- These are the top 10 things
you should be buying
at Aldi this March, 2023,
and this month has some amazing,
and unexpected finds you are going to love.
We begin with something perfectly
timed for spring break
whether you are traveling or hosting,
this 18-inch queen inflatable mattress
with built-in pump
includes a storage bag,
and the surface is comprised
of an antimicrobial material,
making this price competitive.
I don't typically get this excited over hangers,
but this 10-pack of no stretch hangers
at five bucks,
allows you to easily get the hangar
inside the collar of a piece of clothing
without stretching.
It has a center bar for ties, scarves and belts,
and a bottom bar for pants.
This motion-activated nightlight wall plate
at 10 bucks fits right over
your existing wall outlet.
It has a simple installation process,
and if you don't need
the motion activation feature,
you can buy a two-pack
of these nightlights for $10.
For 0.2.
Spring cleaning is alive and well.
Starting with the spot carpet cleaner
you see right here.
For 80 bucks,
this is geared toward any
stubborn type of stain.
Coffee, wine, pet-related stains,
random desserts that you spill
all over the trunk of your car.
I'll get to that in a moment.
Every quarter Aldi releases a new stick vacuum,
so this cordless cyclonic stick vacuum
at $90 doesn't actually catch me by surprise,
but with each release,
it seems the vacuums are greatly improved
from one model to the next.
This one has a HEPA filter,
and it looks like a distant relative
of a Dyson with a lower level of power
but a much more comfortable price.
If you're looking for something
that can go beyond a Swiffer,
this spin mop set at $25
is similar in design and size
to what we use at my house.
We actually bought ours from Costco.
Aldi is a fraction of the price.
For simple spills, this spin sweeper,
which I tested last year is back at $13.
and I found it to be effective.
For 0.3, which is actually
my lucky number today.
thanks to this Irish cream cheesecake
at 5.89 to kick things off
with St. Patrick's Day right around the corner,
this had a light Irish cream taste,
and a decadence that made me feel rather festive,
and ready for this next contender,
which is a Shamrockin' Swirl
or Luck o'the Cookie Dough Ice Cream
at $2 for an entire pint of glory.
I opted to indulge
with the Shamrock swirl for a moment.
It tasted like a creamy mint chocolate ice cream,
and a little tinge of heaven.
You can also enjoy a four-pack
of Leprecones for $4.
I feel like some of these products
were named just so I could read them to you.
This is a mint and chocolate flavored ice cream
which I tried, enjoyed,
and I believe this will not disappoint.
From Ireland to Italy,
these Italian gelato cups at $4
for a two-pack,
have multiple flavor options including pistachio,
cappuccino or chocolate hazelnut,
which I sampled and it was fantastic.
Dipped ice cream sandwich duos are $5.
These are available in cookies and cream
or chocolate chip flavor concoctions.
I had the chocolate chip,
and it currently holds the spot
as the best dessert
I've tried from Aldi so far this year.
Before I showcase
some non dessert-related food items
in the number four spot
tied to a highly popular activity
this time of year, home organization.
This 17-compartment organizer at 15 bucks
goes beyond your typical DIY set.
It has these larger trays for bulkier items.
It might be great for a garage, a playroom
or crafting.
These stackable storage bins at $15
were prominently featured in this month's
Aldi's Fine catalogs,
so I really wanted to see it in-person
to better understand the higher price.
These are a bit larger
than what I've seen from competing brands
at lower prices.
If you have the need
for an entry-level sewing machine
or you have some small clothing repairs to make,
this 12 stitch sewing machine
allows for a variable stitch length,
different stitch patterns,
and has a built-in LED sewing light
to sew on the go or have what you need
on hand for those times
where you really didn't expect it.
This travel sewing kit is $5,
and I like this sewing thread kit
with 64 different threads.
Also five bucks.
Good for clothing upkeep,
and at a competitive price,
this handheld fabric steamer is $20.
It takes only 30 seconds to heat up,
and it's also handy for steaming curtains
around your house.
In the number five spot,
before I attempt to pronounce words
I've never seen before.
Speaking of firsts, this is the first time,
I've seen pre-portioned herbs at Aldi.
$2.59 cents gets you 24 cubes that can be stored
in the fridge or freezer for all those times.
That fresh garlic isn't an option
or you want something more concentrated
than a jar of garlic or ginger,
and if you are not cooking,
and you need a hardy meal option
with little prep time required,
you'll find a nine pack of breaded veal patties
for $10 this March at Aldi.
And alternatively, Parmesan chicken patties
are also the same price for nine.
