ALDI Favorites!

[@msthisisdumb23]

Yes! Those peanut butter cookies are the best! Better than Girl Scout cookies

[@ElliesDonna14]

Ain’t nothin any better than some pinto beans and fried taters and of course cornbread. 💜

[@-angie.]

Even if the Crisco goes out of date to be edible you can always use it as a candle source.

[@nktigger99]

I absolutely love how you said stress free 2021....can we get an amen on that!!!

[@lorihunsaker1945]

Amen

[@danielafurlan322]

Amen!!!

I make soap, and I have learned that most oils store much better in the refrigerator or freezer. I don't keep a lot in there, but having a spare of each is a good way to keep you out of the grocery store. I have a couple of upright freezers, and I use the space that becomes available as we use up sale meats (turkeys at Thanksgiving were $0.17/lb, and ham was $0.87/lb at Christmas) for extra flour and oils.

[@susanbender2953]

Hi. (Being silly here...) Baby goats. Cute baby goats. Make me happy. 😊😁. Seriously to see the joy of the LORD in you in all you do has encouraged me. And thankyou for the Aldi haul too.

[@ChihuahuamomX3]

I am German living now in the USA. I grew up shopping at Aldi. I am so happy Aldi and Lidl are here in the states now.

[@lorindav5549]

When we used to get paid once a month, I would make a basic menu, then DH and I would make our monthly trip in to Aldi's in the big city. We would buy cases of veg, tomato sauce, beans, butter, and even soups. Worked a treat. Then during the month, we would just need to pick up basics of milk and such. We did eat out of the garden and we had chickens. Our treat that we would buy would be the fruit strips, strawberry or raspberry. So yummy and good for low blood sugars when driving. I still refill the green glass bottle that we bought olive oil in and keep it by the stove. I do want to add that during WWII, besides not having as much meat, Fats were one of the hardest things to do without. You can also stick a taper candle in a can of shortening and burn it for heat and light. Could probably cook with it, but I haven't tried that. Burns for a very long time. Great for power outages.

[@RosySideFarm]

ALDI is my favorite store!!!

[@suedalimonte7863]

You are such a breath of sunshine.

[@teresamasengil4275]

Girl your just down the road from me. I seen you in the parking lot and I knew exactly where you were. I’m on 411 about 30 miles from that parking lot! Have a great day!

[@diannegerspacher4889]

I love Aldi's. They also have the best chocolate candy! Great deal on wines👍 Blessings to you and your family 🙏

[@debbiecrouch709]

Oh how fun what a throw back used to have the Shirley Temples when I was a kid! ( but still great today! )

[@conniesmith7800]

Looks like a few neighbors I didn’t know we had after reading the comments!! Yep, shop there pretty frequently. Some the employees there are so, so sweet and kind. Love their pizza too! Have a blessed day neighbor!! 🙂

[@DouglasCohen1962]

You can't beat that with a stick if you try, lol I love it!

[@junnielaine4208]

So true ! Aldi is where we go for our main shopping.

[@glendabyford8074]

We love aldi. It helps me stay on budget and fill in areas of the pantry that either I can’t grow or ran out of!

[@syd_santon]

If it weren't for aldi growing up we definitely wouldn't have been able to eat as good as we did. God bless the Germans for aldi❤️

[@ann2155]

Did you know that Aldi‘s is owned by the brother of the guy that owns Trader Joe’s? Yes your nails look great also.

[@OneBrightLightTN]

I’m only a few seconds into this video, but I just have to say your nails have been looking FABULOUS in the last few videos! 😍

[@LadyTSurvival]

Aldi has some whole grain spaghetti noodles that are way yummy and meatballs in the freezer are really good

[@harrietwalton3314]

My sister & I had the canned Ham today. It was delicious!! I put crushed pineapple & Brown sugar on the ham & cooked it in the crockpot! I will be buying this again very soon! Thanks Patara! I am a big Aldi's shopper!

[@angieddeed6308]

When you picked up the jar of cherries, I thought those are great for Shirley Temples. And then you said it and I yelled! I shop at Aldi's, I get the cherries there and make ST's for my nieces and nephews all the time. It's "our thing". They love them.

