The quarter isn’t diabolical, it’s brilliant. My wife used to work for Aldi. She explained that by doing that, they don’t have to pay a dedicated employee to go round up the carts to bring them back. That in turn helps keep prices low!
You know, that really IS brilliant. Once you know you need a quarter for Aldi, you’ll bring one. And next, how about a $1.00 fee for a cashier instead of self check out? I’d pay it.
@@lawman5511They just added self checkout lines at all three Aldi stores in town. I hate them. Aldi cashiers were always freakishly fast, but now I’m always waiting forever behind someone with just a few items who can’t figure out how a scanner works.
@@CantankerousDave I get it. Hate that self check out. I’m paying the same price, why should I do the cashiers job? My local Frys usually has one or two cashiers working. Some of them are amazing.
What’s the most important thing shoppers want? FAST check out. Once I get what I want in the cart, get me outa here! Maybe a clue to Costco success. Checking out at Costco is like a Star Wars chase scene.
Where's the robots to retrieve carts?
I don’t understand why people don’t get that about the carts 🤦♂️🤣
I love Aldi. I always get my grass fed 85/15 hamburger at Aldi which is higher quality, better price then Costco.
Ive been a butcher for 36 yrs and it's nice to see someone who has the knowledge and skills, doing videos. Thanks
The quarter cart scheme isn't diabolical! Plus, if I'm running my cart back up after unloading into my truck, it often enables the charitable act of giving your cart to someone else and saving them a quarter! Pay it forward!
One of the things I like best about Aldi. I don’t have to mess around with an app for five minutes before I shop. The specials are always right up front. Easy to find clearly labeled buy their stuff or don’t buy their stuff. It’s just that simple.
we call the quarter the aldi quarter it has its own place in our car.
Same!
Exactly, mine stays on a shelf specifically for Aldi's days
Take those skins. Lightly salt them and lay them out on a sheet pan to bale at 350*F for around 15-20 minutes and you are left with the most incredible crispy treat you've ever tasted. Even better then pork rinds. We use them as toppings on things.
That sounds worth trying. Do you bake them skin or fat side up? Are they raw when you bake them, or do you use the leftovers from a meal?
Did you ever try baking duck skin that same way? I have some duck breasts and thighs with the skin in my freezer and debate between rendering the duck fat out of the skin, to use it for cooking. Or bake it you way. I cook my duck sous vide style, so the meat is tender and juicy, but even with a finishing sear the skin doesn't get super crispy. Maybe baking is another way to serve crispy skin on a juicy sous vide cooked duck breast/thigh. May be a perfect partnership.
If you haven't tried baking your bacon, I highly recommend cooking it that way. I rotate my sheet pans every 6 minutes so each pan comes out perfectly. When I've removed the bacon, I scrape down the bits left on the foil, pour the bacon fat with scrapings into a lined bowl to refrigerate. When set, I remove from the liner and pop into a labeled ziplock and freeze. To make scrambled eggs, instead of butter, I use the bottom side of the bacon where the scrapings had settled to. Omg the yummy smell from those eggs!
@@user-jy1md7vk1w They are raw when we bake them. I usually flip them a couple times and soak up some of the fat with a paper towel.
also works in the airfryer. 350 , lightly salted for 7 - 8 minutes. until crispy. either side up works.
The “coin to unlock the cart” is very common in European supermarkets, which is most likely why Aldi does it here too.
It could be because so many Americans like to steal shit ? Some people even fell entitled to steal.
I hear the carts cost over $100 each.
More like $300@@rgruenhaus
Aldi is a german supermarket chain
Aldis IS a European supermarket....it is German owned
Appleton farms 1.5 lb. thick sliced bacon and their corned beefs are some of the best I have purchased anywhere
The corned beef brisket point cut & slabs are in next week’s add on sale for $2.99 & $4.99
The shopping cart experience has been an european thing since the mid 1980's. Not having it in the US is weird. Bone-in-Skin-on chicken thigh is the best meat on the chicken hands down.
If you don’t have a cart, just grab a box to carry your stuff in. There’s always plenty.
Aldi is my go-to for staple items like milk, eggs, butter, flour, and sugar. I don’t buy a lot of meat there.
