0:00
Welcome back everybody. Thomas and I
0:03
just got back from Aldi doing a grocery
0:07
haul. We're starting the third week of
0:10
February. So, we needed to pick up some
0:12
things. We especially went after some
0:14
meats also so we can give those a try
0:16
because we really haven't tried meats
0:18
over at Aldi and we wanted to give that
0:21
a try along with some other things. I
0:23
will tell you what the items are for and
0:26
also right above me somewhere I will put
0:29
the price of what the item is. I think
0:31
some of y'all like that. That way you'll
0:33
know what the cost is at our Aldi. And
0:35
we're in Katie, Texas. That's the Aldi
0:38
we're at. All right, you guys. I'm going
0:40
to go through the bags, show you what we
0:42
got, and then y'all can tell us what you
0:44
think. Let's start with this one because
0:46
I'm pretty thirsty right now. This is
0:48
zero calories, zero sugar, zero
0:50
sweeteners, zero sodium. This is our
0:52
favorite Waterlue grape flavor. We like
0:56
that. I'm just going to dig in right
0:58
here cuz
1:02
let's taste test it for you.
1:07
Woo!
1:13
That's delicious. All right, let's dig
1:15
into the bags. All right, I'm going to
1:17
be making a lasagna. already had the
1:19
stuff to make the lasagna, except I
1:21
didn't have cottage cheese. So,
1:24
I picked up some cottage cheese to make
1:26
that big old lasagna that I'm going to
1:28
be making for us when Joseph and Megan
1:31
come over. So, I have a big pan of it.
1:34
Okay. Picked up some sour cream cuz I'm
1:37
going to be making a cheesecake.
1:41
It's a secret. I don't want to say it
1:44
too loud. Everybody will be making a
1:45
cheesecake. And I picked up some cream
1:48
cheese also for the cheesecake. This is
1:51
Happy Farms
1:54
and this is Friendly Farms. So, we're
1:57
going to be trying different, you know,
2:00
name brands or brands that we haven't
2:02
tried before of different products from
2:05
Aldi. And we're going to be trying the
2:07
Friendly Farms cottage cheese also.
2:12
I'm breaking away, you guys. We'll see.
2:15
If we don't like it, then we're gonna go
2:16
back to our regular brands that we do
2:18
like.
2:20
All right, we got some Parmesan cheese.
2:24
Um, what was that for?
2:29
All right, we got some Parmesan cheese.
2:33
I'm sure it'll come to me at a point.
2:36
All right, we picked up this pineapple
2:40
pablano guacamole.
2:42
I so want to try this right here. It is
2:45
avocados with pineapple and roasted
2:48
pablano pepper. Oh, a little savory and
2:52
sweet going on there. Yeah, because I I
2:54
picked up some crackers, too. And I'll
2:56
tell you about those when I get to that
2:58
box.
3:00
Looks really good.
3:03
And then I picked up this hummus and I
3:06
got the variety with the olive topenod
3:09
in it. That look good?
3:12
A delicious snacky snack.
3:15
Now, I like to get chicken tenders and
3:19
put this on top of them and then pop
3:22
them in the oven.
3:24
That makes some good delicious chicken.
3:26
Makes them nice and moist and delicious.
3:29
Now, we're kind of in the refrigerator
3:31
bag right here. That's why all of this
3:33
is coming out like like that. We're
3:36
trying to keep everything kind of nice
3:37
and cool on our way home. All right.
3:40
I've never had Aldi's pico de gallo. So,
3:44
we got it right here. And I love pico
3:46
deayo with my eggs in the morning with
3:48
spinach and some cheese on it. Yeah,
3:51
it's really good. So, that looks good
3:54
there. Nice and fresh. And then we've
3:57
got I picked up a bag of broccoli
4:00
fuettes because I always have this in my
4:03
freezer.
4:05
All right.
4:07
Now, we're going to start. We're going
4:08
to go over the meats here. I'm going to
4:10
put away all of this and then come back
4:11
and show you the meat so we have some
4:13
room.
