Hi Mary please have a check up with your doctor about the wrinkles on your forhead. This could be a sign of heart issues. Please look this up. take care.
I completely agree with you about the coffee! They have a wonderful German coffee that my husband just absolutely loves and so I get that for him and I get the espresso in the yellow package and we mix them together and it is such a good blend. You were saying about the shredded cheddar cheese. I get a big block of cheddar cheese from Sam’s club and when I want it, should I just put it through my processor it just is such a wonderful job. Sometimes I may add a little rice flour to it, because if I’m making macaroni and cheese for my kids, then it helps to second and the rice flour really doesn’t give it any different taste.
I would really love to see how do you store everything because I’m running out of room and I didn’t even start to harvest anything from the garden this year yet I am very interested in you making a video about that. Also, I have to do most things in pint jars because I have two instant pots That I use for pressure painting because I have a glass top stove. I can water bath pan, my jellies and jams. Like for instance, I just made tomato jam yesterday I made a jars of that and three jars of onion relish for the hamburgers and hotdogs and things. I did my own bone broth. All of that I do everything from scratch. however, I was using Monk fruit as a sweetener, but it has that xylitol in it. They’re saying now that is bad for you and could cause cancer. Since I am of breast cancer, that worries me so I hated to do it, but I went back to using Stevia and a little bit of sugar just so it doesn’t have that funny Stevia taste. If you need suggestions for sweeteners other, then I’ve used agave nectar honey which I get from a local woman. She has huge hives. Coconut sugar is just too expensive for me to buy and some of these things are too expensive for me to buy. I think it’s sad that, we have to resort to using sugar for things because it’s the cheapest. So if you have any suggestions, I would love to hear it. I’m sorry for the slow reply. I just want to do the best for my family ends growing everything that were eating on a daily basis is my best bet. We are all organic.
@@jansmith3158 I also have deep wrinkles so I’m glad you said that. Summer minor cost Cuz. I deal with a lot of pain every day but I will talk to my doctor. I’m going in a week. Thank you very much.
Just wanted to tell you how much I appreciate you and sharing your knowledge. I was a canner before and hasn’t gotten back into it and you have so many great ideas!! I have to go find your recipe for sauerkraut. Are used to help my friend’s mother make it every year but it’s been a long time. I have to go find your video now.
@@MarysNest Yay! I'm looking forward to seeing this recipe. My husband enjoys 'Tex-Mex' flavors but being from the Northeast U.S. I didn't grow up making those foods so I'm still learning!
Dear friends, I am a family of one. I blanch and freeze the zucchini and spinach. It cuts down on waste and saves money. The same can be done by peeling and blanching the sweet potatoes as patty slices or mashing them and placing them in ice cube trays.
Hahaha Hello Mary, I am in Australia and watching this video, I was a little disappointed to see you filming while you were driving, only for a few seconds until I remembered that you drive on the other side of the car.... Love your videos. Thank you
I converted my coat closet (maybe its a utility closet since in the hallway) into an "survival pantry". I got shelving at goodwill, and let me tell you, it is packed to the top. The conversion is only a hassle for a little while, then you don't miss it.
This is SO true! We don't have closets outside the two bedrooms so I "converted" an old steamer truck that held quilts and knitted blankets into my prepper storage! Now the beautiful blankets are on display in living areas waiting to get cozy and I have an entire pantry in this old steamer trunk 😂
Well done! Probably not easy to find a place for coats but likely easier than finding space for food. I did the same with the landing going down to the basement at the beginning of last year. The top half of the wall already had an indented section with shelves, so I relocated everything out of there, cleaned and painted it nice, even stenciled the stairs to make it pretty, and hung up some small additional shelves for my tinctures. The shelves have hooks so I got canvas bags at the thrift shop to hang on them and store light weight foods, and also got some buckets for additional storage. Mine is packed also and I need to do some rearranging, along with eating some of the food that expired this year. I'm not used to having a pantry and it does take some time and attention to maintain it.
Hi Mary, I am from Germany and it's so funny to see the brands in your aldi. I know aldi since my childhood and I buy there every month. Your Tips for storing are great. I have so much learned from you. Thanks a lot. Some weeks ago the book from Sally Fallon morello about traditional nutrition's came here in Germany out. And I love it. Since 20 years we make our Sauerkraut at home and it's much better than the canned ones. In the next week I want to start with your sourdoh recipe. Please excuse my terrible English writing. 😂. Thank you for all of your nice videos. You are so sweet and kind. ❤
I grew up watching my mom reading labels at the supermarket back in the 60's and she drove my dad nuts because she took so long, so he'd eventually go wait in the car. But back then even processed food didn't contain as many lab made chemicals as they do now. Thank you for going over everything, the recipe suggestions, , and to Ted for filming the details without making me dizzy. You make a great team and are the most helpful channel for everything to do with the kitchen. Looking forward to seeing you hit a million subs in the future and getting your new cookbook in August 😊
Hi Mary, yes I would really like you to make a prepper pantry for our temporary pantry, or whichever one you said you can show us how to make, thank you!
I feel like I received a gold star. I buy the healthier choice, just like Mary. I wish the Aldi in my area had more of the pagasa brand noodles available.
My husband likes the Q10 cream, but when we are shopping he'll say loudly "Don't you need some more face cream?" so no one thinks he's the one buying it. Lol!
Hi Mary, I enjoyed Mary and Ted on the go. Many folks may not have heard that Aldi and Trader Joes are now owned by the same parent group, as I recall. We are in the Carolinas and have Aldi, but we miss when one of our kids lived in Houston=HEB!
Mary is that friend everyone needs in their life. ❤ We have Savers and I love to shop there!!! I recently went to my first Aldi's ever when on a trip. I wish I could have brought stuff home with me, but I flew.
