Each week we highlight a few of the more interesting items in the upcoming Aldi ad. Note that, in our area, the ad takes effect on Wednesday, but in some areas it may take effect as early as today, Sunday. This week’s theme includes camping/outdoor gear, air conditioners and…
So, in 2017 I decided to take a flyer on the Adventuridge Folding Backpack. My family likes to go camping, and folding backpacks are useful for camping because they can be made small for travel but also open up for when we take hikes and other day trips. I really…
In the springtime, usually April or May, Aldi begins to sell various kid-centric outdoor products, including sports-themed games and aquatic stuff. The Outdoor Active Disc Swing, a springtime Special Buy (ALDI Find), is part of that collection of products. Outdoor Active is, as best as we can tell, an Aldi…
I wrote here last year about Aldi’s white vinegar. It’s your basic distilled white vinegar with 5% acidity, good for cooking, using in salad dressings, or using for general household cleaning or unclogging drains. My only complaint last year was that Aldi sold its distilled white vinegar only in a…
Some of Aldi’s non-food Special Buy (ALDI Find) products come with warranties.

Our family doesn’t have much of a budget for dining out, but we sometimes compensate by purchasing more wallet-friendly restaurant-style appetizers from the frozen food aisle at Aldi. Most recently, we tried Aldi’s Appetitos Green Bean Fries with Zesty Wasabi Ranch Dipping Sauce. They seemed like a promising way to…
When it’s time to go camping, there are a range of bedding options. On one end, there are camping mats, which are light, slim, and right on the ground. For those wanting more padding, air mattresses (provided they don’t have holes) provide a more bed-like feel. But cots are something…
