Cheap Backpacking Food at ALDI 

I love Aldi! You can't beat those prices on backpacking food and everyday food. Great video! There are for sure affordable food options out there for sure. Dollar Store and Dollar General always have some great options. Another informative vid my friend! ~RVA~

Great ideas, Tim. I head to the dollar store often for backpacking snacks and other foods. They actually have a great selection. Cool video. Take care.

LOL good stuff you found. I need to spend more time and look a little more. I've gotten a lot of the stuff you did, but a lot I missed. Liking the humor man!

Great finds, Buckley! I definitely remember the Hydrox cookies...lol! Good ol' days!! 😁

Nice one Tim! I'm always on the lookout for camping food ideas from the supermarket shelves. I'm far too cheap to buy the stuff from camping shops unless I really have to! 😁 Like the look of the dried fruit, and the peanut butter bars👍 Will keep an eye out for them in Aldi over here in the UK. Season's greetings to you👍😊

Oh man, how have I never thought of stuffing. Great idea 👍

Great choices. Grocery stores are the best places to find great backpacking food. Thanks for the shoutout. I do love steaks over a campfire 😁😁 Thank goodness I didn’t see Mountain House in this video 😂😂

LOL the Pure Kick animation was awesome.. I had to rewind the video and watch it again LOL Great finds.. sadly no Aldis here in Washington. Damnit. Some decent finds at the Dollar Store. I do cheap meals all the time. Thanks for the video brother

Love this “Aldi finds” episode! First time viewer and subscriber!

I gotta look for the stuffing now! Thanks!

Aldi and Lidl have been my supermarkets of choice in the UK for about the last 10 years, many items are less than half (some even more) the price of the big name supermarkets! It's a win win. Thanks for the awesome plug by the way. 🙏🏼👏🏼🙏🏼👏🏼🙏🏼

If you are using the dried fruit to kick up your oatmeal I found the Freeze Dried reconstitutes more like the real McCoy. The Dehydrated ones tend to reconstitute more on the mushy side , like the ones in a pie ( soft ). The freeze dried are crispy like from a tree. I have a grand time in grocery stores mixing and matching things for Freezer Bag Meals. Want to protect those cookies from being crushed ? Use an old Pringles Potato chip container. Hydrox Cookies , Yep remembering them. We have 2 ALDL'S a huge ALDI down the road and a smaller one in town.

Thanks for this video. Gives me a few ideas on my next trip coming up soon 👍

I just tried a new dessert. I put a Jello pudding packet in a freezer bag with 1/3 cup of NIDO. On trail add 10oz of cold water into bag and stir with a spoon for a couple minutes. Have pudding in about 10 minutes.

I've been hiking/backpacking for 48 years now and I still go cheap. The only thing I read on labels is carb content. Good video Tim.

I wish we had Aldi out here (hopefully someday), but it’s nice how many stores nowadays have foods that make sense for backpacking. Trader Joe’s is my favorite, especially their soft and juicy mangoes.

Good morning Tim, loved have a virtual shop with you, you have some different items in your Aldi, will have to have a check and compare what we can get Iver here. Ultimately a great source of low cost items and soem ideal backpacking supplies! 🎒 thanks for the video and ideas, have a great week, Ceri and Kat ☕ ❤ 🗺 🎄 p.s the beard is looking super strong 💪 😀

I dont know if anyone else likes this , but I absolutley love GV frosted wheats that I dip in Jiff Penut butter. I get a 24 oz box of frosted wheats and a 40 ox jar of Jiff for under $10.00, and its like 8800 calories. Always feels like Im eating something substantial with a satisfying crunch, lots of fiber, filling penut butter, and sweet frosting. I live this much better than any bars. I also bring nutella for a change up, or a combo...lol.

I need to have a look.theres a aldi just around the corner from me.thanks for the suggestions, I will try some things out. I hope they have that peanut butter bar. I want one. Never knew there was aldis in USA. Do they have a lidl aswell??. Great vid Tim

A Buckley Taste Test is a tough hurdle! I trust you completely with backpacking food recommendations! And if I can save some bucks, I'm all in!

Extra special work! You have a brilliant ideas to share. Keep it up and congratulation on a content well created! Looking forward to more amazing content.

Found your channel, I like it! You Americans have everything, Australian Aldi you lucky to find a anything dried, except maybe an overlooked old tomato! I do buy Knoppers at Aldi for hiking treats.

Love Peanut Butter! For sure going to check those out. AND those beef sticks. We are doing a small trip this weekend and I might have to stop by!

You could use the freeze dried stuff for a cobbler.

Yeah, I hit up the Aldi from time to time. Def some good items there and the prices are solid.

Great finds Tim! It's been a while since I've been to Aldi. I'll have to stop by.

TANG PUREKICK?!!!! Thanks Captain ALDI! Now, I have to make a special trip to try out all your suggestions. Thanks for helping me re-find my passion for Rockstar Drinks and now, I can only imagine where this rabbit hole of suggestions goes. Off to ALDI I go!

