Welcome back everyone. Of course, Thomas
0:03
and I went to Aldi today because Thomas
0:05
wanted to go get his cottage cheese. He
0:08
loves their brand of cottage cheese, but
0:10
I needed to get a lot more. Also, I want
0:13
to thank my friend Tanya for providing
0:16
some of my list today cuz she was
0:18
showing me a recipe and I'm like, I'm
0:20
writing it down. So, I was able to get
0:22
some stuff from there to make that
0:24
recipe. Y'all will see that later. It
0:26
involves a crockot and some cube steak.
0:29
All right, you guys. Here's my receipt.
0:32
We spent $13024.
0:37
Let's check it out. We're going to start
0:39
with the frozen and the refrigerated
0:40
items so we can go ahead and get those
0:42
put up because they've been hanging out
0:43
for a little bit. Now, I saw these and I
0:47
had to go give these a try. These are
0:49
called cheese fries.
0:53
Halloween style cheese sticks. I don't
0:56
know, but they're really good. Perfect
0:58
for grilling or frying. They're gluten
1:00
free and keto friendly. So, if you're
1:04
interested, oh, I can't wait to try
1:06
these. Never had them before. So, we'll
1:10
try those. Got some whipped topping
1:13
because I've been making a lot of
1:15
desserts throughout the summertime, ice
1:17
box desserts and that, and we use Cool
1:20
Whip sometimes, but I wanted to try all
1:23
these brands. have never tried their
1:26
Friendly Farms whipped topping. I have a
1:29
recipe for a cake that's coming out
1:31
really soon and I'm going to be using
1:34
this for it. If y'all tried this, let me
1:38
know what you think.
1:41
Next, we got some garlic parmesan
1:45
broccoli bites.
1:47
Those look really yummy. There's a sauce
1:50
packet included.
1:52
So, we're going to give those a try.
1:55
They look really delicious.
1:58
And then, you know, we have a Culver's
2:01
here. And when Thomas and I go and get a
2:03
hamburger from there, we get the cheese
2:06
curds.
2:08
I want to make my own hamburgers here to
2:10
grill them here and do our own fries.
2:13
But, I found these cheese curds.
2:17
Thomas is excited about them, aren't
2:18
you? I am.
2:19
>> He loves cheese curds, too. We first
2:23
knew about cheese curds in Indiana.
2:26
That's where Thomas is from. And when we
2:27
visited his dad one year, they took us
2:29
to Culver's our very first time there.
2:32
And we got cheese curds and we fell in
2:34
love, didn't we?
2:35
>> We did.
2:36
>> We did. There we go. All right. Boring.
2:41
Three pepper and onion blend. I like
2:43
this for fajitas. One sheet pan fajitas.
2:46
Those are so good. Really, y'all, it's
2:49
so easy to make. Go check out my recipe
2:51
for that. And we like to dice these up
2:54
and just put them into eggs in the
2:56
morning. Yum. Bulk up your eggs in the
3:00
morning. We do with everything.
3:04
I got this riced cauliflower with garlic
3:08
and herbs in it. I do like a good riced
3:11
cauliflower side dish. So, I was going
3:13
to try this out right here. It's only 20
3:16
calories and pretty much zero all the
3:20
way down the line on the nutritional
3:22
facts and four grams of carb. Now,
3:25
that's for 3/4 of a cup. All right,
3:28
we're going to put this up and then
3:30
we're going to come right back. Now,
3:32
instead of skimming through this receipt
3:34
for every item to give you the price,
3:36
you'll notice that the prices are up
3:38
above either here or here. And y'all can
3:41
estimate what you think in your area
3:44
versus what I'm paying for Aldi here in
3:47
the Katy, Texas location. That's where
3:50
we're at. All right, next bag.
3:54
I do a lot of low carb and y'all know
3:56
that. So that's why you don't see all
3:58
the, you know, good stuff in the middle
4:00
of the store, but we tend to shop on the
4:02
perimeter of the store and add some
4:04
inside, you know, when we can. Not
4:08
totally no carb, but we do like to have
4:11
a little fun while we're eating.
4:15
All right, you guys. I got this Knock
4:16
Your Sprouts Off bread. We've never
4:19
tried this one before, but we have had
4:23
uh something similar to this. This is
4:24
Simply Nature, and it looked really good
4:28
right here.
4:30
And then we got some sourdough bread. I
4:33
love the sourdough bread. have a little
4:35
piece of this with some eggs in the
4:37
morning.
4:38
>> And I'm making a chicken dish tonight
4:41
and it's a bake, but the leftovers are
4:44
going to be made into a sandwich. And
4:46
I'll tell y'all that.
4:49
>> I like a good sandwich.