Shepherd's pie for St. Patrick's Day at $7,
and this lovely green box
that was so frozen over,
it was impossible to even see what's inside.
Not only are they authentically Irish,
but made in Canada.
I'm not sure if you want to grab this,
but if you do, let me know how it is.
The original Irish style bangers
you see right here for $4.29,
have an ale and onion version in addition
to the original flavor.
This spicy chicken ramen kit at $4
looked appetizing despite the higher price
than buying this as a multi-pack somewhere else.
So if you want that elevated miso ramen
or spicy chicken flavored dinner,
maybe the $4 splurge is worth the price.
Speaking of premium.
Did you know know,
there's something called Premium Hot Pockets,
rather than just non premium ones?
A 12-pack will cost you $13.48.
My wife Daria adores these.
She would choose this over a lobster dinner.
Speaking of seafood, this paella
at $4.49 includes the typical veggies,
rice, calamari and shrimp.
And if you prefer a bit more kick
with the same types of seafood,
this jambalaya pack is also $4.49.
It looked lovely.
If you prefer your seafood
breaded Beer Battered Fish Fillets
are $6 and gluten free Boom Boom Shrimp
with Sweet Thai Chili sauce.
Six bucks could be a great grab
for a special treat.
Before I discuss some mules
in the number six spot,
that's right, I said mules.
It's a Rattan chip and dip tray for $25.
This is uniquely styled and you could use it
for tortillas or chips
around the edge and the center part
for salsa or guac.
A great way to impress your guest.
It could also function well with veggies
around the outside,
dip in the middle or fruit on the outside,
and chocolate in the middle.
Clearly I want this
based on all the babbling examples I'm providing.
I didn't know I wanted a bamboo steamer
until last week.
I bought some highly popular frozen dumplings.
I tried a stove top prep and they were horrible.
The directions called for using
a steamer and at $10,
I hope this makes a difference.
This immersion blender with chopping ball
at $25 is a three-in-one system.
It includes a portable chopper
with a 300 Watt motor,
and electronic whisk attachment,
and the immersion blender.
That is some good blending bang for your buck.
I love these cutting board scissors at $8.
They allow you to chop and dice
without a knife or cutting board.
I featured a more expensive version
sold on Amazon as part of my
kitchen gadgets video last month.
Aldi pricing is really impressive.
This soft slicer for $8 is the fantastic way
to slice your hard boiled eggs,
mushrooms and other types
of softer veggies and fruit.
If you're still balancing your kitchen utensils
on the counter or on the sides of pots
as I sometimes do,
this spoon rest for $5 is worth grabbing,
and ceramic trivets with the same color scheme
are also five bucks.
A pancake pan with assorted designs.
A nice way to make your family members smile,
even when they have to get up
really early for school,
and they're angry at you,
which sometimes happens in our household.
12 bucks.
And if you prefer this awesome crate pan,
same price.
Finally, if you need to store
any of these kitchen gadgets
that I just mentioned,
these slide-out bakeware organizers
at 7.49 provide easy access
within your kitchen cabinetry
or on a counter.
In the number seven spot.
If you've been searching for ladies mules,
they're 10 bucks.
I have no idea what a mule is
when it comes to footwear,
but in this case I just think it means
slip-ons with a nice design and a great price.
They look lovely in-person.
If you are in need of ladies rain boots
this spring,
they're $17 with some nice floral designs,
and a win for your foot
because these have a cushioned insole.
Ladies ponty pants.
I've never heard of this clothing item
before in my life.
It's $15 though.
It comes with this slim or a tapered fit.
Come and get them if you want your Ponty pants.
There were quite a few shoppers
looking at this two-pack of ladies
soft leggings for $10.
Finally, an item I recognize,
they're available in a standard
or leopard pattern.
The leopard did seem much more popular
at my local Aldi.
I should mention,
none of this content is sponsored.
Aldi is not paying me to make this video.
If you need some posture correction
or you are constantly overwhelmed,
and confronted with adjustable
posture corrector ads online,
they're $9 at Aldi.
I have no idea why Facebook
thinks I have such horrible posture.
This is a cheaper price than you'd see on Amazon.
Something else, however,
which is not cheaper at Aldi,
and is one of my do not buys this month,
is this men's four-way stretch jogger
at too high of a price for $17
in my opinion.
There are better options to buy online,
which I have linked to on the screen
using the YouTube shopping tool.
In the number eight spot.
I don't frequently encounter $50 lamps at Aldi,
so I did spend some time
investigating this particular lamp.
