- These are the top 10 things
you should be buying at Aldi this June, 2023,
and this month has some amazing and unexpected finds
that you are going to love.
We begin with one of the best deals I have ever seen
on a queen airbed for just 25 bucks;
with a built-in pump and almost nine inches in height,
this is a crazy bargain from a well-known brand.
I'm sure you're quite familiar with bug repellent fans
but it's rare to see this effective insect deterrent
at just $8.
These are extremely popular this grilling season.
And while we're on that topic,
I wish all grills came with this dual action
grill light built-in.
At $10, this attaches to the top of your barbecue's handle
to illuminate your cooking in the dark or at dusk.
It's adjustable and could even function
in a workshop or garage .
In the number two spot,
if you love to grill but are short on space,
this tabletop charcoal grill for $53
is an interesting concept.
It's a tabletop fully functional grill
with a limited footprint.
It's 24 by 19 inches
and wonderful if you live in an apartment
or you don't frequently grill.
I was quite impressed by the price
of this 30 inch outdoor fire pit for $60,
comprised of a black powder coated steel.
I like the price given its size.
The included accessories are a mesh spark screen,
a cover and a poker.
This master cutting board five-piece set for $10
includes a nicely crafted full-sized cutting board
and then four additional trays
available in all black or multicolored,
which is a very smart way to separate your food,
particularly if you live in a home
with anyone who has food allergies.
And while we are discussing food prep at the same $10 price,
I quite like this two-in-one food marinating set.
This interconnected concept allows you
to place food on the bottom tray
and then transfer your cooked food on top
to keep it separate.
With no segue whatsoever,
unless you are grilling and need a caffeine boost,
I wanted to highlight these
highly popular iced coffee makers.
They're back with some great colors
and an insulated tumbler and straw for 25 bucks.
Point three begins with a dessert I consider
worthy of universal approval
and it's this Oreo Ice Cream Cake for 12.49.
This is delicious.
My daughter Mara turns five this month,
so I might mention this to her as a birthday cake option.
Obviously I would buy her a new cake
and not this one that I sliced into
and sampled from the back of my car.
Now, despite my Oreo excitement,
I actually feel the best dessert I've tried the entire day
is this Haagen-Dazs Butter Cookie Cone
sold in a four pack for $8.
This is delectable,
almost as though Haagen-Dazs has improved
what I consider to be the already perfect drumstick.
This is a keeper.
As we shift to something more healthy,
yet still delicious,
these fruit bars at $3,
you have the option of pina colada or Caribbean fruit,
which I sampled.
These definitely get a thumbs up and are highly refreshing.
If you love consuming cookie dough as its own product,
you can now buy it at Aldi for $6 in a four pack
with a salted caramel flavor or fudge cookie dough.
I opted to skip sampling these since I was quite full
but I still had room for a rocket pop
as part of this 12 pack for $3.52.
Perhaps you called these by something else as a kid
but I don't believe I've tried one in over a decade,
and I found this to be both highly enjoyable and nostalgic.
By the way, if you are enjoying this video,
please feel free to give it a thumbs up
as that helps me more than I can explain.
Point four stays true to that highly refreshing summer vibe.
Let's begin with this 8,000 BTU portable AC for 170.
This includes a remote, it's competitively priced.
If you have your AC covered
but just need some enhanced air circulation,
this 16 inch pedestal fan at $20 in black or white.
It's a nice price
and a great way to help you beat the heat this summer.
I wanted to buy and try this rechargeable fan for $10
just to double check its velocity.
It was quite impressive.
I like that it's USB rechargeable
and it has a hook in the event you want to hang this
while you work or grill, or even in a tent,
as this is very lightweight.
I also bought this three-in-one portable fan for $6,
more so 'cause I didn't quite understand
the three-in-one design claim.
I now understand this could be worn around a neck
as an effective cooling device.
You can clip it to your waist.
It also has a built-in stand
so it could be propped up.
Solid concept for six bucks.
