Aldi stuff is majority name brand I use to work at a factory that would just switch out packaging. that’s the day I stoped spending so much money on name brand

Craig (and momdre-Terry).. you're going to have to tell me how your magical powers got me to give up watching one of my favorite tv shows to watch the two of you shop for chips, carrots and cauliflower lol (both videos haha) hugs & happy shopping, eating and chocolating!

I could watch your videos all day and thats exactly what I plan to do

I love how you and your mom ask people for permission to video tape them. It's so considerate! Keep being awesome, I love watching you guys!

My son and I have a similar relationship. We both love puns and corny jokes. I go out of my way to find them to share with him.

Vegan for the animals, the planet and your health ! Aldis is cool

Why do I love watching you two grocery shop?!? Lol Oh yeah, cuz you have great senses of humor and I adore all of you, even Max!! Sending positive vibes to the entire Hercules Fam!!! 😋😄😎💖

I am literally not even vegan and I have binge-watched so many of your videos today..

I subscribed to you when you had under 5,000! And that wasn't even long ago! Crazy how much your channel has grown! Good for you!!

Your mom is great! I love her sense of humor.

Makes my day watching you guys either here or on the Hercules channel 😂🇬🇧awesome sauce 🇬🇧

Love watching you and Terry shopping! So funny 😂 x

Having a marathon of all your vids! You made me hungry so I had to go to the shop, home now and eating :)

I stocked on Aldi blueberries this week. they were so sweet it tasted like spring on a frigid day. I grow purple carrots in garden.

Your mom is hilarious lol and all those fruit and veggies are heaven

You mom is so pretty! Just thought I'd point that out. :) Your whole fam seems so awesome and it's cool everyone's a vegan.

I’m getting over the flu and binge watching your videos!! I love it

I haven't been to an Aldi store since I was a teenager! I used to shop their with my mom when we lived in Ohio, great prices. Your mom is awesome ❤️

He looks like bj novak from the office

Fun fact (I am a horticulture major and I just took a class over pesticide safety and so on) organic fruits and vegetables still use pesticides, just a different ones. They are formulated slightly different, and they have to be approved by the USDA

I went to Aldi today to try your $30/week vegan challenge and spent $20.77! Also, I got the pineapple salsa - to die for!! Thanks for sharing your life with the interwebs!

Craig where do you work? Also do you ever work at the candy shop officially or do you just help out on the side? I’m just curious lol

More candy making too!!! I have already watched all your videos!!! Keep them coming!

Craig I went to Aldi's last week after watching your $30 trip at Aldi's and got that pineapple salsa and it's amazing!

Tip to picking out mangos: You want to look for ones that aren't too green and have some red and yellow spots to them. But you don't want them to be mushy either! That is if you're looking to each them that day. If you're going to wait and let them ripen a little more, I'd say you made good choices. Haha

Well this is different. Especially the conveyor belt filming lol. You are a special family.

Craig, please do a segment with you and Momdre on Basic Pantry Staples. There is so much information available that I have no clue where to start, what to keep, what to pass along to the food bank. Thank you for helping to make us all healthier. I love your family !!

what's the quarter for?

you are so corny with the fish jokes I love it

Hello lovely family 👋 oh..this reminds me so much of shopping with my Mum 20 years ago when I still lived at home. We would go and do our regular Saturday morning shop for my Nanna who past away in 2011 ( love her dearly) and Mum and I would pick up some food shopping for her and our own home. Now I have a family of my own and I love shopping with my girls. Food shopping is the best. It's number 1 in showing kids or just a great way to live by the food that sits comfy in all our tummy's. In re to the banana's we eat alot each week too and love blending them up to make breakfast smoothies...and left overs are the new thang lol 😄Take care all 👍

binge watching all the grocery shopping videos isn't a good idea at 3am, I WANT HUMMUS!!!!

I love the puns! Reminds me of my Mom and me, and my interaction with my kids!

i love your mums puns and you are no slouch with the witty come backs !! i dont like new years resolution either x

I have a question and I might sound dumb, but I have never heard of having to put 25 cents in a cart, why is that , that they make u pay for a cart?

I'm not Vegan and not going Vegan, but just curious, if you don't use egg whites as a source to combine your ingredients when trying to make patties, etc, what do you use?

I count myself lucky to have two mango trees in my backyard.😀

Oh! They charged for the cart! I wondered what they wanted the quarter for! Lol!!! I don't think I've ever seen a store charge for the cart? Bags, yes, but the cart?!

Oh Geez a Lou ! Love it! You need to make some apparel with that phrase on it 😉

Adding "jeez a loo" to my vocabulary

Craig you and your mom have awesome relationship. I can tell she is just super fun to talk to. I am 47 and lost both my parents fairly young, neither one took good care they were both smokers and I don't think my mother drank anything but Coke/Pepsi. I am not being funny she finally had to drink a small glass of orange juice for health reasons and you would have thought she was gonna have fits. I enjoy watching the banter back and forth between you and your mom. I am glad you guys all decided to go VEGAN together. Which parent do you think was hardest to convince? Do you ever miss any non vegan food? I promise I am going to order ribbon candy from you guys soon and I don't care how I get it as long as I get it. Keep up good work and cherish those parents!

