As someone who regularly shops at aldi. Other things that are almost always cheaper there. Baby wipes, toilet paper, toilet cleaner, diapers (if they have them), parchment paper, aluminum foil, butter, bacon and heavy cream! Also I absolutely love their trash bags. I can get them cheaper other places but I find the Aldi ones hold up better, and I'm all about having trash bags that don't rip.

The diapers are pretty good too! I had an aldi nearby when my firstborn was in diapers and they were cheaper than th e walmart diapers with the same "coverage" so to speak

Would you consider doing a video on all you can do with oats? I feel like that would be awesome

Your son looks exactly like his dad. Love Aldi stores.

The ravioli and the tortellini are fantastic. Taking a crockpot full of one of each to 2 families today!

I haven't had the ravioli but second your opinion on the tortellini!

Aldi's sauerkraut in the jar is outstanding (as it should be from a German company!)

My ALDI must buys: fresh salmon, frozen ahi, greek yogurt, fig bars, dark chocolate, coconut oil, everything bagel seasoning, take n bake calzones, strawberries and blueberries, multipacks of bell peppers, baby spinach and 3-wick soy candles.

My nephew gifted many people huge charcuterie baskets and everything was from Aldi. We were one of the lucky recipients. It was impressive.

Cereal, cheese, eggs, butter, chicken broth, produce were some of my favorite things to buy when I lived where we had Aldi in our area.

I’m in Southern Illinois and have an Aldi and love it. I do most of my grocery shopping there. What I can’t find there, I go to Walmart which is across the street from my Aldi, very handy for me. Give me my quarter back…..too funny! I buy all my produce at Aldi which is always better than my Walmart. They take all types of payment at my Aldi. I love Arizona. I had an uncle who lived there when I was young and my family would go visit him every year on vacation. He had his own business and made good money. My family was poor and he paid for everything when we went to visit him. He had a large home and we stayed at his house. He gave my mom money to buy groceries for all of us. My parents would try to pay for something and he would make them put their money back in their pocket. He even made my dad take money for gas. He was divorced and had no kids, so he took us to be his immediate family. He said my mom’s cooking was worth him buying the groceries lol. My mom was a great cook. Thank you for the memories of my uncle. He was my mom’s oldest brother and I miss him so much. Great video too!

Get your house paid off - that saves money and the peace of mind is priceless!

Amen Marilyn! Five years into my 30 year mortgage I refinanced to a 15 year mortgage. A few months before the loan was to be paid off, I had a massive stroke. I can no longer work and having my house paid off is such peace of mind!

Always the Swiss chocolate!!!

It's so interesting to see an Aldi in another country 😅 so similiar yet so different than our German ones. Love the German addition of having to do a deposit for the shopping card ❤

We used to live in an area that had a lot of Aldi stores, now the closest one is 8 hours away. Every time we visit our family Aldi is a MUST stop, we have our camper so I can get all kinds of stuff!! I miss it so much.

The ravioli and the tortellini at Aldi are fantastic, love them for my shelf stable meals for our college aged grandkids and you can make so many 30 minute meals!!!

ALDI ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ it's both a magical and dangerous place for me 😅

My 2 year old granddaughter loves the Turtles. We bought them at our last grocery trip to Aldi. And it's the cutest hearing her ask for some turtles!

My must buys at Aldi- their salsa, their ketchup (we are Heinz snobs but it's a decent dupe), their Asian sauces (General Gao's and such), their dry bagged ranch/italian/gravy/chili mixes, thier giant bag of Stevia, their 12 pack of burgers, their crescent or cinnamon rolls, their Chef Boyardee dupes (quick lunch when life gets away from us).

Yes, even inflation has hit ALDI. I've been shopping there so long I remember when the vanilla was $2 a bottle. Today it's $5. 😅

The ravioli is one of my fave buys. I always grab the mushroom ravioli. I also always pick up the brioche when they have it. There's a regular and a chocolate chip, and they make the BEST French toast!

Those raviolis are good! Have only tried the mushroom ones so far and thumbs up on them.

Yay AZ!! The sunsets *are* amazing. Sometimes I think we take them for granted. I'm genuinely hoping that Aldi opens up a store near Tucson/Marana/Vail as the southern part of the state remains Aldi-less.

AZ sunset, yes. 😊 AZ dust storm, nooooo.😮

They just had it on sale/Aldi saver for $1.30!

Sometimes it is about doing the fun thing - I’m putting that on a t-shirt. Also, Arizona sunsets are AMAZING!

Tortellini is ok… the Mama Rosa’s pepperoni pizza is amazing!!

