welcome back friends welcome to another groceryĀ 
haul happy 2025 this is the first grocery haulĀ Ā  video of the new year and today we are heading toĀ 
Aldi to do some grocery shopping for another weekĀ Ā  if you are new here we are a family of 13 I’mĀ 
still homeschooling eight of our children andĀ Ā  we love grocery shopping at Aldi it has becomeĀ 
one of my go-to stores I’m able to find a lotĀ Ā  of the Staples I was looking over some of theĀ 
comments and I noticed a lot of you wanted me toĀ Ā  share more budget friendly options manotti cleanĀ 
in 2025 I love to save money on groceries loveĀ Ā  to save money on food so let’s do that togetherĀ 
if there’s a video you would like to see in 2025Ā Ā  there’s a topic you want me to cover let me knowĀ 
Down Below in the comments let’s go Dodi I’m goingĀ Ā  to load up my crew like always I’m droppingĀ 
everything that we bought today down below inĀ Ā  the description with all that being said we willĀ 
see with Aldi surely we’ll see you soon [Music]Ā Ā  okay we’re at Aldi and we’ve got sopia andĀ 
Cecilia all bundled up and my husband andĀ Ā  Victoria and we’re here a little late so we’reĀ 
hoping when we get in here today we can getĀ Ā  the things that we need if not we’ll just comeĀ 
back tomorrow and that’ll be okay [Music] tooĀ Ā  who’s getting the cart today Victoria’sĀ 
got the quarter who’s going to get the cart excellent teamwork very goodĀ 
they’re pros at getting the Aldi carts whoops exellent ready to go let’s go let’s [Music]Ā 
go okay so one of the things that we’re going toĀ Ā  be trying to do more of is not buying a lotĀ 
of processed frood so you’re not going toĀ Ā  see me throw in a lot of the crackers and thingsĀ 
like that in the month of January especially ifĀ Ā  you’re trying to save money in 2025 um and alsoĀ 
say 2024 a lot of these things on the wall areĀ Ā  just not your friends organic or not processedĀ 
food just cost way more money so skipping thisĀ Ā  kind of stuff is always good if you can makeĀ 
any of this yourself even better now if youĀ Ā  find a really great deal then I like to loadĀ 
up on things like that oh wait she’s gettingĀ Ā  the last the last bread okay wow you got the lastĀ 
one um yeah this is kind of what happens when youĀ Ā  come here later in the day look at the Shelf ifĀ 
you can make your own bread it’s sometimes bestĀ Ā  we do have bread at home home though so I’m notĀ 
really too worried about it which is a good thingĀ Ā  cuz we have one Loa let me show you this oneĀ 
the knock your Sprout Sprouts off is gone orĀ Ā  I’d go over that one as well that’s a sprouted broĀ 
that’s really good this is the grain tastic theyĀ Ā  have a SE task as well and it’s $429 so there areĀ 
the ingredients right there now this is a littleĀ Ā  bit on the expensive side so if you’re looking toĀ 
save money and even things like bread making yourĀ Ā  own sour dough bread is the best option um it’sĀ 
really good it’s not expensive to make look atĀ Ā  they brought more bread oh good so it is frozenĀ 
which means it’s nice and fresh has been see onĀ Ā  the shelves I that I do love about this store oohĀ 
look at all that bread yum we’ll grab a couple ofĀ Ā  them like I was saying if you can make yourĀ 
own bread it’s always best and I’ll show youĀ Ā  in a video coming up really soon that was myĀ 
plan this year is to make more of our food fromĀ Ā  scratch so I will share with you for sure how weĀ 
make that sourdough bread so if you want to doĀ Ā  that as well you can now this is the thin slicedĀ 
bread it’s not as thick as the other one this isĀ Ā  $3.49 but they still have the grain tastic it’sĀ 
the same ingredients I believe so we’re going toĀ Ā  grab a couple more there you go well then we’llĀ 
leave some for other people cuz we have we haveĀ Ā  bread at home too we’re doing fine you goingĀ 
just sit in the cart very good do you guysĀ Ā  want bananas bananas yeah banan okay so let’sĀ 
see if they have bananas as long as we’re hereĀ Ā  they do have bananas you know let’s have DaddyĀ 
go back there and grab them I’ll hold the cameraĀ Ā  you guys grab the bananas the ones in theĀ 
back look really good there these would beĀ Ā  um more of the Whole Foods need a sweet treat ifĀ 
you’re not watching your carbon take if you loveĀ Ā  bananas it’s a really good option for you skipĀ 
the cookies and the processed even the organicĀ Ā  process snacks and grab a banana so my childrenĀ 
love the manin oranges here and they have the nonĀ Ā  GMO manin oranges which are really hard to findĀ 
this is a 3B back I’m going to get two of theseĀ Ā  cuz my children really really enjoy these a lotĀ 
