Everything I ate this week 🌱 vegan 🛒 + $90 ALDI grocery haul for two! 💸

[@ninjaturtles12121]

thank u for showing what u bought. the Aldi's in my "city" were only in lower economic areas (and that's where I live), but they opened a new Aldi in the rich part of city and it has 10x more stuff n a lot of plant based/vegan foods n fresher produce so I will be going there soon. When any one says racism is dead in America they should really visit the same chain grocery store in 2 different socio economic zip codes n see what's what ugh I hate it. at least the bus goes to this new Aldi so there is that otherwise I would have no way of trying it.

[@Yeahthatshowifeel]

That’s truly sad! I mean it’s the same store don’t discriminate based on who lives there! We all want good quality produce😩

[@konradehresman4140]

For real though! I lived in two different areas of LA, one prominently Hispanic and the other a much older and more Caucasian demographic, and the difference in what products were even offered was ridiculous. Also the amount of extra presence of security at the doors, certain products put behind cases and locks in one neighborhood and not the other- it’s blatant and really gross.

[@kikibunnie]

THIS!! The Aldi I go to isn’t in a rich area (in Baltimore ofc) but with her saying she got 3 zucchini’s for $3.64 and my Aldi being $3.88 PER ZUCCHINI and half the vegan products like cheese not even being available at mine is really evident they do not care about poor and black or poc people.

If Emily Ewing has content...I watch it. It is a very simple and fulfilling life

[@MYFeatheredShenanigans]

If 'honest content' was a person it would be Emily Ewing, and if 'honest content' had a personality it would be cool.

[@kyratarkowski7488]

For the sushi, I would make sure that where you're ordering from has no dairy in their tempura batter, as many places do! I've only ever been to one sushie restuarant where they don't put milk in their batter. If it does have milk, you can ask them just to steam the vegetables!

[@sheilam283]

our Aldi closes at 8 pm! I wish it was open later but I find, like you, that if I go after 7 pm, it's pretty good. YES! I HATE all the extra plastic wrap (and tray) on the fruits and veggies...

[@littlefrog9553]

I had a 90$ food haul at Aldi's for 2 vegetarians, and I felt so bad, because I don't remember ever spending that much in one go at Aldi's. But then I remembered how bad inflation is, and I calmed down. We still have to eat. It'll just have to come out of another budget.

Laying in bed with Covid and this is exactly the wholesome content to make me feel a little more alive and human

I literally held myself back from watching it through on post day, didn’t skip an ad and sat unmoving the entire time because I MISSED YOU! You make the best and most attainable and relatable food content I’ve seen. I eat more plant based bc of you!! So happy for this vid I hope you feel better and glad you don’t have the vid! Stay safe thank you for posting. Ps the tiny dog made my night

Hey! When I make my blended chia seeds, I pulse them really well by themselves dry, and blend them when they’re mixed in with the ingredients. It makes it a lot smoother in my experience!

[@cattienkat]

Your videos are the only ones I consistently watch without fail! 💕

[@Chickennugget-hg6rz]

Blend the chia seeds before adding it to your pudding ingredients! that’s what I do and it comes out much more smooth

[@lindseyrem]

I love the blue backsplash in the kitchen!!! So cute

[@jackieobrien4603]

loveeee emily's swaggy calm voice. i am not a vegan but i like to eat relatively more veggies and fruits so i really enjoy the relaxed no waste content :)

[@savannah_emery]

Love the honest content! That last bite of burrito is so relatable 🌯

[@katyferenczy-dakin]

This is so interesting to see because this seems far more expensive than the Aldi in the UK. I think food must just be a lot more expensive in the US. My partner and I usually spend about $130 per two weeks at Waitrose which is an expensive supermarket in the UK.

[@sofapop653]

Did you account for conversion of dollar to pound?

[@katyferenczy-dakin]

@@sofapop653 yes we spend about £100 every two weeks in a more expensive store. Whereas this was about £70 in what is one of the cheapest food stores (at least in the UK it is)

[@sofapop653]

@@katyferenczy-dakin idk if it’s the same there, but we are going through pretty bad inflation atm in America. I used to spend about $110 to feed my family of four for a week and a half/ two weeks. I now spend about $250. That might be the cause.

[@PumpkinGollum]

@@sofapop653 we are going through inflation in the UK too, but I’ve also noticed a general trend of food being more expensive in the US grocery wise. Both through videos and being there myself. It’s interesting because take out/eating out is cheaper US versus UK but actual grocery shopping is the opposite

[@rocioreynoso]

ALL VEGANS OF ALDINATION RISE!!

