- These are the top 10 things you should be buying
at Aldi this November 2022
and this month has some amazing
and unexpected finds you are going to love.
Point one begins with some pre-Thanksgiving pandemonium
and that's a result of whole Butterball turkeys
that range in weight from 16 to 22 pounds
are at an incredible price of only $1.09 per pound
which is the lowest price I've been able to find anywhere.
Even at Walmart where it's on rollback,
the price is around a $1.18 a pound.
Shoppers were practically lined up at my local Aldi
to buy turkeys at this price.
Moving on to this five quart classic stand mixer at $70
which is a decent size complete with a tilt head
and a striking resemblance to the coveted KitchenAid one.
It doesn't bring that same power
but it's a fraction of the price
and perfectly timed with Thanksgiving,
there are now two sizes of Dutch ovens
available in blue or white.
A two quart cast iron Dutch oven is $19
and its 4.6 quart larger sibling is 30.
For point two, I was both bewildered and impressed
by the number of advent calendars available at Aldi.
There's apparently an advent calendar
for every person in your family
so if your budget permits and you're feeling festive,
buckle up, here it goes.
This Beer Advent Calendar
was in so many different shopping carts
when I visited my local store.
It's $50.
This Hard Seltzer Advent Calendar is $40.
The Wine Advent Calendar you see right here is $60
building upon many of those already popular wine brands
available at Aldi.
At a much more affordable $17,
the Cheese Advent Calendar you see right here
could go a long way.
My wife Daria is a huge fan of candles
so I bought her the Candle Advent Calendar for $40
which includes 24 different candles
and could be a great gift idea.
Awesome for a kid, a teen or any Lego lover in your life,
the Lego Advent Calendar also at Aldi for $40
includes many different themes
like Harry Potter or Lego City.
Cocomelon, one of the biggest kids' YouTube channels
has a $30 advent calendar which is also the price
if someone else prefers Pokemon.
Minecraft Advent Calendars, $25.
Is there anyone we haven't covered yet?
Oh, the chocolate lover.
A 24 chocolate and truffle Advent calendar is $9
and for your four legged family members,
dog advent calendars are 7.99 and super cute.
Before I showcase one of the best deals on this entire list,
it's point three and some glorious food.
If you are looking for a different turkey variation
of what I highlighted earlier,
the Butterball smoked cooked turkeys, 2.19 per pound.
Smoked bone-in ham, a personal favorite of mine
is a $1.79 per pound and that is a $1.79 well spent.
Trust me on that.
I'm already salivating while I am speaking.
Clearly, I have personal problems.
Spiral sliced half hams are 2.49 per pound.
Mama Cozzi garlic bread loafs are a $1.95
which is also a good price.
Creamy Tomato soup is 6.59
and that same price also applies
to the very hearty looking homemade chicken noodle soup
you see right here.
Halloumi-Style Cheese Fries that you can grill flat or fry
are 3.49.
Eggplant and cheese flatbreads are 5.49.
There's also a spicy pepperoni variation
which looked very delicious
and could serve as a lovely holiday appetizer.
And finally on the food front, Bacon Wrapped Shrimp are 8.99
or bacon stuffed jalapeno with cream cheese shrimp
are an additional option for that same $9 price.
In the number four spot,
we begin with a price that had me doing a double take
tied to this buffet server with warming tray.
39.99 which is actually a really good price
for this heated buffet system
that incorporates four serving trays.
It's easy to clean
and the removable trays are dishwasher safe.
No one wants their mac and cheese to get cold
in front of their in-laws and I learned that the hard way.
If you have a smaller backyard or you live in an apartment,
this electric S'mores Maker at $35
is a cute little game changer.
You can situate all of your ingredients along the side
and use the toaster like contraption you see right here
to get that job done in style.
This Professional Dual Blender for $70
includes a regular blending jug with handle
and the separate smoothie attachment.
That's actually a good price for a two in one series.
This vintage style two quart tea kettle at $18
is another competitive price
and possibly a nice conversation piece
and unique in terms of design,
these stoneware designed storage container sets
with bamboo lids are $15
and well timed for all that holiday baking.
