ALDI recently sent over this make-your-own juice pops idea using leftover single serve coffee cups. This took me a couple of tries, given that after you run one of these through your Keurig, it kind of … has a hole in the bottom… making the juice pop extravaganza somewhat futile unless you get creative with the plastic wrap as shown above. So here’s what we have going here:
- Take leftover Beaumont single serve coffee cups, pull out the filter, and wash thoroughly.
- Press a piece of plastic wrap into each coffee cup, leaving excess around the edges as shown above.
- Dice up a little fruit of choice and add to the bottom — here, I used strawberries.
- Fill the rest of your cup with your favorite Nature’s Nectar juice — here, I used Berry Burst.
- Cover with a small piece of foil.
- Stick a toothpick through the foil into center of your juice pop.
- Freeze for at least four hours.
- Pull off foil.
- Remove juice pop by pulling the whole plastic wrap liner out.
- Remove plastic wrap.
Ta-da! Tiny juice pops for the littles. (Note: If you have real Popsicle sticks, I’d recommend using those instead for smaller kids, since the toothpicks are a little sharp.) These cute and the right size for smaller kids who don’t finish a whole larger one, plus you can customize with your own fruit and juice flavors. If you don’t want to mess with the whole plastic wrap thing, just use a small cup or other “mold” of your choice.
The fine print

Next up in our ALDI gluten free series — frozen blueberry pancakes
Posted by rachel in aldi, gluten free, reviews
Today we stopped by ALDI and decided to try their gluten free frozen pancakes. The blueberry ones do not contain dairy, but they also have a buttermilk variety, which, well, does, lol. So we went with blueberry for Mr. dairy-free 10.
These are in the “SimplyNature” line so contain no artificial colors or flavors — although they do have plenty of sugar. Both boys highly approved of how sweet these were, but I thought they ran too sweet.
I did approve, however, of how they came prepacked in groups of threes, so you can make a few but not leave the rest in the box open. 12 pancakes ran $2.89, which for a gluten free product isn’t bad. If you think about the non-sale, non-coupon cost of conventional name-brand freezer pancakes, this price is actually comparable to that, rather than to their gluten free equivalents.
So, just thought I’d show you these since many of you have been asking about the gluten free products at ALDI. As with the gluten free brownies I bought last week, these are also a limited time special buy — but I’m hoping that the fact that we keep seeing gluten free products appear means that they’re becoming a regular part of the rotation. (Because if anyone needs more ways to save on food, it’s people with food allergies and sensitivities!)
- And, hey ALDI — bring back those gluten free chicken nuggets! Please.

And here’s a totally unsolicited review that boils down to: We all liked them, yay!
And they look pretty much like conventional brownie mix brownies, don’t they? They’re only slightly more grainy, but ALDI really has the flavor and texture down otherwise. This mix takes 1/2 cup oil, 2 eggs, and 2 tablespoons water. The box did not specify dairy free, but also has no obvious dairy ingredients, so see what works for your family’s dietary needs.
So they’re not brownies of health food — here are the ingredients for your own perusal — but instead are brownies of: I want a mix that’s kind of like the ones I can buy on sale for a dollar at the grocery store, because I miss them. This mix cost me $2.99 at ALDI, and is a limited time special buy. If you eat gluten free, keep encouraging ALDI to bring in more gluten free products!

ALDI impulse gluten free mixes shopping, plus some Jewel
Posted by rachel in aldi, jewel, shopping trips
Stopped by Jewel and ALDI today, mostly because we needed some lunch meat and produce. Haven’t been in the Villa Park Jewel in a while, and it’s looking nice — and where did the “wing bar” come from?! lol
Jewel
2 Fisher peanuts, $4.00. Used $1.50/2 in the 4/28 SS.
Eggs, $.99.
pound Sara Lee turkey, $4.03. Used $1.00/1 in the 3/3 RP.
pound Sara Lee low sodium chicken breast, $4.11. Used $1.00/1 in the 3/3 RP.
2 KIND bars, $2.00.
Paid with a $2.00 Catalina and $10.02 for a net cost of $12.02. Meh, but we needed lunch meat…
ALDI
Gluten free baking mix, $2.99.
Gluten free brownie mix, $2.99.
Lower sodium bacon, $3.49.
3lb Gala apples, $2.49.
Cauliflower, $1.99.
Bananas, $.48.
Tortillas, $1.69. (I meant to grab the $.99 ones, oops.)
Spinach, $1.79.
Two strawberries, $1.98.
Paid $20.24. Bought the baking mixes partially out of curiosity, and partially because these are another special buy for a limited time, and I’d love to encourage ALDI to continue bringing in gluten free products. (Psst – ALDI — we need those chicken nuggets back!) They’re made with white rice flour so aren’t particularly nutrition-dense — but then again, that’s not what I look for in a brownie mix!
