Best products from r/aldi

It's "just OK". Aldi occasionally has boxed kits - the tikka is passable, but the vindaloo is surprisingly good. Like, really good. I always buy 5-6 boxes when they have it.

Aldi sometimes has jarred Indian sauces with a dry spice packet on top, like this. The Madras is very, very good, as are the Rogan Josh and Dopiaza (those last two are for red meat, though). Again, the Tikka sauce is passable. Just an FYI, if there's a Lidl near you, they carry these sauces all the time.

But the best Indian sauce\spice packet I've ever had is Indian Essentials Butter Chicken (note the Amazon price is for a box of 12 packets). The packets are nothing but spices (I don't even think there's salt in them) and it's super easy to make: cut up chicken and onions, brown them in a pot, add the packet, cook for a couple minutes until fragrant, add a 16 ounce can tomato sauce and reduce heat. Put some rice on; when there's a few minutes left on the rice, add a ½ cup cream to the curry and stir well.

I just used one of these today with Acer branding but it looks exactly the same. It seemed like an ok setup but I don't have too much to compare it too. The upside/downside is that does not have the extra motion tracking that Oculus has. Less hardware to setup but it is not as accurate. Also, FYI the controllers run on AA so invest in some rechargeable batteries or Duracel stock.

Get the one I linked instead it's only $178 on Amazon right now, it's the same thing, just different branding. It may not be as good as Oculus but it's also a fraction of the price. Just make sure you PC hardware is VR capable first.

I go through them so quickly, and buy either lemons or limes, whatever is the better deal. I use a manual citrus juicer and make fresh lemonade or limeade once or twice a day. I use the juice from 1-2 limes or 1 lemon, add 3 packets of zero-calorie stevia, and about 20-24 oz of cold water. It's delicious, healthy, and takes only a few minutes to make and clean up. So, this will last me 4 days max!

Aldi's is this one, which looks identical to this Kobot, which seems to be a RV-351. Most other places seem to be selling it for $150, and you can find a few reviews online (Home Depot, Best Buy).

As a bit of a robot vacuum enthusiast(I know), I don't like the fact that it doesn't have front distance sensors, just a bumper. The ones with distance sensors (you can tell because they have a translucent black strip at the front) will slow down to a crawl before they hit walls or furniture. The ones with just a bumper will just go their normal speed until they bump into something.

That also means the travel speed of them has to be kept lower. One with distance distance sensors may travel at say 1 yard per second when everything is clear and slow down to 0.2 yards per second before it hits an obstacle, while one with just a bumper would always do 0.5 yards per second. So they cover less area and are a bit harder on the furniture, though the Kobot one has a rubber strip on the bumper, so it shouldn't leave marks.

If you can swing it, I would look at the iLife A4s instead. They go for about $150-160 on Chinese sites like gearbest or $200 on amazon, and they're really impressive for the money. Quiet, very good build quality and they don't get stuck easily.

Sigh. Making progress but still not what we need. Rolling tuba cases are $665 on Amazon. I was hoping Aldi could undercut that by 20 bucks or so. Meanwhile I'm refreshing Prime Day every 5 minutes hoping it's included:

Aldi doesn't sell this, but this is the common one used by popcorn vendors. If you buy the whole quart, it's really pretty cheap and will last for years. Gold Medal Prod. 2045 Flavacol Seasoning Popcorn Salt 35oz. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004W8LT10/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_A4qXBb542Z581

Thanks! This was done with a super small and cheap electric Masterbuilt smoker Here it is!

Was using the olive oil in the can until I bought this on Amazon

Olive Oil Sprayer

Beginners tips, I got very angry with this as it wasn't working as I had hoped, turned out I under filled the bottle and the straw was dead center of the bottle so no oil could get through. I packaged it up ready to return it then read more reviews. So I gave it another try and curved the straw so it would be off to the side, worked perfect. I do notice sometimes instead of a spray it gets a stream but it goes back and forth just get a feel for it but I love it!!

It looks like Target only has the Dark Mint Tim Tams.

I saw another post on the Aldi brand version and decided to try the Arnotts. I found the Original, White Chocolate, Dark, and Chewy Caramel on Amazon and they were all good, but I really liked the White Chocolate. They are pricey though. Maybe Aldi will get White Chocolate "Delights".

Ohhh, nice. Right now I get a 4 pack of a generic version on Amazon, $18.99 for a 4 pack, $4.75 each. Subscribe & Save brings it down to about $4.51 each.

I have always made my own sauce, spending hours watching a simmering pot, using good tomatoes, etc.

But then I discovered Rao's. It's too expensive, you can't justify it, but it's great, particularly Rao's Arrabbiata. The Marinara is good, too, if you don't like a little kick to your sauce. I literally lick the spoon, scrape every drop out of the jar and lick the lid. I bought one of those silicone scrapers to get every last drop out of the jar.

Sometimes you can find Rao's on sale for $5.99 or $6.99

I’m stoked on it too!

I have a Keurig and I also have the Crofton cold brew pitcher! while I did buy this particular bag for cold brew, I have these in case I ever find ground coffee that I’d like hot from my Keurig. hope this helps!

I've seen it at Aldi for 20 bucks a few times. It let's you play simultaneous notes!! A kids piano toy that lets you play chords is unheard of to me.

Is it like these peppermint puffs? They melt in your mouth like that. https://www.amazon.com/Red-Bird-Southern-Refresh-Peppermint/dp/B0012ZX18A

They are a little too crunchy. I served them at Thanksgiving and that's the consensus of my family. They're a little bit too much cracker and not enough cheese.

The Japanese have come out with a cheese cracker called 53% and if it ever comes here it will take the world by storm. They're amazing.

I brought the one they have on sale for $20 this week. I've been using it and I like it. Works better then the [Oral B Cross Action] (https://www.amazon.com/Oral-B-CrossAction-Battery-Powered-Toothbrush-Replacement/dp/B002P5PRU6/ref=sr_1_10_s_it?s=beauty&ie=UTF8&qid=1484492580&sr=1-10&keywords=oral+b+cross+action) I've been using. It has 3 settings, which is nice. The brush heads aren't too soft or too hard. Can't say how long it'll last but as of right now, I don't feel like I wasted my money.

They make a nice salt mill, too. Nylon gears that never rust.
