with many other products that are refrigerated or way too heavy for a suitcase when we make our 1 1/2 hour trip across the border to shop.
I am lucky to have 2 Aldi's in my city 😊 We love their frozen orange chicken, priano frozen ravioli, fresh produce, organic ketchup, specially maple syrup, stok iced coffee and so much more.
Omega trail mix - almonds, cranberries, dried mango, walnuts, and pepitas $4.99 for 14oz. Their brioche buns are amazing as well! Best prices on flour and sugar too!!
Toffee lover here!!!!!! It is my favorite “candy”, especially with chocolate. As far as toffee candy bars, I love SKOL bars over Heath. You HAVE TO eat the chocolate off first and then eat the toffee. I also LOVE werther’s originals and butterscotch. Basically, I love the buttery toffee and buttery candy.
My fav gymnastics event was the floor & unevens, but I'm over 60 now & things don't 'flex' like they used to so I just watch & reminisce. My grandson loves STEM projects. Aldi by my house opens this spring! Sooo excited!
We, too, don’t have an Aldi close. My parents had one by them that I’d only been to a couple times, but they’ve both passed now so I’m never out where they lived anymore
Christine- "If I have everything the way I want it, I'm perfectly flexible"needs to be your next T-shirt you sell !
I’m getting a Tshirt that says, “ I don’t care that you are silently correcting my Grammer.”
Hi Christine, the strompwaffle caramel biscuits; if you make a coffee (or tea) take 1 & balance on the top of the cup, the warmth heats the caramel just enough to make them sooooo gooey & delish 😋 xx
Yes this! A mug of hot chocolate and dip your strompwaffle in it.
They are only seasonal unfortunately and both Aldi's near me already out of them. I stocked up and they gone. They have them every winter and almost 50% cheaper then the name brand. Agreed my favorite Aldi's product.
Love me a stroopie! Special treat for Christmas
@@jennyl.5358 seasonal? Really? In Poland we have them all year long. I think you can find them in every store.
@@E.S.K.
Wish I lived in Poland
My Aldi had eggs for $2.22 this week! They had been over $4 there as of 2 weeks ago. I’m hoping that’s a sign that egg prices are going to start dropping.
Yes came here to say the same thing!
Mine was $2.11!!

Low carb come on live a little aldi has a lot of delicious low carb foods
I concur on the herb tubes!! 👍
Aldi by me just started carrying keto bagels and they are amazing! Not as dense as a normal bagel, but still hits the spot.
Fun fact Aldi and Trader Joe's was started by brothers in Germany. They had a rift over something, one brother got the Aldi name and the other started TJs
I was just about to share this exact thing.
To sell cigarettes or not was the “argument “. Love Aldi btw!
Trader Joe’s was started in California but acquired by one branch of the Aldi/Albrecht family empire; Aldi in the US is owned by the other branch. Aldi Nord and Aldi Sur, each owns one.
Interesting story about Aldi. I love that store.
And lidi is also owned by one do them
Aldi is the only store my family shops week to week. No need for coupons or sales and it's still the cheapest place where I live
Crofton Bakeware has never done me wrong! Bought a dutch oven from them about 6 years ago and it's still in perfect shape. Also, love that most of their stuff has warranties alongside the amazing Aldi return policies.
Happy to hear that because my partner picked one up just a couple months ago and I was unsure of the quality!

Do not sleep on Aldi! Love that place. Their grass fed/Kerrygold off brand butter is the best, and amazing price!
Thanks for the tip!
During the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays ALDI carries a Hawaiian roll stuffing mix that is to absolutely die for! I sauté up some celery and onions in butter and add that to the mix with chicken stock and it’s my favorite. I literally buy 10 or more boxes every time I see them so I can have them through the year.
My Aldi had them after the holidays marked down. I bought 10 boxes for $0.59 each. I was so excited!
I only bought one to try which I still have. I need to make it I guess.
@@amandasnailtasticnails9657 oh…. Please do!! Game changer!
You will probably thank me🥰😋
I am so blessed to have an Aldi in my town. I love my wok! Hope yours works out for you too. Another awesome video Christine!!🙂💓💓

In Ireland & UK we refer to it as the middle aisle, no shame here, only bargains 🙂
I was there yesterday. Always buy produce at Aldi. 3.49 a bag for Apples, .99 bags baby carrots, 2.39 for a large bag of fresh string beans, .49 avocados, 1.79 for a bag od yellow onions $1.99 goat cheese logs. Not to mention the easy foods like granola and yogurt, 2.39 for eggs. Love them! 👋

"Grocery Store in My Basement", nicely done! I just wanted to pass on that your air filters need to be kept in the plastic they were purchased in while you are storing them.