My top 5: produce on sale (usually fruit, but occasionally tomatoes, avocados); everything bagels, spices, butterball turkey’s (especially around T-Day/Christmas), dairy (eggs, butter, milk)

I purchased most of the fruit, vegetables and goat cheese for my daughter's wedding (75 people) and wedding rehearsal dinner (25 people) for $60 at Aldis!!!! Saved me about $100 over Sam's club!!!

Yes the ravioli is good. I get my organic chicken, beef and vegetable broths from Aldi as well as organic marinara sauce (tomato basil), organic veggies and fruits, organic butter & milk & eggs $ orange juice, Emporium Irish cheese, ciabatta rolls, organic coffee.

Dulce de Leche is just sweetened condensed milk, simmered in the sealed can, in a pan of water for an hour or so. It's dead easy & cheap - google for exact instructions 👍🏻

I loved all the interjections with your sister. I hope you had a great time!

The $4 wrapped cheeses at ALDI are excellent. Last year I got the bacon bits smoked Gouda and a smoked Cheddar. Delicious. And they had a nice pink Prosecco for $10 that I can't find anymore. It was really from Italy.

Love the frozen ravioli!

Those extra cheddar turtles 🐢 are amazing. Way better than the goldfish. 👌🏻👌🏻

Tortellini at Aldi is awesome!! My kids LOVE them. Quick and easy!

We love the Simply Nature sauces. They are all we use now. Also, Aldi brand sauerkraut & English muffins are fantastic.

We tried the the crabmeat and ricotta cheese raviolis in the freezer section and they were delicious!

Hey a box of Mac n cheese, can of Chilli, small can of chopped Chilli peppers and a bag of salad. Great easy cheat meal.

Eggs are free where I'm at.. I got 14 hens in the back yard lol

I am a serious Aldi shopper! I have very limited time and have a tight budget, so Aldo is perfect for me. Must buys for me there: milk, cereal, salsa, pretty much any dairy products and snacks. One of things that helps me save money is the fact that I don't have a million options of things there, so I'm less tempted to make impulse purchases (as long I have self control in the " aisle of shame' 😅)

Arizona sunsets, its one of the reasons i love living here

There's only 4 things that I miss since moving to Idaho from California. (1) Sam's Club, (2) Aldi's, (3) el Pollo Loco - I still tease myself by having the app and getting emails, and (4) 99 cent only store - for veggies. Pro Tip: When it comes to those peanut butter cups, you are correct! They go in the freezer, but I tend to put them inside the old Lima Bean bag ... NO ONE will ever look in there. ... Including me sometimes. It was SO NICE to see Lauren. She needs to do more, even podcasts with you. Aldi's must have's ... the ravioli is good, but my all time favorite item is the Organic Whole Wheat Spaghetti. The texture is absolutely beautiful. I remember 5 years ago when it was only 97cents a box and I watched it go to almost $2 in just 3 years. But is still worth it.

Glad to see you Lauren ! And happy birthday !!

Weaver's Needle! Great hike choice 😃

That pizza is $5.56 by me! WOW at my hometown Aldi!

The frozen ones are delicious. I've never had the vacuum packed shelf stable ones.

I love their sparkling water. And the price

If you to Aldi, you have to get their fudge brownie mix! Best brownies in my opinion.

I just went to Aldi’s in my area 2 days ago and bought cucumbers for0.65 each versus Walmart’s 0.82 each. I also bought their thin pizzas which were$2.95 versus Walmart “Jack’s” brand that are at $3.86. And… the French bread pizza’s are so delicious from Aldi’s. Frozen pizza is my one indulgence! Most veggies are also less expensive at Aldi’s versus Walmart.

Can't get pineapple in Jamaica for 1 dollar each and it's grown here go figure

FILL YOUR SPICE CABINET. Aldi was a life saver when I had my first apartment. I would have spent double trying to get basic seasonings, cooking oils and pantry staples anywhere else

Try international grocery stores: Indian, Middle Eastern, Asian. Spices are so much less.

My Aldi always accepted CC. BTW, if you don't have a quarter, you can go inside and ask one of the cashiers. They have always done this at mine, but YMMV, especially with so many folks don't carry cash. I use a 3D printed "coin" that I always carry in my car. Their Keto bread items are really good and DOLLARS less than everywhere else.

Amen! Love AZ…. Miss the cactus!! ❤

Their crab and lobster tortellini are delicious! Would recommend!! Their lunch meat and sliced cheese are my go-to as well. I love their thick cut pepperoni or salami, 4 minutes in the air fryer at 400* and you have a great snack that is muuuuuuuch cheaper than jerky.