Ground beef
The $10 3 pound roll of frozen beef patties is the best deal around. 85/15 or 75/25 (or something like that) for a little cheaper.
$3.33 a pound. Even sams can’t beat that. Easy carnivore lunch.
I have been on a Carnivore Diet for almost 4 years, for health reasons. Really enjoy your channel.
It wasn't hthy for the animals.
@@flashwashington2735 Every living animal dies at some point. Besides, I grew up working on a farm, the animals experience no pain or stress. Just think how unhealthy it must have been for our ancestors, pre-agriculture era, when they had to find their own food to survive starvation and illness ?
@@sidsnyder8043 Easily triggered? That was a joke. Here's another. You must die someday, but if your harvested you can be part of a healthy diet. God bless
@@flashwashington2735 You people act as if not eating animals prevents them from dying. They die, either way. You can either let the meat go to waste, or you can use it to sustain a human life. Besides, a good steak tastes way better than some nasty tofu burger.
You assume far too much my dim friends. If it is so HEALTHY, which is what you are arguing, then go feed a bear or lion. Did you try working a slaughterhouse, farm boy?
I am for eating and regularly eat flesh. But as noted in the Bible by God, it cost God and that animal something which we are to observe and respect. And like the sacrificial lamb points to the sacrifice of His son, the beloved unblemished Son of God, Now risen in power at God's right hand. Christ Jesus. I have generations of ranchers in my blood. Even ranchers and a stockyard owner, today. I worked them as a youth. So what is it that you will school me on, punks? Now go away yo' momma's calling.
The bone in skin on chicken thighs at the store I usually use frequently go on sale for $0.99/lb.
Yep. Same here, .99 on sale. Normal price is 1.19/lb
The Aldi quarter is the only cash in my wallet. I feel actual cash is dirty, and I always ended up with a bunch of change. Then people stare at you in discuss when you pull out $5.00 in change.
Half the time I go to Aldi someone just gives me their cart so they don't have to bring it back to the corral. I try to pay it forward when I can.
Thank you for the vid! Next time you are at Aldi and you're ready to pick up the Prosciutto try the Speck right next to it (Hails from South Tyrol region in the Italian Alps). It is like Prosciutto on the next level, cured almost the same way however traditionally German/Austrian smoked with Alps/Mediterranean seasonings.
Aldi became one of my favorite places to shop during my Appalachian Trail hike. Their meat sticks are pretty inexpensive but really tasty and their version of Clif bars are way better than the originals. For some reason they're not in Colorado so I just have to wait until they make it here.
Fried chicken skin is pretty good too, in South Korea it is even on the menu at McDonalds!
The Irish Butter is my new fudge! ❤❤
A good friend turned me on to Aldi's 5+ years ago here in N. Florida. I really love their meat dept. as you are pointing out in your video. I also love the large number of gluten free foods they carry and the - - - German foods. My wife discovered Aldi's recently and now she wants for both of us to go at the same time~! Yikes~~~!!! She takes forever on shopping trips. I'm in and out with what I want before she has gone down 1/2 isle. Shalom
I’d add the breakfast sausage (~$2 /lb) and the smoked salmon! Occasionally they have ground bison and boneless lamb leg.
The quarter for the cart here in Italy exist since the beghinning of time. You MUST bring back the cart in order to collect the quarter. So no disputes, no carts aroud damaging cars and no employees running around collecting them. Plus we have collective chart' station all around the parking area, so you don't need to go back to the store if you parked far away from the entrance. It' so logical. America... at last, welcome to the civilized grocery shopping' era😂😂
You have quarters in Italy?
Or a 10,000 lire coin...
Aldi sells the best priced grass fed beef I've seen
Most *every* supermarket in the UK has shopping carts like that, except it's a pound. Think $1.30. Since Aldi is German, and they have many stores over the UK and Europe, not hard to know where the idea came from. While it's initially annoying, it stops jerks leaving their carts in the middle of the parking lot.
Looks like you missed the grass fed ribeye for 11.49/lb. The grass fed ground beef is also available in a family pack (3 of those smaller packs) at 4.50/lb.