Although I agree with the healthier option of non-quick versions of grains/pasta/etc, they would come in handy in a grid down scenario since we wouldn’t have to use as much energy to prepare. 😊 I would love to see a queso recipe. We LOVE queso in our house. Thank you for taking us shopping with you today. Lots of great tips & ideas! ❤
Thank you Mary. For the first time today grocery shopping I was scared. Prices are quadrupling. Good part of my shopping was done at my local ALDIs! God bless you for what you do for us. ❤
Super video. You are so amazing at teaching the best practices/choices and not coming across as preaching or condemning those who at various points on their journey. So encouraging all the time. I smiled thru the entire video. (ok, I skipped the meats as I am vegetarian lol) Thank you so much for all you do. And yes to the Queso recipe. (The filming etc was also excellent)
Mary, dear, I would love ideas on finding space when you don't have space for extended pantries! Thank you for showing good deals and good decision making when reviewing those labels! Even though I'm a devout Christian, I'm still really struggling with high anxiety every time I shop and see the prices go up for less product! It's freaking me out! I love learning what can be made ourselves for a better quality, quantity, and price! God bless you, Mary!
Thank you for another great video Mary! We went to Aldi last weekend and spent $250 😮but it was a ton of food including some more expensive items like bacon, fresh salmon and nuts. I have really learned to read the labels from you! Thank you! We love the Moser Roth chocolate too - the orange is my favorite. Another thing we stock up on is the extra fine frozen green beans - I can't find those at our regular grocery store. I buy the coconut oil you showed - I'll have to do a price comparison and see if I can get a better deal. The price of that has really increased in the last year or so ☹One good thing though - I've been removing the labels and reusing the jars. They are a nice size and the plastic mason jars lids from walmart fit them! I would love to see a queso video!
I just found out this year that the bagged lentils that you make soup from... can be put in water and sprouted and eaten as sprouts or the sprouts put in the soil and grown as plants. My chickens ate them right up as they ate every blade/leaf of green out of my yard. Anyway, I was very surprised they are seeds and not just to be used for soup.
It just depends on how the lentils have been prepared ... if it's the whole seed it would usually sprout into " sprouts " which can be eaten or planted . It the seeds have been husked and split ( referred to as " dal " in Indian stores and used for making a fairly thick soupy dish , often to be eaten with rice ) those would not grow ! When in doubt you could look for the" eye "which would show up on a whole seed ! Hope that helps !
@@maureensamson4863 I had a bag of just regular split or halved lentils, that are used to make soup, in my cabinet for a LONG time. I wanted to see if I could sprout them. I put them in a jar of water for 24 hours...then drained them and let them sit. Twice a day I rinsed and drained them. After just a few days little sprouts popped out and they got bigger and bigger as the days went by. Finally I took them out and spread them on some soil in a nursery flat I have, and covered them with more soil and kept them moist and they grew and grew. I put the flat out for the chickens and they devoured them. I was shocked, as they didn't look like seeds...more like brownish split peas...no eyes.
I shop Aldi weekly. We love the organic ketchup, mustard, block cheeses, some organic veg and fruit during non-growing seasons. Then I shop farm stands. My husband LOVES the organic coffee beans. I can tomatoes and this year I'll can some marinara, but the organic tomato basil sauce is great to have on hand for when I'm working. Last thing I want to do is get home at 6:30/7:00 and start a cooking project. My husband will make pasta and heat up the sauce for a quick dinner for us. I've purchased Raos at Costco much cheaper so that's the only time I buy it. Thanks for taking the time to go through Aldi and share the best buys and what to avoid. Nice to see I've honed my skills watching your videos. Thanks for the education.
Here in Utah, I long for my Midwest Aldi. I went there first when shopping. I built up my prepper pantry through Aldi. Even though I can't shop there now, I picked up tips today when you shopped. I watched while making ricotta; cooking barley ahead, and having sardines for lunch as you taught. Thanks for your influence on my family!
Thanks Mary for this video! My daughter pre-ordered your cookbook for me for mother's day. I can't wait to get it!!! Love the calmness in your videos during this chaotic time❤
Love our Aldi for some of their organic items at very reasonable prices. And the 'plain' artichoke hearts - I DO stock up (watching the expiration dates) - they are so good tossed with pasta either hot or cold as a salad 🙂
Mary I just LOVE your jus outlook. I am somewhat new to your channel, but am learning and picking up so very much. Thank you for you all your advice. 🤗💕
Mary,the Rao tomato sauces are supposed to be lower in carbs hence the keto choice for tomato sauces. One can also cook Arborio rice in tomato sauce and make Risotto and serve with Parmesan ❤
I say YES to everything you have offered, Mary. The ‘little nuggets’ of info you have shared is wonderful. Learn so much from you - you uncomplicate what I have a tendency to complicate. Thank you, Mary!
I hit our closest Aldi a couple of weeks ago too. We got a lot of the same items 🤣 Ours did have the whole chickens so I got one and cooked it in our Sun Oven and it turned out great. Since we are in the high 90's & 100's here in Texas, cooking in the Sun Oven saves having to use our oven. Saves a bundle on electricity!
You made me really miss not living in Texas. So glad to see they still have La Madilaines. Can you show how to make a copy cat of their multi grain rye bread, their escolloped ham casserole and their cream of multi mushroom soup. Also really miss that buffet style restaurant called Lubby's.
Hello Mary, thank you for a great video. I love to watch your videos. You are always sharing such a great tips. You are lovely person. Thank you and have a great day.
There's a CZcams person called Cowboy Kent Collins that has a way to make "cowboy coffee". I had to give up coffee because of the heart burn. I make coffee his way now without a problem so maybe check him out.
Hi Mary, I'm new to your channel and I must take a moment to tell you how much I enjoy your channel. You always have a wealth of knowledgeable information that is very much appreciated and enjoyed. Thank you for having such a refreshing channel to enjoy.
