      Hey, just a little tip I learned from AuriKatariina (that Finland girl, that clean nasty houses). Fold your cleaning cloth in half, another half and one more time. You will have 8 clean surfaces to wipe off the surfaces and it’s more comfortable to hold. Love the video 🌺🌼🌸, still watching ...

      I store my cilantro and green onions, etc, the same way. Then, I also put a clear plastic bag (gallon twist tie bags) over the top and put a rubber band around the bag and jar. Leaving the bag kind of poofed around the herb. My cilantro lasts over 3 weeks this way. Hope that helps!

    I'm from Northern Ontario, Canada, and find it totally fascinating to see the difference in grocery store prices! You pointed out a container of blueberries being $3?!?! Yesterday, the smallest container of blueberries at my local grocery store was $8.99 😂😭

      I also find it fascinating how cheap things are there. I have seen adult clothes at Walmart in some videos for under $5. Can’t find that in a Canadian Walmart. Or when we buy something online that is US dollar and it costs us double in Canadian. 😞But then their dollar is worth more!!! So that could be the reason.

    Aldi is my favorite grocery store. The quality is great and prices can’t be beat. I don’t use PowerWash any more. Too pricey. I keep a small bottle of dawn at my sink and use a squirt on my cloth if I just have a few dishes. Otherwise, I do it the old fashioned way and fill the sink with Dawn soapy water and wash the dishes. I also use a sink full of Dawn soapy water to clean my kitchen and sink.

  • @latoniakimery6935
    @latoniakimery6935 9 месяцев назад +1

    Homemade Dawn Dish spray, YES!!!
    1/4 cup detergent
    1-2TBSP rubbing alcohol (70% is disinfecting grade.. I use the 91%)
    Fill the rest of the bottle with water.
    Because the alcohol inhibits lots of bubbles, I also put it in my hand soap containers that make the foam.

    Happy Monday🤗! My husband and I would make Aldi trips weekly when we lived in Minnesota and absolutely love their products and prices. Since we just recently moved to Arizona, unfortunately we have been slacking a bit. Aldi is more than happy to let you take boxes to pack your groceries, in the event that you do not want to buy their bags or you forget to bring your own. I have been living a keto lifestyle for about four years and appreciate that I can find affordable keto/low carb options at Aldi.

    Hi Amanda, I agree that the Powerwash is too expensive because so easy/fast to go thru a bottle. I have been using homemade for approx 1 year and love it. Here’s my recipe: 2 TBSP Dawn dish soap, 1 TBSP Isopropyl 70% Alcohol Antiseptic and the rest of the dawn powerwash bottle of distilled water. I don’t make it in advance since it’s so easy to do when you run out. Don’t forget to shake before using…and there you go. Oh and another thing I use instead of BKF or comet or bon ami…baking soda. Yes I love cleaning my sink, like you, and I use my homemade powerwash with baking soda…just great!

Shopping in Aldi in Germany is totally different from here too, as it is in usa! I agree though you can most not all of what you need, i tend to shop at Aldi and Asda which is your Walmart.

    I haven't tried Aldi in a while myself. May try to check it out thid week.
    BTW, I like to clean out my fridge before going to the store. 1) Lets me see what I have & if anything has gone bad. 2) Clears out space for new purchases 3) I can put things away immediately, then pull things out as I have timeb,(and energy) to do food preps (chop veggies, grate cheese, etc) for recipes I plan to make that week.
    Sometimes the whole process takes 3 days - one day to clean out fridge, check inventory in fridge, freezers, & pantry, then meal plan based on what I have & sales ads. Day 2 to shop. Day 3 is food prep. I am older, so doing it all in one day is too much for me. I have to pace myself.

    • @ThisCrazyLife

  • @rileighbennett5023
    @rileighbennett5023 9 месяцев назад

    TIP for herbs/green onions! Place a plastic produce bag over the tops of them and then kind of twist around the top of the jar and tuck it under itself just to try and contain the bag. We can get them to last months doing this and changing out the water every 5 days or so. We always use mason jars and it works amazing for produce! I would LOVE to have an Aldi but we live in Montana so that will never happen haha! We do have a Whole Foods now so maybe there’s hope 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

    Since the beginning of January my husband and I have only shopped at Aldi's. WE LOVE IT! We have literally cut our food bill in half. Our attitude is, "if Aldi's doesn't have it, we don't eat it" lol. They're very good for keto - we both also started Keto (again!) in January and have no problem finding good quality projects there. And, if we don't feel like shopping, our Aldi's has home delivery now (I think through Instacart). We love going though - the only tough part is staying strong when going thru the weekly finds aisle. That's a killer for me, but I'm also on a low-spend, "only essentials" year, and so far I've been OK lol. 😁

    I'm in the UK. We have Aldi's in every town. I literally have 3 within a 10 minute drive. Top for storing broccoli, great it like a bunch of flowers. Buy it on the stem, take a little off the bottom and stand in a mug/glass of water and place in fridge. This will keep it fresh for weeks. Also place carrots in a tub with kid and cover with water and put in fridge. Again, will keep for weeks. Found these hacks during lockdown and they were a blessing.

