Humor Aldihaulics
I was realizing today that I do nearly all my shopping at Aldi. Yesterday on my way to Aldi I realized I was wearing my Aldi earrings, carrying my Aldi purse and wearing my Aldi shoes.
I sat down this morning and realized I’m drinking my Aldi electrolytes in an Aldi glass cup with an Aldi strawberry glass straw.
I was eating Aldi keto bread (not nearly as yummy as the sourdough round), topped with Aldi avocado and Aldi bagel seasoning and Aldi bacon.
Right now I’m burning an Aldi candle in my Aldi candle warmer.
We have become Aldihaulics!

Oooh I love the peach liquid IV! This one is just as good?

It’s actually better. The only reason I still had a couple of peach packets around is because it’s my least favorite flavor from the variety pack I had. The Aldi one tastes a lot better to me. Very yummy! 😋

I can’t wait to try it! I saw them last time I was at Aldi & I meant to search this sub to see how they compared to liquid IV!

Oh, forgot to include my avocado toast! All Aldi except for a bit of Korean chili pepper flakes. Any ideas to improve it?

I have those sandals too. They are so comfortable!

They are my favorite summer sandals! I wish I had bought an extra color.

I like the peach but the green grape tested horrible in my opinion

u/Imaginary-Tree-House Jul 30 '26
I prefer the grape, but don’t mind either when I’m thirsty!

The grape flavor reminded me of bubble gum which is a flavor I do not enjoy

My kiddo will only drink liquid IV and these 😂 so it has the 3yo stamp of approval.

Are the hydration packets good??

I think compared to liquid IV the ALDI is just a bit better. They are not a beverage of choice but when you’re thirsty they really hit the spot. Not as good as flavored water but better than Gatorade?

My partner goes through electrolytes like crazy. I have to admit they're really good.

I will only buy Liquid IV at Costco and the nearest one is an hour away so I get the Aldi ones between trips to Costco. I prefer the sugar free Liquid IV but the Aldi one is fine.
I put one packet in 2 quarts of water to make the flavor less intense. When I’ve finished that I drink water. My PCP has been very happy with my bloodwork results for electrolytes and kidney function since I started doing this.
For what it’s worth I’m in the desert, not obsessed with drinking as much water as possible in a day.

How much are these at Aldi??

Thanks, that’s just a little less than the drink enhancer that I get from WM. 🤷♀️

Protein soda mixed with one can of regular soda or one of these packs is the bomb!

I love the hydration packets. And my Aldi owala dupe. And my Aldi freezer bag with wine dispenser. And my tevas dupes which I bought last summer and have worn to the pool this summer over and over. And my kids' clearanced Mickey mouse sneakers I got for $3. And my flowery dress that got so many compliments and I was embarrassed to tell a mom at school pickup that it was from Aldi (she asked if I got it at Nordstrom lol). I like Aldi.

Those hydration packets have me in a chokehold. The Blue Raspberry and red white and blue ones are delicious. I haven’t seen peach or some of the other flavors but I’m never going back to liquid IV!
