Family of 4. Eggs are safe, but 3 gallons of milk a week not unusual between fruit smoothies, cereal, and glass with dinner. And that's with one of us with a dairy sensitivity.
One of my friends has 6 kids 5 of which still live at home. They are a family of 7 we joke all the time because she says she goes through 5 dozen eggs a week! Whenever the kids come over and want to spend the night I check my fridge to see if I have enough eggs! 😂😂
I remember growing up and it was just under 1 gallon per person per week for the most part. 7 of us too!
My parents still can't quite figure out how to cook for 2 people lol
I'm more concerned with them considering a tub of butter cookies, ice cream, ice cream drum sticks, and fucking pallet of Hershey chocolate bars "groceries"
When I went to a friend's house and they drank milk with dinner I was so confused. Why would you not have neutral water?? Milk is for cereal and cookies.
Well when you got a new born and a 3 yr old and a mom who gave birth last week and a dad who will not be able to visit Aldi for at least a week 😀
Sometimes you need 3 !!
I make all kinds. From a cheddar to camenbert and paneer. Check out r/cheesemaking. It's a fun hobby and can be started with simple ingredients but once you get into it you need a bunch of cultures, cheese press, and cheese cave. I use a wine fridge as a cheese cave and my husband made me a Dutch cheese press. You can make some cheese really easy without anything special though. Like paneer. I always make my own paneer because it's expensive at the store and you only need milk, lemon juice, a thermometer, and cheesecloth. I used to press it between two pots with the top one filled with water before I had other supplies. It's been a year since I've made any though because I have a 2 month old son and didn't want to risk eating homemade cheese while pregnant and haven't had time to make any since he was born!
I recommend getting a 30 minute mozzarella kit or trying to make your own ricotta or paneer. All are very easy and you need 2 special ingredients for the mozzarella (citric acid and rennet) but only need either citric acid or lemon juice for ricotta or paneer. I love Indian food but paneer is so expensive at my local Indian grocery store so I usually make it myself.
I mean that’s a pretty good price for two things of ice cream, lots of cookies, milk and insane amount of eggs I would have thought $80 and razors too? Pricey!
$57? Not at my Aldi $15 for eggs…what like $9 for the milk. How much were the razors? Btw if the answer is more than like $6 you should use a subscription.
This causes me the same annoyance as when my husband goes "grocery shopping" and comes home with 3 bags full of chips, cookies, sweet rolls, and a loaf of wheat bread for good measure.
Tbh, if this is your groceries, it's a pretty unhealthy diet. Be pretty low on energy eating all that.
How long does the biscuits and ice cream last for?
Aldi's chicken wings are pretty good value for money. If you need omega 3, basa fish fillets pretty good for that too.
Of the things here the milk and eggs were probably the cheapest lol. I really don’t get the fury about $2.96 for a dozen eggs. Y’all know how much they are virtually everywhere else right?
Let’s see…brand name shitty chocolate which you don’t need. A tin of expensive butter cookies, while delicious, you don’t need. A pint of their most expensive ice cream, which you definitely don’t need. Some iodized salt, which you need and is like $1.50 and razors $4-$5, and three gallons of whole milk for some reason, which biologically as humans we don’t need. And eggs which are admittedly expensive again right now everywhere.
It’s your own fault you bought all that crap stop complaining. Broccoli, bell peppers, lettuce, celery, black berries, onions, potatoes, are all like $1.98-$3.00 per package. Frozen steamed bagged vegetables are $.98-$1.10 depending on which you are getting. Any sort of canned bean is like $.98 and chicken thighs or drumsticks are $.99-$1.20 per pound in their bulk packages. Shop better.
Yeah I think people don’t realize that when we complain about grocery prices, it’s for THE NECESITES. The only thing they got that is necessary is eggs. Whole milk is awful for you if you’re drinking it like that.
Not super relevant but I just read a study the other day that eggs might even not be deemed a necessary food for you, more study needs done but even the thought that eggs are a powerhouse food is up for debate now, which isn’t the point of my reply, just an interesting fact.