  • @xbabii13girlx
    @xbabii13girlx 9 месяцев назад

    we have been doing keto for 9-10 months and we love it! we've lost so much weight and gained so much energy, it's insane. i don't think we'll ever go back to the high carb lifestyle we were on before. i also love shopping at aldi. we go there weekly for our produce and meats, sticking only to the outside aisles. we then do like a monthly shopping trip at bj's and/or food lion for anything aldi doesn't carry or that we need in bulk.
    my tips for making your produce last longer: (my produce typically lasts 1.5-2 weeks)
    fruits should be able to breath. most fruit lets off ethylene gas which, if stored in a sealed container, will make things spoil faster. i make sure all my fruit is stored in containers that have little vents, and that they go in the fruit drawer in the fridge because that will also have a vent. (examples - grapes, berries, grape tomatoes). exceptions are if things need to ripen, i leave them on the counter until there are nearly ready, then i put them in the fridge loose in the fruit drawer. (example - avocados, kiwi, mangos). yes i do put tomatoes in the fridge - i find that grape tomatoes keep really well in the fridge and helps them stay firm which i like.
    veggies do not produce ethylene, but can be very sensitive to ethylene. therefore, i store veggies in sealed containers with no vent. they also go in the veggie drawer which does not have a vent. exceptions: things that stay loose in the veggie drawer would be peppers, cucumbers (uncut), zucchini. if buying mushrooms, do not prep these ahead of time. leave these alone in their store bought container with the plastic wrap until ready to use.
    i usually do one big prep session the night i go grocery shopping or the next day. i wash everything, then lay it all out on kitchen towels to dry. i wait at least 3 hours until everything is completely dry, THEN store it in the appropriate containers with paper towels (the paper towel trick i learned from you!). i also place kitchen towels in the bottom of the fruit and veggie drawers to help absorb excess moisture (plus it helps keep the drawers clean bc i can just swap out the towels when things get dirty).
    when it comes to lettuce/spinach/any other leafy green, i have stored them in the same way as veggies and they keep for about a week. but i have also stored them rolled in a kitchen towel and then just placed in the veggie drawer which makes them last like 1.5 weeks. basically once washed and dried, i transfer the lettuce to a dry kitchen towel, then just roll it up so the different layers of towel will help keep the lettuce dry as it sits in the fridge.
    lastly - i have seen this but have not tried this - i saw the best way to store cut/baby carrots, cut cucumber, and cut celery is to actually place them in mason jars, then fill them with cold water and seal, then place in fridge. they can apparently last several weeks like this. mine are usually gone within the week, so i havent had the need to store them like this, but i guess if you have a lot and need to squeeze a few more days out of it, that's something to try.
    i have also seen that the way you did your green onions and herbs is supposedly the right way to do it, or it also says you can wrap them in a damp paper towel, then seal it in a plastic bag or container. i dont buy these, so i dont have the experience to back this up.
    in fact, as im typing this, i just remembered i have lettuce drying on my counter that i need to put away lol. thanks for the motivation!

    I've never been to Aldi. But I'm a frequent Winco shopper. Best prices out there! I do watch Smith's for deals too though. Especially on meat. I will go to Costco to really stock up though but sometimes those meat deals even beat the bulk price.
    I try to do a nighttime cleaning routine. I have also tried to get in the habit of picking up as I go. It gets hard after a day of baking for a family gathering, but I always try at the very least to pick up and wipe down. Not always dishes, but I make an effort to at the very least get to them the next day. It is seriously an effort but the pay off is a much cleaner house which equals more peace.

    Maybe put a gallon or quart sized freezer bag over the top of the herbs and green onions to protect them? I love the look of the mason jars and I absolutely LOVE Aldi. There is one that we used to shop at, but it is no longer that close to where we live now.

    Amanda, my mom always kept gr onions in a mason jar with a little water on the kitchen table and they lasted a long time:) we didn’t put them in the fridge, maybe try that?

