ALDI GROCERY HAUL AND SHOP WITH ME 2021 | CHEAP MEALS ON A BUDGET

[@jdewitt2531]

My favorite Aldi hack is thanks to my husband. Don't bag your groceries in the store, but just take your full cart out to the car and bring along a few laundry baskets or plastic tubs. We separate them by cold or pantry things. Then when you get home you just grab the bins from the car and stock the kitchen. A lot less hassle and then you know what stuff is cold and needs top priority to be put away! Also less trips carrying groceries in the house.

[@EleanorRoseRyan]

Great tip! Thanks for sharing 💛

[@thesimplifiedsaver]

Great tip! Love that!

[@teresialynch4407]

My husband and i do the same thing. Helps allot. :)

[@cynthiawright9982]

Nice!

[@MJM8715]

Great tip!

[@amandaturner5253]

Omg...the whole chill pill dialog is hilarious!

[@SongbirdCollageArts]

Thank you so much for making consistently wholesome and approachable content. I’ve been following you for a long time now, and it’s always a comfort to come back to your channel to see a real person living a real life in a positive way. ❤️

[@homesteadingwithapurpose9681]

I enjoy all your cooking and saving videos.

[@thesimplifiedsaver]

Thank you so much!

[@scienceteachersrule3296]

My daughter and I just discovered how great Aldi is after watching this video. Thanks for all the tips!!!

[@alexandriakellen4378]

I love seeing what you guys eat for dinner every night! Would also love to see a morning or evening routine and how you get everything done as a mom, teacher, and wife!

[@thesimplifiedsaver]

Thanks for the video ideas!!

[@Drewsmama05]

Your sweet babies make me smile. Thank you for sharing them with us.

[@raviolies4me]

I made the oven sandwiches last night and they were a hit! Sometimes "easy" recipes actually end up taking me 40-mins to an hour but this took me minutes. Thank you!

[@nickywiedmeier6770]

The way you both say Aldi is the cutest thing ever : great video!

[@Isabella66Gracen]

I was laughing out loud at the 'family noise' and at your very delightful 'helper' long before you finally reacted to it all. Your reaction was priceless! It brought back so many memories of when my kids were that age. My youngest is a sophomore in college now. Believe me when I say you will miss these chaotic moments someone's someday. ❤😆

[@thesimplifiedsaver]

Thank you for sharing Lydia

[@waterstreeter]

I'll have to wait a bit because I'll be having turkey and dressing for Christmas but I want to make your sliders but with turkey, dressing, and gravy. I almost got the stuff for them tonight but I had to stop myself because I am making something else and was also making something tonight as a kind of snack and it really would have been too much for just me! I will make that though! That's a great idea! Thanks again for giving me fresh ideas!!!! Take care!

[@user-ex7dt5pr6l]

I laughed hearing your husband say “Everyone needs to take a chill pill” And your reaction priceless! I remember those days! I’m gonna try to find that antioxidant drink you bought the next time I go! Lucky your Aldi sells alcohol. Mine doesn’t 😒

[@thesimplifiedsaver]

We are big fans of "chill pills"!

[@dawnlatham4852]

I love your Aldi videos, your real family life is the best and I know you said you are running out of inspiration, but it’s because you have been giving it all to us! Thank you for all your inspiration to keep us focused and moving in the right direction!!!

[@pamelasanders5657]

Loved this style of video where you show shopping and then how you use what you buy. Thanks for sharing!

[@thesimplifiedsaver]

You are so welcome!

I have made this mix sense the 1970's. Ranch dressing mix plus. 1 cup parsley flakes, 1/2 cup fine crushed saltines, 1/2 cup dried minced onions, 1/2 cup garlic salt, 2 tablespoons dill weed, 1/2cup onion salt, 1/4 cup garlic powder, 1/4 cup onion powder. Mix and store in jar. 1 tablespoon is one package of mix. To make Ranch salad dressing. 1 cup mayo, 1 cup buttermilk, 1 tablespoon mix. Thousand island dressing. Take1 cup of the ranch dressing you made and add 1/8 cup chili sauce & 1 tablespoon sweet relish. Ranch dip. Replace buttermilk with sour cream. Cucumber dressing to 1 cup of dressing add 1/2 cucumber peeled and seeded and chopped fine and 1/2 teaspoon celery seed.

Thank you for sharing Patsy - sounds delish!

[@thesimplifiedsaver]

Thank you Cynthia!

[@mlhenry4]

An appetizers video would be nice! Whether it’s appetizers for Sunday football or a holiday get together. I also like seeing what you make for your lunch. I get stuck in the habit of making cold cut sandwiches for mine

[@thesimplifiedsaver]

Great idea Megan!

[@rachelresets]

Loved this video and hearing your little one help with the grocery haul presentation. Precious! Love the extra support from dad too helping everyone swallow their "chill pill". 😉

[@thesimplifiedsaver]

It takes a village, as they say! And a pack of chill pills :)

[@WilletteB]

I love your video content no matter what you do. The meals you prepare are easy looking and perfect for leftovers here at our house. They have saved my meal time so many times. I like your instant pot spaghetti. It's easy and fast. I can get by using one jar of sauce as opposed to two jars the way I used to make it. Less clean up involved is always a win for me. We especially enjoyed the Frito pie you shared. My husband still talks about that meal. (Time to buy Fritos). 😍 Enjoy your busy tines. These days are full of mom challenges, but right now is the time you will miss someday. I promise, you will mourn after the kids leave home. 😭 I love you sweet Abby. You always have a place in my heart! 💕🙂🙏

[@thesimplifiedsaver]

Love that spaghetti recipe! And the frito pie :) Thank you for watching and for your kind words, Willette.

[@amandarose7075]

I always make our beach lunch (mini sandwiches) using the Hawaiian rolls. Easy to pack throw it right back in the rolls packaging lol. Easy to serve there.

Those are the best!

[@jaryfelix8144]

I love it a so funny how your kids what to be involved and how your husband try to make them stop. I miss those time they grow so fast enjoy every second. 💓💓

Very nice shopping trip to watch! I love Aldi! I enjoyed seeing all the goodies you were able to find. I’m adding a few of these to my things to my shopping list. I just started making shopping walkthrough shopping videos. I feel like We can learn a lot from each other. I like this style of video. I was curious if you could share any tips you may have for filming in the store? You presentation is lovely. I’d love to learn about good deals from each other.
