We love Aldi frozen pretzels, that you bake at home. They aren’t available very often, so if you spot them, stock up. Sometimes they have really good deals on plants.
More than a year ago I was looking for a cast iron enameled pot and I was working myself up to the $40 purchase that was the least expensive I could find and then Aldi was selling them for under $20. It's an amazing pot. If at all possible wait for the baking and cooking season to roll around to get cooking essentials from Aldi.
Another Aldi benefit, at least in my area: the cashiers move at lightspeed. They work so fast it's like they're in imminent danger of being fired. The cashiers at the "regular" grocery stores in the same area move like they're underwater.
EntropyFan ALDI puts UPC codes in multiple places on the products. Makes it much easier for the cashiers, even the registers are designed for speed. That’s why the lines move so fast.
I use the Five Cheese pizza as a base to which I add my own toppings (including Mama Cozi's pepperoni slices). It's a little extra work (worth it!) but a lot less effort than making it all from scratch. By the time the oven is hot I pretty much have all the veggies sliced and on the pizza ready to go in.
Definitely! Get the Reggano ranch and bacon pasta and add black olives, a truckload of bacon, etc. the friend onion cost about $3.00 LESS for a can than the regular stores.
I just stopped in Aldi today. I LOVE the pickles & olives. Next to them, Italian salad dressing 16oz $1.89. Across the store, same dressing 36oz $1.95. It's not like the dressing will go bad any time soon! I grabbed 2 big bottles. And mushrooms were $0.99 8oz, so i bought 3lbs! Slice & freeze. Chick peas, $0.49 a can, a dollar or more at other grocery chains :O Aldi saves me MONEY!!!!
Holiday season here now, and I got a bottle of real vanilla extract at Aldi for $5+change. The same sized bottle at our local "big name" grocery store was $13. I've not noticed a difference in the end result using the Aldi vanilla. Also, I agree that in cheese and chocolate, Aldi wins the local competitors.
I love the store brand super soft bathroom tissue. It's as soft as Charmin, but lasts longer and isn't as fragile. Also love the holiday season when they get in all the German cookies and stuff.
Love, love Aldi. I purchased a smoothie blender 3 yrs ago & it’s fantastic. It was under $30 & bigger & less expensive than other popular smoothie blenders.
I love Aldi I have made so many ppl know try shopping there. They're amazed how cheap things are. Ive never had any issues w anything ive ever bought there.
My wife and now I Love ALDI! I would say Matt nailed it with the top 10 items. Just remember ALDI often times does not carry items (and I’m not talking just about seasonal items) you may like to purchase on a weekly basis.
They have really great prices on K-cups, the best I have found in my town. I price K-cups by the cup. Aldi has them for 26 cents per cup. The next lowest is Walmart Great Value brand at 31 cents a cup. If you are not super picky about your K-cups then give Aldi a try.
At my Aldis there always seems to be a large German shipment in around November, for all the Christmas sweets but that's when u can normally find the pickled red cabbage, spaetzle, and Glu Wien. I'm happy they always seem to keep the German pretzel in freezer section yr round now and struddle too. Whenever I visit my family in Germany friends always asked me to bring back German chocolate, I say "sorry not worth it, we have an Alidis now, u can get it yourself for same price they sell it there" Schogetten is awesome!!! I love Aldi's here and in Germany. Their pesto comes from Italy, olive oil from Spain and cheap. Best Euro food for the price u can find.
The whole comparable/inferior moment sealed the deal for me: I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL!!! You’re hilarious, hard working, kind, and it’s clear that you care about and appreciate your followers. You’re the best! Simply put, you are incomparable. 😉
Nice job, Matt!! Def agree with 5-we’ve found the WalMart ketchup to be really spicy at times. The deli meats have an added bonus-most of them come in reusable containers. During the fall Aldi carries a pumpkin seed bread that is just phenomenal!!
Some of my favorites to pick up are the cooking broths especially the low sodium; I absolutely love their turkey Kilbasa and the vienna sausages; I like the salad kits, too. $2.99 for the basic ones as opposed to $4.39 at Meijers here in Michigan. The pork rinds and pretzel slims are great tasting and better priced. I love the unsweetened apple sauce and the cesar dressing. Love Aldi.
I've been a proponent of Aldi's for over 20 years now and do 95% of my grocery shopping there. I compare prices constantly with my local (and a lot closer) Winn Dixie and Aldi's wins hands down on EVERY product. Recent purchases for example- English muffins $1.19 versus 5.39, Gal. of 2% milk 2.79 versus 5.79, Rye bread 2.59 versus 3.89. And the list goes on and on. I'll go the additional 20 mile round trip twice a month to easily save over $200 on my monthly grocery bill. Thank you Aldi's.
I started shopping at Aldi in 2004 when i lived in Germany... It was UNBELIEVABLE! When they started coming to the U. S., I was SO AMAZED. Everything that was stated in this video is SPOT on!!
