- These are the top 10 things you should be buying
at Aldi this April, 2023,
and this month has some amazing and unexpected finds
that you are going to love.
In the first spot, it's that time of the year,
spring cleaning / pressure washing season.
And this FERREX Electric Pressure Washer at $100
caught my attention, as this is a 2100 PSI system
with a 25-foot hose, an onboard detergent holder,
and these really nice six-inch wheels.
This six-in-one Car Emergency Accessory
goes beyond your typical car escape tool.
It functions as a power bank
that plugs into your car's DC adapter.
It also works as a safety hammer,
belt cutter, emergency warning light,
and magnetically attaches to a raised hood, all for $10.
At less than half the price of a SodaStream,
this Sparkling Soda and Water Maker is $34.
You can still use this with your standard-size canister
that would fit a SodaStream,
or buy a cylinder from this specific brand.
Point two on my list
can hopefully put some more spring in your step
with these Utility Boots at $18.
They look just like a regular pair of rain boots to me,
but they are waterproof.
Perhaps great for gardening, with its non-slip rubber sole.
My wife noticed the colored bottom
for the women's version of these boots,
which looks quite premium.
Ladies Memory Foam Athletic Shoes are $12 this April,
and for $3 more, Men's Athletic Shoes are $15.
I'm not quite sure why there's a price increase;
perhaps due to the larger sizes for guys.
I found myself impressed by the price
of these low-cut Sports Socks for Ladies.
They're available in a six-pack for $8,
which at $1.30 per pair,
seems to be a good price for socks of this quality.
Before I tackle some awesome home organization options,
in the number three spot,
it's a 12-pack of Spring Macarons for $5.29.
I opted to try the raspberry flavor from this assortment,
but still found myself craving an ice cream bar.
So when I was confronted
with these Vanilla and Berry Ice Cream Bars,
where you get three for $3.49,
I was elated with these refreshing little mouth miracles.
You can also buy these in a Vanilla and Caramel flavor,
if you prefer; same price.
This Triple Chocolate Crème Cake at $5 is very rich
and likely able to serve four or five people.
I describe this as chocolate on chocolate on chocolate.
So if this is calling to you, I support it.
I like the looks of this Vanilla Layer Frozen Dessert Cake,
but I was even more enthralled
with its Caramel Layer Frozen Dessert sibling.
I did not find this as overpowering as I anticipated.
I feel like this dessert could be a crowd-pleaser.
If you're a fan of cheesecake or mocha,
the two flavors unite
in this Mocha Mascarpone Cheesecake for $11,
and a Vanilla Bean option,
which was calling a little louder to me for the same price.
I didn't realize this is a completely frozen dessert
that needs to be thawed,
so I took a big bite out of the side of this cake
from the trunk of my car and I felt like a bit of an animal.
I ended up with a bit of brain freeze as well.
It's a fine cheesecake, but not my finest on-camera moment
in terms of dessert sampling.
Point four starts with a nice selection
of pantry storage solutions that cost $9,
like this All-Purpose Bin,
this stacking bin,
or a two-pack of Insert Bins,
which could work for small bags of chips or granola bars.
At $8, I quite like these Cereal Containers
with a 21-cup capacity and easy-pour lid.
They're BPA-free and dishwasher-safe.
Now from the pantry to the fridge,
just in time for spring cleaning,
a Fridge Tray Assortment, complete with pre-printed labels.
I like this Can Organizer at $5,
with a self-dispensing design.
I also appreciate these transparent Large Fridge Trays
at $5, complete with those pre-printed labels,
as well as a lip on the front for easy removal or access.
Now onto a couple of items I might avoid,
purely as a result of pricing.
This Small Fridge Tray at $5 looks identical
to one you can buy at Dollar Tree for $1.25.
Even if the Dollar Tree plastic is a bit thinner,
I don't see how you could justify
the 75% price increase from Aldi,
which also applies to this Egg Holder at $5.
The Dollar Tree Egg Holder
is the exact same thing with a lid, just that $1.25 price.
And I do have a couple of extra storage solutions
later on in this video that you won't want to miss.
Point five starts with an easy,
five-minute in the microwave dinner option,
Shrimp Scampi Fettuccine at $8,
from a very well-known and usually well-received brand.
From the microwave to the oven,
this Shrimp and Scallop Pot with Champagne Sauce
is served in an oven-ready, terracotta pot at $7.
