- These are the top 10 things you should be buying
at Aldi this August, 2022.
And this month has some amazing
and unexpected finds you are going to love.
In the first spot, blistering hot temperatures
have upped the demand for portable neck fans.
And what do you have here?
One that I found for 8.99.
This one is a USB rechargeable system,
the battery lasts up to four hours
depending upon the speed that you use.
It has some LED illumination to increase your visibility.
Great if you're taking yourself or a dog for a walk at night
and it is available in an array of different colors.
Look at this two in one cordless stick vac $65,
and a completely different design
from anything I've ever sampled from Aldi.
This one has a brushless motor, a variety of accessories
and it converts into a hand vac,
and with this little mess that I made on my floor
as I wanted to test this before I made any recommendations,
it has fantastic suction power
and LEDs on the head of the vacuum.
For just under $9,
look at this three tier wooden plant shelf that I found.
It was originally 20 bucks,
and I conclude this is another fantastic all defined.
Woo!
And that was just point one.
For point two, let's go to the bug zapper
that you see right here.
This is $20 and I wanted to test its performance,
as I've noticed it very significantly between models.
It has a nice aesthetic, more of a modern look
than some of your typical units.
I put it right into my backyard.
It does require that it be plugged in,
so if you have an outlet as I do outside,
this is how you're going to get it to work.
It seemed to do a good job.
If you need a more portable version,
the three in one portable zapper
with light right here is 11.29.
It charges via micro USB
and it functions as an insect zapper,
a lantern, a flashlight.
And on clearance for all of your bug zapping needs,
I don't think I've ever seen a light bulb
that functions as an insect zapper,
where all you have to do is just screw this in up top
to a fixture inside or out.
6.49, and a very intelligent design.
As some of you may be aware,
my four year old daughter has been obsessed with flamingos.
So to my surprise, when I called her from Aldi
to find out which of these tall metal garden statues
Mara wanted me to bring home,
her pick to my shock was a peacock.
They are all $20 and they look surprisingly nice in person.
Before we approach my favorite part of the video,
it's point three, and Aldi has a new item
to maximize your storage space and close quarters.
It's this over the door hook with basket at $13.
It provides a hook for towels or shower products,
it could even function well in a laundry room.
As you can see, I was able to put this to use
immediately in a bathroom.
And while we're on the topic of the bathroom,
if you are a big fan of the squatty potty,
I can't believe I've just said that in a YouTube video
there's a knockoff version of the squatty potty
and it's called the squatting tools.
$17, it's designed for adults or kids,
and this is actually a great price.
With no segue from bathroom stops to closet organization,
the wardrobe organizer you see right here
gets the job done in a different way.
If you're short on closet space,
or if you have a storage room or you need to organize
or even functional for a dorm room or studio apartment,
this could come into play nicely.
There's also a shoe organizer I found right here
for 30 bucks, if you or your significant other
has a lot of shoes or boots,
my wife has a surprisingly controlled amount of shoes
which I've noticed over the years.
One of the many reasons I wanted to marry her.
And finally, shoes storage boxes at 7.49
for a two pack are stackable,
and they are on clearance down from a regular price of $14.
By now, if you're a frequent Aldo shopper like I am,
you've likely seen more clearance tags
and reductions than ever before.
I have confirmed via ripoff from an Aldi store associate
that the stores have over ordered,
they are oversaturated with products,
dealing with overstock issues.
Customers will find more reductions than ever before.
And with more deals to be found than usual,
you will find the bargains sprinkled through this video.
Speaking of sprinkles, in the number four spot,
my favorite desserts at Aldi
begin with this highly popular six pack
of FatBoy sandwiches.
Available in the cookie and cream variety or sugar cookies,
4.48 for six.
I opted to try the sugar cookie,
which was not only decadent and spectacular tasting,
but it was so good.
I decided to present it to myself and serve myself
on this lovely marble surface,
which I'll explain later on in the video.
The cream filled cupcakes for 5.29 that you see right here
are available in strawberry, lemon and chocolate.
They're described on the package as heavenly.
I can now conclude after having tried these
from the trunk of my car,
they are more earthly tasting than heavenly.
As I found them a little bit dry,
they are gluten free and dairy free,
so that might be a plus for some of you.
But as I continued my search
for an actual heavenly dessert specimen,
I stumbled upon this Oreo ice cream cake for 7.79,
reduced from 10.39.