I'm proudly an Aldi nerd!! I was on withdrawal while in the mountains of CO last Summer. Give me Aldi and Dollar Tree!! ❤️.
The organic pasta sauce (forgot the name) is especially delicious. If you can get the arrabbiata, grab it. So good and versatile
Aldi sells Benton's Caramel Coconut Fudge Cookies, and I absolutely love them because they taste exactly like the Carmel deLites girl scout cookies, although these are around $2 a package instead of $8. I buy several packs, dump them in ziplock bags and freeze them so can have a few anytime! That's been my favorite Aldi find.

Are the macarons a store brand or? Wondering what to look for when I go as my DIL is originally from Europe and loves them.
Bravo Tyler, I had no idea you were doing Gymnastics. CONGRATULATIONS 🎊
Love ALDIs croissants, chicken salad, cashews, hash brown Pattie’s and the fresh veggies are better than the chain stores
Love LeCroix it’s carbonated with flavor and has no sugar. I don’t drink soda anymore but with some meals we want something carbonated. Also great with vodka!

SAME!!! Me too! Nodding! 😁
Hi, I paid 1.99 for a doze n eggs at Aldi this week, and yes I stocked up! Thanks for your tips!!
La Croix and Aldi's version are amazing for someone like me who tries to get in all of my water (gallon a day) ... but I still love the bubbles!
I love the dark chocolate/sea salt bars, they are wrapped in pink paper at the check out counter (where I shop) awesome!! I also like the dark chocolate sea salt carmels. SO good!

Stroop waffles: put on top of your coffee mug right after you pour it and then the Carmel in the middle melts and it’s amazing!

Yesssss! They’re PB is so good.
My son gets so sick from dyes so I really appreciate that too.

We love Aldi brand Doritos. We call them Fauxritos.
Started buying Crofton brand because I grew up in Crofton Nebraska and used it as gifts to adult kids....we love it!
My Aldi must-have is their box of frozen macarons!! They are better than some expensive bakery macarons that I’ve had in big cities!
Yea!!! ALDI's is my go to store for many items it is soooo helpful to live on a fixed income!!!
I recommend the Choceur chocolate bars. I personally like the milk chocolate but this brand is very very good.