Not getting the Chicken thighs in a family pack at the other 2 stores makes a big difference. Meat prices vary a lot by region but 1.59 for bone-in chicken thighs isn't great. I manage a meat department in the northeast, chicken thighs are 1.29 regular and often go on sale for .99c
I was thinking the same thing. My local Raley's (California local supermarket chain) had the bulk packages of leg quarters, thighs and drumsticks on sale for $1.19/lb. Normally they are $2, but I wait for the sales, buy in bulk, and seal and freeze what I don't use. This week they had whole chickens for $0.97/lb! I have chicken adobo marinating in the fridge right now.
I lived in NJ all my life. Shop-Rite has phenomenal prices. Now I live in Central Fl and prices here are double the price. There is a big difference.
Jeez. That’s cheap. I just paid $2.59 a pound for bone in chicken thighs. I live in Tucson. That’s in southern Arizona.
Round here decent beef can only be had at Costco, as long as you can handle the butchering at home, or pay the price at one of TWO butcher shops left. I used to get cut steaks at Costco until this guy told me they needle tenderize their steaks.
@@darrylrichman I buy 10 lbs bulk for $7.99 @ my local Kroger's or Tom Thumb is $8.99
@@DearMe247 Wow! Those are really good prices! I watch the flyers, it seems like the markets here put certain things on sale on a schedule. I'm waiting for them to put whole pork shoulders on sale again. I'll smoke 2 of them, then cut them into 1.5-2lb. chunks and freeze them. Great for mid week tacos, or, when it cools off, chile verde.
That chicken skin is the cooks bonus, a little salt and pepper and fry them off on a griddle for a nice crispy snack.
I love Aldi’s. They have a 100% guarantee or your money back. No questions asked. I’ve been satisfied with 99% of their products fruits and vegetables are a great quality and the best price I’ve seen so far.
Aldi is great. I usually go once a month and stock up on meats. Bring your own bags as well as that quarter!
They do sell bags there including brown paper bags. I do take my own but will use the brown paper ones occasionally because I use them to start my charcoal.
If you ask the cashier at Aldi they’ll give you a cart. You just need to bring it back in store when done.
Thanks because I don't usually carry change with me.😊
You guys don’t have a quarter? 😂🤣
Gotta ask the cashier for a free cart??? What 🤣😂
Let me guess you get the groceries for free with your food stamps welfare card
When I go to Aldi I buy the same Irish butter and ground beef and I would add the ribeyes they have the best bang for buck at $12.99 a lb which is $2 a lb cheaper than Costco
Ive been shopping there since i was in college in the 90's. They sure jave changed for the better over the years
Your light fixture is your doppelgänger 😂
Thanks for that comparison! I just checked the prices on my local grocery store's app (HEB in Texas), it was around $5 higher than your Aldi haul. However I usually buy those items when they are on sale at HEB. The Aldi closest to me is about 3 miles further than HEB, but I do go in there occasionally. Thanks also for the chicken thigh deboning, great idea, I'll be trying that out soon.
I always carry extra quarters for my Fla. neighbors if they forget one.
Thanks for your comparison I am staying on the East Coast for the winter and ran into Publix and all of their pricey groceries. I cannot find decent organic foods and I’m so frustrated, so I’m planning on going to Aldi tomorrow and your comparison was great information. Thanks so much.😊
Those locking carts have been in Canada for a few decades. Very smart system actually.
Just found your channel yesterday. Great videos and information! Thanks!
Good info on the Aldi deals. I always buy the Walmart meat with yellow stickers. It is near it's best buy date but can be frozen or used up by the next day. Aldi and Save-a-Lot are the cheapest by me.
Get there when they open to get the best deals. They put the yellow stickers on late at night before they close.
@@mikeblaz Oh. Thank you
I miss the Cart Quarter system our local Shoprite had carts got returned... aldi has been in the state for yrs i though everyone has there cart quarter in the ashtray by now
Great video brother and thank you for the comparison as I have all three stores in Florida!
Great info. Thanks!
Great comparison & tips, thanks for sharing! :)
Love how you show how to cut the meats at the same time thank you!
Aldi is now our meat place, since all the specialty markets closed during Covid And prices went up so far. I also love their Italian sausage, ground buffalo And ground lamb ( sometimes). I break down pkgs to get sized for two & mix ground pork & ground beef for meatloaf mix before freezing. Plus small breakfast steaks.