And it transformed my taste buds into little tiny angels.
I could eat this all day, but I had to stop myself
to make room for one more healthier Aldi dessert find.
It's a 10 pack of 20 calorie dessert bars
for just $2.29.
Of course, I had to try a 20 calorie dessert bar
to determine whether this was actually worth consuming.
I selected the orange and vanilla one,
which to my amazement is delicious.
It's almost like a slightly healthier tasting
orange creamsicle without compromising on too much taste.
The final dessert you see right here
is something that I did not try,
but it's for four legged family members who need a treat,
perhaps while you're chowing down
on one of the other items I showcased.
These dog treats are 3.49 for a four pack,
and for those of you disappointed I'm not trying these,
I did consider it,
but since the flavors include cheesy bacon, I took a pass.
In the number five spot,
another product I'd never before seen at Aldi,
and it's a cold brew coffee system for $13,
with skyrocketing prices on everything,
many households including ours, make their coffee at home.
This cold brew system which is color coded
could mean you get one color for yourself.
Your significant other might like
their ice coffee a different way,
and you can tell them apart.
If hot coffee is more your thing,
this single serve coffee maker for $30
brews two different sizes,
and also works with a reusable filter or K-Cups.
Speaking of K-Cups, this coffee pod organizing tower
for $17 rotates and organizes your K-Cups
for a reasonable price
potentially freeing up valuable pantry or drawer space.
Pineapple slicers are apparently very trendy
right now on social media, and this one
at $5 like the others, twists inside the pineapple
so you don't have to slice it.
I wanted to buy and try this,
I will conclude that it works just fine.
I obviously need to improve my technique,
but it does make the job easier.
And as a cheaper alternative
to the coveted dash egg cookers,
this Retro Egg Cooker for $13
is another highly popular product.
I had to do a double take
on the price of this next item for point six
because even I could not wrap my head around a four pack
of these Cabana sippers for $2, including the straws.
Again, four of these, including the straws for 1.99,
reusable and ready for all sorts of summer
or fall beverages.
Following the cameo of that beautiful marble surface
I showed you earlier on in the video
when I was consuming desserts,
these marble cheese boards, yep, that's the one I bought,
14.99 would be wonderful for a charcuterie board,
a chopping block, a decor piece,
or for enjoying desserts from the trunk of your car
in a truly elegant manner.
A nice big 16 gallon Sterilite clear storage bin at 7.49
that includes the lid,
would be wonderful for seasonal clothing swaps
or other types of storage.
This is made in the USA.
And if you wanna go bigger from the same brand,
and I should mention, no brands are paying me
to make this video, Aldi is not sponsoring this.
A 20 gallon latch storage bin at $10
is a rugged durable design system,
a wonderful way to store your seasonal decorations.
We seem to have a lot of those.
And despite not being clear,
a quick label on the exterior could solve the problem.
No, this next item is not just
another trunk organizer from Aldi,
the one that you see right here, this August,
comes with a detachable insulated cooler for $15.
Not only great for transporting all of your perishables,
or if you're watching this video
and you're trekking out to an Aldi
because you don't have one near you,
you could keep everything cool,
but this would be great for tailgating,
transporting food between households or camping.
In the number seven spot,
before I get to a great gadget for prepping.
If you are looking to elevate your family pizza night,
this higher quality traditional crust,
mozzarella and pepperoni pizza for $8 caught my eye.
I'm also a huge fan of prime rib patties,
which we've been enjoying as a family this summer.
They're available at Aldi for 8.49.
There is also a pub style burger offering.
For an inexpensive breakfast treat on the go,
these sausage or bacon breakfast bowls are 1.99,
just three minutes in the microwave gets the job done.
If you're looking for some more flavor
or variety for your next fajita or taco,
the shrimp taco mix or shrimp fajita mixes,
which you see right here are $5 each,
both include four servings.
I also bought these hash brown sticks for $3
from Aldi's core frozen entree brand.
I know these are going to be good
but I will report back in the next video.
I call this next part of my video, multifunction greatness,
otherwise known as point eight,
and I wanna begin with the Tent Fan
with remote control for $18.
This would be great for camping,
but if you think of a power outage,
you could probably just hang this up above a table,
suspended over a bedroom.
It would provide both air circulation because it's a fan
and illumination because it's also a light.
The multifunction greatness continues
with a three in one camping light you see right here,
for 6.79.
