What Will $10 Buy At Aldi???

[@angelabaril104]

Hey Granny this is the way down south Granny. I save my bread bags cause they are food grade and I use them in stead of gallon zip lock. It is how I save money, makes a use of the bread sacks also.

[@sandywools2655]

That's a really good idea

[@nanar.8088]

Chicken, stuffing mix, broccoli with cream soup makes an awesome casserole

[@AlisonMeyer-ud1ix]

Our Aldi is my main place to grocery shop. We have two other grocery stores but they are extremely high in prices. I did a $10.00 challenge at our Aldi and here is what I got and the prices. One gallon of 2% milk for $2.69, 1 cucumber for .59, butter salad (lettuce) for $2.59, 1 box of fruit bars (a breakfast bar) for $2.89 and a bottle of Thousand Island salad dressing for $1.89. It totaled $10.65. No food tax here. I also watch for discount foods at Aldi because once in a while they have some things marked down to sell quickly. So I got 5 items for my total at Aldi. I know that Aldi is trying to keep their prices down as much as they can and where we live they are certainly lower than any other stores around. I have also taken chicken and boiled it and shredded it and froze it that was ready to use in recipes.

I would like to encourage your viewers to check to see if they have a senior center in their community. I no longer need to buy bread because I get it there for free. The onions and peppers in my fridge right now are from there as well, all free of charge. I just put some bananas in my freezer this morning for fruit smoothies that also came from there. Produce comes in irregularly (3-4 times a month), but they have bread available several days a week. Seldom is it sandwich sliced, but rather breads like bonilla, bratwurst buns, french loaf etc. Every little bit helps.

[@muddyshoesgardener]

Im with you. I do a type of fry bread ( recipe: Rhoda Smith). KZbin Senior. She adds dry milk. Bread or cornbread is easily found at a food pantry. Cornmeal and flour doesn’t cost much. Buying bread is not always a good deal. 🤷🏽‍♀️

Hi Granny! You did great at Aldi. To get any kind of meat and another item for $10 is amazing these days. I would love it if you'd make Onion rings and make it a video! I've made them a couple times but mine didn't turn out right. The batter was too thin I think. It was just a hot mess 😆. You could teach me what I'm doing wrong. Have a wonderful day Granny and everyone watching this.

[@carolmegginson5546]

I love the Aldi in my town. I don't buy everything there, but love their fruit, fresh vegetables, cheeses and butter, coffee and creamer, bacon. There are some things that I buy only at Aldi. Sadly, the most expensive store in town is very near my house. Sometimes I have to weigh the difference in going there for a few things vs. driving a long distance in traffic to save a little bit. Yes, everything is more expensive everywhere.

[@Livinginoz]

Yes! Aldi prices have really gone up! Aldi used to be on average, 20% cheaper than Walmart, but not anymore. Right now Aldi is about running neck to neck with Walmart Great Value prices, and in lots of instances, WM prices beat Aldi prices. I check prices on my Aldi and WM app before I shop and pay the cheapest price at both stores (my Aldi and WM are located in the same block so I’m not wasting gas by running to two different stores). I also buy on sale and markdowns at Kroger, but their regular prices are always more expensive than Aldi or WM. You have to shop smart to stretch those dollars!

[@ritaspeers1259]

Wow! You still got a lot for your money! I need to give more thought to my shopping!

Oregon here. We don't pay any retail tax. Not on food or any other item that I know of. Makes it easy to calculate the total before taking items to the cashier. I have heard that our state income tax is higher. Seems like taxes are never ending.

I like a grilled cheese sandwich and salad when the weather is hot. Only takes a couple of minutes to do in a frypan so it doesn't heat up the house.

[@wandagordon6453]

Good use of your $10! God bless you! 😀❤️

[@bhallmark3390]

You are so right--grocery prices are getting sky high, and my husband and I notice it especially because we try to buy organic fruits and vegetables, which are already higher than the non organic, plus other foods that are free from the really bad oils and chemicals. I’ve heard that prices can be cheaper on those types of food through Thrive market online, where they deliver to your doorstep. We have never tried it before so I can’t say if it’s worth it. At Aldi, I like to buy their organic, grass fed hamburger meat when it goes on sale for $3.99 per pound. You can’t beat that! Thanks for the video, Granny. It’s always good to hear from you! ❤-Brenda

[@marshanewman5602]

I do miss walking out and getting cabbage, tomatoes or lettuce or green onions from the garden. I remember getting cantelope, too.