About those bananas where I live we get so many varieties of bananas like cayan bananas apple banana(not an apple but the skin is the color of an apple skin)

I say it the same way your dad says that pepper. Funny.

Fruit prices where I am at are crazy low too. I thought I was dreaming when I went grocery shopping last week.

I live in Sydney Australia and I shop mostly at Aldi , I love it . They are great with organic and vegan products and it's so much cheaper. Glad to finally see something I recognise . Love you guys

17:25 I feel like I started a journey and I keep getting pulled away from my destination! How cold is it there?

I love that Aldi has improved their selection of healthier products over the years. it didn't used to be great but I can feed my kids better and different food for cheap. we'll be going shopping there tomorrow.

I have read that the Millville Cereals sold at Aldi are made by General Mills.

interesting. we have an Aldi too in our village Bilthoven, the Netherlands. but I don't like the Aldi here. I used to go to the Plus and the Albert Heijn.

I totally agree about the organic and not organic bananas! I hate when my local store is out of the organic ones. Been really enjoying all the videos you've been posting on both channels!

I like your comment about the colorful carrots. Cauliflower is also very colorful, pink, purples, oranges and shades of green, but it was the white version that was commercialized. Unfortunately too, once commercialized and bred specifically for that trait, alot of the natural traits such as resistance and nutrition are lost. I have been trying to cut out animal products from my diet, consuming about half of what I used to before. Still ongoing, will get to veganism soon.

Craig, I swear by the organic dole bananas!! So me and my kids did a taste test on regular bananas vs organic. We all chose the plate with the organic ones! It's not all in your head ;) I love watching you and moms shop!!

Craig, you and your Madre are so cute together. Your relationship is great. She's so funny!

The banana flavor difference is not in your head! I swear I can taste the difference too! Finally someone else understands!!! 😁

Thanks for showing me what I should be eating. Enjoy your week.

Did you hit something at the beginning of the video when you said "oh jesalu"?

We love in NC now but my parents are from upstate NY. My dad used to work for Salamedas

you have a price chopper and berkshire bank?! where do you guys live?

Craig 100% correct on the carrots and banana facts. Pretty soon they have to switch the type of banana they will have to sell because the Cav bananas have a type of disease that is killing them off by the plantation size. We have similar issues in Denver CO. Mangos you can eat green but i would suggest a salad with them shredded or a vinegary slaw. Being a professional cook and 95% veg is a thing. Dairy is a hard thing to give up for me because a lot of the "veggie cheeses" have casine in them which is not vegan. Vegan burgers are easy to make. Can of beans mashed with potato masher, 1 cup starch (potato mashed, cooked rice, oats, etc) and a 1-2 tbsp tamato product (paste, salsa, sauce) seasonings of choice and make patties (makes about 4) and refridg for 15 mins. Grill or heat in pan till firm. Awesome combinations can be made from this

I've only been to an Aldi's once in my life while traveling around New York and I'm quite sure it was that exact same one. I live in Sweden. So weird lol

Your mom is simply amazing. She even knows some Macklemore lines at 8:50.

Great vid, as always your mom was hilarious. Advice for the focusing thing: point the camera so its facing the floor or a plain wall. That way there's less going on in the background for the camera to focus on.

You have it good at your Aldi. We have to pack our own trolley in Australia. LOL Is your car a Toyota Rav.

I'm pretty sure I saw 1 lone jar of whole pepperoncinis and I was pointing them out to you guys for a minute before I realized you couldn't see me....

"Orange island." Do you have any idea how lucky you are to have a mother who knows what the hell that is? LOL

1:55 the pita factory sign... what is that place :D

Your mom is so trusting to get into a car that you are driving.

I just found you through Noreen's Kitchen, she's right your family is a hoot.

From some angles you look so much like you Mum! Anyway, thanks for the content. I've never eaten much meat but after reading your story I've decided to try a plant based diet in the hope it will help with my back pain. Any website recommendations for beginners? take care.

GRRRRR YES!!!! Pineapple and Mango in EVERYTHING!! Wait til you try them in guacamole.... it will break your dome-piece.

I'm confused, what was the quarter for?

ughhhh! tell your mom tge BJs brand of veggie burgers tricked me too! i was so upset about that! lol

Is that sugar in ur trunk organic? Non-organic sugar is unfortunately processed with bone char which is unnecessary and disgusting.

Off-label or private label products are often the same at many stores, however ALDI has their own brands made specifically for them. That’s why many products from ALDI brand are better than our nationally recognized brands.

Love Aldi. They have a bunch of vegan options. Now I have to go check my pasta sauce. Make sure I haven't been accidentally buying the one with cheese.