and so you take them yeah this one looks okay IĀ Ā  need one more bag so we’ll grab one of those andĀ 
a lot of times they’ll just use those for snacksĀ Ā  but two bags should be perfect you also haveĀ 
to look at prices when you’re shopping becauseĀ Ā  you have to compare prices these are 359 for3 lbĀ 
and they’re non GMO and the ones at Costco are IĀ Ā  think it’s a 5 lb bag for $6.99 and they’re notĀ 
organic okay so oranges for simmer pots and forĀ Ā  eating last week we bought these or two weeks agoĀ 
we made um Garland out of them and then we haveĀ Ā  oranges for snacking bananas bread for sandwichesĀ 
and Victoria was telling me they have what did youĀ Ā  say the Chomps I saw like the mini bag like theĀ 
mini Chomps yeah behind the red cards okay let’sĀ Ā  go look okay so currently right here they have theĀ 
original beef mini sticks here’s my problem withĀ Ā  the price these sticks are like a snack beef stickĀ 
and which makes these pretty expensive so I thinkĀ Ā  it be but I would just buy the bigger ones andĀ 
cut them in half yeah these I wouldn’t buy hereĀ Ā  and if you’re trying to save money buying thingsĀ 
like beef sticks it’s also pretty expensive butĀ Ā  if you’re traveling and you need the extra proteinĀ 
things like that then these come in handy what didĀ Ā  you find did you find one to yeah I oh it’s theĀ 
perfect bars the chocolate chip dark chocolateĀ Ā  chip peanut butter what did you get Dad got theĀ 
same thing dad got the same thing which one didĀ Ā  you get so they all got them okay I’m going toĀ 
grab spring mix here okay so I’ve priced theĀ Ā  spring mix at Costco and the ingredients and thisĀ 
one is just better I like the way it tastes and IĀ Ā  will add this some of my meals Alex is Alex andĀ 
Thomas loves loves yes Alex and Thomas love theĀ Ā  Roma and this is $389 and if you don’t wantĀ 
to be using bread going with something likeĀ Ā  this for like your tuna salads salmon salads eggĀ 
salad hamburgers you can wrap things taco saladĀ Ā  uh don’t put over chips put over lettuce that likeĀ 
instead of a nacho can you do bell peppers as ohĀ Ā  yes yes yes so that’s why we’re getting the springĀ 
mix and the Roma I probably could get another bagĀ Ā  like this I probably should yeah carrots we don’tĀ 
need those today putut you some carrots we get weĀ Ā  don’t need those today we don’t one of the reasonsĀ 
why is because the way they process those so weĀ Ā  just buy the whole carrots and mommy just kind ofĀ 
like you know we peel the carrots so we just peelĀ Ā  the carrots and then we cut them up that wayĀ 
okay and for some reason the blueberries areĀ Ā  still pretty decently priced So lately my girlsĀ 
have been using the either instead of yogurt nowĀ Ā  they’re loving the raw milk with the love birdĀ 
cereal or seven Sunday [Music] cereal hey can youĀ Ā  do dis this going the back yeah yeah yeah [Music]Ā 
yeah okay so looks like the grass ground beef isĀ Ā  out I’m going to see if they have any in the backĀ 
but they do have the ground lamp so we’ll getĀ Ā  that first I love the ground lamb here yep oopsĀ 
wonderful can we get six of those two three fourĀ Ā  how about two more sweetheart so it is a productĀ 
of Australia and that is just fine that’s perfectĀ Ā  we’ll put this in with chili and meat PS it’s kindĀ 
of like our favorite thing to do oh we can we canĀ Ā  get another one that’s okay we’ll use it we’reĀ 
going to find out though if they’ve got a box ofĀ Ā  ground beef cuz sometimes they just don’t load upĀ 
the Shelf cuz it’s the end of the evening so I’mĀ Ā  going to find out so we are all out of mustard andĀ 
ketchup so good let’s grab up two mustard becauseĀ Ā  we’re going to load up a little bit to restock theĀ 
pantry thank you how many ketchup oh she got twoĀ Ā  of them okay we’re going to grab two more this isĀ 
$1.99 per bottle very good and then the mustard soĀ Ā  when you’re looking at the French as mustard whenĀ 
you’re like shopping and everyone kind of knowsĀ Ā  that name first of all it’s not 97 second of allĀ 
it has natural flavors or this does not you likeĀ Ā  that lettuce okay so they’re out of the groundĀ 
beef which is kind of what I thought might happenĀ Ā  it’s 5:00 we yeah it’s 5:00 and we have more atĀ 
home I’m not worried about it yes baby you lookĀ Ā  at the sign yes go right ahead right there um likeĀ 
I was saying so you’re getting your mustard lessĀ Ā  expensive with no natural flavors you can skipĀ 
the frenches if you have an Aldi shopping at AldiĀ Ā  in general will save you a ton of money okay soĀ 
