- These are the top 10 things you should be
buying at Aldi this September.
Welcome back to the channel.
I'm excited to have you here.
I'm the YouTube Deal Guy, Matt Granite.
I'm gonna bring you inside my local Aldi
and show you some incredible finds
that include outdoor mosaic string lights,
fall-themed food, including maple brown sugar cakes,
and even a pack of two of the most luxurious pillow cases
I've ever touched for under six bucks.
If you guys do enjoy this content,
please feel free to give this video a thumbs up,
share it with any other fellow Aldi shoppers.
Before I get to all of the food
and some great finds for your home,
the first thing you should be buying at Aldi this month
is actually a selection of tech accessories.
And I'll show you what I bought and brought home.
The flexible surge protector you see right here.
For $16.99, is a surge protector that's moldable.
It's kind of worm-like, easy to position.
It's widely spaced for large adapters,
so this would be great in an office,
an entertainment or multimedia room.
The mini power strips you see right here at $9.99,
are a two-pack, so we get a two-pack for under 10 bucks.
Three outlets, it sits beautifully under a desk,
would also be great in a small office.
The three-pack of fabric extension cords
you see right here are also $9.99.
These are woven, they're flexible cords,
and you get three outlets per cord.
I was also very impressed by this rolling duffel bag.
You see it right here for $19.99.
I bought it, I brought it home.
It comes in multiple colors.
I'd say this is great for transporting stuff
from one house to another, good for the holidays.
I bought a gray one with a lime green handle,
more for road trips than perhaps air travel,
but we're heading out to San Antonio for a couple of days,
right when I finish this video,
and this will be the perfect thing
that I'll use on that trip, very high quality.
Before I get to the string and solar lighting options
and the number two spot of what you should be
buying at Aldi this September,
Halloween candy galore, with selections
that start at $1.99 and go all the way to $19.54.
So what do you get for $1.99? Things like candy corn.
And for the almost $20 offerings,
you're gonna find giant assorted Halloween chocolate
and candy bags that have 250 pieces.
So almost a bulk buy on par with
what you would see at a warehouse club.
And the pricing is at least within $2 to $3
of what you would find at Sam's or Costco
if you don't have a membership to shop there.
And if you've ever purchased candles from Aldi before,
you'll know they're very high quality,
and the fall scent's at $5.99 or $6.99,
include items that I would never pair together,
like Citrus Clove,
which kind of just smelled like Halloween.
Or Fireside and Fig, again, the concept of a fireside smoke
and a fig, never would put that together.
Alternatively, these nice painted ceramic candles look great
and include scents I understand, like Sugar Almond Cookie.
And then things I don't understand like Harvest Skies
and Cedar Oakwood.
Anyhow, moving on, in the number three spot
of what you should be buying at Aldi this month,
the outdoor string lights are phenomenal,
including this mosaic 10-pack.
I've never seen anything like this before at Aldi.
It kind of looks like those Edison filament bulbs
with a mosaic pattern.
And again, 10 of these are under 15 bucks.
If you're looking for more lights
or more of your standard Edison string light,
the option you see right here for a 20-pack at $14.99
is also great for outdoor use.
There's a five-pack of solar disc lights for $19.99.
It comes with a stake, sits in the ground.
I have seen similar models as well at Sam's Club and Costco,
but these are competitive prices.
And while I didn't get a chance
to test these particular ones,
I've never had an issue with any LED string light
or solar light purchase I've made from Aldi.
In the number four spot, it's all fall foods,
including an explanation of why I got a stomach ache.
And that was testing them.
And it was a happy stomach ache.
But let's begin with the cinnamon apple straws, $2.19.
These are essentially potato chips
in the shape of a French fry.
They are surprisingly delicious.
The pumpkin cheesecake caramel corn for $2.99,
if you love pumpkin and cheesecake and caramel corn.
The pumpkin spice yogurt pretzels
you see right here are new, $1.99.
And the cinnamon and brown sugar potato chips at $2.49,
sounded very enticing to me.
I was excited so I bought them.
I will conclude they're a unique flavor.
When I think of a potato chip,
they're usually savory and salty,
but these were sweet potato chips.
So not necessarily something I would stock up on,
but if the concept of a sweet potato chip appeals to you,
this could work.
The jumbo pumpkin rolls with pumpkin icing at $2.99,
are essentially a cinnamon roll with pumpkin icing.
Delicious.
The pumpkin sliced loaf cake at $3.29 is pre-sliced.
And the pumpkin pie you see right here for $2.49
is not as big as something you would see
from a warehouse club, but it looked delicious,
and an employee actually stopped me
to say how great this tasted.
The apple cider donuts.
I knew I had to try these out of the trunk of my car.
It's a full-size cinnamon doughnut
with an apple cider sprinkle.
It was not overwhelming in terms of apple flavor,
so if you do enjoy apple cinnamon on a more subtle basis,
this might appeal to you.
And finally,
before I move on to some cool outdoor furniture,
the Cheerio Pumpkin Spice limited edition box,
you see right here, $2.49.