I love shopping here I used to spend 250 in other stores now I spend 100 and my hubby has the biggest smile they may not have a large variety but that make it even better I do spend less and just shop for the necessary
I love Aldi's as well. I like their goat cheese with cranberries, it is several dollars cheaper then a local store. Their bananas are a great price and the produce is always fresh ! I especially like the fact that the store is smaller then most grocery stores as I do not have to do as much walking.
Linda Marquis i quit going to Kroger as you had to walk a mile to get produce and milk products. Crazy. I clean houses. I’m not LAZY. I’m EXHAUSTED. For whoever said the lazy comment.
Great job on your list! Couple deals we enjoy is their pork sausage typically 1.89lb always get 2 at a time and stock up when they are on sale, their deli cheese blends are amazing! Eggs! Liquid flavored creamer! The shredded cheese, just as good as sargento and you get get 3 cups for same price other brands only 2 cups! Canned soups and pasta!
Your video randomly popped up, and a fun fact is, that your top 10 is almost the same as the European Aldı. I have worked for almost 2 years at Aldı in The Netherlands, and I totally agree on your top 10 list.
Aldi’s 80 count kitchen trash bags are fabulous. When I first opened them, they seemed so flimsy I was worried, but they’re strong as heck and very reasonably priced. I have never had any spillage. Great bargain for the buck!
I was just at them tonight but decided not to try them. I was afraid because last bargain trashbags I got from a discount store are horrible. Basically have to double up on them.
Love Aldis! Shopped there religiously when I made very little money at an internship! Helped so much with spending! I’ve found that their egg prices are much cheaper as well then other stores I’ve been at.
Produce at my Aldi is hit or miss, some days it's GREAT and others it's really bad. It's so strange because when I lived in the midwest the produce was always good
The produce is fresh, and are at a much lower price than at the larger stores. Their cucumbers in my area are 33 cents each and they are huge. Their herb cheddar biscuits are similar to Red Lobster's.... yum, yum. I love to shop there because you never know what great buy you'll find in the home essentials area. The staff is friendly, helpful, and fast. I get in and out very quickly. No long lines, no parking far away!
The jugs of cashews as well as the deli meat (prosciutto, pepperoni and salami)& cheese rollup party packs are great finds! Thank you for your video(s)!!!
@@dorothyschelhorn4452 Avoid China, Viet Nam and the Philippines even if it says wild caught. Their fish farming practices are awful and for the wild caught the processing can be just as bad as they lack food safety standards. Fish from these countries is often contaminated with chemicals that the FDA has banned.
I always buy fruits and veggies at aldis. My father in law paid $3.79lb for red grapes. I paid $1.79. I also spent $100 on groceries yesterday would have probably cost double at a grocery store.
Loved your video! We buy a lot of produce that we don't have in our garden. Also, the medium - large cakes are great for so many occasions. 3.99-5.99! Buying their pizzas instead of buying from take-out paid for a new freezer in 3 months,( I have 4 boys 17-21years old)!
I forgot to add: Giant/Eagle- we're in Maryland- has been selling a 72 slice block of individually wrapped high quality American cheese,( ingredients the same as Kraft deluxe);Packaged in a cardboard box for $9 something. Also, this grocer plus two others in our area sell shredded mozzarella cheese in large bags - 32oz and sell for 7.99 or less. Great for home-msde pizzas and family casseroles.
I have literally spent thousands of dollars on finds all the way down to my 10 yr warranty bed in a box from aldi, I love love love Aldi and am an aldi addict. I have moved to Montana and there is not one, but have called several times the offices and requested one be built. I’ve shopped there for 25yrs I think, love the place and would have managed one had i had the opportunity in the right moment. You can not beat any of the products or most of them, bar none.
I’m a truck driver for ALDI. You would be surprised what things are actually name brand items under ALDI’s private label. BTW the Caprese Pasta Salad is delicious 🤤.
I’ve been reluctant to try an Aldi store since my local one is out of the way. But now I think I’ll give it a whirl. Thank you for your unbiased informative video.
The first time I went to an Aldi I was surprised at their low prices in comparison to other grocery stores. The quality is good too. First timer tips: Bring your own bags and a quarter.
I live 2 cities away from the Aldi store that I shop at. In fact, I drive past an older Aldi store in a shopping center to go two more miles to the newer store that has well lit parking, a level entry (no steps when my knee is sore) and roomier aisles. It is ALWAYS worth the drive!
I bought a queen size set of flannel bed sheets at Aldi for $12.99. They are great!! You can't touch queen size bed sheets for that price anywhere. I have also bought jeans and sundresses that are terrific. I even have a shrub in my front yard from Aldi. It is HUGE and covered in flowers right now.