ALDI is my jam! This was a great video idea Buckley.

I picked up a Land O Lakes 6 flavor sample collection of the hot chocolate in Costco last year. It is by far the best I've had and part of my winter food bag. We don't have an Aldi here but Dollar Tree is a great place to pick up backpacking food for cheap.

No Aldi near me in Eastern Washington that I know of but we have "big lots" where I have found lots of interesting stuff to eat.

Very nice tips and hiking snacks video😊 We love going to aldi and buying different nuts, dried fruits and chocolate chips to make my very own trail mix concoctions❤ also we buy a container of aldi old fashioned oats and make our own granola bars the day before for hikes😊

I recently started shopping at aldi just for regular shopping and was surprised when I bought some frozen mexi cali chicken patties that are uncooked. Looked at the ingredients and it was Chicken, bell pepper, red pepper, colby jack Cheese and I think one other normal ingredient. Great option to get away from all the harsh additives. They are trying to actually sell organic and just normal food there. Lot of people don’t know that Trader Joes is owned by Aldi as well.

Aldi is definitely a favourite of mine to pick up some cheap eats!! And especially camping food! But being lightweight is definitely important, I made the fatal mistake of carrying way too much before, it really makes a difference! Great video as always my friend!

Truly outstanding. Thank you.

When you said CAFFEIIIINEEE!!! I lost it. Fucking funny lol. Great sense of humor sir!

Ya I am always keeping my eyes peeled while shopping, trying to find items that could be used for backpacking that are tasty/easy/different etc. We had a streak where we were going to Aldi regularly... not so much lately! Maybe thats a flaw in our food acquisition strategy!! Great tips!! And now I'm intrigued by the Buckley approved bars!! ....Normally 300 calories packed into something small doesn't work out well for me though! 😞

Im not sure if its because I grew up with it, but the spray cheese at aldi isnt bad lol. I like it on my toast. Camt have it all the time but its shelf stable and better than nothing while camping and you want cheese. Ive also found a discount store called Daily deals. It has close dated/over stock foods and the past year or so theyve had shelf stable cheese bars like the ones you get at the mall from the big kiosk with summer sausages and kelly and crackers. Something farms lol They had smoked cheddar/smoked Swiss/ smoked gouda/sharp cheddar and all sorts of other ones. Even bacon cheddar and salami cheddar. All with a good date on them. We often have a bunch in the deli drawer as they were only $1 last time we were there. I throw crackers and a couple packs of the cheese and onr of the shelf stable summer sausages in the bag to go whem we know we might be out for a bit. I've seen the same cheese at another discount food/merchandise place called Ollies.

Love Aldi❤️I’m totally gonna try the Perfect Bar! Señor Rico is in my fridge now lol yum

We shop at Aldi all the time. Super cheap. The Dollar General caffeine drinks might be one of my biggest takeaways. You had me at Rock Star. That’s my energy drink of choice. Of the sugar free options, it’s the best. 🦑

We don’t have Aldi in the PacNW. Is it like a Trader Joe’s? Lots of great options there too.

The karate kicks were the perfect touch. I've never shopped in an Aldi, but have taken many similar items up in the mountains. Take care, bud.

I like to take one half of a box of Stove Top stuffing and one half of a package of mashed potatoes and put that in a zip lock bag. At camp I will rehydrate the zip lock bag with 2 cup boiling water and 1 packet of mayo, if you add some turkey jerky you have got instant Thanksgiving dinner.

Food, glorious food!! Lost of options and not a fortune! We don't have ALDI in my part of the world, but all these in various brands can be found here too! Otis is very partial to peperoni! 😁 Bruce and Otis

Dollar general in some areas carries single serve spam packets! Which tastes best in the back country!

Great video. I love that stuffing! It's sooo good. But you can only get it this time of year🥺 I need to go stock up.

Love ALDI! And love perfect bars for hiking.

Gonna have to go check some of these things at Aldi's. Thanks for the info! I see our sticker! LOL

Very helpful - thank you! 😊

Dude. My wife loves Aldi. Im always amazed at what she finds there. Looks like I need to send you some stickers.

Nice haul there we seem to have some different stuff in the Aldis here still worth checking out though

great video as always Tim. no Aldi over here in Canada but some great ideas here forsure.

I’ve been wanting to do a video like this for sure! Unfortunately there isn’t an Aldi video around but I want to do one from Dollar Tree! Do you think it would work from some cheap place like that?

The Simply Nature Coconut Cacao Granola is great there as well.

Gear and food has come a long ways since the 70s, we lived on oatmeal, jello,Ramen,,Ramen more Ramen and hamburger helper.Surprised I've lived this long.😀🤣

Hi Tim another top notch video, I love Aldi and go there quite often doing the weekly shop but you must have different items in the US compared to us in the UK as I don’t think I’ve ever seen any of that stuff lol I’ll have a look for the British alternatives in store 😁👌👍 ATB Mark & Simon

I am always looking for new things to try when out on the trail. When I went for my first time with MaryAnn it was hard because she doesn't eat much. So I had to come up with my own ideas.