[@fallenangelwi25]

We have a store called rulers food. It's just as cheap and often where we go if we get a few dollars to get food with

[@kymburriss4260]

I love Aldi ! We have them here in Missouri, and I've been shopping there since 1978. I love their products

[@jeanneorr7838]

I just picked up the maple syrup and the walnut brownies from there , I like that place and go every week

[@barbara-pigeonbray4579]

There is an ALDI new to our area ..next to "our" Hobby Lobby ..Looks like I need to check it out ! ( when we're shopping for craft supplies etc. we never think of groceries LOL )

[@debracarnley788]

I put my Crisco in the fridge after I open it...haven't lost any to spoilage since I started that.

[@peggykirk1408]

My husband has been the main grocery shopper for many years. He coupons and shops sales.............keeps us covered for sure. He doesn't like Aldi for some reason but it is my favorite. I go about once a month and love it!!!!

[@chayh.6249]

Oh gosh I miss Maryville!! I lived in Townsend. Live in Florida now - I miss my Mountains!!! Sending New Year Blessings!!

[@diannaleefolkers-sarber2393]

I love there peanut butter cookies, and their maple syrup. I always go to the baking aisle and there flour and sugar are priced really good.

[@mywoolmitten]

Patara, you are one of the few people who (rightly) point out that it's just fine to stock up with smaller sized items! Thank you (and now I'm wanting to try that pizza lol)

[@Jean2235177]

I need to hit Aldi more often. That pinto bean price is good.

[@kiki29073]

I love all of the different cheeses Aldi has.

[@juanitahaleyfrizzell2191]

I just went to Aldi today, thought of Patara and stocked up on that Brookdale canned ham and corned beef hash.

[@katiemoore4807]

I love your energy🙌🏼

[@storieswithmamac3014]

I enjoy Aldis tortilla chips and potato chips, same taste at a fraction of the cost

[@mindfulgratitude3041]

I'm with OneBrightLight Ms. Patera, your nails are beautiful....but my question is, what is your haircut called? It's beautiful too! My hair has gone COVID and I'm going to donate the FULL length. I love how fresh you look and your hair looks like wash n run...which is right up MY alley too. Thanks in advance! Much love and virtual NC hugs from my family to yours in TN. Stay well.

[@monikas5125]

Good morning and Happy New Year’s

[@CecilliaDB]

I love Aldi! I always know what to get there, I'm in and out quick. Their curry sauce is awesome. We add coconut milk, lentils or meat and more seasoning and we're enjoying an easy curry and naan.

[@LMoorePC]

You are gonna love those chocolate muffins from Aldi!! I use them often. It also makes a great bread.

[@christineshaw7198]

You are a breath of fresh air in this stressful world!

[@janetcroneberger9972]

I love Aldi's, great produce also!

[@beckywalker1519]

We dehydrate, onions, carrots, bell peppers and celery for soups, stews , gumbo and chicken fricassee

[@65sheilakay]

Aldi is across town for me in a high traffic area. We have a Food Giant. I get pick 5 for $20 on meats,then they have a $1 aisle where I get tortillas for breakfast burritos and chicken quesedillas. I used canned chicken. Kids love it. At the Dollar Tree I get my coconut oil and pie filling. We have a thrift here called Rifa where they sell marked down goods. I get real good cheese for$1, brownie mix for .75 and canned goods are .35. Yes I do shop 4 or 5 different places to get food! Walmart has good prices on certain things, but I don't enjoy shopping there. Oh, also I get the little canned hams at Dollar General for $3. I slice it honey and brown sugar it up, and pop in the oven. Kids love it.

[@Ms.Byrd68]

That's what I'm talking about, grow what you can when you can and store while you can... in the meantime make sure your pantry has regular goods as well so you ready for the weather or crop failures or pests, etc... You always need a 'backup' plan when it comes to feeding yourself and your family.

[@evinrude1236]

"Beans, beans, the magical fruit.............the more you eat, the more you toot." 😉😜 Who doesn't love Aldi's....? 🥰

[@rebecca8317]

We love Aldi! Their pizza is definitely great. So are their salad dressings. I have no idea how we afforded to eat before aldi came to town.

