- These are the top 10 things you should be buying
at Aldi this June 2022,
and this month's huge deals
maybe some of Aldi's best yet.
In the first spot,
it's a two pack of tiki torches that are solar.
Yeah, that's right.
Solar tiki torches.
This got me excited.
I bought them.
I wanted to test out the quality
before I made any recommendations.
They're of course weather resistant.
They have that flickering flame effect
as you can see right here,
and as you'd expect,
they turn on at dusk,
they turn off at dawn.
25 bucks for two.
Similar to a more expensive stainless steel,
portable fire pit that's making its rounds
through the warehouse clubs.
This beauty right here is 200 bucks.
It comes with a carry bag
and reduces up to 70% of the smoke it emits.
Now, as a more budget-friendly alternative,
this outdoor gas fire pit
that you see right here for 85 bucks is smaller.
It's a more traditional design.
It comes complete with the rocks.
It has a lid.
If you're short on space for camping a balcony,
or in my case, trying to impress my wife
with a s'mores night,
this single use portable campfire
is 15 bucks for a two pack.
You get up to a four hour burn ready to go
right out of the tin.
I don't believe I've ever seen
a First Alert branded waterproof fire safe
for just 27 bucks.
So I wanted to test the actual build quality.
It's apparently fireproof for up to 30 minutes,
completely waterproof when fully submerged.
I'm using this right now in my office
as a way to secure our passports
and my daughter Mara's most valuable jewelry.
That could be $27 well spent.
In the number two spot,
if you want to increase air circulation
in a hot bedroom or a small office,
this twin window fan with remote control is just 35 bucks
and ode to something that was more common in the eighties.
It now has an updated design
and expands to fit the window surrounding it.
I also found this two-in-one cordless stick vacuum
for 80 bucks,
and I wanted to buy and try it,
not only because I was intrigued by its unique hinge design,
but I was thinking, "How could this be 80 bucks
with all the accessories and the LED headlights?"
So I wanted to construct my own version
of a QVC granola vacuum pickup test,
and I'm glad I did.
Here's what I can tell you.
Its suction: not that great as a cordless stick vac,
but when you remove the detachable mini vacuum,
it actually performs brilliantly.
So that could work in your car,
but you kind of get what you pay for
if you're using it only as a cordless stick vac.
And for something more budget friendly,
I also purchased this Huntington Home spin sweeper
for 13 bucks.
Kind of like the underside of a common robo vac,
the electric rotating brushes help bring the dirt
to the center,
and with a built in dust pan,
it almost doubles as a vacuum.
Good value on that one.
And the steam cleaner,
which I purchased last year.
It's back in stock for 25 bucks.
Fantastic at removing dirt and grime.
And this also received a lot of positive feedback from you:
my wonderful frugal family.
For the product that begins point three,
it might have some controversy surrounding it
because I'm sure there's all sorts of household tricks
to keep guac fresh longer.
Why would you necessarily need a guacamole keeper set?
But, this Crofton system at $9 promises
to significantly expand the life of your guac
by several days, I know there's things you can do
with the pit or a lime or a lemon,
but there is a smaller version of this product
that works for guac, salsa,
and many other types of food prep storage.
If you don't want to use the oil and vinegar set
with bamboo stand for its intended purpose,
at $8 right here, this two pack with base
could work with sauce, salad dressing,
and as a pouring vessel for other types of liquid.
This eight piece glass mixing bowl set at $17 caught my eye.
It's available in gray or multicolored
where you score the four piece bowls and silicone lids.
A very nice size for the bowls.
Not a bad price.
I also thought these Crofton sauce pans with pots
priced from 9.49 to $14 were worth acknowledging.
And then finally to keep my cereal fresh
before my next vacuum test, #dadjoke,
these large sealed cereal containers are 5.29 each.
If you are looking to buy them in a multi-pack,
you might save more by purchasing from Amazon.
Point four is worth every penny
and I don't throw that around lightly.
Beginning with the six pack of Italian ice
you see right here.
2.65 for the six pack made with real fruit juices.
