First time watching and i really enjoyed your shopping hauls. I like to watch others shop to see if they buy things I may not be aware of. I love the mozzarella sticks! We dip ours in Sweet Baby Rays Honey Mustard. Its so good! I will be going back and watching past videos. Have a great weekend.
I always forget to take my previous list out of my cart. So I'm usually buying the same things. Recently I started putting the list in my purse the night before and so far I haven't forgotten it.
@@GroceryAddict I live in South Texas, and you can get file powder at all grocery stores, if you get desperate for some, hit me up, and I will send you some! 🙋 🤗 👵 You should always be able to get some thru Penzey's Spices, I think they are located up there around you somewhere... They do online, catalog, and brick & mortar sales. Great little stores! ❤
If your family loves Honeycrisp Apples, you could have purchased the Snapdragon Apples on sale at Aldi for $.99/lb. They're a hybrid of Honeycrisp and a "secret" second apple but they're fabulous! Also, I type my list under "lists" on my Galaxy phone so no paper hassle to worry about. Lastly, do you review the Aldi flyer online and/or in the Aldi App? It really helps to see what's new and on sale Wed. - Tues. every week.
😄 Oh my gosh! If file' powder is illegal, I am going to jail!! 😳 I make a big pot of seafood gumbo every New Year's Day, here in Texas. It is a family tradition for three generations now.
The FDA has banned safrole and sassafras oil as a carcinogen since 1960. However, filé powder is safe for human consumption. You can buy "Gumbo File" labeled as such. Two different things. Your store just doesn't carry it.
Did your recipe for the gumbo soup actually call for pickled okra because I've never heard of that and that sounds kind of gross but good luck I'll be curious to see how it is
No, it doesn't. After checking out, I realized it was probably not going to substitute (because of the pickling). I am going to get it from walmart frozen.
I only had Emmie 🐶 at home! She is why I didn't run back, I knew it would disrupt her peaceful sleeping and I didn't want to risk exciting her with me return.
Perhaps next time when lust is completed you take cellphone pic of list .. as usually cellphone goes out the door with you . For the times when the lust is gone and left behind gave a family member take picture if it send to your cell. This should help you .. thanx for sharing your with us!!!
I try to memorize my meal plan (because if I don’t FORGET my list, I often LOSE it before I finish in the produce section). I tried using a phone list and nearly lost my phone, so… If I end up with an extra can of tomato or a bag of beans because I didn’t need it, no harm done. But I rarely miss a regular ingredient. It’s the “special” things I have to be careful about.
you have done "hauls" at Costco - you DO know they have dehydrated strawberries, dont you? And you complain about availability of the plain seltzer water- why dont you pick up a Soda Stream? - their standard bottle is 1 liter just like the Aldi purchase.
I don't think I've complained... but I get excited when it's there?! We have a soda stream, but I love the ALDI waters more. And no, I didn't realize Costco has strawberries. Thanks
@@GroceryAddict Pssst.... Just grind up a couple of Bay leaves and use it like File' powder. I have been making gumbo for about 70 years now, and have used it in a pinch. Since you are using it with your frozen okra (right? Not the pickled stuff...) the okra will work with the ground Bay leaves to thicken and flavor your okra. Enjoy it, hon. 👵
I started roasting carrots a couple years ago for a side dish and it quickly became our favorite way to eat carrots.
Hi that jar of okra is for snacking not gumbo they taste like pickles. You can use fresh okra or frozen.

I love watching you shop and nice menu board
I really enjoy your videos. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you!! I am glad you enjoy them. :)
Always like watching someone like me shopping in Michigan
Hi Jackie
Hope you are having a good day today. Great Aldi haul. Thank you for your video today. Have a great week.
I did have a good day! I hope the same for you
I was so excited to see the marscopone frozen pastries back. So yummy!
You did pretty well remembering!
I was happy to be honest, could have been worse!!
@GroceryAddict Were going on Tuesday, love our Aldi too
I saw your store has the Almond Nog already. I can't wait to try that. Have a good week ahead Jackie 😊
Jacks ❤❤❤😮😮😮😊😊😊
The Hawaiian bread stuffing is fabulous!
I haven't ever made it. i will based on your recommendation!
Does it make the stuffing sweet?
Always take a picture of your list on your phone. I do. Of course like paper list but if forgot you have

Great idea!!
I make the list in my phone
Also dollar tree has air fryer liners
Jackie, I put one of the zero sugar cheesecake pudding mix in a large container of plain yogurt. It lasts a while
Love that idea, thanks!!
Love your grocery videos Jackie and great haul and meal plan 😊❤....love ❤️ and hugs 🤗.... Have a good Halloween week !! ☠️🦇🕷️🕸️👻🎃🎃🖤💀🎃👻
Thank you Mary 💕
You can still buy Gumbo File powder. Zatarains makes it. Michigander here, and my husband likes his northern gumbo. Lol
Where do you buy it? Wal-mart locally didn't have it when I tried pick-up, too!
@@GroceryAddict I haven’t had to purchase it for awhile, but you can get it online at Walmart and other places.