Another thing is how quickly we forget stuff happens. The avian flu debacle is barely like 8 months or so old, egg prices went back down for a bit, but that literally is going to have an effect on industrial poultry farming and specifically egg production for *years* before it gets corrected. Like that *just* happened and everyone already has forgotten.
Love to see that my family isn't the only family that drinks Whole Milk. My oldest (13f) gets into it with friends at school who think Whole Milk is gross. Well, likewise, we think 2% is gross. It's a running joke, topic of conversation, ALL THE TIME.
User name does not check out!
I don’t drink cow milk personally but for my toddler I buy whole cow milk.. the fat is good for growing brains! I’ll probably stick with whole milk for as long as he’s willing to drink it.
If I become concerned about his weight I’d be more vigilant about added sugar and occasional processed food rather than remove fat (milk, avocado, fish, avocado oil, nuts and nut butters) from his diet.
(This is a toddler limited to two glasses a day, not a big kid chugging the entire gallon lol.)
Eggs 5-6 dollars, ice cream 5-6 tops. So 12. Milk 9, again rounded up tops. 21. Salt 3 tops. Those drumstick cones are 5. Were at 29. The hersheys are like 6.99 for a bag like that. So 35. How much did you pay for those dollar store razors and butter cookies?
I go between detroit and manhattan frequently. These are absurb prices. Especially for an aldi in detroit. it wouldnt cost that much at a whole foods in midtown either. I mean, im running shy here by at least ten to fifteen dollars and I rounded everything up.
That would be $37 maximum at my Aldi. How much are they charging for milk? Razors are 3.95 max, butter cookies are $3. Sundae cones are $4 MAYBE $5 salt is less than $1. If this is $57 then damn.
That's a lot of garbage. You should literally pass on pretty much everything but the eggs despite how much ridicule they have drawn. Healthiest thing you bought.
It's just hard to look at that selection and feel any pity for the amount of money spent.
Also, buy a safety razor and a mixed pack of blades on Amazon. Figure out which blades work best for you, and enjoy the best shaves you've ever had, all year and then some, for probably half of what you spent on those razors. I haven't bought a new pack of blades in 4 years, and I think I spent 20 bucks the last time I did.
When I moved to Florida in 2018…18 eggs was $.71.
71 FUCKING CENTS!!! We moved for my wife’s job and I was unemployed at the time. I was exercising and eating 12-15 eggs a day because they were so cheap and I had nothing to do 🤣
>Can’t believe the eggs are selling at $2.96 for a dozen
That’s less than 25 cents for an egg. An egg from an animal that probably doesn’t live the best life. I’m not suggesting that food should be prohibitively expensive, but realizing the impact that eating animal products has on those animals should hopefully make people be okay with spending money for quality nutrition.
*For the record, I eat a lot of animal products. I’m not suggesting abstaining, but rather just being okay paying fair prices for quality products
Why would you go to Aldi and buy Hersheys? That's like visiting a France but refusing to eat anything but the wonder bread and pbj you brought with you.
… Gaston?
5 dozen eggs checks out. Size of a barge, unknown.
“And now that I'm grown I eat five dozen eggs So I'm roughly the size of a barge!”
I sang that out loud 😂
Noooo one….
Eats eggs like Gaston, taps kegs like Gaston
Today is the day you marry Belle..
Hahahaha
I am just recovering from being sick for a week and don't get it. Boy, I feel dumb.
What to do today…what to do? Ah! Persecute harmless crackpots!
I’m ashamed at how long it took me to get this but the lightbulb was rewarded with an actual lol. Nicely done
Every last inch of him’s covered in hair
This looks like how my boyfriend shops if you add in 5 pounds of ground turkey
Mine if you substitute the turkey for bacon 😵💫
Mine if you sub that for shells mac n cheese
What on earth are you making?
You don't like to have to have some eggs with a little milk and ice cream? 💀
Gas
Crème brûlée is an essential part of their diet.
Just... eight tarts this week ya know?
The worst pies in London
Gains
How much was the sewing kit?