Love ur show!!
No BS,u tell it like it is, good or bad!! Practical thinking!!
The proof is in the pudding!
Might be a good video idea, I can get gold leaf chicken quarters at .79 cents a pound. If you cut and grind it yourself there's big savings cause ground chicken is about 3.60 a lb. Big savings and chicken stock bones. Just a idea for you. Love the videos
Also very common in Canada, and we always try to leave a quarter in our car.
Funny, a few weekends ago my husband took my Aldi's quarter and gave it to my granddaughter. I love Kerry Gold, just can't go back now.
Try the grass fed New Zealand butter at Costco. It’s even better
I love this video, great job, God bless you
Thank you Wizard great video
Around the holidays Aldi has rack of lamb it’s tremendous. I’m in the restaurant business trust me it’s good. Like $9 a pound
Thank you, going to Aldi soon!
Thanks! I’m going to Aldi’s for some grass fed beef for my Burgers dinner!! Hubby will be very happy!
I use the boxes that have been unpacked. Just ask the clerk stocking the shelves. They have no problem . Perfect shopping basket for me.
Coupla things...if you don't need a whole bunch of stuff at Aldi's, just bring in your own shopping bag or basket, fill it up, and dump it out on the register conveyor. Secondly, relevant to the chicken thighs? Don't waste any part, including the skin. Salt them up and air fry them into cracklins. OMG are those good. ;-)
There is a $20 difference from Aldi to Publix and almost $10 less than Walmart.
that $10 pays the gas in your tank and to work for a few days, and if you look at the cost to shop at Publix, saving $20 would help you feed a larger family another day.
Shop Aldi's, just remember your $.25 (You get it back) and bring your own bags (Aldi does not provide them to you ...)'But, hey, better prices and a minimum savings of $40/month on these ($460 a year!) is a savings!
But then I'd have to find larger family to feed.
@@flashwashington2735 Or take early retirement in stead...
I love that sharp knife. I’d struggle with mine.
my aldi put the meat on clearance a few days before the best buy date, I buy in bulk and freeze. I got prepackaged pot roast for 4 bucks the other day and bought a few.
Up here in Canada all the stores have the locks. BUT our Walmart carts cost a dollar. Nice
I just had the seasoned chuck roast / made it the slow cooker... just added a lil water and potatoes and it was amazing
I'm from the UK, all of our shopping carts have those contraptions on. Before they had them our canals were full of shopping carts.
I found a split lamb breast at Aldi, from a local farm no less. This is not an easy cut to find. If you never had lamb ribs or lamb belly your missing out.
Thanks.
I didn't go to Aldi yesterday because I didn't have a quarter.
I buy quarter chicken at Aldi. 5 quarters for $4.99, $5.50. depending on what they have. Adi is a German company.
In their cold cut section, you can buy a 16oz pack of black forest ham for under $4 all day long. I stay away from grass fed. Their "not grass fed entirely" rib-eye steaks are wonderful. I salt them and set them, uncovered, on a 1/8 rack for a day or so then wrap them in plastic and let them age a week or two in the fridge. Amazing. I shop four stores in a rotation. Aldi, Walmart, Cub Foods (my regional chain), and a local grocer that specializes in meat. That local store regularly has 80/20 ground beef for $3.49/lb in 5lb plus bags. A lot of people buy only that as it is a damn good price for damn good protein. Check the ads online on Sunday and plan your shopping week.
I live to shop values between Aldi n Sams Club- THOSE are my meals 4 the week/month. Roll with whats movin! Save tons being flexible! Yes. EASY work dealing with bone in....BUT bone in? seasoned n baked 350 for 52mb- Solid.
The grassfeed ribeyes are pretty good also. Hust cut kinda thinner than i prefer
love it! I always buy the prosciutto packs there. Excellent for wrapping veggies in it and, of course, the cheese tray. Their speck is fab also! Hard to find those, though. They also have fab cheese selections, some imported are excellent! Their goat for those who have the A2 thing going on, theirs has cranberry and blueberry and boy are they good on a bagel. I will be watching more well marbled advice. Best regards,
Those cranberry and blueberry goat cheeses are so bomb! 😋
I live in Southern California, and I'm surprised that our prices are cheaper.