I enjoyed this from the trunk of my car on a really hot day.
Extremely refreshing.
Now sticking with that sub $3 dessert pricing for a moment,
who remembers the two stick popsicles?
I remember these from my childhood in this 18 pack
of assorted Twin Pops with two popsicle sticks
so you can split it,
or in my case, just enjoy both.
$2 and 38 cents for 18.
I was really excited
to see the FatBoy branded caramel praline ice-cream cones
at 4.89,
and you can bet I enjoyed this premium greatness
from the back of my car.
I was busy sampling some other desserts
before I got to the ice-cream,
so I apologize that it's melting while I shot this,
and you have this slightly disgusting visual,
but it tastes great.
And finally, packages of M&M
or Snickers ice-cream cones are 4.49.
With Snickers being one of my favorite chocolate bars,
this surpassed my every dessert expectation.
And for those of you wondering,
"How does it feel to consume Italian ice
followed by popsicles
followed by ice-cream
and more ice-cream?"
It feels sensational,
and I don't regret one second of it.
Point five:
patio heaters.
The propane patio heater you see right here for 150 bucks
is of particular importance to showcase the power of Aldi.
This video is not sponsored.
Aldi is not paying me to talk about them,
but this patio heater at Aldi has the same 46,000 BTU rating
as Sam's and Costco,
and it's the exact same price.
It's on wheels.
It's stainless steel,
and you do not need a membership to buy this.
The four piece conversation set
that you see right here for 200 bucks
is another competitive price.
This includes three chairs
with one chair being more like a love seat
and a coffee table.
The wicker patio chairs with a cushion could work
as a standalone or compliment
to that conversation set I just showed you.
This is 85 bucks.
A glass bird bath with stand for 25
has that big, bold design and different vibrant colors,
including this peacock.
Very nicely constructed.
And if needed, this plant
or feeder hanger for five bucks
allows for the easy hanging of bird feeders,
lanterns, or wind chimes
and holds up to six pounds.
Again, not bad for $5.
In a few moments, I'll present a food item
that made me feel deeply conflicted,
plus some great storage items.
But first, for point six,
this cordless edge trimmer at 50 bucks includes a battery
and could work as a father's day gift.
In particular, if you want your dad
or your husband to take care of your edging needs.
There's also a flower guard to protect your flowers
or lawn fixtures,
which will be needed.
If my wife asks me to put this to use,
I am horrible with this.
And if you are me, I would also avoid
the foldable saw horse two pack for 50 bucks.
I've been banned from operating saws in my backyard,
but I am flagging this for the many women and men
watching this video who would not be at risk
if they use this.
There are some exciting bicycle accessories for seven bucks,
including a cell phone holder.
A 10-in-1 bike multi-tool set.
A bike water bottle holder,
and a backpack-friendly minibike pump.
Adult or kids bike helmets with LED flashers on the back:
$19.
And for summer grilling
or as we count down to July 4th,
flat or wok grill toppers are 10 bucks.
And my beloved grill or bake mats
that we frequently use in our home are $4 and 89 cents.
For point seven,
I'm both perplexed, intrigued and concerned
with this next food item.
It's the Rosati's crispy thin crust,
marketed as authentic Chicago pizza,
for seven bucks.
I went to school in Chicago.
I lived in Chicago,
and nothing tied to this thin crust pizza
makes me think of Chicago
or their pizza.
So I refuse to buy this out of protest,
but it does look delicious.
Have you tried it?
How do you feel about it?
Let me know in the comments.
Chicken marsala,
or if you prefer, chicken parmigiana,
5.79,
and you get three servings.
This Grill Master Collection box at $65
would make a fantastic
and very generous father's day present.
It includes steaks burgers, pork chops, and grilled chicken.
This is a very generously sized assortment
of more than seven pounds of high quality meat.
Also, I just released a poll on my YouTube channel inquiring
as to your favorite grilled and barbecue items,
and I foolishly omitted ribs.
Following a massive public outcry,
out of solidarity,
I am now going to eat ribs for dinner,
which I happen to love.