this is not something that Aldi carries all theĀ Ā  time maybe your location will have it maybe itĀ 
won’t but if you can have butter a lot of peopleĀ Ā  can tolerate ghee so what I love about this sky isĀ 
that it’s grass-fed and pasture raised has garlicĀ Ā  in it it’s so delicious and so good so if you’veĀ 
never had this one this one is really good um andĀ Ā  then they have the original this is the pink kimanĀ 
salt this is actually excellent $9.99 is a reallyĀ Ā  good price if you have a Costco membership thoughĀ 
I think it’s $118.99 but the jar is like it’s likeĀ Ā  huge so but maybe you don’t want a really big jarĀ 
maybe you just want a smaller jar this is a 9 ozĀ Ā  jar and as you can see the ingredients are rightĀ 
there so super clean this one’s also going to beĀ Ā  grass-fed and pasture raised so good stuff loveĀ 
and Alli brings in these things so good okay soĀ Ā  another really cool find here at all theseĀ 
right now for $5.89 is the Annie’s mac andĀ Ā  cheese and I buy box macaroni and cheese weĀ 
do go with the Annies it’s the cleanest thatĀ Ā  I found on the market only thing is I would notĀ 
buy this particular um form of anies only becauseĀ Ā  this is a microwavable box of mac and cheeseĀ 
so I definitely would not be putting this inĀ Ā  the microwave so they have the Annie’s a real ageĀ 
cheddar and the white cheddar so some pretty goodĀ Ā  finds here right now if you’re going to use theĀ 
microwave cuz you absolutely have to your glassĀ Ā  is the way to go so we do buy the Annie box macĀ 
and cheese you can see here in the corner they’reĀ Ā  the boxes from Costco I think they come out to beĀ 
like a buck 14 or buck 44 box they’re way cleanerĀ Ā  than craft and if you don’t have time to make theĀ 
mac and cheese it’s your next best alternative forĀ Ā  like in a pinch and you just need something quickĀ 
and easy or like to put in your prepping PantryĀ Ā  that’s also really good $5.99 for the mini snackĀ 
bars dark chocolate cherry almond and organic soĀ Ā  if you flip it over though I want take a look atĀ 
those ingredients okay and right away what I’mĀ Ā  noticing it has sunflower oil in it so and they’reĀ 
little mini squares see how small those areĀ Ā  they’re just mini bars and there’s over a teaspoonĀ 
of sugar per bar so that’s actually a lot of sugarĀ Ā  too sometimes on their encaps they have otherĀ 
things in here that are pretty good or new umĀ Ā  they have a strawberry and they have the organicĀ 
mix Berry and I believe these have natural flavorsĀ Ā  in them now do yes they do another thing I’mĀ 
doing in 2025 as much as I can we’re skipping theĀ Ā  natural flavors I let it slide a little bit we’reĀ 
going to try really hard to really really avoid that what did you oh no what did you findĀ 
marshmallows no they’re not I think they’reĀ Ā  like backpacks they are backpacks they we needĀ 
the Poo okay we need a poo you get out this hereĀ Ā  but Alex doesn’t need a batpack he does too oĀ 
look at these cups there bears those are cuteĀ Ā  that’s cute they’re like little bears so youĀ 
take your coat off I’ll put in the car for youĀ Ā  those are super cute double wall glass cups ohĀ 
so cute do you know what a mommy would like IĀ Ā  would like some calendars for 20125 wouldĀ 
you like to see if you can find me some yeah she wants a planner like a journal it’s veryĀ 
similar to a journal oh Sophie look it right hereĀ Ā  so they have one like this hold can you open itĀ 
up for me and see what it looks like inside let’sĀ Ā  see ooh those are cute lots of Browns JanuaryĀ 
okay some goals to-do list appointments monthlyĀ Ā  expenses what does a weekly thing look like holdĀ 
that’s what the weekly them looks like okay a blueĀ Ā  one with pink polka dots oh I think it’s all theĀ 
same but different color just different colors IĀ Ā  think you’re right this in the back yeah I thinkĀ 
Mom likees those bright colors like the orange andĀ Ā  pink you want to Mom like bright colors but theseĀ 
are really nice yes I do like this one we no weĀ Ā  have this one at home I don’t know if we got itĀ 
from Aldi but it looks very similar did you guysĀ Ā  pick out um I picked out this one but I like theĀ 
the pink one with the pom poms on it the snow is laying now L Ral popcorn if You’ watched meĀ 
for a while you know I love the Lesser evilĀ Ā  brand but not all the products they make areĀ 
created equal so for instance up here the pinkĀ Ā  Himalayan is organic Nono popcorn organic extraĀ 
virgin coconut oil and then Himalayan salt butĀ Ā  if you come down over here you would think oh youĀ 