    I have thought about Aldi's but never been in one. I like doing my own shopping so I may give them a try. Love the look of the products available. I love saving on groceries. I was looking forward to part 2 of the Master Bedroom make over. Did you get the hints I sent you? I love the declutter videos but I can only do so much of it. I am still in my camper and still looking for a new place to lay my head. Thank you for sharing your home with all of us. Have a great week. Till next time ❤

    I live in Utah and have never been to an Aldi! I did laugh at trader Joes, it is great for specialty and seasonally themed foods, and I do try to keep a bag of the orange chicken in my freezer, but it for sure is not an everyday grocery store! I typically do my grocery shopping at Smith's (I love looking in the clearance section for meat or produce to stock up and freeze!) and also go to Costco frequently. I am not as close to a winco but wonder if it really would help my grocery budget...

      @@ThisCrazyLife Just googled it they were founded by different families but the Aldi is two different companies and they had brothers in charge of them at one point.
      I’m in England and Aldi is often voted the cheapest supermarket even though other supermarkets here price match certain items. Wish we had Trader Joes over here ( and Target and Walmart).
      It will be interesting to see how well Lidl do over there. They made a big loss here last year. Many because they opened a lot of new stores.

    I love me some Aldi’s! The meat department is very impressive. Great prices plus great quality. What more could we ask in these inflationary times? These recipes look so yummy. Might have to try some of them. One problem….I am married to a very traditional Mr. Meat and Potatoes kind of guy. He’s not big on trying new things and will eat only certain vegetables. I will halve the recipe and enjoy my own stash when he isn’t here. I too love the power wash, but haven’t yet tried the DIY method. Good to read some of the positive comments. Gotta watch that budget!

    Aldi’s is definitely one of our staple stores as well. I’ve had friends & co- workers who have bought items I’ve been afraid to try (copy cats, don’t like, etc.) 😁and shared with me to see if I like them and I now have some new favorites! Thanks for the mason jar storage idea - definitely need to give that a try! Also, I’m right there with you on cleaning out my refrigerator! Looks great when it’s done but for some reason getting in there to do it is a whole new matter! 🤣

I've purchased several of the Bloom Towels since watching your videos and have used your code for them! I love them just like you do! I'm currently trying the mason jar method for my produce since, like you, I want items that are grab and go and hope these last longer in these containters as well! Also, I too live in Arizona too but Aldi is not available where I live.....:(

    Hey Amanda
    Loved watching your video tonight I just wanted to message you and tell you while I was watching. I noticed your prep for the fresh cilantro you washed it and put it in the mason jar what I noticed is you did not tie a produce bag around the top top of it, they say you’re supposed to tie a produce bag around the top to keep the leaves moist and I noticed yours did not have it, so I just wanted to let you know, I live in Florida and I’m sure that’s the same way it is for you wash your cilantro, trim the stems put it in shallow water and then entire produce bag over the top of it loosely and it will keep the moisture in the leaves. thanks hope you’re doing

    Pro tip: the 99 cent bags at the TJ Maxx checkout lanes are huge and perfect for shopping at Aldi. Not to mention, they’re super cute. 🩷 Also, Aldi’s restock day is Wednesday so that’s the best time to shop. The new stuff will be in the aisle of shame and meat & produce will be fresh.

    I have been making my own diy dawn power wash since getting the initial bottle. I use 1 ounce of white alcohol and about 1.5 ounces of dawn dish soap and fill the bottle up with water. Then just rotate the bottle to mix, don't shake. You can adjust the amount of alcohol and soap if there is too much or not enough. I found that if I use too much soap then it doesn't spray as well and when I use too much alcohol then it was too strong.

    I forget how great Aldi is. We have one right next to our Kroger and Walmart but I never make it in. For the last 6 months, we have been doing Kroger delivery. When you mentioned that Aldi made the trip “quick” unlike the larger stores, I went and watched your oldest video with your boys being so little 🥹. I am 34 years old with a 10 year old, 2 year old and 5 week old and thinking of grocery shopping with all 3 is giving me anxiety. I haven’t taken my little out in public. We only do school/daycare drop-offs and come back home. But once back to work from my maternity leave, your comment alone gave me a sense of peace for when those grocery shopping days do come. I’m so jealous that we are close to the same age and your boys are older 😂 the newborn and toddler stages are tough in my 30’s. I probably just feel this way since my job is being a 2nd grade teacher. I’m just tired 😅.