Hi Mary! I put the cart before the horse when it came to building my extended pantry. I would love some ideas about how to organize these stacks of boxes and buckets. I think I've decided that buckets are a pain in the bucket. My kitchen has always been big enough until I discovered bulk buying and now I have a mess. Don't get me wrong though- I'm happy to have this mess! I got tickled when you said your mother would mention a package of food wasn't even a pound and then you also noted that a few times. That bugs me too, 12 ounces... What happened to 16 ounces, especially with bacon! Thanks for taking us shopping and for all of the tidbits you throw in along the way ❤
Hi Mary👋! just wanted to share this with you, I think you’ll be quite tickled!! I was in my local Aldi, and I saw the maple syrup that you pointed out in the video, only this was organic maple syrup, grade B, aged in bourbon barrels. They had just got the shipment in that morning. Well some store employee had mistakenly priced them for $1.49 each!! At first I didn’t believe it, but after reading the price labels closely, I saw that really was the price! Well the good Lord gave me the thought to stock up, so I got more than a few😊(however I did leave plenty, as my mother taught me to always leave enough for the next bargain hunter). Well when I got to the checkout, the cashier said that couldn’t be the price because they only got them in that morning and they wasn’t supposed to be on sale, she called the manager, and the manager looked at the ticket and told her it was true!!! When I went for my weekly shopping yesterday, I saw that the price for them is now labeled $5.99 each!! Apparently management had swiftly corrected that mistake! However, thank you Jesus, I now have enough pure organic grade B, maple syrup, to keep my extended pantry happy for quite some time!! Love from the mountains!!👋❤
My sister recently taught me about zucchini flour. Peel, slice, dehydrate and send through the food processor. Another way to stretch foods and preserve the over growth of zucchini we all find in the summer months.
Mary.....Thank You for showing a bunch of Aldi's Organics for people to see. Which reinforces what I keep saying.......that it IS affordable to EAT ORGANIC!! That it IS easy to stop buying the poison pesticide crap and EAT CLEAN. Yes.....Aldi's Organic Coconut Oil IS expensive; instead, get it at walmart.....MUCH more reasonable! You didn't show the Simply Nature canned Org beans. For a 'few cents' more, get Organic beans.....since beans (canned & dry) have some of the highest amounts of pesticides on them. And you should have shown Simply Nature's Organic butter (1 lb); even though it is salted, I will still buy it to make my Ghee. Simply Nature Org Ground Beef........get the 3 pack/FOUR pound when it's $17.96.....which works out to $4.49 per pound. Between Aldi's and Walmart (for those who do not have a membership to Costco/BJ's/Sam's).....you CAN ditch the TOXIC CRAP and move to EAT ORGANIC, and come no where near 'breaking the bank'! NO EXCUSES!! I do the majority of my shopping at Aldi's, Walmart, BJ's and Costco (98% Organic foods), and shop my two grocery stores for the SALE items (IF they can beat the $ of Aldi's/Walmart/BJ's/Costco)!! And I do this on a monthly budget of $280!! So, again, NO EXCUSES!! (STOP POISONING YOURSELVES......AND YOUR KIDS!!)
I love shopping at our local Aldi! My mom made tuna patties a lot. She also made creamed tuna for over toast or crackers (her favorite way) instead of using the more expensive salmon. She also made what she called zucchini stew (no measuring just a huge soup pot lol) Fresh zucchini and or summer squash, mushrooms, onions, bell peppers, tomatoes (fresh or canned), salt, pepper, garlic, and oregano and Italian sausage. She sliced the squash, and chunked all of the other ingredients, put the cut up sausage in the pot raw and set it on the back of the stove to cook until the sausage was done. Then she added parmesan cheese. She served it with a side salad and homemade garlic bread. I still make it because it's healthy and delicious. It's always a summer staple around here when the garden is producing.
Hi Mary Ken here. I first subscribed and became a patron after your first Aldi video. I went today and got the simply nature applesauce, ghee (had a lot at my aldi), crackers, refried beans, some sea salt chocolate and mustard. They were out of the little cans of chili peppers. Surprising. I usually buy a bunch. K see ya around the ferment counter.
Much love Mary from VA. Thanks for the videos and a shoutout to Ted for helping you make your content! I make homemade wine with the Aldi pomegranate and plum juice for my parents and they love it! Highly recommended! Anyone can do it.
Had a great time at okie homestead. Didn't get a chance to say hi you were busy and I figured the people there needed your knowledge more than I since I have been doing this for 30+ years. I do still learn new things every day from people like you that are willing to share.
Could you please tell us how to make non dairy yogurt. I have RA. My rheumatologist wants me to cut out dairy and gluten to reduce inflammation. I LOVE yogurt!! I purchased a coconut yogurt but I can't seem to make it correctly. Thank you for your help. I have learned SO MUCH from you!!
Hi Mary, I'd love to see your queso recipe! I agree 100% about hving the freeze dried coffee, if we lose power can still easily even have an iced coffee with this convenient coffee that honestly for the price is amazing!
it's all about time, and if there's little time to prepare meals, people will pay more for the prepacked foods which will get them on their way to work. My 27 year old adult child (married with a grandbaby on the way) drives 70 miles to work, one way. Some days they are at work until 10pm! They don't have hardly any extra time to fix lunch, let alone even stop at Aldi's (which we love). I do have them started with a small salsa garden and they love it. But for many people, it's too time consuming to do the retiree thing of leisurely shopping, cooking, and thoughtful meal planning. Take-out is "cheaper" when you consider time. Time is money. Hopefully with arrival of new baby they will take stock of their lives and decide to prioritize on slow family meals, and pleasant conversation. Thanks for your channel.