Have you ever tried Augason Farms freeze dried strawberries? They're in a #10 can and very good. Reasonably priced too!
I will look into it. Thank you!

I will grab them when I go back for Halloween dinner! Thanks :). I need to be better about the app ad! Sometimes I do, sometimes not.
I’m from New Orleans and file’ powder is definitely not illegal it is carried at all stores around here.
GOOGLE IS WRONG?! LOL - probably just not stocked in the midwest?! I need to go to World of Spices. Thanks for the correction :)
😄 Oh my gosh! If file' powder is illegal, I am going to jail!! 😳 I make a big pot of seafood gumbo every New Year's Day, here in Texas. It is a family tradition for three generations now.
Taco bar for Halloween would be fun!
I like your bracelet, did you make it? You done good without your list, I would of been grabbing everything.

Basting brushes at dollar tree $1.25
Great grocery haul tfs whats at aldi i seen things i want so ill be going to aldi blessings
❤❤❤
I have awesome dry shampoo at the dollar tree yesterday and it works good
Oooh thank you! I will look.
Sour cream donuts are my favorite too 😊
They were good! I put most in the freezer, but had no regrets grabbing them!
Aren’t those apples in the lunchbox going to turn brown ?. ❤
Our Aldi just got back the chopped dates packages that we like in our oatmeal and in date-filled cookies!
ooh yummy, I will look for those

@@GroceryAddictGood plan. I'm afraid it would have ruined it.🫤
Prices double in cali
Lol one time i called my husband to send my a pic of my list on the counter
I only had Emmie 🐶 at home! She is why I didn't run back, I knew it would disrupt her peaceful sleeping and I didn't want to risk exciting her with me return.
I don't go so much to Aldi
I go more to 2 other stores where can find more good deals here in Belgium
Some stuff is less expensive other places, but I find ALDI in US is best. Interesting to know for Belgium
@@GroceryAddict the price are higher since they rebuild the store in my city
45 cent a pound at Meijer for the bananas :)
Yeah...Chicken broth price is down!
Maybe try a thrifted man’s shirt on your dog?
Yes, she has worn XL men's clothing! I should look for a plaid :)
Please do organic
U said. That liquor u got,it's like kahlua?
It reminds me of a Kahlua and cream. It's probably most comparable to Bailey's
Aldi has had the sugar free Chocolate and vanilla pudding mix.
I really like the banana (favorite) and white chocolate! But good to know as I do sometimes like Vanilla, too
They have andouille sausage at our Aldi I believe. I’m in Texas.cotton pads are 1.25 at the Dollar Store!
I almost shopped around (for the cotton pads) but really needed them and didn't want to wait. That's good to know! Thank you

My Aldi switched the spreadable butter to canola... 😢
Canola is an option, but thankfully I can still get the blue container!
@@GroceryAddict canola isn't good
EXACTLY
It's just margarine or butter. Not the end of the world. 😊
@jaymie-lee Canola oil isn't good... that's my point. Nothing to do with the end of the world.
File’ powder is not illegal. I’m from New Orleans and I have some in my cupboard.
I am from south Louisiana and I have never put file,okra or parsley in my gumbo.🥴
I hope my store has reduced Sodium chicken broth for 0.99.
good luck!
Oh no. Pickled okra isn’t for gumbo. You have to use fresh or frozen. I’m from New Orleans.
When you write out your list, make a picture of it on your phone, so if you forget it, you have a copy of it on your phone! Works for me!
I need to start doing that. I'm always forgetting something!
I call it "Psychic shopping" when I forget my list. You did well without your lisst.
LOVE IT! 🔮 😂
@@TheSchnoodlemom hilarious! I’m a terrible one then. I bring back all the wrong things! Lol

what is it?
Did she say ex husband?
no she did not
