When my onions start to go bad I dice them up and freeze them for soups and stuff like that

I have six kids. We don’t have Aldi in Maine so I drive over an hour once a month to Aldi!!! Worth it!!!

Wow! $100? That’s amazing you got so much. Groceries in Canada are off the charts!

Hi Kristen, what a great feeling to have your kitchen cupboards and fridge stocked with healthy food. You are an amazing shopper. Loved seeing your grocery haul this week! Happy birthday Hoffman girls 🩷🩷🩷 enjoy your party.

I sure hope you are all okay after those tornados hit Elkhorn and the Omaha area. Praying for all involved.

I started shopping at Aldi in June 2007 when I bought a ton of fruit for my daughter’s High School graduation party. I’ve been shopping there since that day!

For those who do not know, ALDI’s brats are made by Klements Sausage Company. My son in law works there. I am not sure how big brats go over in other states but they are a big summer hit here in Wisconsin.

It's wonderful that your girls love snacking on fruit. You've inspired me to make a better attempt at healthy eating!

You are so blessed to have an Aldi store close by. We don't have any in the state of WA. I'm praying that they will bring one soon to Eastern WA. I did email the company to request a store where I live. The other day I went to Trader Joe's and I spent $81 on 2 bags of groceries. You got a lot of great things.

Aldi is my #1 place to shop. Took my husband about 6/7 months ago for the first time and his mind was blown. He couldn't believe the savings. My #1 item is chicken. It's NEVER slimy and you can't beat the price anywhere that I've seen. There are so many Aldi branded items that we love more than the name brand. You can go to my car at any time and there is always a quarter in the door handle, gotta always have that "Aldi quarter". Of course, I have to replace it a lot because my daughter loves to "pay it forward" and give our cart to someone so they don't have to use their quarter ❤

I used to shop at Aldi when my kids were still at home. I haven’t been there in years. I had no idea they were selling all that organic stuff. I will definitely be back! You got a crazy deal that was a lot of. I’m looking forward to shopping at Aldi again. Thank you for the info Kristen!

My husband used to be a district manager for Aldi, and he said that most of the Aldi brand stuff is the exact same as the name brand. Like, if you buy Aldi frosted flakes, the same cereal goes in the name.brand boxes at the factory, then they switch over to the Aldi boxes. Their ketchup is just Hunt's, their cheese crackers are Cheez Nips, etc.

You’re doing a great job balancing healthy food choices that fit your budget. I love Aldi too and want to try the Coconut Cacao now 😁

Aldi is the best! Their organic grass fed ground beef is good.

Hi, my husband and I have shopped there for YEARS! It is easy to shop. is clean and fresh produce is always beautiful. No coupons, self-bagging, and smaller selection of items all add to lower costs, I'm sure. We love the crab cakes, shrimp, filets wrapped in bacon, egg rolls, chicken salad with cranberries. LOVE,LOVE Aldi !

I usually cut my onion & freeze them when I know I can’t use them all fresh! So good to cook for soup or sauces :) ❤

Kristen, I pray you did not experience any of those terrible storms today in the Midwest. 😊❤😊🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏😊❤️😊

Would love you to share your chicken Parmesan recipe

Weekly Aldi shopper here. Bring your own bags. I use canvas tote bags, that I bought secondhand and that last for years because of their durability. I keep several in my car and they can carry anything. I agree: I chop onions that are getting close to their end and freeze in a zip-lock bag for soups, casseroles, etc. The best aspect about Aldi for me, other than the lower prices, is their small footprint. I know where everything is in their store and I can shop, pay, be in and out in very little time, as opposed to huge supermarkets where I wander, looking at 2 dozen options of one item. I only buy the Aldi store brand. But even Aldi's prices have gone up.

I would be lost without our Aldi store. Besides having great prices they have great Quality items. There is so many things that they carry for holidays and seasonal plants. As an older person it is a blessing to find most of the things i need in one place. the employees are always very nice and helpful also.

I love Aldi also their produce is very well priced.

In the Netherlands it i😅s custom to bring your own reusable grocerybags. Not only for Aldi, but for all grocerystores.

I commend you on your food choices. You have stayed away from processed food for the most part. An emphasis on fruits and veggies is so important. I also note that you said your children mostly snack on fruit, or raisins between meals. In my opinion children consume far too many snacks these days..goldfish, granola bars, cookies, rollups, etc. Three well balanced meals a day and fruit between meals is providing your family with excellent nutrition. BTW, there is nothing better than Irish butter. In Ireland the cows are only grass fed.

These are almost the same things we buy weekly! I would love to see a video of “what we eat in a week” !

That's great that you like RED Peppers. They actually have MORE Vitamin C than an orange and LESS sugar. So yummy with hummus~ Oh and I love dipping veggies or apples in pumpkin dip ( I have no qualms about eating pumpkin year round. I buy the organic canned pumpkin puree. Mix some with pure natural pb, ground cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice, a little sweetener of your choice and a little course sea salt.