This works as a camping light, a flashlight,
or even a desk lamp, although I'm not sure
why you would have a desk on a camping trip,
but anyhow, maybe when you're done your camping trip
and you wanna write about it at your desk,
this was something I bought so I could test the brightness,
and it is fantastic.
The four foot portable table you see right here for $30
is reduced from a price of 40.
Thank you clearance.
It's complete with handles for easy transportation,
nice to have for unexpected or unwanted dinner guests
or for kids' birthday parties.
If you spend a lot of time in your backyard,
these beverage stakes for $3 each
can hold your drink of choice
beside your favorite chair or recliner
or even a smartphone.
I bought these as well, because I love the design.
I wish there was a version
you could stake through your carpet
or your floor inside your home,
but for the backyard, they're great.
Also brilliantly designed is a collapsible bucket.
I bought this for 8.99.
There's also a tub with a built in handle at the same price.
The collapsible bucket could be something you use
to carry a variety of things for tailgating or camping,
for a picnic or at the beach.
The tub could work for a washing your clothes while you camp
or even outdoor food prep or anything you need to wash,
thanks to its little drain.
If you're in the market for a budget friendly solution
to help you cool off this summer, and you don't have a pool,
the rectangle or hexagon pools,
which you can pick up from Aldi are $25,
very well priced compared to what else is available
from other retailers.
If you already own a pool, swim rings are $7.
Or for pets, you can buy a small or large pet float
for 3.79.
And I find this dog on the packaging to be extremely cute.
I want him or her.
For bathing your pets, the three in one pet shower sprayer
with a connection that works indoors with your shower
or a connection that will work outside
with your garden hose, highly versatile and $20.
And for kids or pets the giant llama
or unicorn sprinklers right here are 12.49.
To continue that cool off theme,
an eight inch personal fan was $13,
and was something I wanted to test
before I made a recommendation.
It has a decent velocity, quiet operation,
and I think it's worth the price.
The mini dehumidifier pack you see right here for $10
could help if the area in which you live
is battling high humidity.
You could pop one of these modules into a closet,
a pantry or a storage area, $10.
Before I get to an item that rocks in all the right ways
for the next point on my list,
it's an electric spreader for 9.49.
This is designed to electrically fertilize your lawn.
It can spread seeds or even salt or sand in the winter.
That's a really good price at 9.49.
For ambiance, heat in the fall or even s'mores,
the wood burning pyramid chimney for 50 bucks
is a fantastic price for a stainless steel system
that includes both a poker and a PVC cover.
Including the same accessories,
but a larger and more substantial design,
the Outdoor Log Burner for 100 bucks
reflects a $100 price reduction.
And I think it's beautiful.
I must apologize though, for my filming
as the box was stacked sideways
and I had to rotate my camera
so you could see it the right way up.
I hope you're not nauseous because I've got another item.
It's the higher end of the fire pits.
And this one is a tabletop fire pit
which also stores firewood on the bottom.
It is pricier at $125, but it does double as a table.
This wooden porch rocker for 45 bucks
would be great on many decks.
If that chair isn't rocking it for you, hashtag dad pun,
I'm going to show you a rock, an actual rock in a moment.
But the three piece wicker patio set
you see right here for $170
features two more premium looking chairs and an ottoman.
What's that? You're ready for the rock?
Well, welcome to the bonus section.
And this Solar Rock Spotlight for $11 is random
and it might just what you need to illuminate a pathway
or for any type of landscape lighting.
And not only does this rock house a solar light,
it will also store your keys
in this secret compartment on the back.
If you're a big fan of the Rae Dunn line at HomeGoods
there's now a similar knockoff line at Aldi
with a nearly identical font.
This ceramic desk organizer you see right here for 4.99
was from that collection.
I wanted to buy this to better organize my office,
and I think the quality is really good.
Great for a classroom meal planning or homeschooling,
these classroom or family organizational boards are $8.
Light blocking window curtains are $9.
And I'm including these in the bonus section
because the colors might not be for everyone.
They can supposedly reduce noise,
but more importantly for home efficiency
reducing your home heating or cooling bills,
these might be for you.
And shoppers were flocking to this hair straightening brush
for 19 bucks.
It apparently heats up while you straighten your hair.
I can't say I've used it or will buy it,
which is a bit of an anti climactic way
to end a YouTube video,
but you've made it here, and for that, I thank you.
I love you, bye bye.