know they’re on to something they’re they’re goodĀ Ā  they’re clean everything’s great to go flip itĀ 
over though and you look down below you reallyĀ Ā  have to check things out so for me this would beĀ 
a no because it has organic flavor not naturalĀ Ā  but it’s organic but I still don’t know what theĀ 
organic flavors are and then right there you canĀ Ā  see the yeast extract so yeast extract is an MSGĀ 
just because it says lesser evil doesn’t mean allĀ Ā  the Lesser evil products are clean unfortunatelyĀ 
we typically would buy this bag and it’s $2.79Ā Ā  so really when you break it down how big are theĀ 
bags so this bag is is 4.6 Oz you can typicallyĀ Ā  get a really good organic popcorn for under $5Ā 
a pound and I’m probably being really generousĀ Ā  with that price so it’s always cheaper toĀ 
just buy your popcorn and ball or just buyĀ Ā  organic popcorn from your local store and popĀ 
it at home hi girls what’s up are those waterĀ Ā  bottles what those are cute I know a bunchĀ 
of teen girls that would love these those areĀ Ā  perfect do you also have a blue one and a pinkĀ 
one we should definitely get one one or twoĀ Ā  should we get two of them yes get we should getĀ 
two of them see so these are the hugable heatingĀ Ā  bags little faux fur hot or cold compressesĀ 
and then yep relieves muscle sorness my teenĀ Ā  girls including myself we love these don’t weĀ 
uh these are great Look At You So Soft I wantĀ Ā  to look over here sometimes they’ve got um yesĀ 
this is what I saw online so if you are dearĀ Ā  free kite hail is amazing you have to read theĀ 
ingredients I believe they change ingredientsĀ Ā  on some of their products hold on baby girl okayĀ 
so I wanted to step out of the way cuz there’sĀ Ā  there’s people shopping so here’s another exampleĀ 
the kite Hill the everything cream cheese good toĀ Ā  go no problem these are all $5.89 here which isĀ 
a really good deal lately I’ve been seeing themĀ Ā  for like $6.99 $7.99 things like that again it’sĀ 
not something that Aldi always car so you have toĀ Ā  get it while you can the plain cream cheese wasĀ 
great and this is if you’re like you don’t wantĀ Ā  as much Dairy you’re okay with the almonds thingsĀ 
like that there’s like some zanon gum in here toĀ Ā  preserve some of the things they’ve added a fewĀ 
things but nothing that I would say is reallyĀ Ā  harmful but then the garden veggie cream cheeseĀ 
has natural flavor so I would not personally buyĀ Ā  this one but then they have the Chive which isĀ 
fine again so um Hannah loves the kite Hill a lotĀ Ā  so what I’m going to do for her is I’m going toĀ 
grab some everything cream cheese for her then I’mĀ Ā  going to get her a chive cream cheese put theseĀ 
two back and I’m going to grab these for HannahĀ Ā  so if you don’t know we were vegan for a reallyĀ 
long time and that was her favorite and she stillĀ Ā  loves it so okay put these back okay so anotherĀ 
product they have right now these are littleĀ Ā  energy shots so they have one called detox thenĀ 
they have one called Energy these are $2.79 andĀ Ā  they’re clean these looked really good the famousĀ 
here today gone tomorrow really does stand true [Music] gentle so let’s check out the new findsĀ 
let’s see what’s going on I was looking at someĀ Ā  of the food online before I got here tonightĀ 
and I noticed that pomegranate strips but IĀ Ā  have to see what’s in here cuz they’re doing aĀ 
lot of natural flavors in these unfortunatelyĀ Ā  yep natural flavor oh it’s too bad I’m guessingĀ 
that these blueberries are going to be the sameĀ Ā  one yes these are the same one they can hide soĀ 
much in natural flavors it’s kind of scary oh youĀ Ā  did find one oh these are pretty oo I like thisĀ 
a lot okay we have this one we do have that oneĀ Ā  we must have bought it here then look at thatĀ 
little to-do pad isn’t that cute so you justĀ Ā  have like a couple things that company send meĀ 
that big one they want to send me a really bigĀ Ā  like electric one but I’m thinking that wouldĀ 
be nice just to have like I do want that thankĀ Ā  you sweetheart perfect look at what we have overĀ 
here so they have the macaroni and cheese rememberĀ Ā  we were just talking about the Annies let meĀ 
show you what’s in the mac and cheese fromĀ Ā  Craft the glysophates found in the pasta and theĀ 
wheat it’s not non GMO it’s not organic and thenĀ Ā  you have GMO milk and Whey they’re saying itĀ 
doesn’t have the artificial flavors preserv andĀ Ā  size which is great but it has that GMO milkĀ 
and dairy the way and all that and then theĀ Ā  noodles are going to be high in glycate it’s justĀ 
