I have been a die-hard Aldi shopper for 30+ years. I agree with most of your “don’t buys”. But some of those we don’t buy at all. (Protien bars. Soda water. Etc) HOWEVER: the “aisle of shame” CAN be amazing. I have found some great steals there before. I just bought the little step-stool seat/storage cube for my daughter’s dorm there: HALF the price of Amazon. You just have to keep your minimalist mindset in that aisle. Oh, their 3-wick candles are great! So much better priced than Bath&Body Works. They have a cult-like following. As Christine said: Aldi is a fabulous place to do you basic weekly staples. I do the vast majority of my family’s grocery shopping at Aldi. Now Dawn, please do a “what to buy at Aldi” video. Take us shopping with you and show us what you DO buy at Aldi. If you are ever in Chicagoland, I’ll go with you! We can be “Dawn Squared”! 😊❤😂

Want to know the beginning of aldi? Aldi is a German company that was brought to America in the late 70s by a business man named Mr. Neely . He was a wonderful man, the father of one of my good friends. It was started in Burlington, Iowa. He had invited the mayor and city dignitaries to the grand opening. He had rented a store front in a strip mall next to a Kmart. The morning of the grand opening they opened the front doors at 9 and no one came. No one came for 1 1/2 hours! Finally the door opened and a little old man came in. He was bent over walking with a cane. They were all so excited and ran up to him congratulating him on being the first customer at the new aldi store. He stopped, looked up and said, "This ain't Kmart?" And walked out 😂😂😂 True story. Mr. Neely told me himself.

The reason some produce is better than others is because you need to be buying what is in season. If you buy off season produce it’s not going to be as good or last as long. Like right now melons are in season, in the fall apples are amazing.

When they were out of stock at Aldi, I bought some Reese’s and they weren’t nearly as good as Aldi’s. I think the Aldi ones have more chocolate and the Reese’s may be using more peanut butter filling if it’s cheaper than the chocolate because I used to really like Reese’s.

Love this!! I’ve found that Aldi really varies in price and quality across the country. For me in Indiana, if I’m thinking about buying a name brand thing at Aldi I look the item up in my Meijer app (which shows the same prices I’d pay in store), and the name brands are typically $0.50+ cheaper at Aldi. Aldi and Meijer are the two groceries nearest my house, so they’re pretty much the only places I do my grocery shopping 😅 ETA: I love Aldi’a GF take and bake pizzas ❤ Also, any German food items are 100% worth it at Aldi. They’re usually cheap enough it doesn’t matter, but the German items like chocolate and brats are the best.

Love your channel fellow Minnesota Mama! Here’s a little tip… the reason apples are squishy right now is because all apples are harvested in the fall in the US so all apples that you are eating during the summer were harvested 10 months ago. They are way out of season. Wait a few months and you’ll start seeing signs that say “new crop” meaning picked this year! (And then last years extra will go on sale and are great for baking or sauce!)

Aldi is the Trader Joe’s of my town…for now. We usually buy only the string cheese, cuz I can’t stand any other brand, and they have tidiculously good prices on yummy ribeye steaks, and ground beef…so much cheaper than anywhere else, rxcept buying my own cow. Their chicken usually beats Christine’s sale hauls for chicken, too. Most stuff there IS convenience store prices, though.

I live in Garland, TX (Dallas metroplex). I love my Aldi, generally buy most of my groceries from there, and then Walmart for the rest. Price wise it saves me, and I've found the quality to be good. The chips are especially well priced! I do not like their bananas. Kroger for big sales and digital coupon items, good stock up place. Enjoyed seeing y'all together!

Christine going to 12 different stores is okay. 😁 It gives her experience and information which is all good and makes her a professional. 😁 And she will do it less and less as her expertise is sharpened. It is always good to learn. LoL 😂 I’m a fan of both of these women. ❤️ Thanks for the video! 🤩

The Pure and Simple bars for $4.65 are a good deal for those who eat Lara Bars. Same ingredients as Lara Bars, but Lara bars are $6.98 at Walmart (where I live in WI). Also, they may have what is considered more sugar than other bars, but it comes from fruit and dates, clean ingredients. I mean, you guys are buying the peanut butter cups lol😂

Larabars and off brand versions tend to be super allergen friendly (aside from nuts) because of the simple and short ingredient list!

A tip for storing berries of all kinds, take a mason jar, and put the berries in directly from the farm or store or point of purchase. you wash them when you go to use them and they will easily last two weeks or more in the jars with lids in the fridge. this tip came from one of our local berry farmers!

The one thing in the personal care section that is a good price is their version of flonase and omeprazole. We use both in our house and that price is the best in our area. And we like the t.p. that comes in the red pack. I think it's called super strong. It lasts, isn't linty and doesn't pill or roll, like some cheep versions.

I've found Walmart has the best prices for baby products and most items I shop for. Wholesale clubs really get you with the membership prices and buying things in bulk that you might not otherwise. I stand behind not using a big-box store based on having a tight budget and only wanting to buy necessities in bulk. If you have a Meijer near you, they tend to have the best prices if you use the rewards program and hunt for digital coupons on their app/site