This apparently serves two people.
You get a much more generous nine servings
of Mamma Cozzi's Cheesy Breadsticks,
priced at $4.49 this April.
I was very satisfied by the number
of new appetizers at Aldi this month,
like Bacon Mac and Cheese Balls at $4.49.
Or if you want something with a bit more kick,
the Buffalo Chicken option at the same price
gets you 12 individual bites.
Sticking with our non-health-food theme for a moment,
these Queso Stuffed Nachos at $4
are best described as breaded nachos
with spicy, southwestern queso cheese filling.
Because who could ever want more in life from an appetizer?
Although I feel I need to include something
with a vegetable.
So behold, twelve Spinach and Cheese Blossoms for $4.
Maybe this doesn't count as a full-on vegetable appetizer,
but there is a spinach component and that's good for you.
Salt and Pepper Breaded Calamari, we're back, $7.
It includes a pineapple sweet chili dip.
Just the sauce on its own sounds intriguing.
And they don't call it a value pack for nothing.
Some larger Crab Cakes at $5 for five.
Although at $5, it's likely less real stuff
and more imitation.
If you are enjoying this video,
please feel free to give it a thumbs-up,
as that helps my channel a lot.
Point six starts with a nifty little $40 price drop.
Who still says nifty?
I do, apparently, when I'm attaching it to the description
of this 11-foot by 7-foot Pergola at $250.
This is sold in two packages,
so make sure you take both boxes
in the event you are buying
this durable, powder-coated steel frame,
complete with a UV- and water-resistant canopy top.
At $30 off, you could put this Patio Dining Table
under your pergola, or just enjoy it anywhere for $100,
although I wish it included chairs.
This is an easy-assembly Acacia Wood Table
that could accommodate up to four people.
You could put your acacia table on top
of this 5 by 6 1/2-foot Indoor or Outdoor Rug at $50.
I feel like I've just related all my products
and built this beautiful little backyard alcove in my head.
There are four different color options for the rug.
This Boho Swinging Hammock Chair
at $25 comes with a side pocket for a water bottle.
And although this doesn't include a stand,
for a full-size hammock chair like this,
that $25 price is competitive,
as it includes two cushions for outdoor use.
Another opportunity for me to say the word Boho
for what I believe is the second time in my life ever,
this Boho Plant Stand is $20.
Seed Packets at Aldi this month are 59 cents,
which will likely be desirable to many shoppers,
given the selection of both vegetable and herb offerings.
It's worth noting
you can buy seed packets at Walmart for 20 cents,
but the Walmart seed packets are smaller
than what you can buy at Aldi.
I wanted to feature this Wooden Potting Bench at $70,
as I imagine this could be
a beautifully well-organized workstation for your garden.
It has foldaway side tables, garden utensil holders,
and looks like a really impressive piece for the price.
This almost five-foot by seven-foot Walk-In Greenhouse
at $50 could protect your plants
from pests or inclement weather.
It includes 12 stakes to secure it within your backyard
and incorporates six shelves
with a weight capacity of 22 pounds per shelf.
I love the aesthetic of these Garden Lanterns at $11.29,
complete with an LED candle.
And this could look beautiful as an outdoor piece,
or perhaps something to hang and display
in the warmer months.
Point seven includes some nice, practical high-tech finds
at Aldi this month,
like this Pyramid Desktop Charger at $18.
I bought this, as I have regular and growing charging needs,
especially when I'm testing other devices.
It supports both AI smart charging and rapid charging,
which is also the case for this Qi Wireless Car Charger,
now back in stock at $23.
This is a regular favorite
for frequent Aldi shoppers when it is in stock.
The Cage String Lights you see right here at $15
are sold in two different designs, a rounded cage design
and more of a squared-off design,
which I wanted to buy and try.
I appreciate that farmhouse vibe,
and these outdoor lights could provide
a nice dose of ambiance to a deck,
or they could be used to line a fence.
If you prefer a more traditional Curtain Light,
you could hang this from that pergola I showed you before,
or perhaps these conventional String Lights
which you could use to wrap a tree.
Maybe create your own decor piece for $13.
And as our final piece of illumination for this point,
the very bright 2000 Lumen Rechargeable Worklight
at $20 right here has a freestanding kickstand,
which could make this a prime product
in an emergency situation.
From conventional technology to health tech,
for point eight, I'm sure I don't need to explain
the benefits of a Blood Pressure Monitor at $25.