something I avoid and that’s $4.88 for five boxesĀ Ā  so it is cheaper than the Annies it’s somethingĀ 
that I would just avoid altogether we’re talkingĀ Ā  about getting rid of GMOs and we’re talking aboutĀ 
budget friendly try and eat cleaner in 2025 theĀ Ā  little steps you take really add up small stpsĀ 
if you eat croutons normally a lot of peopleĀ Ā  say well it’s organic why is it bad for me youĀ 
just have to flip over the ingredients naturalĀ Ā  flavors and has safflower oil but yes there’sĀ 
inflammatory oils in here so you can’t just goĀ Ā  off the bag and say organic and a really easy wayĀ 
to make croutons is just cut up some bread like aĀ Ā  sourdough bread put in the oven and just bake itĀ 
and you can make croutons really really easy okayĀ Ā  anything else over here they brought in for foodĀ 
anything new some of the crackers and stuff evenĀ Ā  though we’re avoiding all of these doesn’t meanĀ 
everyone else is yeah I’ve looked at the brothsĀ Ā  and if you flip them over there’s probably naturalĀ 
flavors and oils in there soybean oil mhm thereĀ Ā  again is that organic you know organic beef frothĀ 
organic beef flavor yeah so if you don’t flip overĀ Ā  those boxes and the packages you can be payingĀ 
too much for that um they do have the ShakerĀ Ā  bottles uh only reason why I wouldn’t buy thisĀ 
one is because it’s plastic even the water bottleĀ Ā  should be plastic they should be stainless steelĀ 
this is a really good brand that’s a really that’sĀ Ā  a pretty decent price the stasher is excellent ifĀ 
you want to not use as many zipl bags and thingsĀ Ā  like that these are just reusable silicone storageĀ 
bags we have some of these they do come in handyĀ Ā  that’s really cute could you have a littleĀ 
espresso maker little coffee maker oh that’s adorable okay so these are $4.99 is that the oneĀ 
you want sopia did you look at did you look at theĀ Ā  other ones here did you look at all of them theyĀ 
have a couple different ones so you’re thinkingĀ Ā  for your Calico Critter set okay so you wantĀ 
both of them they’re different I mean they’reĀ Ā  completely different I get this one you can getĀ 
this one maybe Grace would like that for herĀ Ā  little of her Corner mhm usually when they comeĀ 
shopping with me they get that little somethingĀ Ā  you like I never would have thought it would haveĀ 
been coffee okay so my husband was pointing outĀ Ā  over here avocado Mayo so this kind of upset meĀ 
because of the ingredients in here $4.98 you knowĀ Ā  they’re trying to be a little bit healthierĀ 
but it’s also filled with soybean oil canolaĀ Ā  oil modified food starch and the list goes onĀ 
um that’s disturbing yeah avoid that avoid itĀ Ā  okay so they also are bringing in my husband’sĀ 
like let me put it back we didn’t grab it yetĀ Ā  you’re so cute we’re grabbing the body path scaleĀ 
for $9.99 it’s the last one he’s like let me holdĀ Ā  on to that the one I’m looking at I think is aĀ 
couple hundred so just haven’t bought it thisĀ Ā  does a lot of the same things like measuresĀ 
weight body fat water content muscle mass andĀ Ā  bone mass so recommends calories intake I doĀ 
not count my calories so that doesn’t matterĀ Ā  to me so we’re going to try it 10 bucks savingĀ 
money in 2025 they also brought in well theyĀ Ā  brought in lots of gym equipment didn’t theyĀ 
and glasses if you need reading glasses I doĀ Ā  no you don’t deskt have dry we were looking atĀ 
that too thought that was pretty cool oh JulieĀ Ā  was just talking about making candles candleĀ 
set now they have the adult charger my kidsĀ Ā  love theirs by the way we they got this squishĀ 
mellow for Christmas this is the rechargeable SIĀ Ā  toothbrush for 20 bucks wow that’s that’s a stealĀ 
drawer organizations organizers did you see thatĀ Ā  it’s a retractable wall hook that’s cool that isĀ 
cool then they have the glass jar sets if you’reĀ Ā  looking for that they’re bringing in candlesĀ 
I have to say this candle over here uh smellsĀ Ā  like definitely smells like coffee does it smellĀ 
like a milk chocolate mocha does it smell goodĀ Ā  oh stinky that one smells super sweet a dirtyĀ 
chyatte oh you like that one oh goodness meĀ Ā  this is nice you have a lot of people that drinkĀ 
coffee in your house this is the insulated craftĀ Ā  and then they have these sweet little glass mugsĀ 
I was looking did you see these Victoria I wasĀ Ā  looking at those online too they are cute theyĀ 
have like little Lids kind of like the ones IĀ Ā  have during Christmas so sweet yeah so looks likeĀ