Hi Granny and Gizmo, As I wathced this my heart just about breaks, because so many U.S. citizens are feeling the squeeze. Everything in the U.S. has skyrocketed, WHY?? We were/are the nation that feds the WORLD, now we have folks waiting and hoping to find essentials at the lowest prices. WHY?? Food pantries can't keep up with the increase of folks going there and sometimes the food pantries shelves are bare, very sad. Where are we going in the future, when will this insanity STOP. Sorry for my rant and I'm hoping and praying things get better, but who am I kidding. Please take care and be safe always. Blessings to all who view your videos. 🥰😇

I’m about to make my first aldi order tomorrow. I have so much in my cart and it’s less than $80 + I have an instacart coupon being applied so it’ll be even less. 😊 I also have a Walmart order and a few things to get from meijer. It just all depends on prices. Yes the memberships for insta and W+ are $100:year each plus delivery tips but overall it really does help price wise. Even more since I don’t have a car yet,but even if I did gas and time doesn’t compare.

[@mizg1595]

I’m on. 30 day free trial with WM. Have nearly three weeks to decide if it worth the price for home delivery. I’m leaning towards it because WM is less expensive and shopping trips wear me out.

[@Therese100109]

It seems like chicken is one of the most versatile things you can buy 😎 When I go in Aldi these days, the first thing I look at is the front where the produce on sale is - they always have some good deals, zucchini, blueberries, grapes, what have you.

[@barbaragarber3189]

Good morning. I'm from the Winston-Salem area. NC has tax on all food. The tax rate is dependent on what food you buy it will be either 2% or 7%. I was in shock when I moved here in 1995 as I moved from Ohio which didn't have tax on food. A recipe for you to try. Take 2 zucchini and 2 tomatoes, slice and layer in a casserole. Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top. The microwave for 5 minutes. Good cheap eating when zucchini and tomatoes are in season. Have a good day. Look forward to your next video.

I like black olives and use them in many dishes. Used to always buy cans of them from Aldis for .79 per can. That same can is now 1.79 and sometimes 1.89 per can. Still cheaper than Food Lion but unbelievable they had to raise prices so much!

[@judyopp7485]

Your idea of fried chicken with gravy with it just made my mouth water! Store fried chicken used to be a regular at our house (we could stretch a chicken for 3 or 4 days) but not anymore...way too expensive! French toast is another great meal from your loaf of bread...one of our comfort meals ...if you like it. Thank you for all your menu ideas...it's so easy to get in a rut cooking. Hope your legs are feeling better.

Granny Thank you for sharing your grocery haul. It is harder to save month to month. We try to use every.

[@maureenmckenna5220]

Usually, Aldi will beat anyone for the best buy for the buck. I bought eggs for .99 for a long time. Whatever they charge, it is generally less at Aldi. Of course, not everything, but a wise shopper can save lots at Aldi.

[@paulawinstead5660]

My 34 yr old is a convert to Aldi. He gets so excited when he says he saves at least $10.00 each shopping trip. He finally took my suggestion to try Aldi for the items he buys each week for his work lunches. He's happy to save 2 cents per bag of his frozen veggies and he likes them way better than Meijer or Wally worlds. 😄

[@joancoffey6566]

Hi, Granny! Great haul. I often buy that same package of chicken from Aldi's. It really goes far and it's good. The problem i have is i always pull out that white "artery " from each strip before cooking and it messes up each piece. Do you pull that out as well, or does it cook away? Seems to me it would be kind of tough to chew. Just wondering, because it really is a pain to pull them out each time. But that package is a good deal for me. Thanks for showing us what $10 can buy. You really are an inspiration!

[@VeronicaRichardson1980]

It doesn’t cook away. Some people use a fork, holding the tender with a paperwork and pulling the artery out with the fork. I’ve done it before but it’s messy. (You are correct). I stopped buying them

[@jimmiepatrum]

My Aldi in Statesville has gone up on prices too. Your fried squash and okra looked so good that for supper last night I fried squash too. It was just okay. I don't think it got enough water as it was growing. The middle where the seeds were was dried out - I've never seen it look like that. I fried it anyway, but I'm sure it was not as good as yours. Hoping for better squash next time. Stay cool today. It's going to be another hot one. Diane in NC

[@kathyleighton9091]

We don't have a food tax but I don't see where Aldis is all that great on prices. I can still get better deals on most stuff at Walmart or even our local grocery stores.

[@witsonsmom729]

I think you just need to be aware of prices and make choices accordingly. In my area, some things are cheaper at Aldi and other things at Walmart or other stores with sales. And sometimes in my area, the gas station grocery has my best deal.

I almondine that up like a fancy restaurant. I like their cauliflower pizzas too. I love their little prepared dinners when you first walk in. They use thighs. I love thighs and I use the leftover sauce on other things too. I make one of Aldi dinners those feed us 4x though because for every entree sliver ( lol ) I put 4 or 5 veggies on the plate. I want to lose 20 more lbs this summer before the cold comes in. I cannot diet in the cold weather. My North Florida winters are so brutal. LOL. Just kidding.
