Holiday Party Shopping and Planning at ALDI

If you need delish munchies for your next holiday party, ALDI (the nation's leading low-price grocer) has got you more than covered.  Sparkling cider, check.  Festive tortilla chips, sweet potato chips and salsa, check. Holiday cookies, check. Stoneware baking dishes, mixing bowls, candles and decorations, check.

The store's helpful website provides yummy party appetizer recipes. And for your Christmas Day feast, ALDI also has a quality selection of poultry, dairy products and fresh produce.

At ALDI you pay .25 for a shopping cart and get it back when you return the cart. You can bring your own shopping bags or purchase ALDI's sturdy, reusable bags for a small fee.


Over Thanksgiving, I used a gift certificate from ALDI to shop at a market in my hometown of Baltimore City. Being the snack queen that I am, I was honestly impressed by all of the healthy and tasty options from ALDI-exclusive brands including SimplyNature (awesome soy milk), Clancy's (the chips are addictive), Nature's Nectar and Fit & Active. These brands are made by leading food producers, and more than 25 million savvy shoppers per month save without sacrificing quality thanks to the market's affordable and streamlined approach.

ALDI operates nearly 1,300 stores in 32 states.  And now that I've devoured a few of the market's top-notch snacks, I look forward to shopping at ALDI again… and again.


ALDI has a great selection of snacks and beverages, perfect for your next holiday party.

Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater Comes to Brooklyn, June 5-8

Attending a performance of the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater is always a highlight of my arts and culture calendar. An engagement with this awe-inspiring and genre-bending dance company is even better when they perform close to home at the Brooklyn Academy of Music.                                                                                                                                         Photo: Danica Paulos Ailey’s long-standing relationship with BAM began in 1969 when the trailblazing choreographer established The Ailey School in Brooklyn and presented his company’s...

Memorial Day Summer Swimsuits in the Amazon.com Swim Shop!

Memorial Day weekend is right around the corner.   Do you have your new summer swimsuit yet?  If not, Everything She Wants recommends checking out Amazon.com's  Amazon Swim Shop . Me at the Amazon Swim Shop preview. The online shop is stocked year-round with trendy and timeless swimsuit styles, cover ups and swim accessories from your favorite brands. While I'm usually partial to the figure-flattering tankini, at a press preview for the Amazon Swim Shop, I noticed that the often unforgiving one-piece suit has made a compelling comeback. Thanks to a generous gift card from Amazon I took a chance and ordered a Calvin Klein one-piece in a pretty nude/coral "Sand" color, along with several bohemian tunics. Now here's your turn.    One lucky reader will receive a promo code for $100 to spend at the Amazon Swim Shop (qualifying items must be sold and shipped directly by Amazon and not a third-party seller). Here's how you can win ( you must comp...