[@trinitylaws7656]

I work at an Aldi and my Aldi closes at 8, I honestly had no idea that there were some open later then that

[@alexisd8835]

Try mixing the jelly in a little bit of warm water and then putting it into a cold drink it’s probably just needed a little help dissolving lots of love❤️❤️❤️

[@rae3356]

I think for the chia pudding, the seeds were still crunchy after being blended because they didn’t have time to soak and absorb the liquid. Maybe try prepping it and let it sit over night & blend in the morning

[@kikikara123]

I’m sometimes able to buy the vegan shin noodles at Walmart Neighborhood Markets! I will say that the containers actually labeled “vegan” that you can find on Amazon seem to have a better texture, but the price is crazy high (probably just because it actually has the “vegan” label 🙄). So grateful you posted about these vegan shin noodles before though because I immediately started looking for them at local stores and they’re now my favorite instant noodles to buy ❤️

[@OustoL]

Yay another emily video! They are always so cozy

[@crystalh1402]

Thank you for sharing the prices, I’m in Elk Grove California and it’s helpful to have a reference.

[@Laughoutloud361424]

I think you have to let the chia pudding sit for a lil bit to absorb the water before you blend it that's what I did when I made it and it v creamy

I love your videos so much! They genuinely brighten my day when I see them. Also, when i tried the blended chia seed pudding i also didn't like it, it was just clumpy and crunchy and bad lol.

[@michellel9595]

I went vegan in 2015 then in 2016 I went vegetarian. But I’m transitioning back to vegan this week because lactose intolerant is destroying me. I only now learned about frying onions and peppers and mashing an avocado, then putting it all together with pasta. Surprisingly delicious.

[@bleuify7]

your content... never dissapoints

The boursin is really good under avocado on toast!

[@viivi4196]

yay new vid, love it! I gotta try the blended chia pudding thing to see if I like it since I don't like the texture of chia seeds

[@catherineguerrero9237]

You need to blend the chia seeds into a powder first before you soak them!!!

[@gitzieisreading]

i feel like $5 is cheap for 4 organic avocados (at least where i live). in my city, it costs about $3 for a large organic avocado.

GOING TO ALDI FOR THE FIRST TIME TOMORROWWWWWW

[@KristenHalliburton]

Bring a quarter!!☺️☺️

[@tenillestewart5370]

You have to use less seeds than you would normally use for regular chia pudding. Like 1-2 Tablespoons for a cup of liquid I think. I didn’t like it blended using regular measurements

[@cocteautwin]

thanks to this video, i went to aldi and found the meatless meatballs again too!! since like january! it was one of two last bags

[@mclenwrites3341]

Whoa! I never knew they had aldi's in America 😅 such a good store I love it 😂🙌🏽 it's nice to see what you can get whilst still being vegan 🙌🏽 makes me wanna actually try and be veggie/vegan ☺️

Another awesome video from beautiful & gorgeous Emily. I have been shopping through Tesco because I prefer delivery not just because of COVID but in the store I sometimes overspend and need to get a taxi home and can restrict/budget better online. Love 🥰 the video and love 💞 Emily.

Interesting, I was wondering if Sierra Nut House still existed and I saw that your mangoes were from there. Did you buy those at Aldi? My memory of Sierra Nut House was an actual little house in the middle of a nut orchard that somewhere around Sierra and Freeeesno? Or Fiiirst??? It’s probably been built over with houses like the rest of the orchards of my childhood. 😒

[@JonesLeFae]

Sierra and Chestnut. Still there. Looks like they have some yummy salads too.

i think you're supposed to dry blend the chia seeds by themselves before you mix them with anything to make it more like regular pudding. That is what I have seen, but haven't tried yet

thats a good idea i should try someday

WOW you bought 3 zucchini’s for $3.64 but from my Aldi it’s $3.88 EACH. No wonder I have to use ebt since moving to Baltimore. Maryland is too expensive for no reason, what state does she live in?

[@KelseyHontz]

I'm with you on the "innocent!" tagline of La Croix being uncomfortable. It's like when you're eating rice cakes and notice that they say "a guilt-free food!" Like yeah, sparkling water and rice cakes are "innocent" and "guilt-free" but so is every other food if you don't demonize it

they stopped doing that a while back! they are vegan now 👍❣️

[@orla2821]

I’ve never heard anyone pronounce Aldi like that before 😳

[@ninjaturtles12121]

also kale in smoothies >>>>> spinach. please try it I promise it's great! also spinach is an oxalate containing green so it prevents absorption of a lot of its nutrients esp. calcium. But kale doesn't have oxalates and makes a much more nutritious smoothie. I also much much prefer arugula for savory meals in pastas, rice dishes etc. so much more delicious adds such a wonderful peppery flavor and obv much more nutritious than spinach. please try it! also eating too much spinach again due to the oxalates can lead to some stones in some people. rare but a possibility. so that's why I use kale for smoothies n arugula in savory dishes n limit spinach to when I eat out. I never eat lettuce as it's just water n tastes gross imo lol.

I think going to the grocery store while thinking you had covid was really not okay. I understand delivery is expensive but even pickup would have been better than going in the store and potentially exposing the few people there. The inconvenience of not getting to actually look at the options or paying a delivery fee doesn’t make it okay for you to possibly expose people to covid. Really changes my opinion of you.