Aldi also has Perdue 3 3/4 lb whole chickens for $6.25 each. I can rarely find that small size and definitely not for that price.
You can use a rounded key in Aldi's carts.
For chicken, your paying for the weight of the bone also. At my local store boneless are $1.15 lb
I'd also like to point out the Aldi beers should be in your carts also !
Their lamb is amazing!
Aldi! Good meat too. I’m watching the animal vax story w interest. Thanks for the comparison. I’ve found Aldi can beat Costco as well. Aldi bought uninspiring grocery chain Winn Dixie. We will see what’s coming….
i used to get a quarter every other time I went to Aldi from people leaving the quarters in the carts LOL the best deals at Aldi was on their dairy products like butter and cheese and such.
Wish we could’ve got a breakdown on what your 1.49 chicken really turns into like you’ve done in the past for shrimp cocktail did weights from Costco.
Here in my hometown in germany is a big parking lot with an aldi store and 2 other supermarkets. One of them is really fancy and more expensive than aldi.
We have "to pay" 50 Cent for every cart. A few people don´t bring the cart back with the 50 Cent in it. So there are a few poor people that get this cart and bring them back and get the 50Cent so they can make some extra money. I did this a few times and gave may cart to an handicap man who can´t speak properly.
I noticed you did not mention the switch in butter - if you went with Kerry Gold price would there be that much of a difference?
Kerry Gold cost $6.59. That's $3 more. I've had both butters, and the Aldi butter is comprable.
Your thumbnails are the best
Here in Minnesota, people practice "paying it forward" at Aldi's. It's not unusual to see single carts parked off to the side, so those without a quarter can use them for free and hopefully park them off to the side again, foregoing the return of the quarter, so that someone else can also use them for free and set it aside for the next shopper. It might get a bit messy, but it's called being "Minnesota Nice."
Believe it or not, here in the city of brotherly love, There's always someone paying it forward at Aldi, guess since we're saving all that money
I saw that you can use the round back of a key, house key, instead of a quarter, if you dont have one. Just keep the buggy, so you can get the house key, back when you are finished. 😅
I have found that Aldi’s meat shrinks way down when you cook it. So idk if they pump it full of some solution or what. Lately the problem seems to have gotten better, but for a while there even things like wings or whatever would hardly have any meat on it after it was cooked.
Do you clean fish, my favorite is fresh crappie, also like whole fresh trout
Aldi has good hot dogs made of real meat cheap. Also I love the bacon . Every now and then I find lobster tails and bison on sale
Me and my wife go there weekly from their eggs to a lot of their canned goods as a lot of people have mentioned their veggie fruit and veggie section is usually a lot cheaper, but my wife told my aunt about it to try to help them save money, and my cousin won’t go there because they think it is cheaper as in cheaper quality food. Well, we have been given my aunt some of that food because they flat out broke And she has even pointed out and asked us where did this stuff come from? We like it all came from Aldi and she’s like well. It’s just as good as the namebrand and we’re like yeah why do you think we shop there it’s a lot cheaper, especially like canned stuff and it’s just as good. It just has a different name on the front of it, green beans people are green beans. The only thing that might make them majorly different is if they season them
Their 1 lb chubs of frozen ground turkey are also a great deal!
Aldi also has the 10 bags of Chicken quarters (bone in) for just $.59 / pound. Probably cut the legs off and still be under $1/pound.
They used to have Kerrygold, the new choice of Irish butter looks just like Kerrygold.
No change, just use a key....it works!
the lock cart contraption is standard in europe where aldi is from
Please don't confuse pork "loin" with pork "tenderloin".. similar but not the same. Great episode. Good comparison. ALDI is awesome 👍🇺🇲👊
I buy very little meat at ALDIs. Sausage rolls, chicken on occasion, turkeys and hams during the holidays.
Aldis black angus ribeye steaks are awesome and at 13.99 per pound a great deal.
Shhhhh. Don't tell them that secret!
Chicken skin is so good seasoned and crisped in the air fryer or oven. 😋
All supermarkets have that in Ireland, putting money into the cart. That's where Aldi got it
We don't have aldi's here but i know you shot costco and sams have you noticed a decrease in quality at costco? It might just be mine.