My Aldi is 3 blocks from my house ♥️ I do buy many of the things you bought minus the organic. My husband and I are in our late Sixties we eat pretty traditional foods. The foods we’ve been eating our whole lives. I love their bagged Avocados, romaine lettuce, Cherub tomatoes (at our store they do have brand names) all of their cheeses. I buy their fresh chicken and thin pork chops. I love their roaster red pepper hummus, I can go on and on about their groceries but my comment would be many paragraphs so I’ll stop here. ❤

Try adding a scoop protein powder to your plain Greek yogurt and mix well. It sweetens it and adds more protein!

I like the potatoes hanging good idea easy to grab and the kitchen is the cooking spot

Just take the boxes to aldi when you shop😊

Hey Kristen! I thought I’d share this with you, I saw in one of your videos you mentioning that you keep getting sick. So ever since I’ve moved into my house four years ago, I have been constantly sick. I did an allergy test a couple of days ago and found out that I am highly allergic to dust mites and our air ducts are filled with so much dust , we now have to get them replaced since they’re in too bad of shape to have cleaned. Apparently it’s more common of an allergy than people think so just throwing it out there! Love your videos!! Can’t wait for the next one 💜💜

I go to Aldis too. Can't beat there produce. Enjoy your channel

This is how my husband and I eat too. I cant wait to get our garden going we love fresh produce

Good buy on the Red Berry cereal ! I find it usually has MORE strawberries than name brand Red Berry does !

I also am on a journey of choosing better foods for my family. All the stuff thats been coming to light about our food is apalling! I try to buy the best for the best price all while balancing my budget. Its all about balance! I also LOVED! How you decorate with real food! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

From Texas, FRY or bake your taco shells, for sure. I fry ours in organic coconut oil from HEB . Does your cilantro last pretty long? I've been using a tip I saw, make a plastic bag tent over it and secure with rubber band. ( mini greenhouse)

I love Aldi !! I get my meat at a couple other places like Sam’s Club and a local butcher but I do like several meats that Aldi has as well!! It’s a smaller store so I spend less time wandering around and looking and they have everything we need!!!

We love Aldi's! They not only have great prices, but their "Aldi finds" are pretty amazing too. It is a fun place to shop!

Hi! Love this video, Bananas need to kept away from citrus, also I slice or dice onions before they go bad.

I have to keep fruit in the fridge and also the bread or else things go bad. I had to take savings out to finish out the month for food this last month. I am in SoCal. Thanks, old Joe for all this expense in everything.

I have been shopping there for over 30 years! thanks for sharing

In the beginning, you mentioned they have no brand names, but the locations I've shopped at in Omaha/Bellevue have items that are brand names. I wonder if it varies based on location? They have great prices & the aisle with homegoods, kitchen gadgets, etc, never disappoints! And we almost always splurge & get some of the German candy!!!

I have an Aldi down the street and in have never gone, here in the south most everyone goes to Publix a huge food chain. I may now have to check them out. Thanks for sharing and giving me a new place to shop. Have a blessed week❤🙏🏻

I’m a big Aldi fan! My husband is too and will only shop there! I’m a big baker, especially during the holidays! I especially love to shop there during the holidays because they have many “specialty” items that are only sold at that time of the year.

CAW-CAW from the aisle of shame!! I absolutely love Aldi ❤️

Love Aldis but sadly, closest one is 40 miles away but worth the trip. Thanks Kristen for the helpful tips. I am super impressed that you have taught your family to choose healthy over convenient or flashy. My grands are among the chicken nugget generation. I've tried to keep healthy options for their visits but isn't making much progress.

I love the Aldi’s cereal with red berries. It’s very tasty and a lot cheaper than Walmart. A lot of times I will have it at night before bed.

We have an Aldi just a mile away, my husband rides his bike there and picks up whatever we need. It is ike a neighborhood store with good prices and produce.

Since you live in Iowa I would highly recommend buying 1/2 cow from a local farmer and putting it in a deep freeze. It saves money and you will get better quality than Sam’s. It took me years to do this and my only regret is that I didn’t start earlier.

This was really interesting, I'm from the UK and we shop at Aldi every week. Some of the items are very different to what we can buy and some of the size of products are much bigger at your Aldi. Xx

It would be a good idea to fill your sink with cool water and a little vinegar to was all the fruit, since it is out for eating. We have to accept everything we eat has pesticides on them now.

We love Aldis, too. Many of the items you got today, we get. There's a really good pineapple salsa that is really good. It's a shorter jar than you had with a yellow lid.

Cut up/dice up the onions, seal wwell, and freeze. Good for soups or mix with hamburger for sauces, meatloaf, etc. When lemon and limes start aging out, squeeze the juice out of the fruits and freeze it.