I love love Aldi!!! :) I shop there every time I go to get grocerys.

Swimming in a sea of green bananas. Lol do you put them in a brown bag to help ripen them.

my husband and i have been switching to vegan and yesterday i cheated and i thought it was so nasty i used to love chiken and now it tastes gross to me

Oh man chocolate covered triscuits!!! It would be amazing that salty crispness paired with the smooth sweetness of chocolate

sometimes when i eat bananas that are not organic, my lips tingle and burn so I only buy organic!

The guy who gave you the quarter looked like the guy from good mythical morning.

can you make videos about running, how to run, stretching things like that

love me some Aldi! we have to travel about 20 min away to get to the nearest one but it's worth it, especially for produce! besides the price i often find that it's fresher and tastier.

We need a No Egg Craig theme song & intro!

I am posting this as I am very allergic to MSG, I suffer severe nausea, and migraine that last for days. as a Vegan how do you cope with MSG? Web Facts, www.naturalnews.com/026157_MSG_food_organic.html. I also have a very limited diet to to certain chemicals like taurine, msg, etc... I was considering going vegan but, my diet is already so limited, I'm not sure if this would be a benenfit. How do you deal with MSG in your diet? Taurine Info: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taurine

I didn't know American had Aldi shops lol i thought England just had them .

have you really never had Jumex nectar? its amazing!

great family

Wow. NY Aldi is almost identical to England Aldi! Our carts require a whole pound though, so a quarter seems like a bargain!

You have to pay just to use a shopping cart?

so how much did you wind up spending on the food

Are tricuits vegan?

I MISS MOMDRE'S LONG HAIR!!!

I'm binge watching your videos

Wait what was the quarter for? I'm confused....

Craig, how long have you and your family been vegan? What was the reason for going vegan?

Where do y’all live

Seems we are all in lockdown this 2020...maybe what you want in the day will be interesting content? Oh yeah I'm watching old content...binge watching you tube right now haha

I sead I will not eat chocolate this year but I still like watching the videos I would love to get some chocolate covered chips maybe for my birthday this week I will order some candy

Reminds me of where I live in Michigan. I visit Aldi's each Saturday. Ken's Produce Market first, then Aldi's which is right across the street and then finally, if I even need to, head to Meijer. Eh, well, as to the frozen veggies I find the big bags at Meijer (usually on sale for $2) cheaper than the small bags at Aldi's. Your Aldi's looks just like the ones I've been in here. Ah, Triscuits. Those are so delicious. I don't eat gluten and gosh, haven't had Triscuits in, what, eight years? Nine? Coffee oatmeal?! Mmmmm. I've not had good luck with Aldi's produce. Just odd taste, odd aftertaste, not always the best price. So Ken's for produce except sometimes the weekly bag of oranges is a better deal at Meijer. Ooh, have you ever riced cauliflower? Needs to be thoroughly drained/strained in cloth so it's uber dry before used to make it, but it makes FABULOUS pizza crust. Oh, hm, but I make it with Parmesan cheese. There's probably a vegan recipe for cauliflower pizza crust if you're curious. Oh New York! Yah, I hadn't heard of BJs, and while I've heard of Wegman's (sp?) we don't have those here. Blueberries for 1.99 nice price. I so wish I loved those. I did as a child until the age of 14. I contracted stomach flu and got violently ill. For dessert that night had been blueberry pie. I just haven't liked blueberry since. But I want to! Blueberry jam, muffins, oatcakes, smoothes, they'd be so delish. Ah well. Roasted red pepper is the hummus I buy, too. SO good with veggies and beans at lunch or as an evening snack on rice cakes. Mmm is see guacamole. Tortilla chips and guac, man, SUCH a good duo. But I rarely eat either because calories and fat. Even though yes yes avocado is excellent micros and a healthy fat. But I digress. Ah, I can't do spicy. I'm a baby with spice. Is Leah your twin? Morningstar Farms has SUCH delish products. I love every one I've tried but alas, wheat gluten. So I stopped eating it. Egg whites in veggie burgers? Does not compute. Yah there have been times when I've eaten something I was told was vegetarian (back when I still trusted the outside eateries of the world) only to become ill after eating it. Rice pilaf. So back I went to the restaurant and asked if someone would please get a manager then spoke with THAT person about it. He checked the ingredients. Yep, down at the bottom of the list as a seasoning--dried chicken stock. What the hell? So the rare times I DO eat at a restaurant I eat as cleanly as possible and only identifiable foods avoiding sauces and soups in particular. No hissy fit from me either time I was duped (the rice pilaf and an unfortunate substitution of tuna salad with chicken SO sick that time). So no one in your family got sick from eating meat once having stopped? Like your dad who ate it only (eventually) one day a week? Counter chocolate. Hazelnut. it beckons me. I don't answer but it beckons me. In your candy-making, do you use cacao nibs or cocoa powder? Where do vegans stand on that?

I just subscribed.. I like how real you are and we both shop at alde!