[@tammymarch3225]

Those peanut butter chocolate cookies are SO GOOD and So cheap! Happy snacking on those! yum

[@michellekyle4653]

Love shopping at Aldi. In my area each store has slightly different stock and prices so it's good to shop at different ones

[@ellensedge1898]

haven't been to Aldi in forever, need to get back for that 48 cents a can, canned goods

[@gailgrooms997]

I drive 22 miles to get to my nearest Aldi store. Worth every minute of my time! My favorite thing to buy at Aldi’s is cereal which is a fraction of the cost of a regular grocery store.

[@virginiainnes9042]

I’ve always liked Aldi but tend to forget just how great they are! Thank you for reminding me! I’m budgeting and saving for a cabin out in the country, so I think I’m inspired to do an Aldi challenge! I’m going to see if I can do all my grocery shopping at Aldi and see how much I save! Thank you for the video...God bless you and your family ❤️🙏🏼

[@BitsOfThisNThat]

We have an Aldi's and I love it, I haven't been there in a while. Can't wait for the cabinet update. God Bless

[@tonimason8737]

Thank you Patara for showing prices too. It's funny how products vary from country to country. We've had Aldi here for about 2 years and they are much cheaper than our other supermarkets here. I think the only product we get here is the cashews from your haul.🙄 I'm in Western Australia.

[@Togglefree]

My girlfriend got me to shop at ALDI and it has become my favorite grocery store here in Michigan.

[@hazelamann2697]

In the video I watched yesterday you cooked that ham in the crock pot. I thought to myself, "That would be yummy with beans." Green beans or even pinto beans cooked with ham. What a great meal!

[@rachalnocchi5600]

I really like to put chili seasoning in my pinto beans, along with some cooked ground sausage, boy is that a good dinner! Great haul!

[@carolbutler6932]

Cute dishes! Aldi bacon and Aldi butter] I never leave the store without them!

[@farmergirlofchickens8779]

That bagel spice is the bomb. My curly kale, potatoes and that spice!

[@denisescull4227]

If you like spiral ham- quick go check your Aldi, it is .85 cents a pound at mine. I learned some new things to try and I agree with you on a bunch too. Made me remember to check closer on some of the categories. I like their seasonal items, some German hotdogs they only have in summer, German chocolates at Christmas, any of the German things because that's where they started Aldi. Thanks for sharing, now I'm going to read the comments. Happy New Year Patara and family!

[@jma8352]

yep get the can tuna limit 6. for .69 and chicken to can when its on sale. gravy and chili packs and nice heavy produce boxes make great laundry boxes

[@rscbmr1023]

I just started shopping more at Aldi and really like their products and the savings. Inflation has already started being one that needs to budget it's a savior

[@annfevans6923]

Watched your vlog the first time, had to get up and go make myself a Shirley Temple.

[@RSJ-Texas]

Yup. Love me some Aldi !!!

[@heleneblack2115]

The ham has its own pedestal! Glad you are back to getting some sleep 😴🥱😴

[@olitanahooikaika3941]

Our Aldi has the best price on produce. Love Aldi ❤️❤️❤️

[@hollys87]

Love Aldi I can shop for the month and have a cart full and do so for under $100 and the products are good and it amazing how much they have that is organic. My grandparents used to by the blueberry muffin mix that came with a little can of blueberries that you stirred in the mix.

[@susancole5834]

My mother used to make pinto beans with kielbasa sausage and then add noodles, yummy!

[@Root_and_Fleurish_Farm]

Agree on the pizza! I don’t love frozen pizzas but Aldi is the only one I’ll buy and we buy a few every time we go!

[@lindaguida4074]

Waiting for grand opening in Melbourne, Florida

[@evelynrogers7145]

I get almost all my groceries at Aldi

[@paulineclaflin2934]

Was pleasant listening to you explain things. I am an Aldis regular shopper. Still nice listening to your video. Thank you.