I was just made aware recently when I went on vacation and visited the Aldi in that city that the prices are different. I’m going to be checking in my home town to see what the differences are to get an idea hoe many zip codes apart you need to be in order to find further savings. With growing kids the breads, cheeses, eggs and deli are definitely money savers!! Thanks for your videos they are always helpful.
Good list, but I would add seltzer water - the low store brand is usually $2.69 for 12, their high brand is $2.99 for 8 cans. Also, I love the variety of hummus and the party dips (spinach artichoke, jalapeno artichoke, etc) at Aldi. From your list, the Winking Owl Moscato at $2.89 is my FAVE. Thank you!
Just found your channel. Love this!! Thank you for sharing all of these awesome tips! I used to shop at Aldi regularly, and we gradually stopped off some reason, but I am out of work right now (thanks to Corona), so we really should get back to Aldi. You have just reminded me why!!
One thing that's helped me is an idea from the old Tightwad Gazette. I keep a price notebook (now just on my phone) of the price per ounce and "stock up price" of things I buy frequently. That makes it easy for me to tell if the price at Dollar Tree or Aldi is actually better than, say, Kroger. When I put in the price, I'm choosing if it's generic or brand name with a coupon. Sometimes brand name with a coupon is less expensive than generic.
Peel the label off the top of the deli meat container and use it as a storage container. We put them (including the lids) in the top rack of the dishwasher. They wash beautifully.
Yes, aldi has some good items....the frozen pizzas are a great deal for a couple bucks each....we get them a case at a time......also the fresh veggies seem to last longer than the stuff from other stores.... good prices on fruit as well... great place to shop to save on you food bill!
Also, the cake and muffin mixes and pasta salad mixes I got the last time I hauled were great! We got lemon pound cake and double chocolate muffin mix.
I had an interview and tour of aldi and their manager let us know that the spices are made up of mcCormick leftovers, so your paying a dollar for name brand spices
He mentioned you in his new video!! I just saw your comment yesterday and watched The Deal Guy’s new video and you were featured. Also thanks for sharing, this makes me feel so much happier about buying at ALDI
You are spot on for Aldi's. What I've learned recently, is I go to The Dollar Tree store first, then Aldi's (their frozen meats are a fantastic price), and whatever is on my grocery list that Aldi's doesn't have I make a quick trip to Wal-Mart. (I don't have a membership to Costco or Sam's). For your upcoming video on what you are going to release about milk, I do have this positive for Aldi; I have to drink lactose free milk and it's Great!
vaderladyl thank goodness they are all right close to one another in this heat I would just die ! I hit DG @ 7:00 am then head hot for the rest . Aldi’s open @ 9:00 I am always the first person there ! 😀
@@mrsmurphy6371 Yes indeed. I have them close to each other too so I don't have to drive far either or walk in this heat. Here in FL we are well into the 90's and 100's degrees every day. You have a good plan, I wish I was more of a morning person so I can be the first one too at the store. Lol
Wow, I'm happy to hear that there are other people just like me LOL! Dollar Tree and Aldi are the two main stores I shop at. I go to Aldi of course for groceries, and often the special buys. The special buys I typically get, when they have them, are tools and houseplants. I can't help myself, I have a green thumb and love plants. I've bought live succulents and cacti several years ago, and they are still doing great! Dollar Tree has a much larger selection of random household items, as well as cleaning supplies.
I love your videos and love saving money! I saw an ad at Aldi for an air fryer for $30 awhile back. It wasn't available at my Aldi. I called my girlfriend to check her Aldi She bought 2 and gave me one. Air frying has literally changed our lives!
I love Aldi's and get most if not all my groceries from there. I order online and have it delivered. I am trying to stay out of the stores as much as possible. I haven't found anything I didn't like. Fruits & veggies are low price too
I absolutely agree on the products you reviewed. We have the Mama Cozzi pizza at least once a week. I’m retired on a fixed budget. Aldi is my first grocery stop👍🏻
I'm in Scotland and have shopped at Aldi for years now, same over here, milk is not priced as well as some bigger supermarkets, the chocolate is the very same and is great, I find here Aldi is the most competative. We save about £45 a wk shopping there which is about $55. Sandra, Scotland
I am with you on the Aldi pizza!! My husband and I purchase 3 pizzas for my 4 children, my husband and myself. We always have leftovers and my children prefer Aldi pizza over Marcos 😋
I just bought a pair of CrossFit sneakers for work for $12. They are THE most comfortable sneaker I’ve found yet! I’m on my feet 7 hrs a day. They just don’t hurt. 🥰🥰🥰
I love Aldi's and I agree with your list! I also love to get my almond milk and eggs there. Always good quality at a great price! Plus when my son was little, I saved so much money by buying their brand cereals. So much cheaper! Thanks for the video:)
We bought a window unit AC for $99 an a portable AC for $129. Living in a 100 year old house, we have AC upstairs, but now downstairs is cool and comfortable thanks to Aldi. Priced them at Lowes and Home Depot for the same - and we would have paid over $300 more!