If you are counting down to Christmas
the way I'm counting down to Black Friday,
say hello to point five
and this LED holiday countdown sign for $10.
It comes in green or red.
I bought this for my family
mainly because I don't want my kids counting down
to Black Friday
where Christmas is a much more festive occasion.
These cakes and cookie stands
that fully demonstrate the strength of Santa are $20
and these are conveniently located beside these cookie jars
which have LED lights on the lid.
Nostalgic gnomes for $20 are ceramic
and equipped with a Christmas tree or a Santa hat
and if you're really into gnomes like my Aunt Merle,
oversized gnomes are available for $25
and these are plush so they could sit on a shelf
or a mantle or you could cradle them in your arms at night
if you don't want to use it as a decor piece.
LED ceramic gingerbread houses are $15
and I love whoever took over
all of all these Christmas products
and is randomly selecting items
that just have LEDs tied to them for no apparent reason.
It makes me happy.
Vintage metal holiday vehicles at 12.99
might remind some of you of your childhood.
I particularly like the station wagon
with the Christmas tree on top.
It might be worthy of a grab.
And finally from the Christmas section,
these four piece holiday bathroom sets are $18
and they could make a lovely gift.
You get two Christmas themed towels,
a bath rug and a soap dispenser.
Before things take a seriously cozy turn, it's point six
and the vanilla or chocolate Biscotti Gelato Sandwiches
at 2.69 were basically built for the back of my car
and I mean that in a good way.
For those of you who watch me regularly,
my trunk is my sweet spot
for enjoying delicious desserts just like this
because I can't wait to try them before I get home.
These were delicious and amazing.
If you prefer your gelato in a more traditional preparation,
the assorted gelato flavors you see right here at 4.29
include flavors like caramel cookie crunch
and triple chocolate.
Protein Cinnamon French Toast Sticks are 4.49
and these are great as I figure since the product marketing
includes the word protein, this is basically health food
or you can work out
and then eat your Protein Cinnamon French Toast afterwards.
And for further evidence
that this is not a health food channel,
I picked up this tub of mini eclairs for 5.89
and this is a dessert I certainly do not regret sampling.
I experienced a heightened form of bliss with every bite.
If you're expecting unwanted holiday guests,
you won't want to miss the later part of this video
but first, for point seven, if you want to be comfortable
while still appearing put together
for any type of holiday gathering,
jeggings are available in a classic blue or black jean color
as well as this lovely green for 9.99.
At that same palatable price point,
these cardigan wraps are also 9.99.
To the touch, the fabric feels high quality
and while you may look like you are wearing a cape
if you buy this, you can feel like a superhero
for finding such a plush comfortable product to wear.
For under $10, go you.
A two pack of soft fuzzy slipper socks are 4.99.
Again, two pairs, four socks total for $5.
Available in two style variations,
genuine suede slippers with an Ugg-like lining are 12.99.
I almost picked these up
but my local Aldi did not carry my size.
Cable knit throws that not only looked really nice close up
but were also displayed beautifully in Aldi
to the point where they felt more like a home store
than a grocery store when I encountered them.
$19 for a 50 by 60 inch throw.
And finally, for a cozy festive wintertime,
flannel sheet sets available in holiday patterns
and Christmas designs are 16 to $20
depending upon the size of your bed.
For point eight,
almost every product is under $15 and that's $15 well spent
if you're buying this roasting pan with rack.
This can handle a turkey up to 30 pounds
with a 9.5 quart capacity.
That is a solid price.
And when you're ready to carve up that turkey,
this oversized bamboo cutting board, $12
with a large groove for capturing liquids.
This cutting board is also very thick.
This Cast Iron Oval Baker
is the most expensive part of point eight at $25
but this could handle anything
from an apple crisp to pork chops, even a casserole
and how better to handle that cast iron baker
than with these heat resistant oven gloves which are $5.
They're made from a heat resistant material
apparently used by firefighters.
