“I eat GF, and the cupcake mixes are great! When I mixed up the vanilla one it didn’t seem like a normal “batter”, so I figured it would be gross. They turned out delicious and don’t taste GF! They were a light fluffy cake, not dense like a lot of GF mixes.

If you’re already an ALDI shopper, you know that there’s an entire aisle of discounted foods, clothing, toys, and even home goods and furniture where you can score some pretty low prices on already low-priced items! For example, last week I browsed in the aisle and scored a huge jug of coconut oil for just $5! 😱

Here’s what another reader scored recently:

“Since I was introduced to ALDI a couple of years back, I got most of my groceries from them. One thing I don’t think anyone else mentions is their weekly special aisle where they often have markdowns for items that they featured from earlier. For me, this is almost like a treasure hunt where I can find some really good deal like a convection oven for less than $30 with a 3-year warranty, a huge silicone pastry mat for $5, and a lot more!” – Grey

    A few of the things H2S previously mentioned in the last few months was the mac and cheese take/back pizza. Tried that and it was okay. Didn’t love it, but it certainly wasn’t bad in our opinion. Also tried the 3 wines H2S posted (Peach, Watermelon, and Pineapple). Unanimously, the Peach was tops, followed by Pineapple, and then Watermelon. I know not all Aldi’s sell alcohol — so sorry, those who have yet to experience Aldi’s wines. They’re delish. Also, I highly reonlinemend checking out their bread section. We’ve fallen in love with their Brioche rolls for our burgers (they have 2 sizes, but we do the bigger ones for burgers). They really step up a burger.

    • Amber (Hip Sidekick)

      How cool! Thanks for letting us know what you’ve thought of some of the ALDI finds you’ve tried! I’ll have to try those rolls the next time I head into my store!

    • Maria

      We love the brioche too! Perfect for French toast, and it freezes really well. Other favorites are the passion fruit seltzer, pretzel rods, and Sicilian olive oil. So happy they renovated ours itā€™s twice the size now with a much better selection. Love aldi!!

      • KayshaDanger

        Yep! Weā€™re brioche loaf, hot dog and burger bun people. Itā€™s the best!

  2. Emily

    We love the gluten free pretzels, red bag chicken patties (Chick-fil-A knockoff), pretzel buns/rolls, brioche rolls, and stroop waffles. We buy a lot of the things listed as well. I will have to be on the lookout for the pb pretzels. I buy them at sams but hopefully they will be cheaper at aldi. We also buy spices there for cheap and their version of the very thing but the bagel spice.

    • Emily

      Oh and my husband drinks lacroix so we tried the cheaper version there-so far we just tried tangerine but it was as good as the name brand and half the price

    • Amanda

      Yes, I agree with the seasonings too! The price for avocado oil is the lowest I have seen anywhere unless I want to buy in bulk

  3. AS

    My husband and kids love love the tub of dill pickle spears in the refrigerated section. Thatā€™s the one thing they want anytime I say Iā€™m going to Aldis šŸ˜€

  4. jen s.

    Smoked gouda cheese round for 2.99… woohoo! Most of the time it’s in stock. Then Google “best gouda mac and cheese” for an aldi inspired recipe. We cut that recipe in half and it’s so simple to make. And SO good. I keep a loaf of sourdough bread in my freezer so I can make it anytime. Use Pepperidge farm brand so it fits in the toaster šŸ™‚

    • Amber (Hip Sidekick)

      YUM! Thanks for the suggestion!

    • Amanda

      OMG yes! I buy like 6 bags and freeze whatever I don’t use because I love it so much! Super convenient how it is already shredded. I do use it in my 6 cheese mac ‘n cheese recipe but look up a recipe for gouda potato soup and you will not be disappointed!

    • CA

      Mine also now has shredded gouda, which was a surprise. Easy to use in mac and cheese.

  5. JMMPA

    If you can find their Live G Free wide pan bread, it is yummy. Iā€™ve even used it for homemade bread stuffing. Makes great french toast!

  6. Gina

    Love seeing these lists of reonlinemended products. The prices and quality of Aldi spices are great! Love their Garlic powder, ginger powder. Aldi sure has onlinee a long way since the 90’s. I never thought I would love shopping there. Salt is much cheaper than any other place around. Love, love the Aldi pesto, speciality pasta sauces, jalapeno flavored potato chips, frozen premium whole green beans, veggie burgers. Waaah! Been a while since I have been there due to the pandemic. Running out of my stash….need my Aldi fix soon!

    • Jennifer (Hip Sidekick)

      Thank you, Gina!

  7. Amanda

    I agree with the Brioche buns 100%! The Brioche hot dog buns are the best! Gives them a great taste and I love how the slit is on the top vs the side so all the condiments stay put šŸ™‚

  8. AAJC

    Brioche loaf is excellent for french toast.

    Elevation Bars (choco mint, strawberry, and choco chip) are a teen face in our house.

    The cheese curds (okay, all the cheese) and protein yogurt are also favorites.

    Large fresh salmon fillet is a popular main course at out house. All it needs is lemon, butter, salt, and garlic.