I thought it was hilarious that you went for the turtles. We buy the turtles for lunches, and the price may not be fantastic, but we've found that the box lasts a lot longer than we expected! And really delicious too!

My Aldi in Long Island, NY has eggs for $2.35, and I always get a loaf of white bread in addition to other breads for FIFTY CENTS! White bread for grilled cheese or PB&J is the comfort food of all time!

Beautiful sunsets. We had one yesterday, it had pink, purple and orange. Just beautiful!

Love your son yawning in the background but you can see it in the door reflection 😂

The ravioli are pretty good! I get their cheese & mushroom tortellini & make a cold tortellini salad with cucumbers, grape tomatoes, diced onion/garlic, olive oil, apple cider vinegar & Italian seasoning & its *chef's kiss*! Love your energy & vids. Never stop being awesome! 🌸💜

Gosh, I love Aldi, they have a Simply Nature line that I adore. I love their take n bake pizzas, their candles, their Aldi Finds aisle (lol). The stuff in the Aldi Finds aisle is reasonable. I've gotten a treadmill years ago that is still going strong for $100 on clearance! I love the exercise bike I got there and use it all the time. Their oat milk is THE BEST! Their cheeses (not sliced cheese but specialty cheeses) are the best including their goats milk cheese. Not only is this store affordable, they have gems that you cannot find ANYWHERE else. I highly recommend Aldi.

Aldi Nanuet, NY: eggs 2.89 cereal: off brand cheerios 1.89, strawberry flakes similar to Kelloggs red berries: 1.99, flat pretzels: 1.99, regular pretzels 1.29, sandwich cookies: 1.29, off brand ICE: .55, we recently found avocados .50 (I bought 30- I have kids that are happy to eat them for snack)

I really wish Aldi would expand to the Pacific Northwest and Colorado. My son lives in Denver and food prices are outrageous.

Those raviolis at Aldi's are amazing. I buy them all the time and can't tell a difference in those and the more expensive ones at other larger box stores.

Ravioli and tortellini are great and so are gnocchi! Also in my area eggs are $2.87 they went down for awhile and are going back up!

I eat the ravioli and tortellini a lot. They are pretty shelf stable and make a quick meal with some sauce and a little meat source.

I like that the Aldi brand items don't contain food dyes. I'm not perfect about reading every ingredient label but I am trying to stay away from a lot of added food dyes so I enjoy this feature of the brand.

Lauren's haircut is so cute!

Walmart Oats cost 3 cents more. Found that out this weekend. Aldis for the win🎉 Just moved to TN from CA and Aldis almost makes it worth it. 🎉

The prices at this Aldi on produce were significantly cheaper than at my Aldi stores in Connecticut. But I'm still a diehard Aldi fan.

I love the ravioli. Buy the often

Never been in an Aldi, but hope to go one day. The deals look amazing. Thanks for shopping with us!

Yes to all the eegees!!!! It’s not as good since they got bought, but still good! And Dave is right. Always stop for eegees!

I live in Australia and I always get envious of the variety they have in the Aldi store in the US 😅

Thank-you🎉 Christine for the Aldi shop, I love 🛍️🛒 shopping there , 👍😃 great topic and 📷 video.

Aw, love when you get to go to Aldi!! I really appreciate hearing about the dupes for the big corporate brands. Generic/store brand all the way!

😂 it's so funny to hear you get excited about Aldi's because in St Louis there's one in every corner even the upscale neighborhoods have an Aldi's...I have at least three stores within 10 mins from me. I never shop there and never think about it often. I do shop at Trader Joe's every week...

Regarding the name brand items, I'll price compare aldi vs. my regular grocery store and Aldi always has the better price (unless the grocery store is running a good sale). I love aldi lol

I laughed out loud when you said Blue Bell is a religion, 100% agree as a fellow raised Texan! The mint chocolate chip still my fave, no one else compares! Arizona is amazing, loved it when I was there for Tech school.

The ravioli... ok. Cook it in broth. It needs a boost, but handy if you don't have the urge to scratch make them. Mushroom is good in an al buro sauce.

The Aldi Specially marinara sauce for $3.89 is excellent! Just a few years ago it was .89 cents! I only buy Victoria sauce and this sauce. It’s way better than Raos sauce.

LOVE the 12 (multi-) Grain bread, and the flatbreads for pizza and the charcuterie stuff--goat cheese way less than Kroger. Also they often have interesting frozen stuff--different pireogis and other stuff like that for a one-time meal.

The premium vanilla and chocolate ice creams are a great Haagan Daaz dupe. So good!

I loved in Arizona for 14 years as a kid!! The Arizona sunsets really are the best!! And same with eegee's!

The ravioli is very good; I especially like the mushroom one!