[@jeanwoodall1523]

I love the trial mixes with dried cranberries, the brioche buns, the cheesecake slices, the pure white meat chicken nuggets (the only place I can find them these days), the frozen mussels, and most of the fresh produce there. Usually I only go when my mother takes me. Lee isn't confident in our cars to drive that far. We're not sure what's wrong with one of them and the other one is fancier so he doesn't know how to fix it himself.

[@elizabethfclark03]

I love to shop at Aldi! Those peanut butter cookies are worth the trip! I normally buy 2 or 3 packs at a time.

[@markkristynichols845]

LOVE Aldi! I also love their Beer selection, get to try some different types!!! Kristy in Missouri :)

[@sagawang5]

Aldi has lots of gluten free items & that’s very important for prepper pantry

[@livingthegoodlifewithgramm524]

That is right down the road from my brother and sweet sister n law.. love Aldi's and love your channel.

[@lhodgens]

I love those Tyson Pork Roasts for weeknight suppers in the crackpot. That's a great deal! I usually spend about $12 at my regular grocery store for those.

[@alexanderlapp5048]

I like the artichoke salad from Aldi. It is a treat I get for myself when I go there. I love the cookies too. Great prices on milk too.

[@beezhomestead6576]

Wow. Excellent.

[@marilyngodfrey868]

We visited our new Aldi store on Friday. I looked for your favorite pizza...I guess too many shoppers had already shopped...I never did find it. However I did get the roast and veggies. Yum!! I guess I found some goodies because I spent a bit over one hundred $. our new store is so nice, the isles are wide, the produce was so fresh! I love shopping at Aldi!

[@joycepinson134]

Oh! Waving at y’all from the mountains of KY!

[@patriciacampbell1966]

I LIVE IN SOUTH CAROLINA AND I SHOP AT ALDIs. I LOVE ALL THEIR PRODUCTS.

[@patriciastern9430]

Grab a container of the Cranberry Almond chicken salad, some croissants and some baby carrots-super quick Saturday lunch. (Don't forget the iced coffee!)

[@markkristynichols845]

AND... I just bought the everything bagel seasoning too!!! Kristy again :)

[@kentuckygirl8282]

We LOVE Aldi! We can get almost double the amount of groceries from there. And good food, not crap. One thing I personally do NOT recommend is their Pecan Smoked Chicken (usually out in the fall). Nobody in my house would eat it. But otherwise, everything else is great!!

[@suenepa]

I love Aldi. I don't believe I've ever gotten anything that wasn't good-- well, my cats won't eat Aldi dry cat food. But that's the only thing. The hams are fine. Their luncheon meat (Spam) is good. Nothing better than spam diced up in baked beans to go along with mac and cheese-- YUM. Their frozen turkey breasts are the best. I do those in the slow cooker with salt, pepper and poultry seasoning and a little water-- to die for. I'll never buy another whole turkey. Their pasta is better than some of the name brands-- not at all starchy. I could go on, but I'll spare everyone. Love your videos. You crack me up!

[@susanhoward5046]

Happy New Year !! Just to share. There for a few weeks our Aldi was out of bacon . Not just lower sodium bacon I get for my family. But all bacon ;) Yes Aldi and Hobby Lobby !! 😃🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️

[@dianeb7420]

Love Aldi! My favorite store!💕🙏

[@donnastratton8397]

This video was in my recommendations, probably because I had just watched another homesteading video and since I love shopping at Aldi, I decided to click. We do not live on a farm nor are we homesteaders, but we might have another connection. When I heard you say you were going to Aldi in Maryville, I thought, could that be Maryville, TN? Then later when you mentioned East Tennessee, I assumed you did. I grew up in Blount County (Rockford/Maryville) and lived there up until 20 years ago (we are in our 60's now). We now live an hour north east in Morristown. My brothers still live there and my parents and grandparents are buried there. This morning I've watched several more of your videos and could tell instantly I am going to like your channel. Love your animals! I'm a cow and chicken lover especially! Can't wait to see the rest of your videos!

[@appalachiashomesteadwithpatara]

The two items you didn't mention that I get every time I'm there are a box of saltines 75 cents for a pound and their cans of tomatoes with green chilies (Rotel) for 39 cents.