In the number five spot,
I'm taking a break from food, we'll get back to that,
the two-person outdoor swing you see right here
for under 100 bucks.
If you love swing chairs
and you have some more fall weather to enjoy,
this has a 500-pound weight capacity.
It's a covered swing, and I really love this.
The umbrella side table you see right here for $41.99,
if you have a nice outdoor area and you want a table
with some storage options, these are solid.
It will accommodate an umbrella that you may already own.
Or if you watched one of my prior Aldi videos,
there were umbrellas available at Aldi,
which would fit perfectly into this table.
I wish they sold them both at the same time.
But anyhow, the woven folding chairs you see right here,
$12.99, really high quality.
They come in black or white with two different designs.
There are some folding chairs at Ikea,
which are a dollar or two less,
but I like the Americana theme you see right here,
as well as the gray and white one.
And then something I went to great lengths to show you,
the 29-liter flexible tub you see right here for $4.99,
was extremely difficult to pull apart
so I could actually remove them and separate them
and show it to you on camera.
But once I spend six minutes trying to accomplish that task
and dropping my smartphone briefly,
I will tell you that these are a nice design.
They're very deep, great for storing toys or outdoor games.
Who's ready for more food? That's right, you are.
All right, here we go.
In the number six spot,
let's begin with real fruit Dippin' Dots.
If you enjoy Dippin' Dots as I have
for most of my adult life,
these strawberry 'n' cream,
or chocolate with real fruit Dippin' Dots at $4.99,
are ingenious as far as I'm concerned,
because they are with real fresh fruit.
And I did try these out of my vehicle.
A combination of that older Dippin' Dot
that you might know and love, now with the real fruit,
perhaps healthier, I have no idea.
But I did enjoy it. It was outstanding.
The Rose Cones you see right here
available in chocolate, hazelnut or strawberry at $3.49,
look like those fizzy things
you're supposed to drop in your bath.
But anyhow, this is a fancier dessert option,
maybe for a more upscale dinner party
or for feeling fancy alone on a Friday night,
which reminds me of college.
The maple brown sugar cake you see right here, $3.49.
I brought this home because I knew I had to try this.
It tasted like an extremely decadent cinnamon roll.
It's hard to believe it was actually frozen
and something that I heated up in a microwave
because I would have assumed something this good
comes from one of those beautiful cornerstone bakeries.
Anyhow, brown sugar, awesome to support the caramel syrup
onto it after microwaving it for 30 seconds.
Delicious.
The cinnamon cake you see right here,
yep, bought that as well, $3.99.
It is sublime.
I want to thank an ingenious store associate
who told me that I had to buy this, very moist.
And the caramel apple pie you see right here at $3.89.
Smaller than a standard sized pie.
I did not try this because at this point
I had already achieved some form of happy stomach ache
from eating 11 different desserts,
some of which didn't even make the cut for this video.
In the number seven spot,
you can tell how much sugar I've had
before I made this video.
Anyhow, I apologize if I'm a little bit more loud
or obnoxious than usual.
But let's move on to cleaning products.
The high quality bamboo broom or mop you see right here
for $9.99, a sturdy high quality.
You get your choice of a microfiber mop or a broom head.
The first microfiber mop head I picked up
looked like someone had actually used it
and somehow brought it back to the store.
It was dirty.
But if you can see from the second one I found,
it was clean, beautiful,
and ready to take on more cleaning tasks.
I do like the price.
The peel and stick wall tiles you see right here, $14.99.
I have seen something like this at Dollar Tree,
but this one is more high quality.
It came in a marble design and a subway tile,
great if you want to give a bathroom a bit of a facelift
or a make-over or a boost to a backsplash in your kitchen.
The portable lap desk you see right here for $8.99,
has a holder for a tablet or an iPad and palm rests.
The cushions come in multiple different colors.
The home folding step stool you see right here for $7.99.
I did buy this.
I am going to set it up for my three-year-old daughter
so she can reach the sink when she brushes her teeth.
But this would be great for anyone
that wants a bit of a step stool
or a way to reach cabinets a little bit higher up
in your kitchen for eight bucks.
In the number eight spot,
now that we've done the desserts, let's head back to dinner.
I kind of wished that's how life was sometimes,
desserts and then dinner.
But the four cheese pizza melt you see right here, $3.50,
is something you can put in the microwave.
It's basically a grilled cheese with a pizza sauce.
The new pizza, Buffalo style,
or bacon cheeseburger pizza options for $4.19
are two new Aldi flavors.
And if you frequently buy pizza at Aldi,
you know how good it is.
If you are looking for something a little bit more healthy,
the organic pizza, spinach and feta,
or roasted vegetable combination you see right here,
for $4.99, is a thinner crust pizza.
The shrimp fried rice or Kung Pao noodles, $8.99 cents,
is a 12-minute skillet kit.
The sweet and sour chicken or Mongolian beef for $5.99,
also looked delicious.
