ALDI (& bonus Meijer Mini) GROCERY HAUL - January 2023

Come into ALDI with me see what I bought for a week of groceries for my family of 5. I always use items from my pantry/freezer as well. I share my dinner meal plan at the end.
Also, I do NOT buy my groceries exclusively at ALDI, but they're the first place I try and my favorite to shop at.

I appreciate your efforts to accommodate your vegetarian daughter. ❤

We make that roast with one can of cream of mushroom soup and one packet of onion soup mix and we add carrots, onions ,and potatoes. We cook it in the crock pot. Delicious! Add some water if you want a little more gravy.

[@doloreswilson6698]

Yum

[@GroceryAddict]

Sounds great! Thanks for sharing! May have to try this.

[@brookejones4000]

I started buying the Day and Night cream because of you!! Love them so far!!😊

Waiting a week for your videos seems like forever! These are my favorite!

[@GroceryAddict]

Glad you like them! Thank you so much hearts 💕

[@jernigan007]

Those green chilies are fantastic! 1 can of them, 2lb bag of pinto beans, 1-2 onions, crockpot. whatever seasonings you want. Add a bag of plain white rice. Cheap, easy, feeds an army = $4-5 ?? save the jasmine rice for other things

[@Leelee...]

I grew up eating Lebanese food,, yes, it's fabulous!♥

[@pinkrevenge3747]

Every time aldi receipt had survey I requested diced green chilies! So excited to see in stores now!

[@GroceryAddict]

My cashier today said we've had them for a few weeks, but I just noticed!! I hope they stay and I hope you get them, too!!

[@sueperez21]

The cabbage salad with garbanzo beans sounds delicious 😋

[@stillsimplystephanie]

The Valentine’s gnomes are so adorable!

[@GroceryAddict]

I think so, too!! hard to resist.

[@katiacleroux7376]

We haven't been in the states in 10 months but it seems as though the prices increased drastically on your side of the border as well!

[@bethanyg153]

That’s the “mother” of the apple cider vinegar. It’s very probiotic and good for you!

[@GroceryAddict]

Interesting!! Thanks for sharing :)

[@katemurphy4985]

That was just the Mother in the raw vinegar super good for you .

[@PDd-ji3qh]

[@rebeccaturner4988]

Try making Yorkshire puddings for the roasts. It’s baked batter - so yummy

[@GroceryAddict]

[@tracyc160]

Great video as always! Your milk is a lot better priced then mine here in south jersey. Still over 4.00 here

[@GroceryAddict]

Wow!! Ours was higher, but gratefully has come down a bit. thanks for watching.

[@ashleighfriends840]

Missed you Jackie!

[@conniemassie2496]

I have that same fridge , I love it !!

[@GroceryAddict]

It's great so far!!!

[@Caitlin1928]

I have some chicken and gravy with mashed potatoes in a couple of divided glass containers in my freezer. That's an excellent freezer meal. Also, raspberry jam for PB & J is an interesting choice. Normally I just see grape or strawberry flavor for that.

[@GroceryAddict]

My hubby likes it! YES!! I love to freeze the leftover chicken gravy!

[@LindaASJ]

That’s an amazing price on the Better than Bullion vegetarian

[@AmyBudgetsandCrafts]

I finally found some red sticker chicken today. Yay !

[@GroceryAddict]

Happy for you!! Tad jealous :P

[@trendymom1970]

Love your videos 🙂

You need to try Lebanese green beans! This is a recipe I got from online that we have made DOZENS of times its so good. 1 1/2 (2) lbs. fresh green beans Wash and trim the beans. Break or cut in half yielding pieces about 2" - 3". 1 1/2 (2) lbs. fresh unpeeled tomatoes Chop into approximately 1/2" cubes. 1 (1 1/2) cup chopped onions Chop the onions, starting with 1/4" slices. 7 (10) cloves finely chopped garlic peeled and sliced in half lengthwise, and the mature centers discarded; slice each clove in 3 lengthwise slices to start and then 7-9 crosswise slices. 3/4 (1) tsp. salt or less if desired 1/2 (3/4) tsp. coarsely cracked pepper 7 1/2 (10) Tbl. olive oil 3/8 (1/2) cup water 2 1/4 (3) Tbl. fresh lemon juice Trim the beans. Chop the tomatoes. Chop the onions. Chop the garlic. Heat the oil in a stainless steel large frying pan. Drop in the garlic and stir. Add the onions and stir again. Sprinkle on half of the salt. Saute uncovered over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the onions start to turn golden - about 10 minutes. Lower the heat to avoid burning, if necessary. Add the beans and the remaining salt and pepper. Continue cooking for another 10 minutes, tossing the beans almost constantly. Again, do not let the onions burn. Add the tomatoes and water. Mix, and cook covered for another 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the lemon juice, mix, and put aside. If it will be a very long time until use, this can be refrigerated. Making this somewhat ahead is better, since the lemon can marinate into the dish more fully. Before finishing, bring the pan out of the refrigerator ahead of time, and bring it to room temperature. From room temperature, reheat for 20-25 minutes over medium-low heat. This is best done uncovered, unless the mixture is losing too much of its moisture.

[@GroceryAddict]

Wow that sounds good!! So you usually try to leave time to refrigerate?

[@arthrodea]

@@GroceryAddict Its delicious fresh and hot! But we often make it ahead of time for dinners and then pull it out and microwave it before serving - it keeps really well in the frig.

[@angelacarpenter9134]

I bought the Texas toast and it's extremely smaller

[@GroceryAddict]

Compared to what it used to be? We rarely buy it

[@sarahkapustic1881]

The other day I got brown organic eggs cheaper than the white cardboard large eggs tell me that makes any sense! Bird flu …..

[@GroceryAddict]

That is nuts!

[@brendaknowlton1233]

You're not having any meat the night you have mashed potatoes and chicken gravy??

[@GroceryAddict]

We are, the chicken cooks in the crockpot and and then you shred it and add the gravy packets later. So it's shredded chicken in the gravy.

[@sueperez21]

My Meijer was out of the sale chicken breast. So I had to go back to Aldi 2X.... 🤣 lol

[@jaymielee1110]

Jackie does Michigan have any Discount grocery stores? Amy Maryon here on YT goes to Grocery Outlet and they have great bulk deals. Might be an idea and a good video. Thanks for a new Aldi video.

[@GroceryAddict]

Not that I know of! I know we have a local overstock bread place (that I've never been to!) but other than that, no!

[@dido5347]

Hello! 👋

[@doloreswilson6698]

The price of meat is crazy

[@GroceryAddict]

I agree!!

[@rg-mi5hh]

When our local reisbecks has a meat sale, that's when we buy it. Sticking to lower cuts of meat, but still helps.

[@barryhunter1682]

25 dollars

[@barryhunter1682]

100 dollars

[@shirleysear7168]

According to all the Doomsday sayers there's no groceries to buy.

[@elisabethandersson7503]

The meat is sooooo cheap compared to Sweden... I went almost vegan due to the meat egg an dairy prices here

[@GroceryAddict]

Recent price hikes, or always expensive?

[@elisabethandersson7503]

@@GroceryAddict meat are always expensive here

[@verlaschupbach8102]

You go so fast I can't really see anything! Slow down so we can see the items you're looking at please!

[@bobcabot]

...no offence: but you doing a lot of "fremdgehen" lately ( ragarding Aldi ! )

[@cherylwootten5925]

It's hard to hear you narrating while you shop..fyi

[@GroceryAddict]

Thanks for the feedback, I will try to improve next week.