And if there's a lot of humidity in your home right now,
these mini dehumidifiers for $10
could go great in a closet, a pantry, even in an RV.
With maintenance, this could supposedly last up to 10 years.
Point five includes some highly eclectic food options,
like this eight pack of mini pepperoni pizza cones for $6.
If you've ever wanted to experience an ice cream cone
filled with pizza minus the ice cream,
I don't know a better way to describe this.
If you prefer your pizza not in a cone,
from Mama Cozzi, there's this tongue twister pizza,
Thin Crust Jalapeno Popper Pizza.
There I did it. 5.49.
For any White Castle fans watching right now,
these Chicken and Cheese Sliders at 5.78
is something you can make quickly.
You don't need to leave the house.
If you enjoy onion rings
which happen to be one of my mom's favorite special treats,
a one pound pack of gourmet sliced onion rings is 3.79.
If you are looking for an accompaniment
to make a quick sandwich or salad,
tossing this rotisserie styled pulled pork
or pulled chicken into it, for 7.19,
is a great way to go.
This is a beautifully seasoned one pound container.
Mediterranean Chicken kabobs are $6
in a plain or zesty flavor option for a one pound pack.
And if you'd prefer your chicken fried,
Whole Grain Chicken Fries at $8 look fantastic.
I love the "Whole Grain" branding
so you could feel just a bit more healthy
while you eat your chicken fries.
I was quite intrigued by this four-in-one
international spice container.
For 4.29, you get your choice of Korean or Thai spices
for those looking to elevate cooking
or just enjoy some new flavors.
I happen to love beef bulgogi, so I did pick this up.
Point six has a camping theme alongside some crazy prices.
It's not too often you see a six person tent for $60.
If you're camping with five other people,
you could each pay $10 for the night.
Not that I would want to be in a tent
with five other people, but anyhow;
that would pair well with the hooded sleeping bags
you see right here for $20 in green or blue color options.
Popup LED lanterns have been
hugely popular for quite some time,
and this two pack at $10 is very aggressively priced.
At just $5 per light, these might be ideal
for an emergency situation or power outage,
which is also the case for this two pack
of portable campfires for 9.69.
I featured these last year.
They are single use and can burn for up to five hours each.
If insects pose a distraction
or deterrent for any hesitant campers out there,
you might want to consider this USB rechargeable bug zapper
with LED light for $15.
The light even includes an SOS mode.
I'll get to one of the best deals
on the whole list in a moment,
but point seven is quite exciting
because I love a good hammock chair,
and this hammock meets chair at $70.
Holds up to 300 pounds, it has a sturdy steel frame
and you can enjoy the seated sensation of a hammock
without having to hang one up.
It folds for portability.
You can't sleep as easily in it
but I'll have a product for that in a moment.
I am a fan of these outdoor backpack chairs for $40.
Not only are these great chairs,
but if you're hiking, camping or tailgating
and you don't really want to carry anything or help people;
if you have one of these on your back,
I find that they're less likely to hand you a cooler
or make you carry an actual backpack.
Trust me, I know from experience.
A more traditional outdoor director's chair
at $40 right here, includes a side table.
This is amazing for tailgating
or watching your kids play sports,
even just a day at the beach.
This three-in-one foldable mat and lounger for $15
initially seemed like a foreign concept to me
until a fellow shopper said she uses this
to do yoga on top of.
I think I would just sleep on it.
I realize I sound quite lazy
between my comment on the backpack chair and this one,
but I feel like I can be open with you all.
As a final chair find, this sling folding chair for $25
felt to be of great quality
and I'd sum this up as cheap and cheerful.
Have you ever wanted to bake a pizza on a grill?
Behold! It's a pizza stone for $10.
How cool is this? This product allows you to make pizza
in an oven, or on a grill,
with micropores that eliminate
excess moisture in the pizza dough for a crisp crust.
This could also work great for cookies or other baked goods.
At $10, this cast iron press with wooden handle
could be good for a grill or a griddle.
