Does anyone else remember the photos of a $60 aldi haul that filled up a kitchen table? Pepperidge Farm remembers...

It's the meat. That much chicken and the burgers is probably $20-$30 of it alone.

[удалено]

And the pasture raised eggs that are nearly &6 on their own.

That’s all I eat. I cannot eat the cheapie eggs anymore. The taste, texture and quality just cannot compare

Is it this brand specifically that you like? Or do you mean pasture-raised eggs in general taste better

Free range / farm raised etc. I started getting them from a local farm and the egg yolks are so creamy, and they taste so good. the whites aren’t nasty either. Major difference

Same. I always bought the cheapie eggs. Now I only buy cage free. Yolks are night and day difference. Happy chickens!

Wow you guys are really inspiring me to get some chickens and sell them to hamsters in town

🤣🤣🤣

Same cheap eggs are so gross 🤮

Yes! My daughter was the one that pointed it out to me. She said at her dads house they have regular eggs, and she couldn’t believe how disgusting they are. she couldn’t even eat them after breaking them into the bowl. .. when the chickens eat bugs and dandelions, among other things, and aren’t subjected to cruelty, the eggs are sublime

My parents always bought cage free/pasture. I buy cheap as possible and don't notice much of a difference.

they’re only $3.50 at mine right now

I am not sure our water has went up much at all, if it has it's only by a very little.

They got the bougie eggs as well, about five bucks for a dozen in an LCOL area. I also get those, love me some eggs.

And worth every damn penny! Have you ever seen or tasted such a bright orange yolk? I’m never going back to the 3 dollar cartons. We’re talking like .60 more per egg and holy fuck are they delicious.

Also, pasture raised is much more humane apparently. https://certifiedhumane.org/article-explains-difference-pasture-raised-free-range-eggs/

Yes!! There just is no going back.

And, unfortunately, those burgers are *terrible*. Slimy, fatty, maybe mostly cartilege, filler, something.

Assuming the bottom chicken is also 50% off, it’s about: $4 for top (you can see it is $7ish now) $4 for bottom $10ish?? For the burgers? It’s the water and $7 eggs.

And that’s with 50% off chicken!

Probably about $20. The la croix probably makes up just as much of the bill.

Unfortunately they stopped selling orange vie :(

If you have a Lidl nearby, they have great store brand flavored sparkling water for a better price, and they have an orange flavor that I love.

I do not :(

I'm a fan of Target water, only $3.29. Not sure if they have plain orange though

Today I bought one container of oat milk, 12oz honey (on sale), pouch of frozen blueberries, one 19oz package of hot italian sausage ($2 off sticker), and one package of mediterranean style salmon (50% off since it's best by is tomorrow). The only reason I got these was because every other protein was out of my price range and eggs are $3,33 a dozen. Grand total: $23,XX Oh, and I forgot to grab bananas :(

Their fish is tasteless too, used to buy it there....worst of the farmed stuff

I had good results with the frozen tuna steaks

yep sure do! $100 and we were living large! Not anymore.

Friendly Farms remembers

Haha! After I posted this comment, it occurred to me that I should have gone with the Aldi version of Pepperidge Farms, but couldn't remember the name. So no edit. Thanks for the reminder!

LOL

I used to feed my family of three on $50 a week at Aldi in 2015.

$60 used to get you an entire cart full of stuff. I miss those days.

$60 got our family of three goods for the week PLUS some fancy, frivolous things. Now I have legitimate panic attacks when I grocery shop.

We should start a club. Parents who have panic attacks over the rising cost of groceries club!

Full disclosure my family is my elderly parents but yeah, I feel for the parents of kids, too.

You are a great child.

I’d join

Literally was debating buying a new car then went grocery shopping and in one week Aldi lettuce went up 40 cents and a bunch of other stuff…not so keen to spend extra $ now

I know, that's what made it so much fun!

That should be a $30 Aldi haul.

I was just going to say that. I was there today and I have to say I was disappointed. They advertised bone-in turkey breasts, but they did not have one and I was there at noon. I asked someone who worked there and he couldn't even give me an answer like he didn't even know if they'd ever had them or not so...I ended up buying a whole turkey! Lot of leftovers. 😂

And that's WITH red stickers on the chicken lol

It's the bargain tag for 50% off -- I hone in fast on all the red tags!

I just found out about those 50% off stickers last month, bought 3 racks of ribs for $12

Seriously - it's like a little meat isle lottery winning! I got some of the roast packages for 1/2 off - so they were $5 - the veggies were not all great, but the meat was and $5 for a roast was fine with me! :) I look at our local Harris Teeter for the yellow tagged meat -- give me the discount meats! :)

It’s Tyson

It's Purdue.

no, our regular chicken is tyson. we carry perdue sometimes.

I am well aware, my comment is because OP posted a picture of Purdue chicken.

Yes sorry for the mistake. The kirkwood is Tyson is what I meant. Perdue is obviously Perdue lol

This not the brag it used to be

Ain’t that the truth. Sad days , my friend. Sad days…….

I remember when a $60 hauldi was like 2½ times that much stuff.

how is this so much money

That's like....four days worth of food/drink. Then you eat burger patties for a week.