And I'm including these pork baby back ribs
for $9 as part of point seven.
I'm sorry,
and you're welcome.
Now, for point eight,
there's a new collection of laundry decor
and storage items for 10 bucks.
This is actually interesting.
There's a pocket change storage jar
for all of those times I find loose change
in one of our pockets
and my face lights up.
I can now use this decor piece
as a personal trophy
and a way to save for something special.
There's even a decor piece
that serves as a dryer sheet holder.
The lost sock hanger
is both useful and cute as a pinboard
to keep the mystery sock
until you finally find its significant other.
And this lint bin for your dryer
can either be hung or mounted via the magnet on its back.
A two pack of laundry bags for your delicates for $4.
My wife taught me how to wash my sneakers
in one of these bags
to keep the laces intact.
You probably already knew that,
but I was mesmerized.
I like these cable management boxes.
You can score two of these floor cable management systems
for 10 bucks
or the tabletop version I purchased for 10 bucks,
which allows you to dock your tablet while you charge.
I'm now using this,
and I think it's fantastic.
There is no segue to the next item
other than this sound.
That's right.
I smashed an item inadvertently all over the floor,
and I cut myself.
Usually, when I shoot, I have all of these close calls,
but this time I actually broke a candle.
I caused a scene.
The store employees were very nice.
I offered to pay for the candle,
they wouldn't let me,
but despite the damage and out of guilt,
I'm going to include this large luxury candle
on my list for $10,
primarily out of guilt.
I did buy this.
I'm going to regift this to my mom.
And while I was exiting the broken candle disaster zone,
one of the largest candles I've ever seen in my life
is this giant luxury centerpiece candle for 30 bucks,
which puts the other one to shame,
and I assume the burn time on this one is eternity.
I will feature some undeniably refreshing items
in a few moments,
but first, for my next point,
this folding web chair at 25 bucks caught my eye
because these are extremely popular right now.
I wanted to test the quality and I opted for the blue one.
It's nice, it's comfortable,
and I'm happy I bought it.
There's also a nice selection of rugs
that you can use both inside or out for 20 bucks.
This one right here is six by nine and stain resistant.
This five by seven washable area rug is 50 bucks.
It can also be cleaned in a laundry machine,
and one other feature,
no rug pad is required.
This is equipped with grippers.
How nice is that?
And although not particularly interesting,
but if you need one,
all season doormats are 10 bucks
of a higher quality and a larger size
than what you would find at a dollar store.
They're available in a square or semi-circle design.
For my next point, under no circumstances
would I purchase this next product
following the number of desserts I consumed this week,
but the body analysis scale at 15 bucks
shows you all the information I don't wanna see right now,
like my BMI, my muscle mass,
where I'm still kind of lacking,
and my daily calorie intake
where I am definitely an overachiever
in that category.
Either way, for when I am trying
to take care of myself this summer,
the $15 price is awesome.
These 64 ounce insulated hardcore water bottles for 15 bucks
can apparently keep a beverage cool for up to 24 hours
or hot for 12.
It has a carry handle and a twist lid.
Look at these vibrant, fun, soft sided basket coolers.
They're available in all sorts of patterns for 10 bucks
for a fantastic day at the beach or a picnic.
They fold for some solid portability.
And if you need something to put inside that cooler,
this variety four pack of wine seltzers: $6,
or this 12 can variety pack of wine seltzers for 18 bucks,
maybe after my wife gives birth,
looks really enticing.
Plastic wine or margarita glasses are $6.
And for the bonus section,
I'm including this next item
even though it's a little bit expensive at $200
because if you are in all-weather griller
or you don't have a deck that's covered,
this could work for you.
A splash version
of the very well-known Operation game
or Twister available in these Hasbro branded
splash water game packs for 19 bucks.
And growing up, I wish bumper boats like this existed.
This is $50.
It is complete with a motorized water blaster.
And there you have it:
my hopes, fears, and dreams,
all wrapped up into one Aldi video
that I'm very happy you watched.
I love you. Thank you.
Bye-bye.