I've been saving the plastic pasta sauce jars from ALDI to use with freezer jam. I don't like using glass jars in the freezer, as sometimes things tumble. Was tossing one recently and wondered how I could repurpose, and freezer jam came to mind. I normally don't save plastic jars but this one seemed like a good idea. It does feel a little weird as I've been purposely trying to use less glass.
Hi Mary, I'm a coffee snob too😂 I have been snagging up the organic Honduras beans! They're on sale for $5.95😮. I do buy ground coffee, but they can add soybeans sticks, etc and you'll never know!
It's hard to buy higher priced things like you do everyone has to watch every penny these days and if you're on a fixed income 😞 you have to get what you can. Thank you for sharing 😊
Wow! I am from Canada and even with the exchange rate food is waaaayyyy cheaper where you are. I am frugal and prefer whole foods, but no way to leave a store with a (not-neccessarily-full) bag less than $50 CAN. Love that you are sharing with folks how to shop healthier and more affordably.
I ❤ Aldi (and Savers)! When I’m in MI, I get to shop at Aldi’s and when I’m in Utah, I get to shop at Savers. Would love to learn how to make fresh queso; you’re so right..the canned stuff has way too many preservatives. I get my veggies from Aldi’s when I’m in MI because the closest Trader Joe’s is 90 minutes away (vs. 30 min for Aldi). Thanks for taking us shopping with you!
I love your Aldi videos! I always learn so much from your channel. I wish the sound would have been louder when you were in the store. But i did enjoy this video very much. 😊much.
I used to shop at Aldi all the time in Germany, and we don't have Aldi here in Colorado 😕 love your videos Mary. Especially how you do the bargain shopping ☺and how you check the labels. If I can make something myself with healthy ingredients I go for it. Never made Queso before and would love to learn how to ☺I have learned instant coffee is great to make iced coffee.
I really enjoyed shopping with you at Aldi’s. Speaking of lentils, have you ever sprouted lentils before? They are so crisp and yummy and good for you.
I love shopping here..but have to weed out lots of items, especially those that contain any form of flour or wheat. Also sugar too. It is doable, but makes one aware of how many foods on the store shelves are purely over processed junk.
Hello Mary! I am a new subscriber, about a week or two, and have already learned so much. What I appreciate the most is that your content addresses the normal everyday person with possibly a limited budget. You are blessing to all of us. Had computers existed when I was a young woman, I'd probably know how to cook by now. Fortunately, I have a husband that doesn't care about food! Imagine that. Keep up the great work.
Yes please! Would love a video on how you finde spaces for pantry items ❤️ We live in 250sqft, I stuff pantry items everywhere, would love the organization tips and how to keep everything together 🤗
Love this video. I didn’t get to see it all due to length (I had to keep jumping up…lol). I can take care of that though by putting you on all the TVs in the house as soon as it ends on this one 😊 I will educate the whole family here 😀

Hi Mary please have a check up with your doctor about the wrinkles on your forhead. This could be a sign of heart issues. Please look this up. take care.
I completely agree with you about the coffee! They have a wonderful German coffee that my husband just absolutely loves and so I get that for him and I get the espresso in the yellow package and we mix them together and it is such a good blend. You were saying about the shredded cheddar cheese. I get a big block of cheddar cheese from Sam’s club and when I want it, should I just put it through my processor it just is such a wonderful job. Sometimes I may add a little rice flour to it, because if I’m making macaroni and cheese for my kids, then it helps to second and the rice flour really doesn’t give it any different taste.
I would really love to see how do you store everything because I’m running out of room and I didn’t even start to harvest anything from the garden this year yet I am very interested in you making a video about that. Also, I have to do most things in pint jars because I have two instant pots That I use for pressure painting because I have a glass top stove. I can water bath pan, my jellies and jams. Like for instance, I just made tomato jam yesterday I made a jars of that and three jars of onion relish for the hamburgers and hotdogs and things. I did my own bone broth. All of that I do everything from scratch. however, I was using Monk fruit as a sweetener, but it has that xylitol in it. They’re saying now that is bad for you and could cause cancer. Since I am of breast cancer, that worries me so I hated to do it, but I went back to using Stevia and a little bit of sugar just so it doesn’t have that funny Stevia taste. If you need suggestions for sweeteners other, then I’ve used agave nectar honey which I get from a local woman. She has huge hives. Coconut sugar is just too expensive for me to buy and some of these things are too expensive for me to buy. I think it’s sad that, we have to resort to using sugar for things because it’s the cheapest. So if you have any suggestions, I would love to hear it. I’m sorry for the slow reply. I just want to do the best for my family ends growing everything that were eating on a daily basis is my best bet. We are all organic.
@@jansmith3158 I also have deep wrinkles so I’m glad you said that. Summer minor cost Cuz. I deal with a lot of pain every day but I will talk to my doctor. I’m going in a week. Thank you very much.
Just wanted to tell you how much I appreciate you and sharing your knowledge. I was a canner before and hasn’t gotten back into it and you have so many great ideas!! I have to go find your recipe for sauerkraut. Are used to help my friend’s mother make it every year but it’s been a long time. I have to go find your video now.
Yes! Please show us homemade queso recipes!
I’ll share it soon!
What is queso, please? Not familiar with it here in Ireland....😊
@@MarysNest Yay! I'm looking forward to seeing this recipe. My husband enjoys 'Tex-Mex' flavors but being from the Northeast U.S. I didn't grow up making those foods so I'm still learning!
@@iot577 a cheese spicy dip! It's yummy and you can make it less spicy too.
@@MarysNestthat will be great! Thank you so much! ❤
Dear friends, I am a family of one. I blanch and freeze the zucchini and spinach. It cuts down on waste and saves money. The same can be done by peeling and blanching the sweet potatoes as patty slices or mashing them and placing them in ice cube trays.
Great tip!
Hahaha Hello Mary, I am in Australia and watching this video, I was a little disappointed to see you filming while you were driving, only for a few seconds until I remembered that you drive on the other side of the car.... Love your videos. Thank you
So happy I found you Mary!!!!!