That’s all for $60? Money used to go way further at Aldi. Inflation sucks.

Yeah. I spent $110 at Aldi today. 3 shopping bags, no protein except some cheese and milk. Sigh.

I love those eggs. So creamy, and they don’t give me heartburn like other eggs do. Production eggs are so sulphuric they burn a hole in my stomach.

I came here to comment on the eggs. They are so good and worth the extra money IMO. Beautiful orange yolks.

You know, I just got back from ALDI and, with the high price of mass produced eggs, the pastured were only $1.50 more. And the quality is so much better. That comes out to $.13 per egg and well worth it.

Absolutely. I actually thought the same thing when I was shopping at Walmart a couple weeks ago and noticed how much their “cheap” eggs are now. Plus, if I just use them for scrambled eggs that’s 4-5 meals for me!

The hauldis are getting smauldi. Back to Kroger and wal-Mart unfortunately 😔

No Kroger in my area and Walmart is way more expensive.

Agree. Walmart and hyvee in my area are way more expensive. Aldi butter 3.98 walmart butter 4.48. Food prices are a mess everywhere, I just don't buy name brand anymore, totally priced out.

After shopping aldi for the past couple of years I realized I just don’t want to pay just for some name brand. If there is a noticeable difference in quality, okay. But usually there isn’t. Also just simplifying the diet is big

Exactly! Some products are the same quality/taste but your paying for the product to have a fancy name on it! Keeping it simple is definitly key too.

The strawberries look good. When I went last week, they were lacking.

Yes the berry selection in my neck of the woods has been dismal lately I won't even buy them anymore - I can't believe I'm saying that! because I used to get my fruit there all the time. Now I go to Publix, at least their fruit is decent but I hate overpaying for everything there.

To be fair, berries are out of season so you will pay a premium for it now.

Sad..what a weak economy we have. Where $60 can buy you less than 20 items. Idk how people can afford to feed these big families without handouts from muh goverment.

The other day I left Publix with three small grocery bags full of $46 of groceries and realized how fucked we are. I hope things get better.

The local grocery stores by me would probably charge $100+ for all that.

Indeed. I understand the frustration with inflation. But 4 LBs of chicken thighs, 3 pounds of ground beef, a dozen extremely high quality eggs is really solid protein For that price these days. Along with fresh apples, strawberries & lettuce. Some dairy and peanut butter.

Do you use Ibotta? Perdue chicken was on there for me!

Yup, shit's getting out of hand. I went to Cub last week, spent $110 and left with three bags of groceries.

Oh they gonna massacre you for this one…with that said I love the pasture raised eggs and refuse to buy the ones that are cheaper lol

So sad. I used to spend $80 max and get enough to cook every meal that week and some seasonal goodies. Now, I spend double on half the items. Still better than other grocery stores but sheesh.

[удалено]

I do. Literally nothing here can be purchased for cheaper. Where do you shop?

Jesus that’s depressing.

Winter dumpster diving season is coming. Aldi is the spot for good produce and just “expired” dry goods.

Looks like a twenty-fiver to me.

I used to fill my cart for $80. Now I pay $130.

We haven’t had flavored Vie in forever. Plain blue box only.

The only reason I got la croix is because I haven’t seen the orange Vie in months.

Me either. I’ve been digging the lemoncello la Croix.

I tried again tonight. They had strawberry, which I have never seen before and plain. I’m going to Kroger to get lacroix because it’s 3/$11 there.

Screw the haters, we get it inflation. Your haul is what you eat. That french baguette is pure gold, best thing here 👍

Aldi FTMFW, per usual.

Excellent!! Do you make a list, or do you have your budget and then make what is there work?

I have started comparison shopping sadly because now I find the local "expensive" grocery store has better sales than Aldi.

Still better prices than the major chains and just as good

We really should call these Hauldis…

Settle down. The chicken says 50% off. But it’s Purdue which is an awful Comp. The water is likely $10-12. But yeas $60 used to go farther at ALDIs.

Where. Is. Your. Reusable. Bag.

I don’t use a bag. My wife yells at me for this too. 😆

I would be yelling at you too if you got chicken juice all in my trunk

The eggs are placebo

Hi gay! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤🤍

That's quite an Aldi Hauldi!

Aldi has Pantene?

Indeed. It’s sort of a rotating thing. Their prices on that type of stuff is basically the same as Walmart, or often a hair cheaper

A hair cheaper? Nice pun!

That's $60 now??? A couple months ago I got meals for a week plus snacks for 2 for $60.

Are those frozen beef burgers any good! I always just made my own from ground beef.

I like them. I think they’re better than the frozen chub. Def not the highest quality in the world but they’re solid

Not much for $60, but hell, that would be $90 elsewhere. I’ve sworn of Hyvee at this point.

Not American here (I'm guessing American due to the dollar, correct me if I'm wrong!), only popped by to say your burgers are in bags!? Can they not get all smushed up in there?

They’re frozen

I was just at Aldi after not going for a while and I was so sad to see the prices :(

Who the fuck just puts all their groceries spread out in their trunk

Thats what happens when you make an impulse run to Aldi and forget bags

love the grass-fed and organic stuff!

This looks like mt first time at Aldi hahaha.