Unclear if that's for cooking or saving lives
but they are heat resistant up to 500 degrees.
This baking pan set at $14 is available in black or gold
and it's a deep dish baking pan set
that includes a square and rectangular pan.
This made in the USA three piece glass baking dish set
for $15 would be wonderful for anything
from a pot roast to a lasagna.
It includes a small, medium and large glass dish.
If you are making a multitude of desserts this season
and you need some cooling space,
a three piece cooling rack set at $10
is competitively priced.
This 10 inch cast iron skillet at $10 has a handle
and if you are really looking to impress your guests
and you're not limited on a budget,
cast iron cookware perfect for personalized portions.
They're adorable.
A mini Dutch oven, a mini grill or a mini fry pan
could all be used throughout the season and beyond.
For my next point, if you enjoy a meal in bed
or you just want to amp up the self-care this season,
the rattan bed tray you see right here is $25.
It has folding legs for easy storage
and it's made of a durable pine frame.
The alternative version is comprised of acacia wood
in this bed tray with feet is $18.
The oversized woven baskets you see right here are $50
but they are huge.
They could hold multiple blankets, pillows, toys, gifts
or any of those advent calendars
I showed you earlier on in the video.
A 48 by 72 inch faux fur rug is $50
and this wood bench at 80 is a beautiful looking piece
possibly justifying the high price
if you need something for an entryway to your home
or even at the end of a bed.
It has a nice modern aesthetic.
For my next point
before I get to a jam-packed bonus section,
it's a back in stock 1200 watt portable patio heater
for $70.
This is a slightly different design
from what I found and featured last year.
It's brilliant for extending the enjoyment
of your deck or patio.
It can also work indoors as well as out
and it's apparently water resistant to an extent
although I highly recommend
keeping water away from your patio heaters.
If the cold weather generally plagues your vehicles,
car or SUV covers are $20
and they protect your whole vehicle
not just the windshield from frost, snow or dirt.
It's kind of like a gigantic throw
for your four wheeled family members.
For kids or pets, large retractable gates are $40.
This is a twist and release operation with a nice design.
These are 41 inches tall.
If you live in a climate
where you will be greeting many guests wearing coats,
this modern coat rack for $50 has different uses.
It could even accommodate a top hat.
One day, I would like to wear a top hat
and I'm okay sharing that with you all.
From coat racks to this roll up dish rack for $10
which could also function as a trivet
and get ready for ingeniousness,
this collapsible dish rack for $10
compresses and folds for easy storage.
I love this.
And with the wintertime and potentially drier air
in your neck of the woods,
ultrasonic cool mist humidifiers are $35 with a nice black
and I love this marbled like design.
It has an auto shutoff.
And if you're searching for a kid's version, for $5 more,
you can buy them a fox or sheep cool mist humidifier for $40
although I kinda feel like these should cost $5 less,
not more but anyhow, I don't set the prices.
And now for the bonus section.
The holidays often mean both wanted and unwanted guests,
many of whom might actually try and sleep over.
This four in one queen air bed at $30 is 18 inches in height
and it has a built-in pump.
I always recommend not having a comfortable couch
or a guest room
and in the event a guest that you like wants to sleep over,
you pull out the queen air bed.
For everyone else, you keep quiet.
The kids travel bed set you see right here at $40
is more like a cot for the younger kids in your family
and if you're frugal like I am
with many hotels charging for cots,
if you are putting your whole family into one hotel room,
this is fantastic to travel with.
Modern string lights are 12.49
with this unique farmhouse like design
or if the hammered style is more your preference,
that's also available.
Continuing with that illumination theme for a moment,
these new very premium looking candles are $10.
These could certainly bring the ambiance.
I bought one called Peppered Vanilla and Cashmere
which sounds completely ridiculous.
It's really weird but it smells good.
There's also these coffee candles at $8
and these are a dupe of the Rae Dunn design
you might associate with TJ Maxx or HomeGoods.
And with that, my Aldi list is complete.
Thank you for essentially completing my life
by watching these videos.
I love you, bye bye.