When you mentioned lunch meat I immediately thought of their nitrate free bacon that is awesome. Their organic butter is lower priced than any I’ve found elsewhere. And I love their Organic salsa, organic tomato & basil sauce, etc. I also completely agree about their bread. They have the best sourdough!
Aldi is my FAVORITE grocery store. I've turned two reluctant people in my life - my mom and best friend - into Aldi lovers and now they rave about it, too! I sincerely wish I could do a commercial for ALDI. 😊 I have my husband to thank for introducing the store to me.
P.S. Just a few of my favorite things to buy from Aldi are: 1. Cereal (Can't beat the price and my family loves it.) 2. Blocks of cheese 3. Fruit 4. Vegetables 5. Chocolate 6. Chicken stock (useful for a lot of things) 7. Large, family sized cheese pizza (We like to add our own toppings.) 8. Iced Tea Mix in the can 9. Flavored sparkling water 10. Frozen chicken, ground turkey, and ground beef 11. Special buys (So exciting!) And yes, those are just a few. 😀
I gave you a thumbs up because they have a more importantly they have a delivery system which is second to none. They are so unbelievably accommodating!!! The staff really will deliver where ever you are, and read all your notes. I was very ill and they delivered to my door with following every instructions that I requested.
I am on an Optivia healthy eating plan now, but before that we always had the gluten-free items! And they are, for the most part, all amazing! And Affordable, is the big thing🥳🥳
Just came across your channel. As a regular Aldi shopper I have found their baking supplies to be excellent in quality and cost. Really like their chocolate chips. I get the milk chocolate chips and use them as snacking chocolate. At $1.89 per bag it is a great value. Was wondering about your comment on the milk???? Never had a problem with the milk.
I'm now more a Lidl person than an Aldi person but here in the UK, the two are comparable. I'd add a couple of things to your list. The first is bread flour & yeast. The second is cut flowers. Lots of other British supermarkets are now price-matching a LIMITED range of Aldi products but this generally doesn't extend to flour & flowers.
My family have shopped in U.K. for several years in the U.K. they love all their products from food, household, beauty products, candles are highly rated some I’m told. Unfortunately we don’t have an aldi in Northern California.
I absolutely agree with your choices, Matt. The bagels in Aldi's bread line are awesome and much better than most stores. I always enjoy your helpful videos. Thank you!
Thank you, this is a helpful and informative video, I like how you have the info behind you have presented and the research that you have also stated. Good stuff.
You are awesome, thank you for all your hard work & for sharing it with the world! I'm glad you stumbled onto a passion of yours...you are gifted. I hope what you're doing brings you farther into your destiny. Sweet blessings to you...😊
I just bought their raisin bread. Nummy. Brings back memories of eating it as a kid. Aldi finds are awesome. I bought several garden pieces including a arch for my sweet peas. It is huge and good quality. My favorite is their seasonal European finds. Their holiday chocolates and cookies are really a find and a bargain! I usually "stalk" someone who looks like they are from europe and see what they are buying and for sure, it's always been a great choice to pick up what they did! Last year these thin cutout cookies with almonds on the back of them were insanely good and I did not share them!
@exquisitely joyful I have hair to my knees and make my own hair masks because I'm just not into things I can't even pronounce! Actually one reason I quit shopping Walmart. I'm new with the more natural products so thanks for sharing!
Aldi packets of Linseed with seed and berries mix , it's around 1.75 : pounds more elsewhere. Defo beer and the organic wine is lovely Soya milk a fraction of the big stores..
Aldi is my favourite market. #1-it is within walking distance to my house so I do not have to drive, #2 The products, while the selection may be limited, have always been good, #3, The prices for most items are great. I have to agree with you on most things you said in this video. 👍
I would have put baking supplies on the list. I do a lot of baking in cold weather, especially at the hols, and their line of baking supplies is top notch in both quality and price.
DO love Aldi for so many reasons; however, their basic cheeses (cheddar, colby) are a bit less at every other four grocery store I go to. Also, their CHICKEN SALAD with cranberries and almonds, (and the regular flavor) are the BEST everr !!!!!!!!! We haven't tried the chicken third kind of chicken salad (southwest flavor ?) they have, but I'm sure it's yummy, too.
I have to agree with you on every level! Their chocolate is amazing!! Their deals such as today...a welcome mat door mat..$7.00! I have bought the rack of lamb...outstanding! I always buy their baby back ribs and chicken! Love their ciabatta rolls!
If you enjoyed this video, please give it a THUMBS UP as it helps me in the TH-cam algorithm! 😀 Are you enjoying these videos? 👇🏼 Comment below 👇🏼 what store you'd like me to make a video on next!
Hi anyway you can do a trader joe review?
Love your videos! Great info and always pertinent. Great job!
FYI the buns are EIGHT (8) count for 75 cents each.
@@AngelaSanchez-lq4hd you're psychic! Coming VERY soon
The Deal Guy great thanks !!

