Come to Aldi with me!
No, really let’s be shopping buddies.
No one quite does low prices and quality foods like my beloved Aldi (I have grocery bags from the 90’s, y’all- talk about sustainability!)
Now that I’m on the Keto train again, I wanted to share my favorite little buddies that keep my tummy happy, my family annoyed at how much I talk about carbs, and my wallet heavy!
Here’s the only math equation I’m good at:
Total carbs - Fiber = Net carbs
I try to eat around 26g of carbs a day.
If something has a serving size of more than about 5g net carbs, I’m Audi 5000.
Ok, let’s goooooo!
Parmesan Crisps. Yep. That’s it. I pair them with macadamia nuts for a snacky, fat bomb treat.

Ok, pork rinds are not my jam to just eat straight from the bag, but these make an awesome crunchy crust on something like homemade chicken strips! Texture is your friend and these hit the mark.

And I always buy myself a $3.99 bouquet because I deserve it for working hard. And sometimes I don’t work hard and still buy them because they make me happy. Just buy yourself the damn flowers! It’s self care, Bebe’s.
Ok I bought all this, plus some food for my family (cereal, breakfast foods, bread, snacks) and it was $9.00.
Just kidding, it was like $140.00, but STILL. Ok bye, I hope you buy all of this and more, let your Aldi Keto Freak Flag fly!