Aldi is great. Our daughter works there and they are a good employer too. Fine products and some good ideas here! It’d be great if they sold pot too but that’s probably a few years off. 😄

I haven't thought about Aldi. I'll look into it and Lidl too.

Great video. I'm with your friend Hoot ( no added sugar) about to go on this no sugar challenge next year...😜

Just found your channel can't wait to dig in

Going to Aldi's tomorrow to find some of those bars, the Stroopwaffels, and beef sticks! LOL

I'm a ALDI SHOPPER , but I haven't looked for those specific ITEMS , Wich I will check out , in my next ALDI ... incursione For the TRAIL !!!....LOL

I really enjoyed this 👍 Good onya mate

Wish I had an Aldi close to me but DG is clutch on the way to a trail

I never think of Aldi for backpacking food! Fab video, guess where I’m off to? 😂- Happy Hiking 🥾- Julia from the UK 🇬🇧

Do the Aldi cashiers throw the shopping at you at a ridiculous speed like they do in the uk?

Btw on your aldi backpack vid from around 2 yrs ago you mention hydrox cookies Did you know that they were available before oreo.

Thank you for the Aldi review. I like the couscous too. Quick easy meal with salami, pepperoni or chicken. Press on.

If you want some good CAFFEEEEIIINE!!!! You definitely should give a Turkish coffee a try. The best coffee you possibly could have in a backcountry. That's what I always drink on a field exercises or my yakpacking trips.

Aldi definitely has some great deals. My wife always gets annoyed with me because while shopping I’m always looking for new backpacking ideas. 👍🚐😎✌️

Awesome snack options and I see that it's important to return to Aldi. Senior Rico 😂 Loving the dry hoot approved fruit options. I got the same hot cocoa. I had those steaks before too. Real good. Bologna 😂. Those bars look great. Peanut butter. Yum. Yes you sound like an Aldi cashier 😆

Darn it, now I’m hungry 😂

It's a good video. I'm looking forward to the next one.

Quite the snack selection Tim. To bad Aldi is not close to my location.

Yes! Aldi is a great resource. They have great stuff. I haven't tried the freeze dried fruit. That will be my next purchase. Nice looking purple sticker behind you. I heard that guy is a turd though...lol Crow

Bro! Checkout the "Specially Selected Smoked Gouda MacnChees! It's the 💣 💣 💣! Just add water too! Powdered milk and butter included. Comes in a box but the food is in a sealed pouch. Their version of a cliff bar is the best too!

That's great bro

5:45 anyone remember when those used to come with more like crackers and then there was a little red plastic rectangle in there? The red plastic rectangle was for spreading the cheese or peanut butter I guess. Anyway, in elementary school me and other kids used to hoard them and see who had the most. Whoever could stack theirs the highest was the "winner" Yeah... oh well. It was the 80s. We didn't have Animal Crossing yet.

I too, am a fan of Aldi and the PB Perfect Bar!

That blood orange should taste like drinking the blood of my enemies or I'm not interested😁. Some pretty good finds there however I was distracted by your sticker board and noticed something........😪

I'm excited about the Backpacking Norm Macdonald

Aldi is great! Good video sir.

This video will sell my wife on backpacking lol. Thanks!

I've only been there once and bought a laundry basket lol but tend to prefer his brothers store trader Joe's mostly for cheese and wine 😂 I'm sure each have there benefits cool vid

Nice cheap food. Yummy!

Be happy Tim 😃

They have the freeze dried fruit just like those at the dollar tree for $1.00 a bag

Never heard of Aldi, but I am always down for saving money on food. A penny saved is a penny toward the next adventure.

Me: *Sees Hawaiian Stuffing Mix; loses mind with excitement; opens Maps to find closest Aldi; becomes crestfallen when realizes there are no Aldi stores in the PNW*. Great video as always, Tim.

Great content! Thanks! I will check out Aldi's! I 👍👊

If it’s “100% Buckley Tested” it’s got to be good!

Those cheese dip things are better than prune juice… every time I eat one within 15 minutes I’m running to the bathroom 😂

I always like seeing what other persons are eating though, I’ve gotta get more creative with my meals lol

Those beef sticks with Spanish rice o ronni ready rice and some Taco Bell hot sauce are great

Pure kick now has a citrus flavor!!

Aldi sells good-sized bags of shelled sunflower seeds for cheep. Either salted or unsalted. Country of origin: Bulgaria.

Much better to go backpacking with cheap foods than nothing. Many can't afford expensive foods in these days. "Foods" is primary need to stay alive.

Informative and hilarious boom

Hello from Mississippi Buckley

I like Aldi too.