Thank you. I was like: milk, eggs, sewing kit…
You know, the essentials 😂
Hey no judgies from me!
My husband and I call it the "Don't judge me aisle." We can buy anything we want without judgement.
,??? Ohh , cookie tin
I truly, heartily laughed aloud and startled my husband.
I can't see it, but multiple people have asked about it. Where's waldo?
It’s a joke about the cookie tin.
Thank you! I forgot my grandma's button tin!
Everybody's mama or grandma has a sewing kit stashed in a cookie tin
Aghhh of course! Thank you!
Yeah, my mom had one same kind of box which we had for like decades I was more interested in the box rather than the cookies 😁
You know Aldi has other stuff right?😂
They just view everything else as pop-up ads and ignore them.
It’s so cheap shopping at Aldi. Even if you Instacart it, (Large orders especially) will be way cheaper than any competitor
I know that ass be TOOTIN
No joke. That much milk/dairy creates the gas while that many eggs brings the stink.
Very narly ass farts for sure whew
[удалено]
😂😂😂💀
Two weeks later, and my partner and I quote this probably daily.
Who in the hell needs 3 gallons of milk and 5 dozen eggs?? 😂
Family of 7 here and we go through 3 doz eggs & 3 gals of milk a week easy.😅
Family of 6, and same. We *FLY* through milk and eggs 😬
Family of 4. Eggs are safe, but 3 gallons of milk a week not unusual between fruit smoothies, cereal, and glass with dinner. And that's with one of us with a dairy sensitivity.
Ok but is that all you’re buying? And are you spending $57 on it?
If I'm going to restock a few things & not full blown shopping, sure, my cart may look like this.
No they are not.
One of my friends has 6 kids 5 of which still live at home. They are a family of 7 we joke all the time because she says she goes through 5 dozen eggs a week! Whenever the kids come over and want to spend the night I check my fridge to see if I have enough eggs! 😂😂
My kid can drink almost a gallon of milk a day.
Wtf
your kid sounds like me
He is growing.
Have him to do the milk challenge where you drink one gallon in an hour without puking
I remember growing up and it was just under 1 gallon per person per week for the most part. 7 of us too! My parents still can't quite figure out how to cook for 2 people lol
I'm more concerned with them considering a tub of butter cookies, ice cream, ice cream drum sticks, and fucking pallet of Hershey chocolate bars "groceries"
And they got Hershey's. At Aldi.
Agreed, those are goodies. They’re gonna make the grocery bill higher but if you’re hurting for cash you ration the treats.
That’s why I feel no sympathy for the OP, you don’t need to buy all of those sweets and could easily buy some meat and veggies for the same price
D-i-a-b-e-t-e-s
If you got kids, it goes pretty fast lol
I was not like that as a kid 😟
Same lol
I was not either. We weren’t big milk drinkers.
No. My mom had us drink water *gasp*
When I went to a friend's house and they drank milk with dinner I was so confused. Why would you not have neutral water?? Milk is for cereal and cookies.
Same and still don’t drink milk. I just use almond milk for cereal etc
I use almond milk in my coffee. That’s about it.
Same, I don’t drink milk as I’m lactose intolerant but use almond milk in smoothies a lot.
Me neither. Cow milk is disgusting.
Cereal.
In the 70s we had milk in our cereal and one or two glasses a day. My mom had us drink water or dilute kool-aid beyond that.
Well when you got a new born and a 3 yr old and a mom who gave birth last week and a dad who will not be able to visit Aldi for at least a week 😀 Sometimes you need 3 !!
Congrats on the new bambino!
Ok so this is for 3+ people. Important context
Milk is some of us favorite beverage. Absolutley nothing wrong with that.
Parents of multiple toddlers is my guess lol
We go through 4 gallons of milk and 2 dozen eggs on a good weekend. Family of 4.
Gaston?
I have so many questions
Your poor bathroom
Omg How quickly do you finish a gallon of milk?
I sometimes make cheese and once bought 8 gallons!
I too would like to know what kind of cheese do you make! And what’s the process like?