For a few dollars less than the Aldi price,
right now you can buy one from Amazon
which is very well-reviewed.
I'll link to this using the YouTube shopping tool
right on your screen.
I think the $30 price on this EMS Device
is relatively competitive.
Having used comparable models in the past,
I'm not a huge fan of that so-called massaging sensation
that these devices provide;
but those who use them regularly often swear by them.
I wanted to flag these Allergen Air Filters at $7.
While they are convenient to pick up at Aldi,
you will typically find better prices in bulk packs
from various online filter stores and Amazon.
The $65 price of this five-tier Black Shelf, however,
is a great buy this month,
with a whopping 1300-pound weight capacity
and a much nicer matte black finish
than what we would typically see for these shelves,
which are great for prepping.
I was intrigued by this Marble Recipe Holder at $20.
Yes, it's a bit more expensive
than your typical tablet or recipe stand,
but those often look like an eyesore,
and this modern beauty is a great alternative.
At $90, I would consider this Bar Cart
a non-essential accessory for many of us;
but if this is within budget,
the wicker from which it's comprised
is an all-weather design.
It has hooks to accommodate wine glasses,
a place for bottles, and some oh-so-handy wheels.
Aldi is selling what looks like a reputable knockoff
of the highly popular Dash small appliances.
The Mini Waffle, Mini Griddle, and Mini Bundt Cake Maker
with some eye-catching colors are $9,
versus the $14 you would pay
for that more premium Dash brand name.
My next point begins with something
I never expected to see at Aldi:
Full-size Basketballs, Volleyballs, and Soccer Balls for $9.
These are perfect for the park
or anyone to take up a new sport
with a high-quality, entry-level practice item
that you could otherwise kick or bounce around the driveway.
Speaking of the driveway,
this 48-pack of Sidewalk Chalk at $4 includes a holder.
And as a parent that stocks up on these every year,
$3.99 is a good price.
These Made-in-the-USA Crabbie Sand Tables at $40
are a crustacean upgrade of a family backyard favorite.
From the same brand, this indoor/outdoor Wheelbarrow at $35,
another Made-in-the-USA Aldi find.
I love the included gardening tools.
And finally, before I get to a more adult-oriented point 10,
if your kids love Squishmallows, these dupes at $10
are a much lower price than the real thing,
and they're quite cute, if you ask me.
Before we get to a jam-packed bonus section,
for my next point, it's a Reversible Spring Sign.
And at $9.79 with sayings like,
"Keep your face forward toward the sunshine"
and "Bloom where you are planted",
the reversible words of wisdom
kind of give you double bang for your buck.
These Spring Door Signs right here are reversible as well,
and at $15 they provide sayings
like "Spring", "Hello", and "Welcome".
And if you're in a bit more of an antisocial mood,
a sign that says "Go Away", which I found hilarious.
The Coffee Mug Tree for $15 right here
is made of acacia wood.
It kind of looks like a cactus design,
although it is elegant, and it accommodates four mugs.
The Wood Cheese Board right here with these marble inserts
at $12.79 continues that high-end premium theme.
If you are hosting or offering up
a charcuterie board or a butter board to guests,
this could be a nice contender,
with some great design options.
And as a final serving piece before the bonus section,
the Ceramic Oil and Vinegar Bottles right here at $5
are a nice change of pace from the norm,
and I'm growing to really appreciate
that spring color palette.
Today's bonus section begins
with some good old-fashioned bamboo,
and they're part of this impressive-looking
Bamboo Utensil Organizer,
where some of the dividers can be moved.
Your price, $10.
Which applies to this drawer organizer for larger utensils
and even spices, with a removable spice tray.
At 20 pounds, this Made-in-the-USA Wild Bird Seed at $9.49
is something I've never seen at Aldi before;
but since so many of us have bird feeders,
I wanted to include this.
And as a price comparison,
Walmart sells a 20-pound bag over $13,
compared to Aldi's $9.49.
I was impressed by these Ceramic Citronella Candles at $10.
They are large and in charge,
a nice look which one rarely associates
to warding off mosquitoes.
If your pet accompanies you on road trips to Aldi,
this Travel Bucket Pet Bed at $20 attaches to a seatbelt.
It feels like it's of a very high quality,
and it can accommodate four-legged family members
of up to 26 pounds.
And there you have it.
Thanks for watching.
I love you.
Bye-bye.