💛 can I just say I love your neighborhood walks, such pretty scenery 🐶

I LOVE ALDI!! 🥰💓

Hey Kristen I heard that a tornado had touched down near Omaha Nebraska I'm just checking on you prayers sent your way for safe surroundings for your family and prayers for any others out there that may need them ✝️🤍🙏

By keeping your fruits & veggies on the counters & such, do you get those little gnats or fruit flies? Also, don't throw your wilted herbs away. Blend them together with your onions & other herbs to make a green seasoning. It can be used on veggies, meats. I make up a batch, put it in ice trays & then into freezer bags.

You’ve inspired me to shop at Aldi’s. Can you share your ceviche recipe? Blessings to you and your precious family.

I love Aldi too!!🥰

Love this content ♥️♥️🌻

My family shops almost exclusively at aldi for groceries and we love it too. Love the marinara sauce you purchased (I used to make my own). My daughter's school requests she bring a snack also and for whatever reason I always thought it meant it had to be prepackaged. It took me a while to realize that wasn't a requirement at her school since it wasn't shared so now she mostly takes fruit with a prepackaged snack thrown in every once in a while. Saves us even more plus it's healthier

HAPPY SUNDAY Kristen, family, and fur baby. Thanks for the grocery haul and your reasons you buy what you buy. I like Aldi too. I love your outfit. STTB

Cilantro water is so refreshing.

Love the way you decorate with your food ❤❤❤

Wow! Great haul! I love Aldi, too. You can't beat their prices!

I love ALDI hummus also

“Y’all”! lol love it!!

LOVE Aldi....shop there every week and only go to the other stores to get what Aldi doesnt have. Produce is great and prices the best and lovely staff... we know some by name. My guilty pleasure is their garlic stuffed olives!

Love love love ALDI!!!

I love your videos! Thank you for sharing your Aldi haul.

My 10 year old son loves the classic Hummus.

I absolutely love Aldi! ❤️

FIRED roasted YES, MORE flavor! Heavy whipping is GOOD, no sugar. Whole fat is going to keep you more satiated than non fat anything. Grocery prices are OUT RAGIOUS, so when it comes to organic, we too have ot pick and choose.

Love Aldi!!

This is the first Aldi haul that has made me want to shop at Aldi. Way to go! Also my son just heard you say applesauce and he came over to ask for some 😂

Also great for misc items. Sometimes I find great finds for home decor too👍! Thanks for sharing your haul. Have an awesome week🌸

I love your videos, you aint here please us this is your family you buy for I just love that your so honest with it all. Keep the videos coming.❤

I go to Aldi to stock up, love their fresh produce, and low all around prices.

You did good!!

We pay attention to food labels and yes making better choices does save money and important for health. Great haul.

Produce looks fantastic there. Can't believe the prices too, so good.

LOVE plain organic whole milk Greek yogurt. Your sweet friend Amy Fritz turned me on to adding a little smooth pb and a tsp of baking cacao powder with just a drizzle of pure maple syrup. SO GOOD! Taste like chocolate pudding! * for "healthy ice cream, try whipping up pure havy cream with frozen berries.

Great ideas and tips 🥰 thank you for sharing

That was fun🥳 have a good week!

Love, love Aldi. My favorite thing is their prices. Really helps with my budget.

Great Haul

I have the Buydeem toaster and tea kettle in like a sea foam blue/green color. So pretty, I love them and never had any problems with them.

I diced my onions and freeze them and just pull them out when I need some .

I do not have an Aldi anywhere near me, unfortunately, but always purchase supermarket brand foods (unless the famous brands are on special and work out cheaper!) I am sure the big named companies make it for them anyway! Here where I live in Canada, your are charged for brown paper bags (plastic have been banned) so a lot of shoppers take reusable ones.

When I have onions going bad I chop them up and put them in a freezer bag and freeze them. When I make dishes like soup or chili they are perfect to add to recipe. Great grocery haul video! Love Aldi!

I love Aldi! I used to go every week but I have been slacking. I really need to get back at it.

I now will have to go and try it!!!! Never have been in the store !!!!

Thank you for taking us grocery shopping with you. It was fun.🥰🥰

Great food haul ❤

Thanks for sharing.

Agree Aldi is affordable for those of us who want to save money and a bit financially challenged

Honey I enjoyed your haul. Blessings

Good tip on the sweet potatoes which we go through lots and the few potatoes we eat, nice to keep a small bag in. I would like to know where I can purchase them ,I have never seen them. Please! where can I purchase them. You’re so much fun to watch Kristen!

This might be my favorite video of yours yet! I've shopped Aldi for years yet still some great new info provided. Thanks for sharing!

Loved this video!! I have been trying to go to aldis more. Their fruits and veggies are awesome!!

My favorite right now are their cosmic crisp apples.