4:51
>> I love Aldi's right here. Avocado oil,
4:54
sea salt, kettle cooked potato chips.
4:57
Have y'all seen the ingredients? It's
4:59
crazy. Potatoes, avocado oil, and sea
5:03
salt. That's it.
5:05
>> The way it should be.
5:06
>> One of my favorite snacks. Yeah. We
5:09
don't get on any of that other stuff
5:10
anymore. No. Nope. Nope. Other than
5:13
Thomas. Now, look what he did.
5:16
>> I got to have my graham crackers.
5:18
>> He loves his graham crackers. He likes
5:20
them from Aldi. These are the Bentons.
5:23
Now, I was telling him that I needed
5:25
some for my I'm going to be making some
5:27
s'more cookies for y'all. And I told him
5:31
that I needed some of these for that.
5:32
He's like, "We're getting a second box."
5:35
Because he's not sharing.
5:37
>> No, I'm not.
5:40
>> These make good these make good pie
5:42
crust also with some butter and a little
5:44
bit of sugar and mix it up and put it in
5:46
your pie plate. Yeah. All right. I
5:48
needed a cake mix cuz I'm going to be
5:51
making the cookie batter for the s'more
5:55
cookies using cake mix. Y'all check it
5:58
out. Okay. Check that one out.
6:01
All right, I needed some more
6:03
pistachios.
6:05
And these are roasted with sea salt. I'd
6:09
love to sit in front of the TV cracking
6:11
these open and having the pistachios.
6:14
Y'all be careful, though. All right.
6:16
Measure them out before you do that.
6:18
You'll be sitting there eating a whole
6:19
bag before you know it.
6:20
>> That bag.
6:22
>> You'll like, "What just happened?" Yeah,
6:24
because it's like 170 calories per
6:26
serving, which is a quarter cup. So,
6:32
be careful with that.
6:35
I needed some brown sugar. So, there we
6:39
go. Baker's Corner. That's their brand.
6:42
And is that what this cake is, too? Oh,
6:46
don't y'all remember that their cake mix
6:48
is Baker's Corner? Well, anyway, this is
6:52
Aldi, and it's I didn't even realize
6:54
that was gluten-free cake mix.
6:56
>> What?
6:57
>> But you know what? We're going to give
6:58
it a try anyway when we make the
7:00
cookies. That'll
7:01
>> be interesting.
7:01
>> Maybe it'll make the cookies better for
7:04
you.
7:06
>> We'll find out though when I do that
7:08
video for you guys.
7:10
All right, we got some almonds roasted
7:13
with sea salt. Nice delicious snack to
7:18
have.
7:19
>> I ate that whole bag.
7:22
>> I love them.
7:23
>> Measure it out, you guys. It's all about
7:26
portion control. It It really is.
7:29
>> It sucks, but it is.
7:31
>> I've missed my olives. I had to go get a
7:33
can of olives. This is Tuscan Garden
7:37
olives. Now, I've had these before, and
7:39
they taste just like the Lindsay's
7:41
olives, so I don't miss those at all.
7:43
But there we go. Right from Right from
7:45
Aldi.
7:49
It's a joy to shop at Aldi. It was like
7:51
really quiet in there today.
7:52
>> It was It was really nice. It was
7:55
>> I wish they were a little closer.
7:57
>> Yeah, it's a drive for about 15 minute
7:59
drive for us. Not bad.
8:02
All right, we got Priano.
8:04
This is extra virgin olive oil squeezy.
8:09
>> So, I could just squeeze
8:12
and not pour out. All right. I saw that.
8:14
I was like, "Wow, that's pretty cool."
8:16
We need
8:17
>> what the quality of the olive oil is.
8:20
We'll find out.
8:21
>> We will. All right, you guys. We needed
8:24
some honey. The problem is is that we
8:27
normally get our honey from our local
8:30
farmers market and we haven't been able
8:33
to find it there and we've been
8:35
traveling
8:36
pretty far in Texas to to find our honey
8:41
that's localized. So, we got this uh
8:44
specialty selected
8:47
raw honey to use until we find our honey
8:51
that we like. So,
8:55
we'll try that. But we do need honey for
8:58
stir fries. All right, you guys. I got
9:01
some tomato ketchup. I do have ketchup,
9:04
but it's sugar-free ketchup. And I'm
9:08
making pasties for Rihanna, her
9:12
boyfriend Chris, and for Thomas, my
9:14
husband.
9:15
>> You notice I was last.