are the glass oh these are glass Brew bottlesĀ Ā  so you can put your tea in there it’s called aĀ 
glass Brew bottle with sleeve that’s cool thatĀ Ā  cool glass and they’re glass which is greatĀ 
okay then back to groceries let’s [Music] go okay saving money let’s talk about spaghettiĀ 
sauce best bang for your buck $1.99 for the simpĀ Ā  simple nature marinara sauce it’s delicious thisĀ 
is the tomato basil this is what we prefer theyĀ Ā  also have a marinara pasta sauce there’s theĀ 
ingredients on the pasta sauce $1.99 we makeĀ Ā  our Cecilia chili with us don’t we we make lasagnaĀ 
soup with this can we make lasagna tonight maybeĀ Ā  sometime this week no we can’t do it tonightĀ 
we have s’s chili at home okay so we’re goingĀ Ā  to grab 12 of the JS they usually buy 12 when weĀ 
come in here because in our house we go throughĀ Ā  through four at a time and actually sometimesĀ 
with lasagna soup if we make a big batch weĀ Ā  go through like six thank you thank you there youĀ 
go how much do we have now okay let’s count 2 4 6Ā Ā  eight 10 we have 10 s two more two more also hereĀ 
a great deal is the pasta um we love the pastaĀ Ā  here things like if you’re looking for more of aĀ 
gluten-free option they have the brown rice and keĀ Ā  pastas over here 25 that’s crazy and expensiveĀ 
if you price anywhere else it’s going to costĀ Ā  probably double that and all it is see it saysĀ 
95% organic brown rice flour 5% organic quinoaĀ Ā  flour that is amazing clean super clean it’sĀ 
all organic great option if you’re looking forĀ Ā  that then they have if you’re okay with eatingĀ 
things like chickpeas so the rotini and the pineĀ Ā  pasta this has got 12 g of protein per servingĀ 
it’s it’s really good if you flip over the backĀ Ā  here it’s n GMO 100% chickpea flour that’s itĀ 
really delicious we are going to be getting theĀ Ā  spaghetti noodles I like to have some of theseĀ 
on hand just in case like I’m having a long dayĀ Ā  there’s things going on these are the spaghettiĀ 
noodles they’re just organic wheat flour that’sĀ Ā  it $1.99 is incredible so we are going to grabĀ 
four of these boxes it’s normally what I grabĀ Ā  but I think I’m going to add two more becauseĀ 
I’m trying to build up my Overstock again forĀ Ā  um my prepping Pantry oh wait a second what did IĀ 
do here I want the H ones let me go back and get HĀ Ā  normally when I shop I buy extra for my preppingĀ 
Pantry it’s how I shop it’s I always shop duringĀ Ā  the holidays I didn’t there was enough spendingĀ 
going on so I just didn’t do that so what do IĀ Ā  have I need one more let me grab one more let’sĀ 
see here here’s one right here so now I have fourĀ Ā  so obviously my kids aren’t entirely watchingĀ 
their carbs like I am I was asked that they areĀ Ā  going to do more animal based as well but ifĀ 
Sicilia and Sophia want lasagna soup I’m goingĀ Ā  to make it for them the ingredients are cleanĀ 
they’re burning a ton of energy if I do changeĀ Ā  my mind I’ll let you know but so far this is whatĀ 
we’re doing oh they also look what they broughtĀ Ā  in let’s check it out here it Aldi they do haveĀ 
an avocado oil chip and it’s typically not tooĀ Ā  bad there’s natural flavors done I think they’veĀ 
changed that oh maybe it’s this one let me lookĀ Ā  that says potatoes avocado oil and Himalayan saltĀ 
and these are really good if you’re looking forĀ Ā  a clean potato chip the kettle chips avocado oilĀ 
Himalayan salt see what happens when you come downĀ Ā  here Kettle chip original and you flip it overĀ 
completely different let’s see what’s in hereĀ Ā  potatoes vegetable oil uh contains sunflower cornĀ 
or Canola highly inflammatory you don’t want thatĀ Ā  that one is15 so a lot of people like oh it’sĀ 
a bigger bag doesn’t cost as much I’m going toĀ Ā  skip these and save some money but the problem isĀ 
when you’re eating the chips you’re putting inflamĀ Ā  oil is into your body with this one you are notĀ 
avocado oil is a much better option if you’reĀ Ā  going to have some potato chips another thingĀ 