And if you are in need of the barbecue utensil basics,
this four piece grill tool set for $13 is nicely equipped.
I have been content with the prior grill accessories
I've purchased from Aldi in the past.
My next point begins with what one could classify
as the nicest sandals ever sold for 6.99.
My understanding of women's shoes
has improved over the years,
thanks to my wife Daria
who is very impressed by these sandals.
I happen to be a fan of men's trekking sandals
with the way they wrap around and protect your feet.
At $15, you get more traction with these
than a typical pair of sandals.
They're available in both brown and black.
I saw shoppers flocking toward these summer earrings at $5,
which remind me of my Aunt Merle
who always wears funky earrings.
I love the rocket pop earrings
because they also remind me of point three!
I am on the fence about listing these
polarized sunglasses at $6 as a do-not-buy.
These men's or women's sunglasses
look identical to what I see
and feature in my Dollar Tree videos,
where there, the same thing will only cost you a $1.25,
and the quality at Aldi doesn't appear to be any better.
If you are traveling with a pet this summer,
this large pet travel cot at $30
looks far superior to what I slept on
at summer camp as a kid.
I love the foldable factor
and I should mention, none of these products are sponsored.
If you'll be spending time by the pool, a lake or a river,
for my next point, these inflatable tubes
are always a favorite this time of year for many families,
yet often with insulting prices;
so this $17 price at Aldi is quite enticing.
This inflatable Explorer boat at $20, it includes two oars.
For that price, I am impressed.
My wife and I have two kids at the moment;
we'd ultimately like to have another.
So this triple water slide at $20
could be a future contender.
Either way, just the chance for me
to overshare my hopes and dreams.
Pickleball is huge right now,
and this set at $40 includes two paddles,
two pickleballs and the net.
A six pack of washable, non-toxic jumbo chalk is $4.
A smaller 10 foot rectangular pool for $30
would be great for little kids or pets.
And if you are considering a pool
that's more substantial and deeper,
at $60 I like this 10-foot, large, round pool.
Today's bonus section has a very exciting theme,
but before I get there,
this three piece modern outdoor dining set
looks like something you'd see
from a high-end patio store,
where it would be a far higher price than Aldi's $170.
It has a nice rope design
and you get a side table.
If you have the space
or a deck that could accommodate a Boho hanging chair,
at $40 this is reminiscent of what you might see
at a nice resort or hotel.
You have a rounded or squarish type of option.
These single seat cushions at $10
are competitively priced given the patterns and material.
Outdoor chair cushions at $19
are on par with the pricing you will see at most retailers,
if you can wait for the 4th of July sales.
Otherwise at Aldi, these are a good grab right now.
A collapsible 10-foot outdoor umbrella at $90
is a very generously-sized shade-providing product,
a very large weighted base
can be purchased separately for 50 bucks if you need it.
And out of all of the places I've ever shopped,
this four foot by six foot faux turf at $25
is the most realistic I have seen or felt.
Which is weird,
because I'm saying this about faux turf at Aldi.
And now, for the bonus section
where the theme is $4 and practical.
Let's begin with this kiwi slicer, $4.
What will they think of next?
Maybe it's a corn peeler,
where you can peel a cob of corn in one single motion.
While we are on the topic of corn,
I would not buy the four pack of corn holders for $4 at Aldi
because these look and feel very similar
to the Dollar Tree four pack for a buck 25.
Moving on though, for those who have ever struggled
to keep jalapeno seeds away from your hands,
the jalapeno corer you see right here,
$4, highly practical.
If you enjoy a spicy margarita,
this might be great for your summer beverage of choice;
which brings me to these reusable ice cubes
in some entertaining shapes,
like a fish or a dolphin,
if you want something exotic
swimming in and cooling your drink.
I'm not sure how appetizing that sounds,
but the lemon and lime design is always an option
and BPA free.
I had fun today.
As usual, thanks for watching.
I love you. Bye-bye.
