10 Things You SHOULD Be Buying at Aldi in May 2024

- These are the top 10 things you should be buying at Aldi. this May 2024. And this month has some new and unexpected finds that you are going to love. We begin with an incredibly popular kitchen gadget. This self-dispensing drink organizer at $10 holds up to 12 cans or bottles and allows for easy access to your favorite beverages inside a fridge. This chair with stowable ottoman at 50 bucks marks the first time I've ever seen such a product at Aldi. The included pillows have a removable cover that's machine washable, and for this price, it looks incredible in person. And if you need some outdoor lighting that's more discreet than a typical stake light, this solar rock spotlight at $10 could sit unobtrusively beside a plant, or be used for landscape lighting. The rock looks very realistic, and even offers a hideaway key slot in the event you get locked out or have an emergency. Point two starts with a top seasonal find. Grill and bake mats, at 4.49, made with an FDA-approved food-safe material to help prevent smaller proteins or veggies from falling through the grates on your grill. I love that they're reusable, and they come in two different color options. While you're grilling, these large cushion grill mats at $10 are made in the USA and are a wonderful way to protect the area around your barbecue. And once your food is cooked, for those who dine outside, all these super popular bug repellent fans are now back in stock for seven bucks. These help deter flies and bees and they're now available in a new, sleek, silver-looking option, that has a slightly stainless steel aesthetic. While we're on the topic of food, there are some fun new egg accessories at Aldi this month. Like a very literal egg-shaped egg slicer at 2.49. An egg ring at the same price for those perfectly shaped breakfast-ready eggs, and this slightly cross-looking egg boiler at 2.49. This is a microwave-based gadget that helps you to supposedly produce perfect eggs with every use. Point three starts off with one of my favorite all-time desserts, a key lime pie at $6, for a 2.5-pound box. While this precise key lime pie is not the absolute best one I've ever sampled, it was definitely very good for the price. My mochi related prayers have been answered with this new selection of mochi in either a delectable cookies and cream flavor or a new strawberry option. While the strawberry flavor is more typical, I was delighted that it had a non-synthetic, very refreshing, real fruit taste. German luxury cakes at $9 have returned from last year, with cherry chocolate chip, marzipan mousse, and a triple chocolate option. These vanilla ice cream sandwiches in a four pack for $5 have a beautiful blend of soft ice cream and somewhat dainty wafers with just the perfect chewy texture. Just when I thought my life could not get any better, in terms of desserts, that is, these dipped cookie sandwiches at 3.49 spoke to my soul from behind the freezer glass. They are majestic with real hazelnut pieces, amongst the wafer crumbs, cocoa cookies, and ice cream. I love that you get six for that 3.49 price. I've never before seen the Outshine popsicle brand at Aldi, and this 12 pack at 5.35 with no sugar added is made with real fruit and a personal favorite for my family. Finally, this creme cake sampler at six bucks is brand new, with chocolate, lemon, vanilla, and cinnamon flavored slices. I tried the lemon and enjoyed it immensely. By the way, if you are enjoying this video, feel free to give it a thumbs up as that really helps my channel. In the number four spot, we start with a high-quality, perfect for hosting Acacia centerpiece bowl at $20. This has a beautiful handcrafted appearance, and would make for a gorgeous fruit bowl. These mini Awesome pans at $17 live up to their name, and they're a dupe of the Always pan from the Our Place brand. The official version costs almost 100 bucks, so you score a nearly identical aesthetic in some great color options at a fraction of the price. These vibrant, fun summer kitchen towel sets with sentiments like "Guac my world" and "Hello summer," are now available at my local store for $5. For summer lemonade, iced tea, or even sangria. This 2.6 gallon beverage dispenser at nine bucks is made of plastic, which I appreciate if you just need something for a patio that's not breakable, it's also lightweight enough for transportation to a park. Speaking of beverages, a four pack of plastic margarita glasses come in these fun, vibrant colors, and they have a 10 ounce capacity. There's also a plain, transparent option, and they are dishwasher safe. And as a final adult beverage pairing, these wine dispensing totes at $13 were a fan favorite when they debuted last year. This is built to insulate and hold the contents of a full wine bottle, and even has a handy built-in spout for easy pouring. In the number five spot, if summer has finally arrived in your neck of the woods, these tower fans at 20 bucks have an automatic shutoff, and they rotate 85 degrees. As an alternative, this pedestal fan encased in metal at 40 bucks does have a sleek industrial vibe, although I would still probably opt for the slightly cheaper plastic offerings available from Walmart. If you need something that's USB rechargeable, I love these compact 3.5-inch portable fans at $7 with multiple color options. This exfoliating scrub at 3.49 is one of the many new dupes available at Aldi this month. This is an ode to the original one from Clean & Clear that retails for double the price from Walmart. This body wash at 3.45, pays tribute to the, have you guessed it? The one from Dove. And based on the packaging, this brand is clearly not trying to conceal that. This Lacura or Lacura shampoo at 2.69 is a self-described Tresmme knockoff, provided the performance and ingredients are similar, it might be worth a look. A 25 pack of facial wipes at 1.49 is marketed as comparable to the name brand offering from Neutrogena. There's even a dupe of the Cascade dishwasher pods that are conveniently placed right next door to the actual Cascade brand. An 18-count pod pack of the dupe is 4.19, versus the 7.94 for 21 pods from Cascade. They even have a whole new range of medication dupes at various price points. Well I recommend doing your research, if you are on a tight budget, an alternative to a big name brand could prove worthwhile. For point six, we head straight to the food section and the spicy bacon cheeseburger pizza at $7, from the Mama Cozzi brand, combines many of my favorite food elements into one single pizza, so I am quite excited to try this. If you prefer something slightly more healthy, this chickpea crust pizza at $7 is a crust concept that I've never considered for pizza, but I am willing to give it a shot. If you have tried chickpea crust at