9:18
And Thomas is like, there's no way he's
9:21
gonna put sugar-free ketchup on that
9:22
pasti. So anyway, but I make the
9:26
pasties. I'll do a video on it hopefully
9:28
this at the end of this week for you
9:29
guys. So y'all will see them. All right,
9:33
that bag number two is out of here. I'm
9:36
going to come back with another bag. I
9:38
just figured out that I still have two
9:39
bags of refrigerated stuff, so I got to
9:42
get to those right now. We've got some
9:46
turkey pepperoni. I switched over to
9:48
this because it's just healthier for
9:50
you. But I like to put mozzarella on a
9:53
sheet pan and little globs and then put
9:55
some pepperoni on it and bake it. Makes
9:57
the most delicious turkey pepperoni
10:00
chips. Yeah. Really delicious. And if
10:03
you want to put a little dab of some
10:06
like marinara sauce on there, taste just
10:08
like a pizza. All right, I got some
10:11
bacon cuz I got to make another broccoli
10:14
cauliflower salad. And y'all will see
10:17
that coming up because we're gonna have
10:19
that with the pasties this weekend. So,
10:21
I gotta cook up some more bacon. So,
10:24
this is the Appleton Farms center cut
10:27
bacon smoked. So, we got that. Now, we
10:31
picked up some Amy Lou caramelized
10:34
onion, white cheddar, and red peppers
10:37
chicken sausages. I picked up one and
10:40
then looked at the back label and we put
10:42
it back.
10:43
>> Mhm.
10:44
>> This one was a lot better. So, I'm
10:46
hoping the flavors will taste really
10:48
delicious.
10:51
All right. And then we've got some
10:53
chicken. I'm making a chicken dish
10:55
tonight. You will see that coming out
10:57
here soon. So, I needed to get some thin
11:01
cut chicken. So, we got some of that
11:03
boneless, skinless chicken breast. This
11:05
was oneb 36.
11:09
All right. This is what my friend Tanya
11:11
had me pick it up.
11:13
She showed me this recipe. It was a
11:15
video actually and I'm like, "Oh my
11:17
gosh, I need to make this this and a
11:19
stick of butter and some other things."
11:21
This is a crockot recipe. I love cube
11:24
steaks, doing those in the crock pot
11:27
because they make them so tender and
11:29
delicious and you don't have to do a lot
11:31
of work. So anyway, here we go. Cube
11:34
steaks right here. And this was
11:39
one pound 35. There we go. All right.
11:43
Put this up and come back with the other
11:45
refrigerated bag.
11:50
>> You must have packed that one.
11:52
>> Leave the heaviest bag to be the one
11:54
with all the vegetables in it. I still
11:56
have another bag.
11:59
Oh, this was the heaviest one though.
12:01
Red onions.
12:03
Lots of recipes for that.
12:07
Plus, I like to dice up red onion with
12:10
bell pepper for eggs in the morning.
12:13
with
12:16
spinach.
12:17
But I got other recipes to put all this
12:19
stuff into also. We're trying to keep it
12:22
so fresh, you guys. So fresh and
12:25
delicious.
12:28
That was three bell peppers, by the way,
12:31
the green ones.
12:32
And this is little salad bar spinach.
12:37
I'm trying to let y'all know what the
12:38
brands are so you know.
12:40
All right, we got this big head of
12:44
cabbage because I always have to have my
12:46
cabbage in the refrigerator. There's so
12:48
many recipes to use for this. Easy
12:50
recipes that you can just throw together
12:52
at night or even just sauté up this with
12:55
your meal. I love cabbage. Love it. Love
12:59
it. Love it. Got some cucumbers to go
13:03
with my olives and everything into my
13:05
salads. We've already got the salad mix.
13:07
So, these are the Starlight Garden Fresh
13:11
Mini CES. That's what they call. CES.
13:16
And there's like five of them in here.
13:21
And then we got some zucchini.
13:26
Oh my gosh, I love making zucchini
13:28
boats. They're so easy to make, so
13:30
delicious. But one of these is going to
13:31
go into my crock pot dish, if you can
13:33
believe that. You won't even know it's
13:35
in there. but it's going to absorb all
13:37
the flavors. It kind of takes the place
13:40
of the mushrooms that go into that dish
13:43
and you can replace zucchini with
13:46
mushrooms.
13:48
Gives you that same kind of texture a
13:49
little bit. I like that. All right, we
13:53
got some pitted dates. I'm going to try
13:55
my hand at these, you guys. Thomas loves
13:58
dates.
13:59
>> Yes, I do.
14:01
>> I just I think it's just what they are
14:03
as to why I won't try them. But um as I
14:06
was mosing around Tik Tok last night,
14:09
somebody was eating pitted dates with
14:11
peanut butter.
14:13
I'm going to give that a try. I think
14:16
that might get me to eat some dates.