4:14
All right, y'all. I knew what the
4:16
parmesan was for. When I cook up the
4:19
broccoli, I like to sprinkle the
4:20
parmesan on top also. Yummy. So, we have
4:25
chicken breast. Now, this is 2 and 12
4:28
pounds and the total was $9.96.
4:32
is considered a family pack. 99%
4:35
fat-ree, boneless, and skinless. And I
4:39
guess it is by Never Any. That's what it
4:43
says. If you've ever had their chicken
4:45
before and made something, let us know.
4:47
I'll be making a dish for y'all with
4:49
that.
4:51
And then I got a pork tenderloin.
4:54
I love to throw these into the crock pot
4:56
in the morning and then you can have it
4:58
by lunchtime or dinner. This is a
5:00
teriyak flavors. We've never had the
5:05
pork tenderloins from Aldi, so we're
5:07
going to try that out. Kind of like the
5:09
chicken there.
5:11
Then we've got some beef cube steaks.
5:15
These were $8.39
5:17
and for 1B2
5:20
oz. I like to throw these in the crock
5:23
pot and make smothered style cube steaks
5:28
with that. Thomas picked this up and
5:32
this was what is it? $1560.
5:36
I guess we're splurging right here.
5:38
Yep.
5:39
And these are what are these? I saw the
5:44
bone in short ribs. So, we're definitely
5:47
going to throw those in the Well, we'll
5:49
sear them really good. Give them a nice
5:51
color and some crisp edges. Give them
5:53
nice and seasoned. Put them in the crock
5:55
pot and cook those up. If y'all want to
5:58
see a video on that, let me know. We'll
6:01
do that for you. Those were the meats
6:03
that we got. We've never tried these
6:05
meats over at Aldi. So, we wanted to
6:08
give those a try. So, okay. Now, we're
6:10
going to go back to the bags. We have
6:12
these two bags, and we have three more
6:14
bags. I thought we did pretty good for
6:16
$150. I was surprised.
6:19
So, we picked up our favorite nuts,
6:22
pistachios, roasted. There's sea salt on
6:25
them. I thought I was your favorite nut.
6:29
Whoops.
6:31
All right.
6:33
They know. They know. Anyway, right. All
6:36
right. Um
6:39
Thomas picked up these. He got his can
6:41
of Waterlue there. Thomas picked these
6:44
up for himself. Dark chocolate sea salt
6:47
caramels.
6:48
Mhm. Yummy.
6:50
He picked that up. And then I got the
6:54
dark chocolate covered almonds.
6:57
So Thomas and I,
7:02
those are snacks for us. Okay, I picked
7:05
up some potato.
7:09
Yeah, I like frying them up in a pan
7:13
with some delicious flavor. Yummy.
7:15
That's good. Got that.
7:19
We picked up some chunky salsa. Now,
7:22
I've never tried this brand from Aldi.
7:25
So, this was a Kasa Mamita.
7:28
Okay, don't laugh at me.
7:31
Do they?
7:33
I know. 24 ounces of that. And that
7:40
Here they are. Right here. Right here.
7:44
These are the blue corn tortilla chips.
7:46
Gluten-free. made with sea salt. We love
7:50
these right here. And there's another
7:52
bag, too, that we love even more. Where'
7:55
we get that one from? Right here.
7:59
Yeah. So, we're going to get these right
8:01
here. Or we like these right here.
8:04
Avocado oil, sea salt kettle cooked
8:06
potato chips. So, these all they have in
8:10
it is avocado oil, sea salt, and the
8:13
potato.
8:14
And then these are the corn tortilla
8:17
chips. So
8:19
that price and that price. And we're
8:23
going to have it with the chunky salsa.
8:27
Yep.
8:29
That's mild.
8:31
Yes. That's mild.
8:32
You're going to have salsa,
8:36
y'all. He was in the same store as me,
8:38
so
8:40
I wasn't paying attention.
