Gluten-free chicken nuggets and General Tso's chicken in frozen foods. They were on a low shelf, I only saw them because I needed the electric ride around cart that day. The General Tso's is delicious! 🥰

I’m glad Matt talked about the Dove, Tresemme and Cascade knock offs (Lacura/Radiance Ultra knock off brands) at Aldi it’s the products I always buy when I shop there, the products are half the price and your still getting what you need. I also wanted to mention the Tandil Aldi brand laundry detergent and softener sheets some of their products are Tide knock offs and again they are half the price and a game changer (their company also makes Purex, Bounce and Gain product knockoffs). I hope this helps anyone else out there who normally buys Tide or any of these products like us, they even have the free and clear brand under Tandil that’s usually hypoallergenic for those with allergies like me, so thankful they are making knock off products of the things we love that are in our price range!

[@Trueshogunate]

This seriously helps, thanks so much!

[@RC-kv9rj]

Thanks for your input as I’m interested in the Dove & Tresemme knockoffs and will now check out the Tide one too.

[@jellenp]

[@oscaribanez2496]

As far as the medicine goes, all medications sold in this country have to have the same active ingredients. The only reason why someone should ever go for a big brand medicine is for any allergies they may have, but for a vast majority of us I’d say save your money and go for the lesser known brands. Not known to many people but the best value for acetaminophen/tylenol is the $2 target brand, even though we’re talking about Aldi.

I got an Aldi copper-looking wind spinner last spring and have been impressed by its good looks and sturdy design. It's been in our front yard for a year now. I do apply a clear spray coat to outdoor items -- you can find appropriate ones for metal, plastic, or paint finishes. I used clear rustoleum on the wind spinner.

[@hackeenkonan9066]

Thanks so much for the tip. I just bought a wind spinner for $15 in metal color bronze at Aldi, and I'm very impressed with the workmanship. It's a large and beautiful piece in my garden. I saw the same online, and the price tag was $49.99.

[@JILLCritterologist]

The stair step plant shelves are awesome! Self-watering "windowsill" (rectangular) plastic planters from Walmart are a great fit, perfect for letting small plants grow larger before planting out into your garden. Instead of buying a flat of ground covers, I buy a few -- 1 or 2 per planter will become a solid block to divide and plant out by fall. I have 2 of the rounded corner units forming a semi-circle for potted plants, too. I do want to say that I should have sprayed them with rustoleum, as some of the older ones (probably 5+ years old) have started showing some rust this spring. Of course, that's easily fixed wth a can of "rust stop" style rustoleum!

[@JILLCritterologist]

hold the phone! I just noticed these are NESTNG shelves. I have the old ones with 3 shelves attached together to form a single unit. The nestng ones would tuck away more easily when you don't need all the space and could be used in so many different ways! However, I wonder if they'd be a bit likely to tip? The stair-step shelves don't budge if you bump into them

[@margaretphillippi462]

Those nesting flower steps would be great as a shoe organizer.

[@carolb3122]

The kiddie pool can also be used as a raised bed garden.

[@lenettasmith-murray2145]

The alternative to the brand Flonase works just as well. I get it there every time I'm there . Two times cheaper, as over $18 at Walmart

[@MrNeonJebus]

You can get 5 (144 sprays each) of Fluticasone (Flonase) for $21.99 or often less at Costco. I work in an allergy clinic so I’m always price shopping to help patients save money on over the counter meds.

Careful with mochi. Never give to babies, elderly, pets or anyone with difficulty swallowing. It is soooo good tho. Just be careful.

[@thedealguy]

Good heads up!

[@monkeybusiness1999]

Huh...? 🫤`> Looked it up. Mochi is very sticky & a potential cho king hazard. Yikes... It's ice cream. Sorta.

[@shellym79]

@@monkeybusiness1999 it's ice cream surrounded by a sticky rice dough. The texture of the dough is unique and as it melts it gets sticky and stretchy like taffy sorta. If you've never eaten it it's definitely different. And the texture starts to loosen almost as it defrosts so if you've only ever had it right out of the freezer it can catch you by surprise if it melts a little. It's absolutely delicious though.

Our Aldi hardly ever has the items you show. 😕

[@rick3747]

Ask the staff when these items are put out. Not all the ALDIs go on the exact same day. Just get to know the staff.

[@how2honey327]

Perhaps you should tell the manager at your local Aldi...or pop a comment online. Goid luck😊

[@jstephens2758]

Same here. Apparently, different items are available in different areas. But even when an item is advertised in a local flyer, good luck finding it. It either arrives late, is sold out immediately, or never arrives at all.

[@jstephens2758]

@@rick3747 Getting to know staff is usually a great idea at most businesses. Unfortunately, at our local Aldi stores, the staff turns over constantly and the hiring sign is always up. Even though they pay well over the minimum wage in our state ($15 - they start at $18.50, they can't keep staff. So, getting to know them is nearly impossible. Even if you can, they are always so busy, asking them anything usually causes them great stress. Writing to Aldi does not get a response. I wonder if posting on social media would work better. It does for some businesses.

I've got the OXO version of the avocado tool @8:47 I find I only use it when prepping lots of avocados. If I'm only doing one or two I prefer a knife. A bonus about this tool is that there's no sharp metal edges (all cutting edges are plastic), so you can have kids help in the meal prep without worrying about cuts.

We love the Banza pizza crusts. They are chickpea based, sold frozen. They make premade pizzas as well as just the crust - which my wife and I love to make custom & enjoy

[@cindyverstraete5989]

we love aldi here is SC. Their prices are cheaper than walmart on lots of items we buy weekly. I think in my town people are catching on because they were out of the mama cozzi's cauliflower crust pepperoni pizzas 2 weeks in a row. I love going to see what is new every week. I think their brand of canned vegetables and fruits taste the same as name brand if not better. We love their meats too. Yeah, I may be paying a little more for the 90/10 hamburger meat but it is so much better than anywhere else in my opinion. I just picked up shrub roses for $8.97. That beat walmart and anywhere else in town. Love these videos. Thanks Matt

The segmented candle is interesting! Never seen those before, but what a great way to get multiple scents in one candle. I also like the design because I don't have one of those long lighters yet (been wanting one), so I currently have just one standard lighter. For similar people, it lets you light each wick safer than when all three wicks are right next to each other. The lighter gets hot and the flame from the other wicks make it harder to light all of them, especially the lower the wax goes (another great reason to indeed get a longer lighter).
