- These are the top 10 things you should be buying at Aldi
this February 2022,
and there are some huge new finds and amazing deals
you're really going to love.
In the first spot, it's a seven-wick candle.
I don't believe I've ever actually seen anything this large.
And Aldi has an $18.69 price attached to it
which isn't that big given what you get.
So if you're in the market for a giant candle,
ready to impress anyone that comes over,
I decided to buy and try this,
it could work as a housewarming gift.
I took it home. I chose the silver one.
I brought it home. My wife loves it.
No complaints. It smells wonderful.
I also wanted to buy and try
this portable vacuum cleaner for 25 bucks
before I made any recommendations.
It's available in black or white,
and cordless which is rare to see at this price.
In my spilled coffee ground pick-up test,
you can see this vacuum/DustBuster
does a great job with the pick-up.
This would also serve nicely as a cordless car vac.
Now, while we are on the topic of cleaning,
I was impressed to see a spray mop for $15.
Of course, a price like this warranted a test as well.
I've found that this is a great alternative to a Swiffer.
It has a washable microfiber cloth on the bottom.
And since it accommodates any liquid of your choice,
you're not held hostage
to just buying Swiffer refills and products.
I used this on tile. It performed well.
And the final product as part of point one
is something I've never really considered as a purchase.
But if you have some blankets or throws
that need some taming in your home,
this metal blanket ladder for 17 bucks allows you
to hang up four different blankets simultaneously.
And since I buy and try so many different blankets,
most of which end up at my mom's house,
I decided I would also gift my parents
this metal blanket ladder holder thing for 17 bucks
so my parents can now resume control
over the hurricane of throws in their home.
In the number two spot,
it's a heated back massager for a car or a chair,
and it's $19.
You live in a colder climate
and you don't have a car with heated seats,
this would come in handy.
Or if you want even more heat
than what your car typically delivers,
this thing gets hot.
It also delivers a massage with various pressures.
You could use this in a chair as well.
While we're on the topic of massage,
this neck and shoulder massager at Aldi this month
is also 18.99.
This one is wireless, and you can power it
with the included batteries or AC adapter.
And finally, something for my dad
because he's often left out of my videos,
I love the man very much
so I bought him a massaging heat wrap for 25 bucks.
Why would I get him this, you ask.
Well, he spends a lot of time in front of his computer.
And after using this with a three heat and massage settings,
my dad says he looks just as happy
and at least five times more relaxed
than the young woman on the packaging material.
In the number three spot,
it's time to stretch your dollar with some stretch pods.
That sounds like a really bad tagline,
but none of this material is sponsored.
Aldi is not paying me to make this video.
The three pack
of individual fruit and vegetable stretch pods for $8,
or for the same $8 price,
a universal large pod and fruit cover set
which I decided to buy and try.
This increased the freshness factor
for all sorts of produce.
You can see this stretches perfectly
over a tomato and an avocado,
no Saran wrap needed,
and these covers are also dishwasher-safe and BPA-free.
Aldi also has some great pantry storage options.
These clear base containers with a rotating lock lid
are really popular right now.
You can get two medium lock containers for six bucks
or for the same price, one large, ideal for cereal or pasta.
Aldi also has a new variety
of these on-the-go snack containers
in different shapes and sizes for $4
and even a three-pack
that allows you to store condiments on the go.
The Adjustable Mandoline Slicer you see right here for 9.99
allows you to alternate between a thin, medium, and thick,
and hopefully I won't slice my fingers as frequently
this time around.
The usually much more expensive, when sold elsewhere,
wooden wine racks at $15 hold six bottles.
This one is modern, it's reinforced with steel,
and I really like it.
If you love these kitchen items,
you're gonna wanna stick around to point six
where things get very comfy.
But first, Aldi just launched
a brand new lineup of breakfast items
beginning with a personal new favorite,
Hash Brown Sticks for $3.
Now, these are in the shape
of French toast or French toast sticks,
and I had to take these home to try
because I love hash browns.
I cooked them up in my air fryer
and then plated them so they'd look more presentable to you.
They were golden brown, they tasted delicious,
a must-buy this February as far as I'm concerned.
Next up, a breakfast skillet for four bucks.
This serves two people.
All you need to do is add six eggs,
and the kit contains the rest:
potatoes, red and green bell peppers,
and pork sausage crumble.
A pack of eight breakfast burritos is $7.
These look delicious.
And the egg sausage-cheese-potato mix
has no artificial flavors,
and these are made with real cheddar cheese.
There are different flavors available.
And for something else that really caught my eye
because I have a deep love for meatballs
and never quite at breakfast,
breakfast meatballs are apparently a thing.
They come in bacon, egg, and cheese,
or French toast and maple
which sounds intriguing but also really weird.
And for a price of $6,
I was not daring or willing to try those
because I didn't wanna ruin my love of meatballs.
So if you've tried them, please let me know in the comments.
In the number five spot, it's a mosaic solar lantern
that comes in red or green, $25.
These are really premium-looking.
They have that nice mosaic sparkle or glisten to them,
and they do have a solar-powered LED on the inside.
This looks like something you'd see at Lowe's or Home Depot
where it could be double the price.
I love this 25-foot, four-outlet cord reel for $17.
This is great for a garage or any backyard entertaining
when the weather is good.
Great cord management system as well.
Now, from outside to inside,
this four-tier accessory shelf caught my eye at $12.99.
It's essentially a glorified shoe rack,
but I was able to build it relatively quickly,
and this holds anything
from shoes to storage bin containers.
It could work nicely in a closet.
And also on the topic of storage,
this regular storage ottoman at 20 bucks
was of interest to me.
