- These are the top 10 things you should be buying
at Aldi this August, I almost said April,
August 2021.
Well, time has flown by.
Welcome back to the channel, I'm the YouTube Deal Guy,
Matt Granite.
I'm excited to have you here.
I'm going to bring you inside my local Aldi
and showcase incredible sales and finds,
from insect killing solar torches
to an air fryer under 35 bucks.
Desk lamps, a tech surprise from Sharper Image,
and some of the most delicious food deals
you'll see all fall.
Some of which I consume in my car, I've got you covered.
This video is not sponsored in any way
and if you do like this content,
please feel free to share it with a fellow Aldi shopper.
The first thing you should be buying at Aldi this August
are these solar insect torch lights.
They've got a beautiful LED flame effect,
and I brought them home to the tune of 29.99.
Now, these stakes go into your backyard,
or you could use them with a stand
and prop it up on a table.
It's lightweight.
I love the cool flame effect, but more importantly,
the reason you don't see too many bugs
in the vicinity where I'm shooting right now
is these have been very effective
at killing bugs upon contact.
They're weatherproof.
They last for six hours on every charge,
I was very happy to see them.
The solar mosaic design garden stake
that you see right here, has some great patriotic colors,
disco colors, and more, $6.99.
I love the whole mosaic tiling look
and they look significantly more expensive
than what I paid for $7.
Now take a look at these solar LED path lights.
Before I move on to my next point,
$3.99 is what they come out to.
I decided I'd pick up two to test them out modern,
incredible design.
I love the way that they're not only classy,
but they illuminate the path below solid,
and these would be significantly
more expensive anywhere else.
In the number two spot of what you should be buying
at Aldi this month.
Something I don't believe I've ever seen before,
an air fryer for $34.99.
This one is compact, but the price is unbelievable.
It's ideal for possibly two people.
I set this up in my basement
to assist with my mid day snacking needs
while I'm filming in the studio.
And I figured for the purposes of this demonstration,
I'd go pick up those fries that are nearly identical
to the one sold at McDonald's.
But those are nowhere to be found anywhere.
By the way guys, if you have seen those McDonald's
look alike fries at Aldi, please leave me a comment.
I was very perturbed, but more importantly,
I did find the steak cut fries.
I bought them, put them into the air fryer.
I cooked the steak fries using no oil.
And then six minutes later, (alarm dings)
the fries were cooked to perfection,
that crisp that you can usually only find
from an air fryer.
In the number three spot of what you should be buying
at Aldi this month, before I tackle
some incredible food items, pillows.
I don't believe I've ever recommended a pillow
this large from Aldi.
It's 20-by-28, it's $5.89.
This is designed as a sleeping pillow.
It wasn't particularly from in my touch test
so I don't know if I would recommend this
as a primary sleeping pillow, but for guest rooms,
particularly if you don't love the guest sleeping over,
this would be great.
But as a decorative grab at $5.89, I was impressed.
At $7.99 for this royal plush throw, I was very impressed.
You get many different color varieties, it was plush.
And I was surprised that you could find something
that looks like this for 8 bucks.
Of course, at Aldi.
The portable lap workstation you see right here,
which has a document clip and an internal storage
for 29.99 looked even more premium than some
of the nearly identical competing products
sold at OfficeMax in some of the warehouse clubs.
In the number four spot, prepare for hunger.
And if you guys shop frequently at Aldi,
you'll know they celebrate different food cultures
every month.
And the Asian food month available this August,
includes ramen in full kits, which have both the protein
and the veggies all ready to go with the noodles.
I personally wouldn't spend the 3.99
if I was just going to make ramen,
but this is more reflective of what you would find
in a higher end restaurant for ramen or pho
because it's not just instant noodles in a pack.
It is elevated to include more.
The sweet ginger sesame or a teriyaki skillet meals,
perhaps a better bang for your buck at $4.99.
The stir fry Szechuan varieties at 2.99,
coming in strong at that price.
If you like edamame, you could find it steamed
or shelled this month for a buck 89.
The pork or chicken potstickers, which are delicious $3.99.
The crab rangoons with that delicious cream cheese filling
that no one thought would ever work,
but it really does, $2.49.
The steamed chicken dumplings, $2.75.
And something I've never seen before,
but it looks surprisingly good, frozen sushi.
$5.89 which includes a spicy crab
or shrimp tempura selections.
That might be something to consider.
In the number five spot,
there I go awkwardly high-fiving myself again,
kind of feels like college.
The 9-foot outdoor market umbrella you see right here
for 39.99 is a tremendous find given the price
and this time of season.
Typically, this is what we would see closer to Labor Day,
but if you are looking for more bargains
to help you beat the heat, I'll get to that in a moment.
This tri-planter with tray available
in white or gray, $9.99.
It has this ceramic like looking texture,
but it is heavy.
It's ideal, more for indoor use than outdoor,
but you could work at either way.
This 4-step aluminum ladder as the DIY season
almost comes to a close, a considerably good grab,
might be worth having later down the line
for hanging Christmas lights.
This 4-in-1 airbed, I know I featured airbeds
in the past at Aldi, but this is 29.99.
And it can be used as a double bed or as two single beds.
So because of its versatility, and as we head back
to school and host in-laws and other things
going on in our home, at least in mind,
this might be worth considering.
The foldable workbench at 19.99, folds flat, easy to store,
and a compact design.
In the number six spot,
some of the most aggressive fan deals
I've ever seen sold at any retailer,
this 20-inch air circulation fan 26.99.
A 20-inch box fan, 17.99.
If you're looking for something more compact or small,
this 8-inch is $8.99.
