Hey everyone, it's Caitlin and welcome to another video. Today I'm going to be filming another grocery haul for you. I seem to get a lot of positive feedback from these videos and I actually think that they could be really helpful for someone who is new to the vegan lifestyle or for someone who is slowly transitioning into a vegan diet and is in trying to incorporate more fruits and vegetables. I always read all of your comments on my videos but I read all of the comments specifically on this last grocery haul that I filmed. And a lot of you actually suggested that I check out Aldi which is where I went this week and thank you also for your suggestions. I absolutely loved it. The produce quality has definitely improved since I last went and they had a lot of really good deals which you will see shortly. So in total this week I probably spent around $35 on groceries and I spent about $8 at Walmart. I needed to get a toothbrush so that's why I was there and I wasn't sure what Aldi was going to be like. So I just bought two bunches of bananas and then a bag of organic apples and that was around $8. And recently I've been trying to be more conscious about buying more organic produce but I am a student on a budget so it is harder for me to buy all organic food 100% at the time. So if you're in a similar situation ask me I highly suggest that you check out the dirty dozen. It is a list that is published yearly of the 12 foods that contain the highest levels of pesticides so those are the foods that you should buy organic. Some of the most common foods that you probably buy on a regular basis would be spinach, apples and potatoes but other foods like bananas for example are a lot lower in pesticide levels so it would be okay or more okay I guess to buy those conventional if you're on a stricter budget. So anyways that is all I got at Walmart so now I will move on to everything I got at Aldi and I got some really good stuff at Aldi. I just shopped their sales but overall their prices were still really low so I was really happy about that. And all the stuff that I got at Aldi was only $27 and a few extra cents which as you will see shortly is a really good deal. So I got a watermelon this was only around $250 so next I got this box of organic spring mix and this like spinach is one of the foods that has more pesticides so I decided to buy this organic this time but this was only $5 which is really good for baby spinach in general and for organic as well. Next I got some hearted romaine lettuce and I got some sweet corn one avocado a cucumber I got a jar of maple syrup because I was running well when I was actually really impressed at this price it was only around $650 I think and at most grocery sources it would be like $10 or $12 so yay. And next I got some bananas the one thing I didn't like about their bananas was that they were covered in plastic bags and I always try to bring reasonable bags and reduce my use of plastic but these were a little bit cheaper and I needed more bananas so I got them anyways. Then I got some corn tortillas and I was actually really excited to find these these were only about $1.50 and there's no added oil to them it's just corn and then a few other ingredients but that's really important to me as I try not to add it. I don't have any extra oils into my diet because realistically oil is not healthy so I was really excited to find these at an awesome price as well. Pro tip if you want to make your own tortillas you can buy these and just sprinkle a little water on them and then pour some ceasings on top and it will stick and then just fake them in the oven and it's a lower fat healthy alternative to your conventional tortillaships. Then I found this in the clearance section and it was only $25 so I was like really how can I say no. It's essentially a sauerkraut I think but it's made with red cabbage and apple and then there's a few other ingredients like vinegar and sugar so I think it's basically a sauerkraut but I'm really excited to try it and it was only a quarter. And then finally mangoes were on sale at Aldi for only $0.50 each so I just decided to get a box. I think there is two people who are that excited. So I got eight mangoes and yes I'm very excited for these as I am very excited for mangoes season. All right guys and that's everything I got. I hope this gave you some good ideas of foods to maybe purchase the next time you go grocery shopping. As I mentioned in my previous video I do have a pantry tour where I show you everything that I have in my pantry in terms of not perishable items like dry beans or rice. Again I will link that right here if you're interested in checking that out but other than that that's it. Thank you for watching and I will see you in the next video. Bye.