8:43
All right. All right, I picked up some
8:44
creamy almond butter. It's to go with
8:46
some crackers that I got, but we'll dig
8:48
for those here in just a minute. This is
8:50
creamy almond butter and 12 oz.
8:56
And I got a cucumber.
8:59
This that is not the only fruits and
9:02
vegetables we got. Okay, it's coming up.
9:08
Blah, I know what y'all are thinking.
9:10
Okay, spinach. Oh, we like spinach in
9:12
everything.
9:14
It goes in our eggs, soups, whatever we
9:16
make. Throw a handful of that good
9:18
spinach in there.
9:20
Use it instead of lettuce for a
9:22
sandwich.
9:23
I know.
9:25
Now, I am making a delicious cabbage
9:28
skillet meal that's coming up in the
9:30
next few days. So, we're super excited
9:32
about it. Yep. All right. We picked up
9:36
some avocados. Hope these get ripe soon.
9:42
Um, I am making a tuna fish dish for you
9:46
guys. It involves avocados. With lint
9:49
season coming up, we need more fish
9:51
dishes, right?
9:55
And I got some strawberries. These are
9:58
for my cheesecake. I'm going to top it
10:00
with strawberry with a kind of a
10:02
strawberry drizzle glaze kind of thing.
10:05
And then we picked up some strawberries
10:07
for ourselves. You have to dig deep if
10:09
you really want to get some good
10:10
strawberries over there as well. That's
10:12
what we did. And I found these.
10:16
And they just look really yummy. So,
10:19
yep.
10:22
And we got some celery.
10:27
This was kind of a precut package of
10:29
celery, but I like it because it's kind
10:31
of more green than what they had in the
10:34
other bunches there. And it's got the
10:36
flowers on them in there. So, the tops
10:39
of them, which I really like when I make
10:42
recipes with it. Now, I'm gonna be using
10:44
some of this for the tuna fish. So,
10:46
y'all stay tuned for that one. All
10:48
right. Let's grab another bag.
10:52
All right. I don't really care.
10:55
I'm not a coffee or a tea drinker, but
10:58
Thomas is. So he picked up this iced
11:00
coffee medium roast
11:03
from uh Barisimo.
11:07
So he's never tried this brand before.
11:09
So he's going to give that a try. The
11:11
whole thing was trying to go there and
11:13
get the things that we want, but get
11:15
their brands that they have there and
11:17
try them out for you guys. So you'll see
11:20
them in various recipes. Some of the
11:22
stuff anyway. All right. And then Thomas
11:24
picked up this sweet tea. It's a black
11:27
tea. and it's by Benner. Y'all ever
11:31
heard of that? It's a sixpack
11:35
of the individual bottles right there.
11:38
And then um I picked up this fourack. So
11:43
four pack threeack of these Croftton
11:46
bento boxes.
11:49
And it's it's got a a fork and a spoon
11:52
right there. But I thought these would
11:54
make good individual portions, like when
11:56
we're making a meal and we have
11:58
leftovers and we can portion it out into
12:00
individual things. I thought that was
12:01
kind of cool. I saw that I was like,
12:03
"Oh, that's interesting." So, we got
12:05
that. Let me go give this to my husband.
12:09
Everybody say hi to Thomas.
12:11
Hey,
12:12
as he's picking up a bag. All right.
12:18
And then did we pick up the stashes over
12:20
again?
12:21
I picked up two bags. Oh, he picked up
12:23
two bags. Is this different?
12:25
Same thing.
12:25
Same thing. Okay, we have another bag of
12:27
pistachios. Thought I was losing my
12:29
mind.
12:30
They're a good snack.
12:31
Like, did I not? Okay. And now I've
12:34
picked up an Aldi brand of graham
12:37
crackers.
12:39
This is not for Thomas to eat as a
12:40
snack.
12:42
He's thinking that.
12:43
Why not?
12:44
Because I'm going to be making a
12:45
cheesecake.