But I decided, since I love sampling mac and cheese bites,
that I was going to buy the new mac and cheese bites
you see right here for $3.99.
Comes in Buffalo chicken or bacon.
These were really good when I brought them home to try.
Not an overwhelming flavor,
despite what you might anticipate.
So if you are looking to make something in the air fryer
that I bought from Aldi in my last video,
or just quickly get these into your stomach for a meal
that can fill you up for under four bucks, I was impressed.
Not so subtle in terms of flavor,
if you love Reuben sandwiches, these are Reuben bites.
$7.99, I also bought these and made them in the air fryer.
They're miniature bites.
So corned beef, sauerkraut, comes with a dipping sauce.
Amazing.
The seasoned meatloaf you see right here,
available in the barbecue or traditional home-style option
for $7.99, solid.
And the dozen gourmet beef tamales
you see packaged right here.
I really like the packaging.
It's not your typical frozen food packaging.
Could possibly work as a gift.
You get a pack of 12 for $6.99.
In the number nine spot of what you should be
buying at Aldi this month,
great options for your four-legged family members.
And the pet finds at Aldi this September in particular,
were very high quality.
The sofa friendly pet bed, $19.99.
Good for a smaller dog.
The travel pet bed you see right here, great concept.
It hooks into your car, straps right on in,
it looked quite secure, very soft,
and water resistant, $16.99 cents.
The padded crate mat you see right here at the same price,
if your dog sleeps in a crate or is crate trained.
Appears to be quite thick and durable.
The pet grooming kit you see right here for $24.99,
if you are brave enough to groom your pet at home,
as we've tried in the past,
and my in-laws do on a regular basis.
This comes with a variety of tools,
accessories and a carrying case.
Randomly, pet pools for $3.
Not sure if this is something you can use this time of year,
but it's a mini pool for your dog.
And the pet drying towel outfit
you see right here for $6.99,
is an outfit you can put on your dog that's also a towel.
We have one for our three-year-old,
obviously not the pet version,
but when my three-year-old gets out of the bath,
she has these dinosaurs
and all these other cool towel shapes
that also dry her off in style.
So I didn't mean that we used pet products on our kid,
but hopefully you followed that.
In the number 10 spot, before I get to some great bonus buys
that you can also find at Aldi this month,
this two-pack satin pillowcase offering for $5.99,
is extremely popular right now.
You are able to find this at your local store,
grab it while it's in stock.
Leave me a comment if you're able to grab
and try this, faux silk, extremely soft, luxurious.
And again, a two-pack
for under six bucks is an insane price.
The memory foam knee pillow you see right here for $9.99.
If you sleep with your knees together,
this is a great spinal-friendly pillow, very plush.
There's a seven-piece complete bedding set,
giant packages ready for queen or king
that include comforters, bed skirts,
two pillow shams, three decorative pillows,
and all available in two different designs.
This is great for your primary bedroom, a spare bedroom.
Very impressive for under 40 bucks.
The cushion grip bathmat you see right here for $4.99,
is something that I didn't pick up and buy
because we already have one.
But this felt soft, a sort of cushiony plush,
rubber suction cups, skid-resistant,
machine washable, and mildew-resistant.
The collapsible zip storage box
you see right here for $6.99.
This was something I also wanted to buy and try
before I recommended it.
It's available in multiple different colors
and a great way to store seasonal items
you might not need just yet.
And now for the bonus section of favorite finds
at Aldi this month, these are sort of the random,
harder to categorize products.
But the felt pads you see right here,
100 felt pads that you can put
under your chair and table legs for $4.99.
We recently bought a new house, which we're in right now,
and we'd love to protect our new floors.
And alternatively, if you don't want those sticky felt pads,
there are the ones that you can screw in,
which are a 16-piece set for $4.99, alternatively.
The wireless mouse and keyboard set you see right here
for $16.99, appear to be high quality,
and I have had success with some of the mouse pads
and keyboards I've tried in the past from Aldi.
The Mr. Coffee coffee press you see right here for $9.99.
Great brand name, high quality,
good for the more serious coffee drinker in your household.
The Wahlburgers Wahl Sauce, $3.49.
If you're unfamiliar with Mark Wahlberg's burger chain,
I recently had a chance to try one of the burgers
at an airport, good burgers, but I will say awesome sauce.
And this is something that you can now take home
and enjoy that on your own.
If you prefer White Castle burgers,
you can get a six-pack for $3.88.
These are sliders and oh, can't go wrong with those.
Or a five-pound box of chicken breasts, $14.99.
Again, a five-pound box for under 15 bucks.
Now that I think about it, ending with the box
of chicken breasts is kind of anticlimactic.
But I hope you enjoyed all of the other parts of the video.
I want to thank you guys so much for watching.
If you have other Aldi finds that you think
I might have missed, please leave me a comment.
Please feel free to give this video a thumbs up,
subscribe, turn your notifications on.
Thank you for watching.
Sorry about all the sugar and how quickly I spoke.
It certainly has an impact on you.
All right.
Bye-bye.