The 11th thing you should always buy at Aldi, Organics. Their organics are comparable to name brand. Their prices are incredibly reasonable.

EntropyFan ALDI puts UPC codes in multiple places on the products. Makes it much easier for the cashiers, even the registers are designed for speed. That’s why the lines move so fast.
Don't mind them being fast, object to them throwing my food into the cart.
If it clangs, it is thrown.
Yes I love how fast they work.
Their salmon is excellent.
Yes, they amaze me too!
I use the Five Cheese pizza as a base to which I add my own toppings (including Mama Cozi's pepperoni slices).

My dad pretty much only shops Aldi. Gives him some nostalgia after moving here from Germany
Same with my mother-in-law! ❤️
I always liked shopping in Germany.
Really enjoyed the pickles you could buy at the grocery stores. Different, but very tasty.
Also the Deutsche Kuche line is fantastic. Everytime they have the Doppelkeks in stock I buy like 4 or 5 at once
At my Aldis there always seems to be a large German shipment in around November, for all the Christmas sweets but that's when u can normally find the pickled red cabbage, spaetzle, and Glu Wien.

I would agree with the Winking Owl brand wines. I have 2 of the Moscato in my fridge now and it's just as good as the Barefoot brand Moscato.
Yrs their wine is good.
Better than most Winking Owl has best dry red and white. Unless you want price to be 10xhigher.
i went out and bought wine and chocolate because of this video, i can say i was surprised how good it was. and you cant beat the price!!

They are also great prices on regular and organic fruits and vegetables, Aldi’s organic produce cheaper than Walmart’s organic options.
my friend turned me on to aldi organic, alot cheaper here!!
I was surprised that he didn’t mention the fruits and veggies
I purchase all my baking supplies at aldi. And I like the fact that they are committed to being non gmo.
The veggies are also the best priced in my area, compared to our other local grocery stores.
I'm actually able to afford fresh fruit and veggies thanks to Aldi's.
The veggies are fresh & stay longer than our other grocery stores!
Produce at my Aldi is hit or miss, some days it's GREAT and others it's really bad. It's so strange because when I lived in the midwest the produce was always good
Their avocados are usually cheaper than other stores
The produce is fresh, and are at a much lower price than at the larger stores. Their cucumbers in my area are 33 cents each and they are huge. Their herb cheddar biscuits are similar to Red Lobster's.... yum, yum. I love to shop there because you never know what great buy you'll find in the home essentials area. The staff is friendly, helpful, and fast. I get in and out very quickly. No long lines, no parking far away!
The jugs of cashews as well as the deli meat (prosciutto, pepperoni and salami)& cheese rollup party packs are great finds!
Thank you for your video(s)!!!
I love the price on the grass fed beef, kerrygold cheese when they have it, and their salmon (watch country if origins)
Most of their salmon are not healthy country of origin practices. Wish they had healthier foods.
what should the country of origin be?
@@dorothyschelhorn4452 Avoid China, Viet Nam and the Philippines even if it says wild caught. Their fish farming practices are awful and for the wild caught the processing can be just as bad as they lack food safety standards. Fish from these countries is often contaminated with chemicals that the FDA has banned.
Their cinnamon/raisin bagels are unbelievable - - love them
You forgot the fruits and veggies that are really good deal or at least in our area they are
Produce is always fresh because it sells!
In my Aldi all the produce isn't always good and the prices are ridiculously high.
I always buy fruits and veggies at aldis. My father in law paid $3.79lb for red grapes. I paid $1.79. I also spent $100 on groceries yesterday would have probably cost double at a grocery store.
I talked to a general manager at a large produce distributor and asked where he bought his produce from. Answer Aldi's and he's correct.
Don’t they sell local produce? I think they do.
Loved your video! We buy a lot of produce that we don't have in our garden. Also, the medium - large cakes are great for so many occasions. 3.99-5.99!
Buying their pizzas instead of buying from take-out paid for a new freezer in 3 months,( I have 4 boys 17-21years old)!
I forgot to add: Giant/Eagle- we're in Maryland- has been selling a 72 slice block of individually wrapped high quality American cheese,( ingredients the same as Kraft deluxe);Packaged in a cardboard box for $9 something.
Also, this grocer plus two others in our area sell shredded mozzarella cheese in large bags - 32oz and sell for 7.99 or less. Great for home-msde pizzas and family casseroles.
Moser Roth dark chocolate is the very BEST. 85% cocoa = YUM 😋🍫
And its diabetic friendly!!
I just bought some and ate my first piece. It's going to take a minute until I get used to the lack of sweetness. Thanks
Oooooo. Thank you!
@@mightyspuds Amen! Love Moser Roth chocolates.