I've learned it's made of concrete
that's apparently highly trendy right now,
and it is more expensive from other retailers.
So if you want a concrete lamp,
Aldi's price is solid, no pun intended.
Hashtag dad joke.
From concrete to velvet,
This office chair at $60 is modern on wheels,
and it has a nicely textured back.
Memory foam lumber or swivel cushions
are $7.49 to potentially
reduce pressure on your spinal tailbone.
This could work well
with a new or existing office chair,
and could prevent you
from needing that posture corrector in 0.7.
Wow.
My points are really connecting nicely today,
which is not always the case.
Aldi is back at it again
with Ray Dunn inspired desk accessories at $5.
They include writing utensil holders,
accessory organizers,
adorned with some nice sayings.
These look like they would retail
for far more than $5.
In the same section of my local store.
I also encountered
these multipurpose sonic scrubbers
for $10 with four brush heads.
These are great for small spaces
that need that extra oomph,
and for a kitchen or office,
these desktop vacuums at $10
look like a mini robo vac,
but you just glide these over a surface.
They are battery powered with batteries included,
and these bad boys do a decent job
for a quick cleanup.
From my next point, we move on
to an item that looks like it's
straight out of an IKEA catalog,
and it's this plugin
or hardwired bamboo pendant light for $50.
It has a nice modern aesthetic
that could work in a bedroom
or living room,
and I do like that direct plugin option,
which means if you want this,
no electrician is required for installation.
Available in two different designs.
This three piece reversible bedding set
at $40 includes one comforter,
and two matching shams.
The queen and king size options
are the same price, which is rare to see.
If you want to elevate the look of a couch,
a bed, or an easy chair,
this 50 by 60 faux cashmere throw is just $15.
It looks much more expensive
than the advertised Aldi price.
At that same price,
oversized bath towels that felt really soft.
100% cotton.
Very thick and durable
to justify that higher price
might be a consideration
or the two-pack of normal sized bath towels
are $15 as well.
From my next point,
before the anxiously awaited bonus section,
not that I actually know it's anxiously awaited
by anyone other than my mother-in-law.
But if you've got kids or grandkids,
take a look at the kids'
Aldi shopping set right here for $15.
I was excited to see these back in-store
with an updated design.
It includes a wallet and basket set
for a younger member of your household
to embrace that Aldi spirit.
There's a food and crate bag set,
which includes fruits and veggies,
and a grocery store set with miniature versions
of all your favorite Aldi branded foods.
Quite fun.
If a child in your life
really loves going to Aldi with you,
this kid's full sized Aldi food market set
at $40 includes everything you would need
at a cash register.
And as a parent,
I will conclude, this is actually a great price
given what you get.
For a Non-Aldi branded option,
this five and one activity table for kids
is $30 for eating, drawing.
There's even an opening for water games,
and it includes a carry handle.
When I first saw this gourmet pasta presented
in a glass container, I thought it was candy.
To my dismay, I've learned you get a nice
amount of vibrant.
Made in Italy pasta with a keepsake.
Reusable storage container for $8.
This hammered carafe at $10
looked beautiful in-person.
Tailor-made for iced tea or lemonade
with summer right around the corner.
There is a clear or blue option,
and for that same $10 price,
you could also buy a two-pack
of hammered glasses to match
with the same color options.
Wood and marble serving boards
are by no means a unique item at Aldi,
but I was pleased to see this new version
with a dark marble.
It looks very premium and high-end.
At $15, it could serve as a perfect
serving vessel for a charcuterie board,
a butter board or just impressing your guests.
I've never seen these terracotta bowls before
at Aldi.
These could prove to be the perfect centerpiece.
A nice way to serve up whatever it is
your heart desires,
and at $20, they look very Mediterranean.
And now for the bonus section
where my theme today is small on size,
and big on impact.
Like these mini wreaths for $9.
They're festive.
They're welcoming.
You get three different design options.
I quite like the natural foliage one,
and while they are compact,
they do include a hook.
Speaking of compact,
this eight pack of breakfast cereal
for $4.78 provides smaller
ready-to-consume options
that you can enjoy right on the spot.
If you are tight on time
or embarking upon a road trip
or if you're really late for school or work,
just pour milk right in,
and enjoy it while you're parked.
New Dunkin' Donuts coffee ground packs are $8.72,
with a chocolate covered strawberry variety
or a turtle flavor and I'm assuming
they mean the turtle chocolate,
and not the reptile.
I'm not so sure my turtle comment
was an appetizing way to conclude a video,
but thank you for watching.
I love you.
Bye-bye.
