I'd HIGHLY recommend trying out their version of name brand items. We save so much money on their granola bars, oatmeal, breads, canned goods, pasta and all their baking goodies. I find myself shopping at Aldi more and more each month. I used to just go once a month, then maybe twice a month. This time I've been at least three times. I'm swapping out more of my usual grocery store items for Aldi items and saving money each grocery trip. There are only 2 things that I purchased that I would not recommend this time. Hooray!
-Chicken Sausage - $2.99 - delicious - we grilled it for dinner
-Penne pasta - 0.79 - delicious!
-Chicken broth -$1.19 - great!
-Tri color full sized peppers - $2.49 - great!
-Jiffy cornbread - $0.47 0 great!
-Superberries - $2.99 - Brookside knock off - delicious!
-Pesto - $1.69 - delicious!
-Cinnamon - $1.19 for 4.25oz - great deal!
*Cinnamon swirl bread - $1.49 - would NOT reccommend. It was not nearly as soft and cinnamony as the name brand Pepperidge farm version
-EVOO - $2.99 for a huge container!
-Pumpkin - $0.79 - great deal and great taste!
-Angel Hair pasta - $0.47 - super deal!! Their box is twice the size of regular boxes in other stores and half the price.
-Rotini - $0.79 - great!
-Taco seasoning - $0.35 - looks great, but haven't gotten a chance to try it yet.
-4lb sugar - $1.47 - great deal!!
-Lemon Bars -$1.89 - 6 lemon bars were SO GOOD!! I keep these in my bag for a snack on the go and they're delicious.
-Cranberry vinaigrette - $1.99 - seasonal item that is SO GOOD!! We have been using it a ton for salads.
-Frozen berries $2.09 - good deal and good for smoothies
*Penguin crackers - $1.49 - yuck! I LOVE Goldfish crackers - the taste and the salty factor. So this not salty penguins were disappointing. If you just want a cheese cracker you'd probably like the penguins.
I also bought a jumbo box of diapers for just $15.99. There were 90 diapers in the box which is a larger box than they usually carry. The diapers were only $0.17 each!! I am usually a Pampers Swaddlers fan, but these Aldi diapers are really amazing. My only tip is to SIZE UP because they run a little small.
Now I'm curious about the following Aldi items:
Mocha iced coffee
Eggs - do they only sell them in 6 packs?
Frozen foods - what are your favorite frozen food items at Aldi??
Thanks for checking out my great Aldi deals this month! Have you tried any of these products??
Can't wait to find some new things to share with you in November.
Between you and Justine! I really need to go to Aldi! I have only been a few times!
ReplyDeleteMy Aldi has eggs by the dozen. They are a great price. At first I thought they seemed a bit on the small side, but they are actually very comparable to the size of Kroger's large eggs. I think all the "large" eggs seem a bit smaller to me though. IDK, I think my mom always bought x-large, so my mind is reverting to how big those eggs were.
ReplyDeleteI always get orange juice concentrate there, the all white meat chicken nuggets, the frozen pancakes and waffles as well. I have also gotten their frozen shrimp. A friend told me their pepperoni is spicy so the frozen pepperoni pizzas were not their favorite. I ALWAYS buy Aldi diapers and have been in love with both the price and quality for a few years now! LOVE IT! xoxo ERIN
ReplyDeleteSometimes my Aldi only have six packs and then other times they have 12 and even 18. I would say just keep checking. I'm going to look for that cranberry dressing… It sounds so yummy! I told you not to try the caramel apples right? I also forgot to mention that they have an awesome return policy for food you don't like. I have only used it for produce, so if you end up running into that as well you can return it. Have you tried their take and bake pizzas yet? We love those!

ReplyDeleteI'm so happy that you're enjoying Aldi! That's so funny that you can only get half dozen containers of eggs - I think my stores only carry them in full dozens. However, they are local eggs so that might be the determining factor. You picked up so many of my favorites this time! For frozen food I love their extra fine green beans and the peas. I keep that frozen fruit on hand for smoothies too - I love finding bags of just the frozen peaches.

SO MUCH I love about this post!! I LOVE seeing other people's Aldi finds and recommendations! We've tried the frozen breaded shrimp and it's really good. We actually just had a frozen pizza last night; it was a meatball marinara "flavor", ha...very good. I've gotten their cinnamon raisin swirl bread several times and it's always been excellent, but I will say the packaging in our store is different than the one you've shown.
ReplyDeleteFrozen shrimp, frozen salmon, frozen veggies, ice cream, frozen fries, their grass fed beef and cheddar "Chex mix" is awesome. Also, the hummus, goat cheese- really all cheese....Great post!!!!
ReplyDeleteI just went to Aldi for the first time today and found so many great deals. I'm sold! I will have to do a post on what I bought and how we like it.