I have literally spent thousands of dollars on finds all the way down to my 10 yr warranty bed in a box from aldi, I love love love Aldi and am an aldi addict. I have moved to Montana and there is not one, but have called several times the offices and requested one be built. I’ve shopped there for 25yrs I think, love the place and would have managed one had i had the opportunity in the right moment. You can not beat any of the products or most of them, bar none.
I love Aldi’s I like how their clearance cycle is pretty fast, so a good tip check their clearances too.!
The breakfast specially selected premium strawberry fruit spread (jam) is amazing. Much higher quality than Smuckers at a far cheaper price.
Those hotdog and hamburger buns are 75 cents for a pack of 8, not 4. Also I work there and you pretty much nailed it.
Your dumpster saves me so much money..lol
Yay thank you for sharing!!
Why is Aldi Milk about a $1.00 more than Walmart..?
Also hot dogs .75 ¢
75 cents package of hot dogs .
I’m a truck driver for ALDI. You would be surprised what things are actually name brand items under ALDI’s private label. BTW the Caprese Pasta Salad is delicious 🤤.
I’ve been reluctant to try an Aldi store since my local one is out of the way. But now I think I’ll give it a whirl. Thank you for your unbiased informative video.
I try my best. I hope you like it! ☺️
The first time I went to an Aldi I was surprised at their low prices in comparison to other grocery stores. The quality is good too. First timer tips: Bring your own bags and a quarter.
If youre not shopping at Aldi's you're missing the boat!
I live 2 cities away from the Aldi store that I shop at. In fact, I drive past an older Aldi store in a shopping center to go two more miles to the newer store that has well lit parking, a level entry (no steps when my knee is sore) and roomier aisles. It is ALWAYS worth the drive!
I bought a queen size set of flannel bed sheets at Aldi for $12.99. They are great!! You can't touch queen size bed sheets for that price anywhere. I have also bought jeans and sundresses that are terrific. I even have a shrub in my front yard from Aldi. It is HUGE and covered in flowers right now.
They have great breads. I also like the heavy whipping cream, cream cheese, pizza, pasta sauce and vegetables.
Same here! I've switched 98% of my groceries to Aldi in the past 6-8 months.
I was just made aware recently when I went on vacation and visited the Aldi in that city that the prices are different. I’m going to be checking in my home town to see what the differences are to get an idea hoe many zip codes apart you need to be in order to find further savings. With growing kids the breads, cheeses, eggs and deli are definitely money savers!! Thanks for your videos they are always helpful.
Was at Aldi yesterday bought Blueberries at a great price. Even better they were from my state unlike the grocery store.
Good list, but I would add seltzer water - the low store brand is usually $2.69 for 12, their high brand is $2.99 for 8 cans. Also, I love the variety of hummus and the party dips (spinach artichoke, jalapeno artichoke, etc) at Aldi. From your list, the Winking Owl Moscato at $2.89 is my FAVE. Thank you!
Just found your channel. Love this!! Thank you for sharing all of these awesome tips! I used to shop at Aldi regularly, and we gradually stopped off some reason, but I am out of work right now (thanks to Corona), so we really should get back to Aldi. You have just reminded me why!!
I hope things have gotten better for you
One thing that's helped me is an idea from the old Tightwad Gazette. I keep a price notebook (now just on my phone) of the price per ounce and "stock up price" of things I buy frequently. That makes it easy for me to tell if the price at Dollar Tree or Aldi is actually better than, say, Kroger. When I put in the price, I'm choosing if it's generic or brand name with a coupon. Sometimes brand name with a coupon is less expensive than generic.
Their take and bake are amazing on the grill too!!! Our favorite!!!! Also their spaghetti sauces are amazing! We have used it for the last 15 years!
Peel the label off the top of the deli meat container and use it as a storage container. We put them (including the lids) in the top rack of the dishwasher. They wash beautifully.
Yes, aldi has some good items....the frozen pizzas are a great deal for a couple bucks each....we get them a case at a time......also the fresh veggies seem to last longer than the stuff from other stores.... good prices on fruit as well... great place to shop to save on you food bill!
Also, the cake and muffin mixes and pasta salad mixes I got the last time I hauled were great! We got lemon pound cake and double chocolate muffin mix.
I purchased a fire pit there a few years ago for $50.00 and aside from the wear and tear it still works really well!
I had an interview and tour of aldi and their manager let us know that the spices are made up of mcCormick leftovers, so your paying a dollar for name brand spices
He mentioned you in his new video!! I just saw your comment yesterday and watched The Deal Guy’s new video and you were featured. Also thanks for sharing, this makes me feel so much happier about buying at ALDI
Awesome 👍
Good information 😊
Love fresh spices, I buy all new every year at this time. Nice to know, thank you!
Yes! Their organic spices are amazing and under $2 too!
They have a cauliflower dip that is really good! Also love their chocolate and simply nature Greek yogurt. Thanks Matt!
I absolutely LOVE their pizzas! Im so excited they now have the cauliflower crust!
You are spot on for Aldi's.