12:47
And this will be the bottom of the
12:48
cheesecake there. Thomas is not a
12:50
cheesecake fan, but I am. Rihanna is,
12:54
Chris is, Joseph is, Began is, my mom
12:56
is. So, I'll be like giving out
12:58
cheesecake when I make this one. It's
13:00
It's going to go quick. So, anyway, this
13:03
is Benton's graham crackers. So, we're
13:06
going to try that brand. See how how it
13:09
goes. I'll
13:10
just eat my pistachio.
13:12
Yeah.
13:15
My goodness. All right. With the
13:19
Anyway, I found almond flour crackers
13:24
with sea salt. Now, I thought this was
13:26
pretty good.
13:29
It's just a nut and seed mix and um it's
13:34
got tapioca starch in it kind of
13:36
probably to hold it together and some
13:37
seasonings like garlic powder, sea salt,
13:40
rosemary extract.
13:43
Okay, so I did Did y'all see the peanut
13:46
butter that I bought?
13:47
Yeah. Yes, y'all did the almond peanut
13:49
butter. Okay, so I thought that would be
13:50
a good snack with that and some apple
13:52
slices. Right.
13:54
All right. I picked up some linguini.
13:58
Now, I heard that the Priano
14:01
brand is a really good brand for pasta
14:05
over at Aldi. For the life of me, I
14:08
cannot figure out why I got it, but I
14:10
know there was a reason. I'll put it up
14:11
right here because I'm going to go find
14:13
that recipe that I was supposed to make
14:14
with that. You'll see it right here.
14:19
That one slipped my mind. All right, I
14:22
got Baker's Corner Classic yellow cake
14:25
mix. I wanted to try their cakes using
14:28
the the Baker's Corner here. I'm going
14:31
to make a carrot cake. Y'all excited?
14:36
No.
14:38
Who said that?
14:40
Y'all better not have said that.
14:44
I don't know whose idea they thought was
14:47
good to put carrots in a cake.
14:50
Oh, I love carrot cake. And I went there
14:52
to go get some carrots and all they had
14:55
were the little baby mini carrots. You
14:57
know, they're I'm like, "Nope, that's
15:00
not going to work." So now I have to go
15:02
get some real carrots. All right,
15:06
this is for Thomas South 40. What you
15:09
see is what you eat. pistachio mini
15:13
crunchy bars.
15:16
And what it has in it, the ingredients
15:18
are pistachios, organic brown rice
15:21
syrup, organic cane sugar, and honey.
15:25
That's it.
15:28
All right, we got those.
15:30
And
15:32
let me get this one out of the way. I
15:34
don't want to I like this. This is a
15:37
steamable zucchini blend. So it has the
15:40
yellow squash and the zucchini. That way
15:42
we have a variety of vegetables in the
15:44
house, Steve.
15:44
Oh yeah, that'll be good.
15:45
Yeah, I think that'll be really good. So
15:48
we'll have that. And then
15:52
I saw these. Thomas really loves
15:54
tortillini. Really loves tortillini. So
15:57
I thought I would make just a quick easy
15:59
soup for us. And these are herbed
16:02
chicken tortillini. So it's chicken
16:04
filled pasta. Perfect for hot soups,
16:06
cold salads, or with your favorite sauce
16:08
for a delicious entree. These look
16:11
really good. So, it's chicken broth and
16:14
veggies
16:15
in the tortillini. So, doesn't that
16:17
sound good?
16:19
Yes.
16:20
Said yes, it does. All right, you guys.
16:23
That's what we got. Hey, if you've tried
16:25
things from Aldi that you want us to
16:27
try, if we can find it, let us know. And
16:29
on our next trip to Aldi, we'll get it
16:32
and give it a try for you. All right, I
16:35
hope you enjoyed this Aldi haul. It is
16:37
the starting the third week of February
16:40
and we'll see how long this goes. But I
16:43
still have stuff to make other recipes
16:45
coming up which we're super excited
16:47
about. All right, you guys. We'll see
16:49
y'all on the next episode. Bye.