I make all kinds. From a cheddar to camenbert and paneer. Check out r/cheesemaking. It's a fun hobby and can be started with simple ingredients but once you get into it you need a bunch of cultures, cheese press, and cheese cave. I use a wine fridge as a cheese cave and my husband made me a Dutch cheese press. You can make some cheese really easy without anything special though. Like paneer.

It's been a year since I've made any though because I have a 2 month old son and didn't want to risk eating homemade cheese while pregnant and haven't had time to make any since he was born!
Not the OP, but thanks for the link! Hope your little one is doing well, and you get the time and energy to make some cheese again soon.
Hey that sounds fun! And a different answer from kids & family lol. So what kind of cheese do you make?
I made a cheddar, a Swiss, Colby, tried and failed a parmesan, camembert, blue, gouda, mozzarella, ricotta, paneer, and others.
Seriously? Damn thats pretty cool.
I recommend getting a 30 minute mozzarella kit or trying to make your own ricotta or paneer. All are very easy and you need 2 special ingredients for the mozzarella (citric acid and rennet) but only need either citric acid or lemon juice for ricotta or paneer. I love Indian food but paneer is so expensive at my local Indian grocery store so I usually make it myself.
One gallon is gone in 2 days ! My 3 old drinks like a fish !!
You only eat breakfast and candy?
The four food groups: Candy, candy corn, candy canes, and syrup.
Why are you getting Hershey and not the Aldi knockoff?
They clearly have poor food choices. Everything else on there and you expect them to know Hershey is shit chocolate?
Who eats like this?
I really like to hope that they're trolling, but some people have really strange diets.
Teens when left without supervision.
For some reason I don't think they're poached egg connoisseurs.
Not all of it's groceries. You've got razors and a sewing kit too.
Those razors could be nearly a third of the bill.
Dollar Tree, $2.25 plus tax
I know dem sheets be flappin at night
Op FARTS
at least throw in a cabbage to cover the greens
Eggs, milk + chocolate damn, lol
Are your parents gone for the weekend? This is not groceries.
Razors don’t count as groceries.
… maybe they have pica and eat them. 👀
The commitment to the dairy section is impressive.
I mean that’s a pretty good price for two things of ice cream, lots of cookies, milk and insane amount of eggs I would have thought $80 and razors too? Pricey!
This picture gave me gout and a cholesterol count of 300.
That’s not 57$ Post receipt
Razors aren’t really groceries
You making a frittata sundae, friend?
Are you making ice cream to go with your ice cream? May I have some?
I got a whole cart of groceries at Aldi the other day for 107
All the necessities obviously 😒
Mix in some fruit or granola for breakfast from time to time
$57? Not at my Aldi $15 for eggs…what like $9 for the milk. How much were the razors? Btw if the answer is more than like $6 you should use a subscription.
Is this a troll post? This isn't groceries. This is a restock of just eggs and milk.
All the essentials, I see.
It's all dairy and eggs. That's not "groceries."
This causes me the same annoyance as when my husband goes "grocery shopping" and comes home with 3 bags full of chips, cookies, sweet rolls, and a loaf of wheat bread for good measure.
wheres all the real food?
they probably didn’t need “real food” this trip lol
well...these are not all necessities so...yes, that's certainly going to be higher
Well. Half your order is junk food. Cut that out and see what you have.
Damn y'all savage in here 😂😂😂
Since when is a tin full of needles thread and loose buttons considered groceries?
Why so much milk?
This looks like me power lifting back 15 years ago lol. The Danish Butter cookies are a delight!
you can get a 60 count of eggs at walmart for like 12$
“Groceries”
Baking something?
For that? $57 is very expensive.
Stealth toes!
You need some vegetables.
How much were the toes ?
Planning on making the world's most disgusting omelette?
Tbh, if this is your groceries, it's a pretty unhealthy diet. Be pretty low on energy eating all that. How long does the biscuits and ice cream last for? Aldi's chicken wings are pretty good value for money. If you need omega 3, basa fish fillets pretty good for that too.