What I've learned recently, is I go to The Dollar Tree store first, then Aldi's (their frozen meats are a fantastic price), and whatever is on my grocery list that Aldi's doesn't have I make a quick trip to Wal-Mart. (I don't have a membership to Costco or Sam's). For your upcoming video on what you are going to release about milk, I do have this positive for Aldi; I have to drink lactose free milk and it's Great!
Heather you sound like me ! That’s exactly what I do !
@@mrsmurphy6371 Me too!
vaderladyl thank goodness they are all right close to one another in this heat I would just die ! I hit DG @ 7:00 am then head hot for the rest . Aldi’s open @ 9:00 I am always the first person there ! 😀
@@mrsmurphy6371 Yes indeed. I have them close to each other too so I don't have to drive far either or walk in this heat. Here in FL we are well into the 90's and 100's degrees every day. You have a good plan, I wish I was more of a morning person so I can be the first one too at the store. Lol
Wow, I'm happy to hear that there are other people just like me LOL! Dollar Tree and Aldi are the two main stores I shop at. I go to Aldi of course for groceries, and often the special buys. The special buys I typically get, when they have them, are tools and houseplants. I can't help myself, I have a green thumb and love plants. I've bought live succulents and cacti several years ago, and they are still doing great! Dollar Tree has a much larger selection of random household items, as well as cleaning supplies.
I love your videos and love saving money! I saw an ad at Aldi for an air fryer for $30 awhile back. It wasn't available at my Aldi. I called my girlfriend to check her Aldi She bought 2 and gave me one. Air frying has literally changed our lives!
I love Aldi's and get most if not all my groceries from there. I order online and have it delivered. I am trying to stay out of the stores as much as possible. I haven't found anything I didn't like. Fruits & veggies are low price too
I absolutely agree on the products you reviewed. We have the Mama Cozzi pizza at least once a week. I’m retired on a fixed budget. Aldi is my first grocery stop👍🏻
On the most recent trip, I bought Aunt Maple's protein pancake mix -- it and the Aunt Maple syrup were wonderful!
I like the grinding black pepper & the pink Himalayan sea salt! And their ground fresh bags of coffee! Great vegetables!
I've never shopped at Aldi's. You've inspired me to give them a try, Matt!
I'm in Scotland and have shopped at Aldi for years now, same over here, milk is not priced as well as some bigger supermarkets, the chocolate is the very same and is great, I find here Aldi is the most competative. We save about £45 a wk shopping there which is about $55. Sandra, Scotland
I am with you on the Aldi pizza!! My husband and I purchase 3 pizzas for my 4 children, my husband and myself. We always have leftovers and my children prefer Aldi pizza over Marcos 😋
I just bought a pair of CrossFit sneakers for work for $12. They are THE most comfortable sneaker I’ve found yet! I’m on my feet 7 hrs a day. They just don’t hurt. 🥰🥰🥰
I love Aldi's and I agree with your list! I also love to get my almond milk and eggs there. Always good quality at a great price! Plus when my son was little, I saved so much money by buying their brand cereals. So much cheaper! Thanks for the video:)
I love their knock your sprouts off grain bread.
Aldi’s sheets are Super soft, love them!!
We bought a window unit AC for $99 an a portable AC for $129. Living in a 100 year old house, we have AC upstairs, but now downstairs is cool and comfortable thanks to Aldi. Priced them at Lowes and Home Depot for the same - and we would have paid over $300 more!
When you mentioned lunch meat I immediately thought of their nitrate free bacon that is awesome. Their organic butter is lower priced than any I’ve found elsewhere. And I love their Organic salsa, organic tomato & basil sauce, etc.
I also completely agree about their bread. They have the best sourdough!
Their Italian is the best I have ever had!
Their sprouted bread is great too!
If you are gluten free, the GF bread is very respectable and in my top 3
Joni Kelly LMT yes I eat mostly organic and non gmo and some gluten free as well. I love all their organics!
Kim Martin yes I eat the sprouted after watching Bobby from Flav city discuss it lol.
Aldi is my FAVORITE grocery store. I've turned two reluctant people in my life - my mom and best friend - into Aldi lovers and now they rave about it, too! I sincerely wish I could do a commercial for ALDI. 😊 I have my husband to thank for introducing the store to me.
P.S. Just a few of my favorite things to buy from Aldi are:
1. Cereal (Can't beat the price and my family loves it.)
2. Blocks of cheese
3. Fruit
4. Vegetables
5. Chocolate
6. Chicken stock (useful for a lot of things)
7. Large, family sized cheese pizza (We like to add our own toppings.)
8. Iced Tea Mix in the can
9. Flavored sparkling water
10. Frozen chicken, ground turkey, and ground beef
11. Special buys (So exciting!)
And yes, those are just a few. 😀
Hamburger meat! Grass feed and organic makes the absolute best hamburgers. $5.79 lb.
