To help shoppers navigate this week's assortment of Finds, chef and influencer Bobby Parrish took to Instagram to share his favorite buys.

Bobby, who goes by FlavCity on social media, is a grocery expert who regularly shares advice for shoppers at Aldi and other popular stores.

His goal is to educate people on some of the nutritional aspects of their groceries so they can save money and live healthy.

In the Instagram clip, Bobby recommended four budget- and diet-friendly Aldi finds that shoppers should keep an eye out for this week.

1. Grass-fed ghee

Bobby's first recommendation was a bottle of grass-fed ghee that cost $9.99.

Ghee is clarified butter that has a healthier fat concentration than standard butter, according to Healthline.

Bobby added that anyone who is casein or lactose intolerant can eat ghee, since it contains butter fat with no milk.

He said it works particularly well with scrambled eggs.

2. Hearts of palm rice

As a keto-friendly dish, Bobby recommended picking up hearts of palm rice from Palmini.

The Aldi location that Bobby shopped at was charging $2.69 for a 12-ounce bag of the rice.

He pointed out that the side dish is low in carbs, and provides two grams of fiber per serving.

"Fiber-rich foods are prebiotics, they feed your gut bacteria," Bobby said.

3. Acai superfruit packs

Next, Bobby recommended picking up Simply Nature Acai Superfruit Packs.

Acai is rich in antioxidants, making it a popular healthy option for smoothies and bowls.

Specifically, Bobby told shoppers to look for the unsweetened version, which has no added sugar.

On the other hand, standard acai pack has 12 grams of added sugars.

Each 14-ounce package cost just $3.99.

4. Organic chicken sausages

For his last recommendation, Bobby spotlighted another product from Aldi's store-brand Simply Naure.

Two flavors were available: green chili and barbecue seasoned.

Both were made with organic ingredients, and cost $4.89 per 12 ounce pacakge.

"Best-in-class sausages and best-in-class price," Bobby said.