Definitely subscribing!!!! 🎉
You have helped me soooo much’
Blessings to you “Sweet Lady”!!!!!
Yes, Mary is the best.
Mary is a salt-of-the-earth kind of person. She’s the consummate professional!! 💔🙏🏼💔
We do 95% of our grocery shopping at Aldi's. I've learned so much on this video, things to look at that we might not consider. Thank you.
I converted my coat closet (maybe its a utility closet since in the hallway) into an "survival pantry". I got shelving at goodwill, and let me tell you, it is packed to the top. The conversion is only a hassle for a little while, then you don't miss it.
Love this!!
This is SO true! We don't have closets outside the two bedrooms so I "converted" an old steamer truck that held quilts and knitted blankets into my prepper storage! Now the beautiful blankets are on display in living areas waiting to get cozy and I have an entire pantry in this old steamer trunk 😂
@@MarysNestme too! Brilliant!
Well done! Probably not easy to find a place for coats but likely easier than finding space for food. I did the same with the landing going down to the basement at the beginning of last year. The top half of the wall already had an indented section with shelves, so I relocated everything out of there, cleaned and painted it nice, even stenciled the stairs to make it pretty, and hung up some small additional shelves for my tinctures. The shelves have hooks so I got canvas bags at the thrift shop to hang on them and store light weight foods, and also got some buckets for additional storage. Mine is packed also and I need to do some rearranging, along with eating some of the food that expired this year. I'm not used to having a pantry and it does take some time and attention to maintain it.
@@TheAnimalsMagicShop I need to do some maintainance but i know unloading and reorganizing will be a more than one day job. Its got to be done.
Hi Mary, I am from Germany and it's so funny to see the brands in your aldi. I know aldi since my childhood and I buy there every month. Your Tips for storing are great. I have so much learned from you. Thanks a lot. Some weeks ago the book from Sally Fallon morello about traditional nutrition's came here in Germany out. And I love it. Since 20 years we make our Sauerkraut at home and it's much better than the canned ones. In the next week I want to start with your sourdoh recipe. Please excuse my terrible English writing. 😂. Thank you for all of your nice videos. You are so sweet and kind. ❤
Thank you so much for your comment…and your English is great!! Love, Mary ❤️🤗
I grew up watching my mom reading labels at the supermarket back in the 60's and she drove my dad nuts because she took so long, so he'd eventually go wait in the car. But back then even processed food didn't contain as many lab made chemicals as they do now. Thank you for going over everything, the recipe suggestions, , and to Ted for filming the details without making me dizzy. You make a great team and are the most helpful channel for everything to do with the kitchen. Looking forward to seeing you hit a million subs in the future and getting your new cookbook in August 😊
What a caring mom. ❤
Oh my goodness! Thank you SO much! Love, Mary ❤️🤗❤️
100% She must love her Fans.....and she has many.....been watching her for several yrs.....and always look forward to the next one...
Love to see the queso recipe! Thanks, Mary!❤
I can't wait foA it.
Hi Mary, yes I would really like you to make a prepper pantry for our temporary pantry, or whichever one you said you can show us how to make, thank you!
Will do!
I’ve always grabbed the organic jam…..but never thought to check the sugar content! So, thank you for showing that comparison! I do love Aldi.
I love your grocery hauls because you teach as you shop, then when you are home you give suggestions for what/how to prepare the food.
I feel like I received a gold star. I buy the healthier choice, just like Mary. I wish the Aldi in my area had more of the pagasa brand noodles available.
Yes, please do a video on how to find space on storage space. I REALLY need that help. Thanks Mary!
Don't forget the personal care Lacura foaming cleanser, Q10 cream, and 100 spf sunscreen is an amazing deal.
Wow! Great tip!
My husband likes the Q10 cream, but when we are shopping he'll say loudly "Don't you need some more face cream?" so no one thinks he's the one buying it. Lol!
Hi Mary, I enjoyed Mary and Ted on the go. Many folks may not have heard that Aldi and Trader Joes are now owned by the same parent group, as I recall. We are in the Carolinas and have Aldi, but we miss when one of our kids lived in Houston=HEB!
Yes, I would love to know how you make your queso! Thank you Mary!
Mary is that friend everyone needs in their life. ❤
We have Savers and I love to shop there!!! I recently went to my first Aldi's ever when on a trip. I wish I could have brought stuff home with me, but I flew.
Although I agree with the healthier option of non-quick versions of grains/pasta/etc, they would come in handy in a grid down scenario since we wouldn’t have to use as much energy to prepare. 😊
I would love to see a queso recipe. We LOVE queso in our house. Thank you for taking us shopping with you today. Lots of great tips & ideas! ❤
Yes, please, to sharing your queso recipe. I so love queso!
Me too! Will do!
Thank you Mary. For the first time today grocery shopping I was scared. Prices are quadrupling. Good part of my shopping was done at my local ALDIs! God bless you for what you do for us. ❤
Hi Mary! Will the Depression Era foods be in your cookbook? 💜
Thank you for taking us along and explaining how you'll use the grocery items.
Great question !!
Definitely would love a queso recipe homemade!
Will do!
Super video. You are so amazing at teaching the best practices/choices and not coming across as preaching or condemning those who at various points on their journey. So encouraging all the time. I smiled thru the entire video. (ok, I skipped the meats as I am vegetarian lol) Thank you so much for all you do.
And yes to the Queso recipe. (The filming etc was also excellent)
Mary, dear, I would love ideas on finding space when you don't have space for extended pantries! Thank you for showing good deals and good decision making when reviewing those labels! Even though I'm a devout Christian, I'm still really struggling with high anxiety every time I shop and see the prices go up for less product! It's freaking me out! I love learning what can be made ourselves for a better quality, quantity, and price! God bless you, Mary!