14:19
>> Dates are good for you.
14:20
>> Maybe it's they're sweet so that it'll
14:22
be like peanut butter and jelly, right?
14:24
What do you think? If y'all had dates
14:25
before, let me know what you do with
14:27
them.
14:28
>> Eat them.
14:29
>> Eat them.
14:31
Cauliflower. This is to go with my
14:33
cauliflower broccoli salad that I'm
14:36
going to be making with the pasties this
14:38
coming weekend. I've already got the
14:40
broccoli. I just needed to get the
14:42
cauliflower. Y'all, this was hidden.
14:44
>> Yes, it was.
14:45
>> It was hidden. It was like in a box. And
14:48
then there was another box of cucumbers
14:50
on top of it. And I saw a little white
14:53
right there. I'm like, is that a
14:54
cauliflower?
14:55
>> It was the only one.
14:57
>> Thomas lifted that box up and there it
14:59
was. And he looks amazing. I think
15:02
somebody was trying to save it.
15:04
>> Do you think so?
15:05
>> I do.
15:06
>> I think so. All right, we're going to
15:07
put this up. Oh, we got another bag.
15:11
It's in here.
15:14
>> Friendly Farms cottage cheese. This is
15:18
the regular small curd. Thomas is happy.
15:23
>> I love it.
15:24
>> He loves the cottage cheese. Y'all ever
15:27
put it in eggs? Oh, there's something
15:30
else I want to try with that and that is
15:32
the cottage cheese and eggs where you
15:34
make chaffles. Y'all ever heard of that?
15:37
All right,
15:39
we've heard of them but never made them
15:41
before. So, we want to make them. Put
15:42
them in a little waffle maker and make
15:44
little waffles with it.
15:46
>> All right, that is This one anyway is a
15:49
lot better than the daisies that we get
15:52
sometimes because, you know, that's
15:54
where we're at. But they have the best.
15:57
All right, we got Parmesan cheese,
16:00
guys. Honestly, shred your own. I was
16:02
getting the little container from Aldi,
16:05
the, you know, the plastic one. It's got
16:07
the shredded parmesan in it, and I was
16:10
looking at the back of it, and it said
16:12
all of these ingredients added for
16:14
caking.
16:16
It's like, no.
16:17
>> Had sugar in it, too.
16:18
>> Yeah. And you know what? It was less. It
16:21
costed less than this right here. But
16:23
y'all, this is the real stuff. Grate
16:26
your own. Grate your own. It's like the
16:30
mozzarella cheese that I'm going to be
16:31
using for my bake tonight. It's a
16:33
chicken bake and I'm gonna be using
16:35
mozzarella. So, I'm going to be
16:36
shredding my own my own mozzarella. This
16:40
is Happy Farms.
16:42
>> He's got a cow on the
16:45
>> Do y'all see that cow?
16:49
All right. I picked me up a drink while
16:51
I was there. I wanted to try this Poppy
16:53
because y'all, I haven't had soda.
16:55
Thomas and I both quit soda last year in
16:57
July. We just like wiped it out. And
17:01
this is a prebiotic soda. And so, um, we
17:05
we split things like this because we
17:07
don't want to drink the whole thing
17:08
because of what's in it. But this was
17:10
the best of the best anyway. So, we're
17:13
going to try that. It's the orange
17:14
flavor.
17:16
And I got diced up tomatoes by Happy
17:20
Harvest. We're going to try their brand.
17:23
And we've got I needed just to get some
17:25
diced tomatoes with the green chilies.
17:27
We got these right here by Kasa Mamita.
17:30
Those are really good.
17:32
>> Kasa Mita.
17:34
>> I needed some Italian seasoning. That's
17:36
for my bake tonight. Also, I was running
17:38
out. I was also looking for a pesto
17:42
spread or some pesto that I could put
17:45
into some pasta because I have some u
17:49
lentil pasta.
17:51
>> Yeah. So, the pasta is made out of
17:53
lentil, and I wanted to try it, but I
17:56
wanted to put in some pesto with it
17:58
instead of like the tomato sauce. So,
18:00
we're going to give this a try right
18:01
here. It's by Priano.
18:04
And then we've got some I was looking
18:07
for some guacamole and I found this one,
18:09
which is an avocado verde. It's avocados
18:12
with tomatillo, onion, cilantro, and
18:15
jalapeno pepper.
18:17
>> It sounds so good. All right, you guys.
18:21
What was your favorite? Tell me. $130.
18:24
Was it worth it? Wow. I was shocked at
18:26
the register. I'm like, that's it?
18:28
$13024.
18:31
All right, y'all. Here it is. So, we'll
18:34
see you on the next episode. I hope you
18:36
