When it comes to being outdoors in the summer heat, nothing is more important than water. In my hiking experience, few things are more irritating than 1) a water bottle that sweats into my backpack or 2) a water bottle that doesn’t keep the water cold. That’s where a double-walled…
Aldi doesn’t lack for chicken. Chicken wings, chicken nuggets, chicken tenders, and even whole boxes of chicken (regular or Southern style). Kirkwood is the most common Aldi brand for anything chicken related, whether it be Regular Buys or Special Buys. Such is the case with this: Kirkwood Whole Grain Chicken…
Compact flashlights are a useful tool, even in the era when cell phones can do just about everything. While an LED bulb from a smartphone can be helpful in a pinch, nothing beats the brightness and ease of holding that comes from a traditional flashlight, especially one that can put…
One of the great pastimes of a hot summer is time in the water. Over the years, we’ve tried out our share of pools and sprinklers, with mixed success. Aldi sells a generous amount of that stuff in the early summer, from things you can float on to things you…

They’re all Special Buys (ALDI Finds), which means they’re here until they’re sold out, not to be seen again until next spring. In the camping supplies department, the bedding has to be…
Special thanks to Dave for helping us in testing this cooler. If you’ve done any serious outdoor adventuring, there’s a chance you may have heard of YETI. They’re a company that specializes in a number of products … none more famous than their coolers, which claim to be as indestructible…