Thank you for another great video Mary! We went to Aldi last weekend and spent $250 😮but it was a ton of food including some more expensive items like bacon, fresh salmon and nuts. I have really learned to read the labels from you! Thank you! We love the Moser Roth chocolate too - the orange is my favorite. Another thing we stock up on is the extra fine frozen green beans - I can't find those at our regular grocery store. I buy the coconut oil you showed - I'll have to do a price comparison and see if I can get a better deal. The price of that has really increased in the last year or so ☹One good thing though - I've been removing the labels and reusing the jars. They are a nice size and the plastic mason jars lids from walmart fit them! I would love to see a queso video!
I just found out this year that the bagged lentils that you make soup from... can be put in water and sprouted and eaten as sprouts or the sprouts put in the soil and grown as plants. My chickens ate them right up as they ate every blade/leaf of green out of my yard. Anyway, I was very surprised they are seeds and not just to be used for soup.
It just depends on how the lentils have been prepared ... if it's the whole seed it would usually sprout into " sprouts " which can be eaten or planted . It the seeds have been husked and split ( referred to as " dal " in Indian stores and used for making a fairly thick soupy dish , often to be eaten with rice ) those would not grow ! When in doubt you could look for the" eye "which would show up on a whole seed ! Hope that helps !
@@maureensamson4863 I had a bag of just regular split or halved lentils, that are used to make soup, in my cabinet for a LONG time. I wanted to see if I could sprout them. I put them in a jar of water for 24 hours...then drained them and let them sit. Twice a day I rinsed and drained them. After just a few days little sprouts popped out and they got bigger and bigger as the days went by. Finally I took them out and spread them on some soil in a nursery flat I have, and covered them with more soil and kept them moist and they grew and grew. I put the flat out for the chickens and they devoured them. I was shocked, as they didn't look like seeds...more like brownish split peas...no eyes.
@@CharliesMom1956 How amazing !
I shop Aldi weekly. We love the organic ketchup, mustard, block cheeses, some organic veg and fruit during non-growing seasons. Then I shop farm stands. My husband LOVES the organic coffee beans. I can tomatoes and this year I'll can some marinara, but the organic tomato basil sauce is great to have on hand for when I'm working. Last thing I want to do is get home at 6:30/7:00 and start a cooking project. My husband will make pasta and heat up the sauce for a quick dinner for us. I've purchased Raos at Costco much cheaper so that's the only time I buy it.
Thanks for taking the time to go through Aldi and share the best buys and what to avoid. Nice to see I've honed my skills watching your videos. Thanks for the education.
Here in Utah, I long for my Midwest Aldi. I went there first when shopping. I built up my prepper pantry through Aldi. Even though I can't shop there now, I picked up tips today when you shopped. I watched while making ricotta; cooking barley ahead, and having sardines for lunch as you taught. Thanks for your influence on my family!
Some great options to consider, Mary. We shop at ALDI's a couple times a month and love how affordable there selections are. Have a wonderful weekend.
Thanks Mary for this video! My daughter pre-ordered your cookbook for me for mother's day. I can't wait to get it!!! Love the calmness in your videos during this chaotic time❤
Thank you SO much! Love, Mary
Yes please, show us where to store it all! Great show!
ALDIs have some of the best chocolate you can buy! And yes please…queso video!
Love our Aldi for some of their organic items at very reasonable prices. And the 'plain' artichoke hearts - I DO stock up (watching the expiration dates) - they are so good tossed with pasta either hot or cold as a salad 🙂
Mary I just LOVE your jus outlook. I am somewhat new to your channel, but am learning and picking up so very much. Thank you for you all your advice. 🤗💕
Welcome! So happy you are joining me on this traditional foods journey! And thank you for the kind words! Love, Mary ❤️🤗❤️
Mary,the Rao tomato sauces are supposed to be lower in carbs hence the keto choice for tomato sauces.
One can also cook Arborio rice in tomato sauce and make Risotto and serve with Parmesan ❤
Another excellent, informative upload, thank you, Mary. Breakfast in La Madeleine looks delicious 🤗
I say YES to everything you have offered, Mary. The ‘little nuggets’ of info you have shared is wonderful. Learn so much from you - you uncomplicate what I have a tendency to complicate. Thank you, Mary!
When I stored food long term I used a blanket or cedar chest to stack a year of food and used it as a coffee table along with my working pantry
I hit our closest Aldi a couple of weeks ago too. We got a lot of the same items 🤣
Ours did have the whole chickens so I got one and cooked it in our Sun Oven and it turned out great. Since we are in the high 90's & 100's here in Texas, cooking in the Sun Oven saves having to use our oven. Saves a bundle on electricity!
That is awesome!
You made me really miss not living in Texas. So glad to see they still have La Madilaines. Can you show how to make a copy cat of their multi grain rye bread, their escolloped ham casserole and their cream of multi mushroom soup. Also really miss that buffet style restaurant called Lubby's.
Hello Mary, thank you for a great video. I love to watch your videos. You are always sharing such a great tips. You are lovely person. Thank you and have a great day.
Oh my goodness! One of a few things I miss from Texas. La Madeleine is one! Yum yum! Enjoy! 👍☺
Be careful with the unsalted butters. The various brands are now adding natural flavor or flavorings to the butter as a substitute for the salt.
I like the freeze dried coffee because it seems to be less acidic. Regular coffee began giving me indigestion far to often.
Great tip!
There's a CZcams person called Cowboy Kent Collins that has a way to make "cowboy coffee". I had to give up coffee because of the heart burn. I make coffee his way now without a problem so maybe check him out.
I agree…it’s much milder.
Please share the video on space making for long term pantry
Will do!
Hi Mary, I'm new to your channel and I must take a moment to tell you how much I enjoy your channel. You always have a wealth of knowledgeable information that is very much appreciated and enjoyed. Thank you for having such a refreshing channel to enjoy.