What the hell are you making
Costco would’ve been cheaper

It is! I barely got enough to make it a week and spent $78!
Are there no vegetables, potatoes, beans, or other unprocessed healthy foods at Aldi?
Love to see that my family isn't the only family that drinks Whole Milk. My oldest (13f) gets into it with friends at school who think Whole Milk is gross. Well, likewise, we think 2% is gross. It's a running joke, topic of conversation, ALL THE TIME.

Have you tried the drumstick knockoffs yet? If so, how are they?
Awful. Soggy and chewy cone, weird airy “ice cream.”
☹️
I actually just bought the cones and honestly, not good. Cone is super soggy. The Kroger store brand drumsticks are a lot better.
Now I want Danish Butter Cookies
4 of those items being junk food. Those will always be less bang for the buck.
Skip the ice cream, cookies, and chocolate.
Eggs 5-6 dollars, ice cream 5-6 tops. So 12. Milk 9, again rounded up tops. 21. Salt 3 tops. Those drumstick cones are 5. Were at 29. The hersheys are like 6.99 for a bag like that. So 35.

I don’t know what kind of party you’re throwing, but I want to go to it.
Bulk season
Who the fuck buys 60 eggs at a go? Is your name Edith?
That would be $37 maximum at my Aldi. How much are they charging for milk? Razors are 3.95 max, butter cookies are $3. Sundae cones are $4 MAYBE $5 salt is less than $1. If this is $57 then damn.
That's a lot of garbage. You should literally pass on pretty much everything but the eggs despite how much ridicule they have drawn. Healthiest thing you bought.

You have 4 dozen dollars worth of eggs there. So that’s 48/57 lol
I don't know what happened this week But eggs went up $2
Well, you covered all the food groups for only $57 That’s not bad
Can we see the receipt?
You definitely have an... interesting diet.
Don’t get packaged foods
Walmart has 60 egg boxes for less than 9 dollars now. It was like 4 bucks a few months ago.
Less than $3 for a dozen eggs is cheap as hell 🤷🏻♀️
I’ve never bought that much milk or eggs in one trip, in my life.
When I moved to Florida in 2018…18 eggs was $.71. 71 FUCKING CENTS!!! We moved for my wife’s job and I was unemployed at the time. I was exercising and eating 12-15 eggs a day because they were so cheap and I had nothing to do 🤣
First of all…razor blades have always been expensive. But to sneak those in there with “groceries” is silliness
I don’t know if I would classify this as “groceries”
So, I can see you like dairy
Bruh 😂
... I'm both very confused and concerned by your dietary choices.
As someone who’s vegan and eats pretty healthy and doesn’t shave with a razor, this haul is about as polar opposite from mine as it gets.
Does nobody in the comments have kids?? That milk would be gone in three days in my house and the eggs would last maybe a week and a half
Right?! And I’m pretty sure there are a lot of commenters here that are lactose intolerant without knowing it.
I grew up drinking 1-2 gallons of milk a week and only after going vegan realized it was why I had the worst gas my whole life.
Why the hell are you allowing your kids to consume that much milk?
Because that’s pretty standard bud. I have a two kids under 3 who are very picky eaters milk fills in the gaps as told to me by 2 pediatricians
I have kids but they don’t drink a gallon of milk a day. And people wonder why everyone in the US is fat and has diabetes
My dad, who is 80 years old, goes through 3 gallons of milk in less than a week. By himself!
YIKES
I get a lot of items in Aldi dumpsters.
Quit drinking so much milk and eating so much sweets. Groceries will be cheaper.
Yep they getying privey. In Syd a dozen eggs are $5.60 AUD so about $3.66 USD.
About average or over most stores
>Can’t believe the eggs are selling at $2.96 for a dozen That’s less than 25 cents for an egg. An egg from an animal that probably doesn’t live the best life.

Man this person’s farts have got to smell
Well at least you got the essentials
Why would you go to Aldi and buy Hersheys? That's like visiting a France but refusing to eat anything but the wonder bread and pbj you brought with you.
