Come into ALDI with me see what I bought for a week of groceries for my family of 5. I always use items from my pantry/freezer as well. I share my dinner meal plan at the end.
Also, I do NOT buy my groceries exclusively at ALDI, but they’re the first place I try and my favorite to shop at.
Recipes:
Old Fashioned Noodle Soup:
This is a family favorite and a family recipe:
1 large white onion, diced
12 oz Salt Pork
7-8 large russet potatoes, diced
8 cups water (6 to begin, 2 later)
Brown diced salt pork, add in onion. Sautee together. When onions are translucent, add in 6 cups water and the potatoes. Heavily pepper (to taste). Simmer for an hour or two. I love to make this portion in the morning and let is go for a long time!
Eventually (at least after an hour) bring to a boil. While its starting to boil prepare noodles.
Noodles:
2 ½ cups all purpose flour
3 large eggs
Pulse in food processor, add water to get to pliable consistency (amount will depend on climate in kitchen…. I usually do a slow drizzle from a tablespoon)
Roll onto floured surface, cut into preferred sizes (these will expand). Drop into boiling soup, boil for a bit and then reduce heat and simmer until ready to eat. I prefer to do this as long as possible too. Low and slow wins for this recipe. Salt at the end (I usually add roughly ½-1 tsp)
Black Bean Soup (I don’t usually follow a recipe, but something like this): https://pin.it/6Hd2MF0ex
Crusty Bread: https://pin.it/UXzqyQ6Mj
Roasted Cauliflower: https://pin.it/1wHm5tasb
Alfredo: https://pin.it/5OtWk7566
Greek Chicken (I use this recipe’s marinade, but make it with just chicken breast and red onion): https://pin.it/7HFwIPM0D
Greek Bowls: have a spread of rice, cauliflower rice, Greek dressing, beets, feta, kalamata olives, red onion, chicken, kale, hummus, grape tomatoes, tzatziki (I completely forgot this!!) naan bread – everyone makes plate/bowls with desired toppings. For me that’s everything!

FYI, when buying asparagus, always get thicker stalks, the thinner are tasteless. As far as feta cheese, never buy pre crumbled, always whole in a brine. Nutmeg, buy it whole, it's cheaper and you get more of the authentic flavor from it.
My army soldier 🪖🥾🥾 boyfriend is a. Veteran and i always wish him Happy Veterans Day! To him..he is retired lieutenant of the army military!!!…… Great grocery haul and meal plan Jackie 😊❤…. Late i just got back from grocery shopping 🛍️
There's peppermint tea at my Aldi's. See if you can find it. It's cheaper. =)
I think it’s great how you support someone who’s a vegetarian. Showing my age but if you didn’t eat what was on the table, you did without.

Hi Jackie! Add red pepper flakes before baking the pizza. It makes a world of difference.
Greetings from California! I enjoy and appreciate your weekly hauls! Thank you!
We don't like meijer brand waffles
Jacks ❤❤❤
Hi Jackie, That was so nice of you to recognize our Veterans on Veterans Day. My husband is an Army Veteran. I do enjoy your videos. What is puppy chow?
When you said your son said that pizza tasted like apples, I thought you said something else. I had to go back and watch it again!!!🤣😂🤣😂
Hello Jackie, Thank You For Sharing Your Grocery Haul. Thanks For recognizing The Veterans. My Sweet Husband Was A Veteran. He Has Passed But I Still Wish Him A Happy Veterans Day In Heaven. Your Grocery Hauls Are Great. Mielas Spaghetti Bake Sounds Delicious. God Bless You And All Of Your Family And Fur Babies Too.👍👍👍😋✌️✌️✌️🙏🙏🙏
You show great mark downs from your Aldi, but there aren't much at all at my Aldi. poor place I guess. Me not you!!!!!
Love that the asparagus is wrapped, bummed that my aldis doesn’t carry the LiveGFree corn bread mix
Love the video tfs what's at Aldi real sweet of you to recognize the veterans God bless
Great haul! Love the fact that you're already finding a lot of good holiday products and are creating a layout/buying products that represent a whole range of palettes so that everyone can partake. Next week there's set to be eve n more products released!
Can't wait to see what you think about them!
I had asked u last week if aldi sells kahula, aldi brand..u never answered me
There was a recall on some waffles so maybe that’s why Aldi was out
The aisle of shame really took my money today lol. Great video 👍
You make me dizzy with your filming
You got some good things this week even if it wasn't on your list.
I buy my freeze-dried fruit at Dollar Tree by the case and have it delivered to my store, no charge. They also have several varies of fruit. Each bag is one serving with 0.6 oz (17gr) so seems a little better that Aldi. It is non-gmo, no preservatives, gluten free. They usually have quite a bit in the stores so I tried it before it in large amounts. I really like it and so do my Morkies, Emmie & Hattie;)
Aldi has really good peppermint tea bags, and it's cheaper than Meijer. I like Meijer’s pomegranate blueberry acai tea.
Most of the food on the meal plan would make me barf
Gross
Sam's: Freeze Dried Strawberries, $2.66/oz, $7.98 for 3oz. A bit less at Sam's.
I use the Head and Shoulders and love it.
The last I heard Aldi's waffles were recalled.
When i was having issues with my eczema, my Dr told me to use Selsun Blue original only
Hi, Would you mind elaborating on what else you use coconut oil for?
Yummy
I bought the basil cubes last week at Aldi's I will be stocking up next time
enjoy your videos very much
Love the variety in your meal plan and the fact that you have one! When I was feeding our family, I planned meals by the day and it wasn’t always easy! Wish I had done this instead. ❤️
What is your daughter’s reasons for becoming veg? Just curious.
Can u possibly do a video on how to make puppy chow? I read the comments and looks like it’s some kind of trail mix, sounds good
Great grocery haul! Thanks!
Love watching your videos.My Aldi is a ton more expensive than yours..
Sams club has freeze dried strawberries. They are by the bulk packs of chips in my store
Our Sams club has the freeze dried strawberries in a large package , I’ve never seen them at Costco though