Just wanted to tell you that I’ve watched your show for a while now and I really enjoy all the information! Thank you Mary! ❤
Hi Mary! I put the cart before the horse when it came to building my extended pantry. I would love some ideas about how to organize these stacks of boxes and buckets. I think I've decided that buckets are a pain in the bucket. My kitchen has always been big enough until I discovered bulk buying and now I have a mess. Don't get me wrong though- I'm happy to have this mess! I got tickled when you said your mother would mention a package of food wasn't even a pound and then you also noted that a few times. That bugs me too, 12 ounces... What happened to 16 ounces, especially with bacon! Thanks for taking us shopping and for all of the tidbits you throw in along the way ❤
Hi Mary👋! just wanted to share this with you, I think you’ll be quite tickled!! I was in my local Aldi, and I saw the maple syrup that you pointed out in the video, only this was organic maple syrup, grade B, aged in bourbon barrels. They had just got the shipment in that morning. Well some store employee had mistakenly priced them for $1.49 each!! At first I didn’t believe it, but after reading the price labels closely, I saw that really was the price! Well the good Lord gave me the thought to stock up, so I got more than a few😊(however I did leave plenty, as my mother taught me to always leave enough for the next bargain hunter). Well when I got to the checkout, the cashier said that couldn’t be the price because they only got them in that morning and they wasn’t supposed to be on sale, she called the manager, and the manager looked at the ticket and told her it was true!!! When I went for my weekly shopping yesterday, I saw that the price for them is now labeled $5.99 each!! Apparently management had swiftly corrected that mistake! However, thank you Jesus, I now have enough pure organic grade B, maple syrup, to keep my extended pantry happy for quite some time!!
Love from the mountains!!👋❤
My sister recently taught me about zucchini flour. Peel, slice, dehydrate and send through the food processor. Another way to stretch foods and preserve the over growth of zucchini we all find in the summer months.
Mary.....Thank You for showing a bunch of Aldi's Organics for people to see. Which reinforces what I keep saying.......that it IS affordable to EAT ORGANIC!! That it IS easy to stop buying the poison pesticide crap and EAT CLEAN.
Yes.....Aldi's Organic Coconut Oil IS expensive; instead, get it at walmart.....MUCH more reasonable! You didn't show the Simply Nature canned Org beans. For a 'few cents' more, get Organic beans.....since beans (canned & dry) have some of the highest amounts of pesticides on them. And you should have shown Simply Nature's Organic butter (1 lb); even though it is salted, I will still buy it to make my Ghee. Simply Nature Org Ground Beef........get the 3 pack/FOUR pound when it's $17.96.....which works out to $4.49 per pound.
Between Aldi's and Walmart (for those who do not have a membership to Costco/BJ's/Sam's).....you CAN ditch the TOXIC CRAP and move to EAT ORGANIC, and come no where near 'breaking the bank'! NO EXCUSES!!
I do the majority of my shopping at Aldi's, Walmart, BJ's and Costco (98% Organic foods), and shop my two grocery stores for the SALE items (IF they can beat the $ of Aldi's/Walmart/BJ's/Costco)!! And I do this on a monthly budget of $280!! So, again, NO EXCUSES!! (STOP POISONING YOURSELVES......AND YOUR KIDS!!)
I love shopping at our local Aldi! My mom made tuna patties a lot. She also made creamed tuna for over toast or crackers (her favorite way) instead of using the more expensive salmon. She also made what she called zucchini stew (no measuring just a huge soup pot lol) Fresh zucchini and or summer squash, mushrooms, onions, bell peppers, tomatoes (fresh or canned), salt, pepper, garlic, and oregano and Italian sausage. She sliced the squash, and chunked all of the other ingredients, put the cut up sausage in the pot raw and set it on the back of the stove to cook until the sausage was done. Then she added parmesan cheese. She served it with a side salad and homemade garlic bread. I still make it because it's healthy and delicious. It's always a summer staple around here when the garden is producing.
Hi Mary Ken here. I first subscribed and became a patron after your first Aldi video. I went today and got the simply nature applesauce, ghee (had a lot at my aldi), crackers, refried beans, some sea salt chocolate and mustard. They were out of the little cans of chili peppers. Surprising. I usually buy a bunch. K see ya around the ferment counter.
Welcome aboard!❤️🤗❤️
Much love Mary from VA. Thanks for the videos and a shoutout to Ted for helping you make your content! I make homemade wine with the Aldi pomegranate and plum juice for my parents and they love it! Highly recommended! Anyone can do it.
My family & I love the Jasmine rice with coconut milk & stir in some spinach. Love it❤
Yum
Yes on queso and on storage!
Had a great time at okie homestead. Didn't get a chance to say hi you were busy and I figured the people there needed your knowledge more than I since I have been doing this for 30+ years. I do still learn new things every day from people like you that are willing to share.
I made a stop at Aldi's today before seeing this video. Ghee is up to $6.99 but still less than the big grocery stores. Buy Goya products.
Mary, you are just an awesome person... Very knowledgeable and honorable intentions
Thanks for your guidance, just finished shopping there for my long term food storage. Going to try making split pea soup for the first time!
I would really like your queso recipe!! Love your videos. Thank you.
I’ll share one soon!
A definite YES on posting a homemade quest recipe that doesn't use Velveeta!
Could you please tell us how to make non dairy yogurt. I have RA. My rheumatologist wants me to cut out dairy and gluten to reduce inflammation. I LOVE yogurt!! I purchased a coconut yogurt but I can't seem to make it correctly. Thank you for your help. I have learned SO MUCH from you!!
I would also love a video on not so commonly used vegetables,(at least not used in my home while growing up), like asparagus, artichoke, etc. ❤❤❤
Siete has queso that I sometime buy, it’s made with clean ingredients.