It would work great in any room or at the foot of a bed.
I found it to be great quality,
and it has a large amount of internal storage.
The lid was soft. It felt nice.
Don't mind the water stain on this
as I spilled some water on this while building,
but it would be great for organizing toys,
blankets, books, accessories,
and you can sit on it,
so you get a bench and a bin for under 20 bucks.
I love this.
In the number six spot before we get to desserts,
I don't know why I just pointed to my stomach
in a weird way,
but Aldi's got a brand new collection
of bathrobes for men and women.
These micro-plush bathrobes are 14.99.
And nothing pairs better with a bathrobe
than faux fur slippers according to my wife,
so here they are: faux fur slippers, 6.99.
These ones have straps,
which is apparently trendy right now,
but a very soft, premium, cloud-like feel,
not that I've ever actually touched a cloud,
but they're great.
I don't typically see beauty products or cosmetics at Aldi,
so worth noting if the following products appeal to you:
eyeshadow is 5.99, different types of mascara,
or mascara if you want me to say it like that, $4,
and primers are also $4.
These premium, I think I've used the word premium
way too much in this video,
but anyhow, they're leather-looking planners.
Very nice, $5.29.
And the specialty large planners are eight bucks.
This one is an affirmation planner,
so perhaps a great way to increase inspiration.
And if you haven't noticed, desserts inspire me
which brings me to point seven,
and you'll notice the upcoming dessert list
is a little shorter than usual.
Aldi does not appear to be prioritizing desserts
for whatever reason this month,
but they do have Greek yogurt with two great unique flavors,
available in mint chocolate chip or cinnamon bun
for 99 cents each.
An eight pack of drumsticks in a variety pack
is $6.48 at Aldi,
but I did review the exact same thing at Costco
where you can score a pack of 40 for $15.
So if you have a Costco membership,
that will be the better way to go.
Aldi also has a variety of My Mochi,
assorted-flavor ice cream mochis,
where you get six for 4.88.
And while I typically associate Aldi with awesome desserts,
this month, Aldi wants you to associate them
with cool mist humidifiers.
That's apparently a thing.
A surprisingly large range of cool mist humidifiers
are all at Aldi this month,
and for the sake of time, I'll only mention my favorites.
The Portable Cool Mist Humidifier
you see right here at 15 bucks
is something I wanted to buy and try.
The concept is you use your own water bottle with this
which makes it a little bit easier to travel with,
a little bit easier to clean.
You don't have that big basin or mold concerns.
You can just dispose of your own water bottle
when the time comes.
It worked great in my test.
It immediately was emitting a nice cool mist
up to nine hours of performance.
Now, if you want something
with a little bit more of an aesthetic,
the succulent diffuser you see right here for $20.
I'm honestly not surprised anymore
that a company finds a way to stick a diffuser
into virtually anything
and marketed to you,
but this does look cool, no pun intended.
I also found the oscillating ceramic tower heater
you see right here for 35 bucks.
The fact that this oscillates with top-rated safety features
and handles up to 300 square feet is impressive.
As I approach my next point,
I wanted to invite you to stay till the end of the video
where I sample a new favorite from the trunk of my car.
But first, I'm a huge fan of the Everything Bagel seasoning
which I mentioned in the past,
but Aldi now has an Everything Bagel Dip.
It's $3.29.
And sticking with the whole Everything Bagel trend
for a moment,
Franks in an Everything Bagel blanket, $3.99
where according to the package, you get a minimum of 12.
I don't think I've ever seen
anything advertised on a food package like this before
where you get a minimum of something.
Does this mean you could end up with 14 or 15?
This product is also a mystery box.
I enjoyed the Cheeseburger and Chicken Pita Melts
which you see right here for 4.99.
I opted to try the Angus Beef Cheeseburger one.
It tasted great but perhaps more as a special weekend treat
and not necessarily something you might wanna indulge in
on a daily basis.
I was quite attracted to the Budweiser Pulled Pork at $6.49.
This is available in spicy or regular.
It's an all-natural pork in a barbecue sauce
infused with actual Budweiser beer.
For the next point on my list,
with warmer weather right around the corner,
at least that's what I keep telling myself,
the adjustable activity table you see right here for $17
intrigued me.
It's advertised with a projector on it,
but this has infinite uses, and I love the price.
I also found this wood monitor stand
quite captivating at $18.
These are also trendy.
These accomodate everything from an iMac
to a desktop PC monitor, your smartphone,
and other slots for organization.
And take a look at this thing.
It's a Febreze air cleaner for $20.
I don't think I've ever seen anything like this.
It's a system that filters your air
and then pounds it with a fresh Febreze scent.
It apparently works well
with tobacco smoke, cooking odors, pet hair.
I also noticed this duo of candles
attracting a lot of interesting glances at my local Aldi.
A modern farmhouse style, one is 8.99, really large,
and a smaller, textured, ceramic candle is $3.99.
And now for the bonus buys
and to thank you for making it here, let's reward ourselves
with a little bit of trunk consumption.
The Nashville Hot Chicken Potato Chips at $1.89
had me all fired up.
I love these! They're delicious.
They've got a strong amount of kick and flavor, very crispy.
Thumbs way up for sure.
Available in gray or cream, plush area rugs are 19.99.
These are really soft to the touch
and definitely a great buy at this price.
You'll also find a bunch of party games
covering all sorts of topics
from "The Office" to MTV and "Friends" for 9.99 at Aldi
and kids' music mats,
available in all sorts of themes for $12.99,
including my daughter's favorite, "Frozen."
These are interactive with a built-in speaker.

but more importantly, thank you for your time.
I love you! Bye-bye.