I love here is the Selsa I’m actually going toĀ Ā  grab one for the kids because they wanted SelsaĀ 
and ships with their movie um let’s grab one forĀ Ā  them to have right away and then one for theĀ 
pantry over stuck so $259 the ingredients areĀ Ā  really good they have three different levels ofĀ 
heat we’re going to get the mild one that’s likeĀ Ā  the lowest one there’s the ingredients very decentĀ 
my kids love it so it’s a win-win okay so I wasĀ Ā  looking look at the ginger turmeric chicken brothĀ 
it’s too bad that it’s free range chicken saysĀ Ā  organic but free range chicken which rather notĀ 
get Bare Bones okay this also was at Costco yesĀ Ā  yeast extract the first thing I saw the MSG is inĀ 
here so that’s something I would avoid I rememberĀ Ā  them bringing these in last year again these areĀ 
all if you can see like here today gone tomorrowĀ Ā  kind of things they normally I don’t think haveĀ 
these either remember these being okay last yearĀ Ā  okay so I was looking over some of the ingredientĀ 
ingredients and they all all the ones I kind ofĀ Ā  looked at look fine so if you’re looking for aĀ 
really quick and easy fast soup $2.99 you canĀ Ā  load up on these of course budget friendly WiseĀ 
It’s always cheaper to make your own soup but ifĀ Ā  you just don’t have the time to do that these lookĀ 
really good they have some like lentil ones butĀ Ā  that carrot and Ginger is really good sure theyĀ 
have the mushroom one I think those are the threeĀ Ā  they have right now oh they also have Pacific hereĀ 
oh this is good stuff vegetable lentil soup whatĀ Ā  do you get for this one $2.98 this is typicallyĀ 
pretty good I’m looking for like any of the oilsĀ Ā  you know they change those ingredients on usĀ 
I like Pacific pretty good stuff plant-basedĀ Ā  vegetable lentil soup Sira what are you goingĀ 
to be doing today you’re eating the salt eatingĀ Ā  something what are you eating you’re eating aĀ 
big stick right you’re eating a big stick you’re so these are so whipped upĀ 
thank you for my phone back oh [Music] gosh I always like looking at the FrozenĀ 
area see if they bring anything new in I’m notĀ Ā  really seeing anything I don’t need any of theĀ 
cauliflower rice we just got some from CostcoĀ Ā  when I was there but I do need to grab some halfĀ 
and half so this wasn’t like a huge haul but weĀ Ā  didn’t need to get a few things they’re out ofĀ 
meat which was kind of a bummer you want to grabĀ Ā  some half and half for Grace sure okay here noĀ 
that’s not it baby girl this one remember ohĀ Ā  yes right put that on the card for me thank youĀ 
another great option here $3.79 it’s a reallyĀ Ā  good price actually and it’s just um certifiedĀ 
organic milk and certified organic cream that’sĀ Ā  all that’s to it I’ll see what else they have downĀ 
here just in case I might have missed something aĀ Ā  lot of people at their Aldi have a butter that’sĀ 
really similar to carry gold they don’t ever carryĀ Ā  it here it’s like a green bar we don’t have itĀ 
someone told me that the bacon here is really goodĀ Ā  I’m looking into that bacon so we’re going to grabĀ 
some peas from the back let’s see if we can findĀ Ā  them always in the back here doing this so let’sĀ 
see my kids like this with their lasagna sometimesĀ Ā  they’ll make it with their l lch these are 10 ozĀ 
bags so I get four we’ll get five of them there’sĀ Ā  five Sophia would to put this in the cart youĀ 
got it you want to put these in the car we haveĀ Ā  two more we also have things like the smidge andĀ 
broccoli butternut squash and then they also haveĀ Ā  sweet potatoes which is really good and that’sĀ 
a wrap not a huge cart full of food but it wasĀ Ā  everything we needed we skipped all the heavilyĀ 
processed snacks we didn’t buy the popcorn mhmĀ Ā  didn’t buy the popcorn but we did find a coupleĀ 
fun finds that are actually going to be veryĀ Ā  useful in our house um that we’ve needed for aĀ 
while so there we go that is it that is everythingĀ Ā  we got let’s go check out and see what this grandĀ