Almost a dollar an inch. Very interesting pricing.
The 16-inch pedestal fan that you see right here, 14.99.
The home tower fan for under 20 bucks
and this 8000BTU portable fan,
which requires an exhaust to feed out of a window at $200
would be perfect for those hot August days
and those warm September nights.
And more importantly, if your air has gone out on you,
this is something you might want to have on hand.
In the number seven spot, let's get organized,
or at least your kitchen drawers or office
could look a little bit better for $5.99.
This large mesh drawer organizer is great for utensils
in the kitchen, but you could easily use it this for home
or office organization for writing utensils as well.
This 10-piece flat were set at $9.99.
We're looking at $1 a piece,
it's basically dollar tree pricing, but in my opinion,
a little bit better quality.
Not black. Look really nice in my opinion.
Not just so I can say, matte look great
because it's my name, but the silver and iridescent options
are available to those of you that want
to proceed something less self-absorbed.
This mini utensil set for 7.99 is available
with different silicone handle colors.
Baby blue, dark blue, pink, and it includes
a whisk, a spatula, and a few other goodies.
The extendable and collapsible sink colanders,
which in our household are the only type
of colander I tolerate anymore, $9.99.
A very practicable, the expandable garment rack
that you see right here for 7.99 is portable.
It's great if you're hosting a fashion show
or if you've just run out of closet space,
or if you live with my wife.
And in the number eight spot,
more snacks, delectable desserts,
and further evidence that this is not a health food channel.
The Greek yogurt that you see available right here,
honey, peach, or cherry, $3.69.
This cinnamon donut sticks were of particular interest
to me, $1.49.
I've never seen these sold at Aldi before.
They kind of look like what you'd see at an Aunt Annie's
or Aunt Annie's if you prefer to say it that way.
I decided I would buy these,
and instead due to the size of my air fryer
and tied to my overall dexterity issues,
I decided that I would instead
make these cinnamon donut ball,
almost croissant-like things.
I put them into the air fryer, cooked it in two rounds
at three minutes, since you have to flip them,
I added the icing.
They were sensationally delicious.
I was so impressed with my concoction.
These breakfast cinnamon bites at $2.49.
If you don't want to go through the effort,
I just demonstrated.
These are made for you and you get a pound for under 2.50,
The mini ice cream drumsticks proudly consumed
in my car, $2.99.
Scores you the cones that are available
in vanilla chocolate or vanilla carmel or caramel,
100 calories per cone.
The Arctic bars, which are kind of like a Klondike dupe,
$2.69 for 6, that is a really good price.
And if you're feeling guilty by this point,
in the fact that none of your four-legged family members
have had their cool ice cream treats,
these ice cream treats are designated for dogs.
They're frozen. I believe they're delicious.
I haven't tried them myself, $2.99.
In the number nine spot, before I explore
some awesome tech and we get to some bonus items.
The 10-foot kids play parachute that you see right here
for $14.99.
You might've had them growing up.
Play groups, nursery school, great for entertaining
other kids on the block or my three-year-old daughter
when she has friends over.
This triple water slide with a speed ramp,
you got a speed ramp, 14.99.
Great for any hot summer days left in your itinerary
or a good thing to have as we move into the fall
and kids are still looking to enjoy the outdoors.
In the number 10 spot,
before we get into my big bonus finale,
take a look at this socket shelf.
This is the same one that's as seen on TV,
except I didn't realize until I took it out of the box,
it's actually made by Sharper Image.
Hello, nostalgia and happy childhood memories
of one of my favorite stores.
This is nearly identical to the one that I purchased
and demonstrated in a prior Amazon roundup video,
but you can see how it works in my bathroom.
You get a shelf, you can charge your product safely.
They don't need a counter.
You could use it in a home office. It's expandable.
It worked with my iPad.
It'll work with any other Android smartphone,
tablet, or USB tech-related device.
I also have one in my YouTube studio and I love it.
This LED color-changing lamp, all the rage right now.
But if you look at this particular model for 18.99,
you get an LED base and of course, the lamp part.
This is great for a kid's room, a home office.
LED lights being all the rage.
This one produces virtually any color, it's touch sensitive.
You can control the brightness using your hand.
The USB port on the back is extra handy
if you want to charge a device while this works.
Now for the bonus section,
where I will start with breakfast
and then end with a small appliance bargain.
This breakfast, overnight oats.
Vanilla, banana, or strawberry, 3.99.
Breakfast pizzas, a considerably trendy item right now
and they should be all the time as far as I'm concerned,
bacon or sausage, $3.99.
Significantly cheaper than what I saw
at a local warehouse club that I showed you
in a prior video.
The mac and cheese that you see right here,
lobster or shrimp, highly gourmet.
So is the price, $6.99.
Chicken kebabs, a 6-pack, Mediterranean, 4.99.
Asian sauces that are surprisingly generous
in the portion for a very low price of $2.15,
include orange, ginger, or sesame.
Infused extra-virgin olive oils,
lemon or orange, $4.49, also a very decent sized bottle.
And George Foreman grills for 29.99.
And no, this is not the mini model.
This is the standard 5-serving sides.
Great for back to school.
Great if there's anyone watching right now
that still doesn't have a George Foreman,
which brings me to my final question.
Do you own a George Foreman?
I feel like from my early apartment, renting,
and college life, I very much relied upon this contraption,
"Do you have one? Do you still use it?"
And if you don't, 29.99.
Thank you so much for watching this video.
I'm making this far end, the only reason I'm able
to exist the way I do is because you guys watch it.
And I highly appreciate it.