Aldi or elsewhere, please let me know in the comments section. This 12 pack of bratwurst at $7 has lovely timing for the start of the summer grill season. This family favorite eight-pound bag of chicken breasts at $17 was a highly popular bulk buy from last year that did not last long. And speaking of large and in charge, this 2.3 pound chicken gyro kit box at 1249 includes enough to make at least five portions with the tzatziki sauce included. The extremely popular La Terra Fina quiches have finally appeared at Aldi for $10. These are available in either a Lorraine quiche option, or a cheddar and broccoli alternative. And finally, this new dip at 3.49 includes layers of cheese, salsa, pinto beans, and guac, all combined into the same container. My aunt makes a version of this which I adore. Point seven kicks off with some new kitchen tools, like this avocado masher at $3, which is a game changer if you frequently prepare guac. This new three-in-one avocado tool presents some additional versatility for the same price. This chip and dip tray at $7 has one of the most unique designs I've encountered. This would be ideal for when multiple people are fishing for chips at the same time. With many different styles, these DIY popsicle molds at $5 are even sold in a unicorn design that my 6-year-old daughter would love. If you've watched my recent Dollar Tree video, you may know these ice cube trays that Aldi is now selling for $5 have a Dollar Tree doppelganger, minus the lids, for just a buck 25. Reusable ice cubes at $5 are wonderful for chilling a drink without diluting its contents. We also use these for our kids when a soup is too hot without compromising their flavor. This apple slicer at $5 is adjustable, and can produce your choice of either eight or 16 apple slices. And if you are baking an apple pie or something else, this baking pan with lid at $8 provides an easier way to transport your completed masterpiece. And composed from a high-quality stainless steel, this pizza accessory set at $13 includes a pizza peel, a server, and a cutter, great for any home pizza chef. In the number eight spot, it's a big brand at a low price. This Conair curling iron at 13 bucks is designed for finer hair with a gentle heat that supposedly prevents against breakage. This lady's summer dress is at the same price as the curling iron. That is my only segue. For the smaller feet in your family, toddler trekking sandals at $10 have adjustable Velcro enclosures, and they're cushioned. To entertain your kids outdoors, ready-to-fill pinata sets at $8 are available with some eye-catching designs. These would be wonderful for a summer birthday party. For a backyard, or even watching an older sibling at a sporting event, these kids folding chairs at $15 are very cute, and they include a matching umbrella. This ride-along scooter at 50 bucks from the Step 2 brand is very competitively priced. And whether it's to help your kids or grandkids cool off, or for an outdoor pet bath, I love this 45-inch round pool at $9. For my next point, these decorative rain chains at $13 are unlike anything I've seen before. They're kind of like a wind chime that can transform a downpour into a decorative event. If you are searching for a wind spinner, at $15, I did appreciate the various designs with the ground stake included. As you might expect. These metal 15-inch plant stands at $7 felt surprisingly sturdy for the price. Alternatively, this three pack of stacking planters at 13 bucks are available in that classic terracotta color or a darker option. And it's excellent that you score three of these for that price. If you need something even larger, these 20-inch planters at 13 bucks have all sorts of texturized designs, which are highly appealing in my opinion. I stopped in my tracks for a moment to ogle these cube planters at $15. They look like stone, but are a fraction of what real stone would weigh, and they look phenomenal. Metal garden figurines at 10 bucks in the shape of what I believe is a blue jay, an owl, or a gnome, are priced significantly lower than what you'd find at a big box store. To feed some real birds, this hummingbird feeder at $10 looked rather premium for the price. While this novelty bird feeder in the shape of a picnic table at $10 could provide any flying visitors with a cafeteria in the sky. For my next point, before we get to the bonus section, this decorative glass table at $13 would work great for any backyard as a side table or plant stand. While I did love the other designs, I purchased this clear one, and the quality is excellent. As an ideal perch for any flower pots, these nesting flower steps at $25 is something my mom would go crazy for. This two-pack of solar torches at 25 bucks could be enjoyed as a path light, a table light, or a hanging light with a flickering effect, and a six-hour total runtime. If you'd prefer more of a permanent hanging or a tabletop solution, these solar decorative metal lanterns at $8, with this interesting pink or green color choice, happen to be water resistant, and the batteries are included. To complete our illumination theme, these motion-activated solar deck lights at $7 are a really solid price with how versatile these happen to be. They can be attached to a railing or the side of the deck, with a warm white light and an eight-hour runtime. This flexible 50-foot garden hose at $15 looks lovely, and it's apparently resistant to kinks. And speaking of the garden, this foldable tool bag at 13 bucks has nine pockets, and ample space to transport all of your gardening tools. And if you need the utensils for that carry bag, this garden hand tool set at $10 contains a trowel, a cultivator, and a weeder with two different highly giftable design options. Finally, if you have a balcony or a smaller space around your home that you want to greenify, this four foot by six foot faux grass rug at $25 look realistic and impressive in person. Our bonus section begins with a return of a viral Aldi find, a three-segment candle at 13 bucks, which shoppers went crazy for last year, is back in stock. Meanwhile, the succulent wax warmer at $13 is a very aesthetically pleasing alternative to a traditional candle. The super popular silicone clip-on strainers that were typically only available from higher end kitchen stores and Amazon have just arrived at Aldi for $5. I use these all the time. Straining water has never been so simple. And speaking of water, this one-gallon bottle at 1.19 now wins as cheapest in terms of beating out Walmart for their pricing, on this emergency prep staple. And finally, to wrap things up on a more relaxed note, this portable fitness massaging device at $30 includes a carry case, and might be a great way to provide yourself with some much-needed relaxation. Thank you so much for watching, I love you. Bye bye.