Hi Mary, I'd love to see your queso recipe! I agree 100% about hving the freeze dried coffee, if we lose power can still easily even have an iced coffee with this convenient coffee that honestly for the price is amazing!
it's all about time, and if there's little time to prepare meals, people will pay more for the prepacked foods which will get them on their way to work. My 27 year old adult child (married with a grandbaby on the way) drives 70 miles to work, one way. Some days they are at work until 10pm! They don't have hardly any extra time to fix lunch, let alone even stop at Aldi's (which we love). I do have them started with a small salsa garden and they love it. But for many people, it's too time consuming to do the retiree thing of leisurely shopping, cooking, and thoughtful meal planning. Take-out is "cheaper" when you consider time. Time is money. Hopefully with arrival of new baby they will take stock of their lives and decide to prioritize on slow family meals, and pleasant conversation. Thanks for your channel.
I understand completely. ❤️🤗❤️
Can you make cd files of your different categories of how to videos we can buy just incase CZcams changes their platform?
Mary, thank you for being so informative!!!❤❤
I've been saving the plastic pasta sauce jars from ALDI to use with freezer jam. I don't like using glass jars in the freezer, as sometimes things tumble.
Was tossing one recently and wondered how I could repurpose, and freezer jam came to mind.
I normally don't save plastic jars but this one seemed like a good idea.
It does feel a little weird as I've been purposely trying to use less glass.
Yes I would love a homemade queso recipe
Will share it soon!
Yes yes, please make a video on how to make, and maybe can your own queso cheese dip! I love it, but do not love all those extra ingredients!❤❤❤❤
Hi Mary, I'm a coffee snob too😂
I have been snagging up the organic Honduras beans! They're on sale for $5.95😮.
I do buy ground coffee, but they can add soybeans sticks, etc and you'll never know!
It's hard to buy higher priced things like you do everyone has to watch every penny these days and if you're on a fixed income 😞 you have to get what you can. Thank you for sharing 😊
Very true!
Wow! I am from Canada and even with the exchange rate food is waaaayyyy cheaper where you are. I am frugal and prefer whole foods, but no way to leave a store with a (not-neccessarily-full) bag less than $50 CAN.
Love that you are sharing with folks how to shop healthier and more affordably.
being diabetic, the tomato sauce and the diced tomatoes are very reasonable!
I would love for to show me your storage for the different types of pantrys.
I ❤ Aldi (and Savers)! When I’m in MI, I get to shop at Aldi’s and when I’m in Utah, I get to shop at Savers. Would love to learn how to make fresh queso; you’re so right..the canned stuff has way too many preservatives. I get my veggies from Aldi’s when I’m in MI because the closest Trader Joe’s is 90 minutes away (vs. 30 min for Aldi). Thanks for taking us shopping with you!
Hi, Mary. Please do a video on homemade queso. ❤
Will do!
@@MarysNest ❤️❤️❤️
I love your Aldi videos! I always learn so much from your channel. I wish the sound would have been louder when you were in the store. But i did enjoy this video very much. 😊much.
Yes would love to see your extended pantry storage ideas. Thank you.
I love Aldi’s. I really love the organic catch-up it’s my favorite God bless you and your family. 🙋🏻♀️♥️🇺🇸
Our ALDIs have been out of our favorite chocolate lately. Lidl has good chocolate, too, with comparable prices. (We live in the east coast.)
I used to shop at Aldi all the time in Germany, and we don't have Aldi here in Colorado 😕 love your videos Mary. Especially how you do the bargain shopping ☺and how you check the labels. If I can make something myself with healthy ingredients I go for it. Never made Queso before and would love to learn how to ☺I have learned instant coffee is great to make iced coffee.
Thank YOU for being here!! Love, Mary ❤️🤗❤️
Love your videos Mary! Just pre-ordered your cookbook!
Yes! Need storage suggestions, please!
It was fun to watch this video about your day in our area! I really got hungry when I saw that delicious plate at the Le Madeleine.
I really enjoyed shopping with you at Aldi’s. Speaking of lentils, have you ever sprouted lentils before? They are so crisp and yummy and good for you.
You'd need the whole seeds for them to turn into sprouts !
@@maureensamson4863 I’ve had success with the brown lentils from Palouse Brands. They are yummy!
Yes I also love to see how to make space for prepping
Yes! Any coffee would be better than none in bad times.
Mary, at my ALDI'S in California, Maryland has the German style Sauerkraut @$1.29 a jar.
I love shopping here..but have to weed out lots of items, especially those that contain any form of flour or wheat. Also sugar too. It is doable, but makes one aware of how many foods on the store shelves are purely over processed junk.
More Aldi Hauls!many of us don't have need or room for a Costco haùl. I àm organic primarily. Aldi is great! Nothing is perfect!! Love Aldis!!
Hello Mary! I am a new subscriber, about a week or two, and have already learned so much. What I appreciate the most is that your content addresses the normal everyday person with possibly a limited budget. You are blessing to all of us. Had computers existed when I was a young woman, I'd probably know how to cook by now. Fortunately, I have a husband that doesn't care about food! Imagine that. Keep up the great work.
Love you girl. Glued to all you say.
You are so sweet! Love you too! ❤️🤗❤️
I would love to see your recipe for queso.
Yes please! Would love a video on how you finde spaces for pantry items ❤️
We live in 250sqft, I stuff pantry items everywhere, would love the organization tips and how to keep everything together 🤗
Love this video. I didn’t get to see it all due to length (I had to keep jumping up…lol). I can take care of that though by putting you on all the TVs in the house as soon as it ends on this one 😊 I will educate the whole family here 😀
I would love to see a video on home made queso! My family loves queso and I never thought to make it at home!!
Very nice and unique Aldi video. Aldis has steel cut oats in the winter in addition the oats and peanut butter will go on sale during winter.
