Aldi offers a variety of wholesome real foods at some of the most affordable prices I have seen. So, as you stock your traditional foods kitchen pantry, check your local Aldi for real food at bargain prices!

Using Aldi Real Foods
In today’s Aldi Real Foods video, I show you an outstanding buy on ground beef. This ground beef is 100% grass-fed, so it will be high in Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA), and research studies have shown that CLA can be effective in preventing lifestyle diseases.
You can use your ground beef in a variety of recipes, but to capture the fun of the remaining summer, you can use the beef to make the best homemade Sloppy Joes.
And you can make the hamburger buns for your sloppy joes homemade too! Although I don’t show it in my latest video, Aldi also sells all-purpose and whole wheat flour that you can use to bake up the best homemade hamburger buns. You’ll love these two recipes for the perfect homemade lunch or dinner.
