12 Aldi finds this week starting at $3 — they’re all cheap and low-calorie

JUST because you’re shopping on a budget doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice your health goals – a super shopper has shown you can find some high quality, low calorie products at your local Aldi, and they’re all for cheap.

Bec Hardgrave, who goes by @bechardgrave on TikTok, is known to her hundreds of thousands of followers for hacks and reviews in the food and fitness space.

Recently, she took her viewers on a trip to her local Aldi and showed them just how they can find amazing snacks that don’t break the bank or your diet goals.

Many mistakenly believe it’s impossible to eat healthy when you shop at bargain retailers, but Bec has shown this is anything but the truth.

1. ICE CREAM TREATS

First, Bec found a delicious ice cream delight in the dessert Golden Gaytime.

These popsicle-like snacks consist of toffee and vanilla ice cream dipped in chocolate and topped with vanilla biscuit-like crumbs.

Each popsicle clocks in at 236 calories, and a box costs $9.50.

But a better ice cream option at Aldi is actually the Summer Delight, which is a similar creamy popsicle with a dipped topping. And what’s more – it costs less at $4.99 and is even lower calorie than Golden Gaytime.

One of the healthiest sweet snacks available is the Paddle Pop Rainbow.

For $8, you’ll get a delicious ice cream described as “colorful swirls and caramel flavors.”

Each serving is just 90 calories.

But another fruity popsicle treat is the Plat-a-Pops, which costs $4.99 and only has 81 calories in a serving.

And of course, your grocery spree for cheap, tasty and healthy treats could not end without mentioning Halo Top’s 360 calorie tub of cookies and cream ice cream.

It’s $10 but it could be worth the expense if you prefer your ice cream lower calorie and protein packed.

But, as Bec showed, a much better option might be Kenny’s, which is the same amount of calories with a higher protein content.

2. HIGH PROTEIN WRAPS

If you make your way out of the ice cream aisle, you’ll also discover a whole new range of healthy and affordable options.

The Better for You Simson’s Pantry brand offers high protein, low carb wraps for only $4.50.

At only 111 calories per wrap, they’re a much healthier choice than a standard wrap, which clocks somewhere near to 200 calories.

A similar option is the Superfood Co’s Low Carb Wraps for $3.99.

3. FRUIT LIQUEURS 

5

There’s also a no-extra-sugar liqueur beverage called Diet Rite. The drink, which has an apple blackcurrant flavor, is $3.50 and just 7 calories.

Or if that’s not your style, Bec also found an apple raspberry liqueur for a little less at $2.69.

4. GRILLING ESSENTIALS

You don’t have to settle for unhealthy buns when you’re grilling a burger.

Bec found many great options for buns, but there was a clear winner.

You should stay away from Aldi’s Brioche Gourmet Buns for $6.10 and instead opt for the four pack of Sesame Seed Buns for $3.29.

TIPS TO SAVE

Whether you’re shopping at Aldi or any of your favorite shops, looking for deals can also lead to spending more if you don’t approach shopping with a plan.

A tip to help you save – know your prices.

This means keeping track of prices and comparing items from store to store.

Next is to sign up for the many loyalty programs places are offering. 

This is free at many retailers and you can earn points and/or receive coupons.

Some stores will even notify reward members ahead of any sales.

And lastly, avoid impulse shopping.

It’s best to go in with a list so that you don’t end up with items you don’t really need.

Another Aldi lover shared her top finds at the discount retailer this week, including one of her top five kitchen gadgets.

Plus, Aldi fans are going wild for a 3-in-1 snack maker that cooks waffles, brownies and donuts.