  1. Hi… Stylish Cicelia… She throws the things in to the cart stylishly āœŒāœŒšŸ’ƒšŸ’ƒI like that

  2. Fun fact the Annie’s at Costco actually have slightly different ingredients and is specifically made for sale at Costco only. The Costco one is slightly better ingredients in my opinion also, than the one sold at regular stores. I also think they definitely taste different. We only buy it from Costco.

  3. Yes!!! Keep the videos coming. 😊
    Also can u do videos of your personal care and home remedies for your kids when they are sick.

  4. I make home made bread since just before Xmas it is so yum4 ingredients no sugars
    I buy the. Ghee. At. Cost co New Zealand organic ghee it is so yum

  5. Aren’t there flavors in the Annie’s puff from Costco? I guess what’s the difference? The last time I looked they weren’t perfect either but definitely a better choice

  7. Hello I just found you last month. Love your channel! Do you mind sharing what/where you have studied for nutrition. I would love to learn about the food we eat.

  8. Nice shopping šŸ›’šŸ›ļø haul ā¤ā¤ Stacey from Virginia šŸŖ·šŸ‘‹šŸ½ā¤ā¤

  9. I’m just wondering your opinion on this, my friend that’s a rd dietitian says that the fruits with a thick peelable like the mini tangerines and oranges any pesticides are really negligible … I believe they are part of the clean 13 and you don’t really need to worry about pesticide so that is a way for people to save money. Also just look at the dirty dozen and make sure that those are the things that you always buy organic.

  10. I love to watch the (Littles) help with the shopping…It is so much fun…Thank youā¤ļøšŸ™ā¤ļø

  11. I just tried this fruit jerky i got it at cvs it’s called solely and its made in mexico but they are delicious n it’s organic n its non gmo and the only ingredient is the fruit and nothing else since i have an apple allergy I can’t get any fruit leathers because it’s usually cut with apple , or it has high fructose corn syrup in which i am also allergic to

  12. Nature flavors are all nature fruit , veggie or seasonings flavors but why they only say nature flavor is because they dont want other companies stealing their trademark Recipe. Just so you know .. not that any of its bad .

  13. Hey. How do I get all the fat and grease out from the lamb??? I have gastroparesis and can’t handle certain foods…

  14. I have noticed that you sometimes have the massive blue water bottles in your van. Are you not connected to the water amenities where you currently live?

  15. Love your family! I would love to see the kids do the shopping sometime, as well as your shopping at other stores like the thrift store. I would also like recipes for hair dye.

  16. I'm 71 years old and live alone.
    I live on my Social Security retirement.
    I eat exactly like my grandma did way back when.
    I still us lard when baking.
    I still eat fried foods.
    My grandma lived to be 81 years old and was very healthy.
    I just had my physical and all of my numbers from my blood work was really good.
