    I just wanna reiterate as always - I don't normally measure my food as much as you might see in this video & ones like it! I am doing so for the sake of more accurately calculating the prices of ingredients (besides when I'm actually trying to follow a recipe of course)
    I never want to promote restriction on this channel or be associated with dieting/calorie counting/etc.
    ALWAYS AIM TO LISTEN TO YOUR BODY OVER ANY NUMERICAL VALUE 💘

    Aldi and Trader Joe’s have the same parent company so some of the food at Aldi is the same as the trader Joe’s brand just packaged different

      Jillian the dumptruck yea I noticed that in Germany aldi has some things that are labeled „Trader Joe’s“

      There is no Aldi where I live but there is a Trader Joe's. Is Trader Joe's a similar price/vibe?

      I love Aldi. Best place to shop. You actually get something for your money. Eggs $1.19 a dozen. Can't beat that in SoCal.

    • @undzwar2498
      @undzwar2498 3 года назад +1

      Actually there are two Aldi's in Germany (because the founding brothers became hostile) and Trader Joe's is the American version of the one located in Southern Germany and "Aldi" is the American version of the one located in Northern Germany

    (This is being written throughout the entirety of the video)
    1) I absolutely LOVE the sitcom transition music and your editing is amazingggggggg, i'm not even half way through and i'm just smiling throughout!
    2) I've been waiting for an Aldi week what i eat because we have Aldi in London as well so its fun to compare
    3) You are looking absolutely beautiful btw
    4) Weird that your Aldi doesn't sell fresh herbs, we always have a ton here, also does your aldi have a fresh bakery section?
    5) 14:36 "Chipotle is my lifeee"
    6) 17:25 - 17:31 has me in literal stitches and i'm so high right now and tears are streaming from my eyes as i write this
    In conclusion 10/10 mid week food vlog thing, i will be sharing my dude, peace xo

    as far as your kombucha bottles go - as long as they are brewing/fermentation grade, they wont explode. if they are just decorative then they are at risk for that so be careful !
    also i really like this series, i do most of my shopping at aldi so its good to get some new ideas :)

    Girl I make my rice SUPER LAZY cause I add all the ingredients into the rice prior to cooking. LoL
    Always turns out super tasty tho. Except I don't add oil. Sometimes a little coconut oil if I'm toasting the rice first before adding water & other ingredients. I make a cilantro pesto to leave in the fridge to add to my rice water cause cilantro can be over-powering. But a teaspoon or two will do the trick when adding to the water. And there's this Sazòn seasoning called Tropical...OMG this stuff in rice...u know adding it to the water....so good. It already has salt in it tho so it doesn't take much. Throw in some frozen peas n carrots & some chopped onion n garlic...stir ... Put on the list n let it go...best rice ever.😁