I gave you a thumbs up because they have a more importantly they have a delivery system which is second to none. They are so unbelievably accommodating!!! The staff really will deliver where ever you are, and read all your notes. I was very ill and they delivered to my door with following every instructions that I requested.
I am on an Optivia healthy eating plan now, but before that we always had the gluten-free items! And they are, for the most part, all amazing! And Affordable, is the big thing🥳🥳
Just came across your channel. As a regular Aldi shopper I have found their baking supplies to be excellent in quality and cost. Really like their chocolate chips. I get the milk chocolate chips and use them as snacking chocolate. At $1.89 per bag it is a great value. Was wondering about your comment on the milk???? Never had a problem with the milk.
You have given me a reason to shop at Aldi! I see that I have been missing out. Great video! Thanks bunches!!!!
Thanks for being here Suzanne!
Hope you enjoy your first shop!!
You’ll be hooked once you go!
I'm now more a Lidl person than an Aldi person but here in the UK, the two are comparable. I'd add a couple of things to your list. The first is bread flour & yeast. The second is cut flowers. Lots of other British supermarkets are now price-matching a LIMITED range of Aldi products but this generally doesn't extend to flour & flowers.
Best price on chips. Also frequently have best sales on ice cream sandwiches.
My family have shopped in U.K. for several years in the U.K. they love all their products from food, household, beauty products, candles are highly rated some I’m told. Unfortunately we don’t have an aldi in Northern California.
The buns you mentioned (sales end today, of course) are 75¢ for a package of 8 (so, even better)!
I absolutely agree with your choices, Matt. The bagels in Aldi's bread line are awesome and much better than most stores. I always enjoy your helpful videos. Thank you!
Thank you, this is a helpful and informative video, I like how you have the info behind you have presented and the research that you have also stated. Good stuff.
Thank you Raul!
You are awesome, thank you for all your hard work & for sharing it with the world! I'm glad you stumbled onto a passion of yours...you are gifted. I hope what you're doing brings you farther into your destiny. Sweet blessings to you...😊
Aldi tuna in spring water is the best!
And they have skip jack!
I just bought their raisin bread. Nummy. Brings back memories of eating it as a kid. Aldi finds are awesome. I bought several garden pieces including a arch for my sweet peas. It is huge and good quality. My favorite is their seasonal European finds. Their holiday chocolates and cookies are really a find and a bargain! I usually "stalk" someone who looks like they are from europe and see what they are buying and for sure, it's always been a great choice to pick up what they did! Last year these thin cutout cookies with almonds on the back of them were insanely good and I did not share them!
10 things to buy at Aldi : 1. Everything 2. Everything 3. Everything 4. Everything 5. Everything 6. Everything 7. Everything 8. Everything 9. Everything 10. EVERYTHING 🤠
AGREE
@@robertcraig4704 💓
Some things are more expensive. Don't get liters of name branded soda.
Pretty much 😂
@exquisitely joyful I have hair to my knees and make my own hair masks because I'm just not into things I can't even pronounce! Actually one reason I quit shopping Walmart. I'm new with the more natural products so thanks for sharing!
Thank you for this info. Just had an Aldi open in Hattiesburg, MS. And was not sure what items were a good deal and which ones were not.
I love Aldi, please do more video on this store. Thank you for sharing your finds with us. I know this took a lot of time and money to do.
Aldi packets of Linseed with seed and berries mix , it's around 1.75 : pounds more elsewhere. Defo beer and the organic wine is lovely
Soya milk a fraction of the big stores..
Just discovered your channel tonight. THANK YOU for all this valuable info! I cannot WAIT to go to Aldi today!
Aldi is my favourite market. #1-it is within walking distance to my house so I do not have to drive, #2 The products, while the selection may be limited, have always been good, #3, The prices for most items are great. I have to agree with you on most things you said in this video. 👍
You are dead on with Aldi. One of my favorite places to shop!!!! Thank you for sharing
I would have put baking supplies on the list. I do a lot of baking in cold weather, especially at the hols, and their line of baking supplies is top notch in both quality and price.
The Brioche bread is soooo good!
Yum!
Yes
Make the best French toast
I love those always got them, when I'm there.
If you go to Aldi on certain mornings to can get the meat at markdown at 50% . I love Aldi and always try to shop there thanks for sharing
DO love Aldi for so many reasons; however, their basic cheeses (cheddar, colby) are a bit less at every other four grocery store I go to. Also, their CHICKEN SALAD with cranberries and almonds, (and the regular flavor) are the BEST everr !!!!!!!!! We haven't tried the chicken third kind of chicken salad (southwest flavor ?) they have, but I'm sure it's yummy, too.
I have to agree with you on every level! Their chocolate is amazing!! Their deals such as today...a welcome mat door mat..$7.00! I have bought the rack of lamb...outstanding! I always buy their baby back ribs and chicken! Love their ciabatta rolls!