PSA: Eggs at the Natick, MA Aldi were $4.99. Definitely some differences depending on the region.
It's also been found that a lot of Aldi's produce also doesn't last as long (I've been burned multiple times), so either only get the things that last a while to start with or if you plan to get things that can go bad quickly, make sure you actually eat them quickly.
Personal example: the lifespan of Aldi vs Trader Joe's broccoli is wildly different.
I think this depends 100% where you live, how quickly the store runs through the product and how far the product has to travel. I am in N Florida and have produce in my fridge from Aldi right now I bought almost two weeks ago.
Same...our Aldi eggs are $4.99/ dozen.
I agree. I eat most of my fruit and veggies within 1-2 weeks, so it’s usually not a problem. I regularly get burned on their apples. Always bad luck.
This is the truth. Avocados . . . there's no comparison.
Aldi owns trader Joe's as of 2020
Aldi’s is amazing! I am so sorry you don’t have one close to you. Thank you for finding a way to still give us some good deals from there.
My husband can't tolerate corn syrup sweetener but packs his lunch and won't drink plain water. Aldi has a fruit flavored bottled water that is UNCARBONATED! This is so hard to find but he loves it and we buy cases for his lunch bag.
What’s the name brand on the flavored water? I need it in my life??
@@melonnieolson562 it's shrink wrapped in a 24 pack, labeled FRUT, by PurAqua.
Raspberry, grape, strawberry, and peach flavors in each case
My favs: Pita Chips, Dill Pickle Popcorn, Hummus, Brie Cheese, Honey Vanilla Yogurt, Winking Owl Pinot Grigio
My fav Aldi products are: Chocolate croissants n Simply Nature Organic mild salsa.🥰 Ty for sharing.😍 Enjoyed it.😊
My kids and I LOVE shopping at Aldi!!! Great prices and most products are organic. You will taste the difference between their quality of fruits (organic) between other grocery stores.
Fav Aldi product from a 2nd gen Aldi shopper: girl scout cookies dupes for $2.19/box! Soooooo good
We bought the same wok at our local Aldi store and it cooks great, we have used it several times even on high heat and it cleans up beautiful
I have a new big Aldi .4 miles from my work and an older Aldi .2 miles from my house. I also work 4.5 miles from my home. Aldi are plentiful for me. I was actually just there to pick up the Small Strides diapers for a birthday present. My kids used Target brand diapers, but I know many that swear by the Aldi diapers. Thankfully I'm way past that stage with my kids.
I love love love the slice cheeses, they are about half the price as our Albertson store. But our absolute go to is the Season's Choice 20 count box of hash brown patties! The price has gone up to $5.50 a box, but they are worth it. We airfry them every weekend
You need to try their cocoa dusted chocolate truffles if you can find them. These are, hands down, the BEST bite of chocolate bliss you will find anywhere!
I love the Choceur dark chocolate bar. So smooth and not too sweet or bitter. Yum!
I believe you should keep all the lights , it looks great and cozy 👍🙋♀️
I go to Aldi every week for my groceries. The aisle of shame got me yesterday! I picked up some hiking boots for $22 and the Studio McGee knock off terracotta bowl for $20.
I'm in Australia and very partial to Aldi's chocolate blocks. Especially the Choceur white chocolate coconut block. Yum 😋
The pizza dough puck that's in the refridgerator section! Sometimes it is in the vegetables, sometimes its with the cheese/meat section. I get it every week! It's kind of sour dough type but kind of not. All you do is pull it and stretch it until you get the shape you want, add sauce and veggies, and bake. Sooooo good.
I bought the serving casserole dish for my grandson’s wedding shower this year! Great price and good quality! Love me some ALDI!❤❤
I love Aldi flatbread, but not the thin kind you showed in your video. There's a variety that's a little thicker and fluffier. Delicious!
My favs are their Albacore canned tuna and frozen Gulf Shrimp in a bag.
Choceur dark with whole hazelnuts or milk chocolate hazelnut crisp. Wonderful
The coconut Thai chicken is awesome ( always near the take n bake pizza). Add in veggies and pasta for a super quick dinner or lunch. So yummy.
I love their "Oreos", their chicken fries in an air fryer, my $30 6 qt clearance air fryer, their whole wheat bread, pita chips, specifically the cilantro jalapeno hummus (I wish they sold it individually), their chocolate ice cream (the normal one, not the premium, it tastes like blue bunny), their fresh brats, apple cider when in season, fresh salmon and steelhead trout, casarecce pasta (they stopped carrying in my store 😢), Chipotle's in adobo, corn tortillas, "Rotel", man so many things. I feel bad for all of you who don't have an Aldi. I contemplated getting one of those decorative Aldi buildings at Christmas in the style of Christmas villages just because I love Aldi so much!
The Aldi Girl Guide (oops Canadian here!) Girl Scout cookie knockoffs are the bomb. I also always get pop-tarts, trail mixes, and wafer cookies. Along with many other products that are refrigerated or way too heavy for a suitcase when we make our 1 1/2 hour trip across the border to shop.
I forgot to add that they sometimes have cinnamon twists that are a geat copycat of taco bells. They are dangerous!
Looks like some good prices. Thanks for sharing. We getting a local Aldi soon, can't wait to check it out.
Hi, you should try the guacamole,red pepper hummus, white cheddar popcorn & kettle jalapeño potatoes chips …they are amazing!
I am lucky to have 2 Aldi's in my city 😊 We love their frozen orange chicken, priano frozen ravioli, fresh produce, organic ketchup, specially maple syrup, stok iced coffee and so much more.
I love Aldi. I save so much on my groceries when shopping there. Christine, your hair looks fabulous-you look fabulous!
I've gotten Knoppers at Walmart and recently saw them at our regular grocery store.
Omega trail mix - almonds, cranberries, dried mango, walnuts, and pepitas $4.99 for 14oz. Their brioche buns are amazing as well! Best prices on flour and sugar too!!
I've been buying the Croissant Buns to make breakfast sandwiches for my family. They're a hit!
Boy are they good! I like to make ham egg and cheese
The Girl Scout cookie dupes, they taste so good, they have thin mints, and Samoa’s! 😊
Mint chocolate wafers at Dollar Tree = exact Thin Mint dupe!
Toffee lover here!!!!!! It is my favorite “candy”, especially with chocolate. As far as toffee candy bars, I love SKOL bars over Heath. You HAVE TO eat the chocolate off first and then eat the toffee. I also LOVE werther’s originals and butterscotch. Basically, I love the buttery toffee and buttery candy.
My fav gymnastics event was the floor & unevens, but I'm over 60 now & things don't 'flex' like they used to so I just watch & reminisce. My grandson loves STEM projects. Aldi by my house opens this spring! Sooo excited!
Aldi's roasted red pepper hummus is my favorite and such a great price! They also have a great garlic hummus. Love to watch your videos.
My Walmart Carrie’s the Knoppers. Got a sample in my grocery pickup and have been buying ever since
I do plenty grocery hauls and I've only been to Aldi's once in my life so I think I'm going to go back,thanks for another great video..
We, too, don’t have an Aldi close. My parents had one by them that I’d only been to a couple times, but they’ve both passed now so I’m never out where they lived anymore