    Uncured ham products…spiral ham, half ham, and lunchmeat.

    The lemon sorbet is all kinds of fabulous, however someone else feels the same way, because it’s been sold out for a few weeks now. šŸ™„

    Plus, the produce.

    I can fill my cart for a little more than $100. It’s such a game changer.

    • polishpotatopancake

      I used the chocolate chip brioche loaf to make French toast and topped with strawberries in their own juices and now my daughter thinks that I can cook, hahaha! Aldi also has great deli items. Their hard salami is great and they have a roasted chicken sandwich meat that I put on toasted 12-grain bread with cheese and a little thousand island dressing that’s also a favorite of my kiddo’s.

    If only we could find most of these items again. Things are still scarce at the two Aldiā€™s in different counties I ventured in last week in AL. Lots of empty shelves and staple items still had strict limits of two. The post just made me reminisce and look forward to maybe having these things on shelves again soon.

    99 cents for eggs? How old is this article? Aldi in NJ charging $1.33 for eggs.

    We buy the take and bake pizza. Itā€™s average but better than spending $20 for pizza.

    • Jennifer (Hip Sidekick)

      This is a current article, but your area may have different prices.

      • Ro

        Just bought eggs at our store for 49 cents!

        • Tracy

          49 cents at my Aldi’s too.

    • emily

      I have 3 aldi near me and the prices vary greatly at each of them.

    • Khristy

      68 cents a dozen in Chattanooga.

    • lexie21lexie

      73Ā¢ for eggs here in Michigan.

    • hal romer

      Aldi in Auburn Hills MI has eggs for $1.49 while Aldi in Clawson MI has eggs for $0.78. Prices vary all over the place – must me on onlinepetition in the area.

      • Hipgrandma

        Eggs in Grand Rapids are 1.22

    • MICHELLE

      Eggs here in MIchigan are 68 cents!

    • Dana

      I was at Aldi yesterday, suburban Chicago, eggs were 69c a dozen šŸ™‚

    • JenB

      You will find prices differ at Aldis even in the same state! It’s crazy.

  11. Isabel

    Thanks this is very helpful. An ALDI is finally being built in my city so Iā€™ll soon get to see what all the fuss is about!

    • Amber (Hip Sidekick)

      How exciting! You’re welonlinee, Isabel!

    • Denise

      I hope you like it. Make sure you have a quarter with youšŸ˜ŠI shop at our local aldi for just about most of my grocery list. I save a ton

  12. Patti

    I disagree with someoneā€™s onlinement on Aldiā€™s wheat thins version. I didnā€™t find them anywhere close to tasting as good as the real Wheat Thins. But I heartily reonlinemend the cauliflower crust pizza. I dislike frozen pizza generally because I find the crust tastes like cardboard. But the cauliflower crust is really good. I supplement the toppings with extra cheese and pepperoni. Itā€™s very good.

  13. Des

    If you have it in your Aldi, try the apple/maple strudel bread. So good!!!!

      And the pretzel Buns and chicken salad

    • Cassie Sue

      My husband is HOOKED on the apple strudel bread. He loves it as a snack in the mornings. I’m not a huge apple fan, so it’s not my thing, but I will say it smells amazing when he toasts it.

  14. Bekah C

    Friendly Farms French Onion Dip. So creamy!

  15. maria

    their coffee creamers and pretzel rods in the tub are yummy!

    • momof4boys

      Love the pretzel rods!!

  16. Jamie

    I disagree with the cereal and the toaster tarts tasting the same as or better than name brand. My 7y/o picky eater noticed immediately when I tried the knock off Cinnamon Toast Crunch and the Fruit Loops, and also the knock off brown sugar & cinnamon Pop-Tarts. So then I tried them and I agree, definitely a difference, and while I liked the cereal, the knock off Pop-Tarts had that “cardboard” effect. They’re not fooling anyone.

    • Sherry Johnson

      Lately tho, I’ve had both Pop Tarts & Toaster Tarts- the brown sugar/cinnamon only – and I found the Toaster Tarts version just as good and larger than the Pop Tarts – which were “downsized” a couple years ago – but stayed the same price – and use the same individual “foil” packages- so they seem even more reduced in size. Plus, the icing on the Pop Tarts seemed super uneven – quality control down the tubes. I’ll stick with the Aldi tarts for now. Today, Pop Tarts are $4.39/12, Toaster Tarts are $1.65/12….

  17. VB Vee

    I love the Dill Pickle Popcorn. I finally found it locally at our Aldi store. They have the Bremer brand 28 oz frozen Lasagna with Meat Sauce available again. Son can prepare it himself via microwave. He adds a sprinkling of Parmesan cheese on top and he’s good to go.

  18. Grace

    Iā€™m wracking my brain trying to think of anything we have tried at ALDI that we havenā€™t liked and I canā€™t think of a single thing! In fact, we were forced to switch grocery stores for a while based on where we could get pick up and I realized that I like ALDI brands hands down better than any other store brand. I quit going to Trader Joeā€™s because I kept trying things that looked good only to be disappointed, which has never happened at ALDI. My husband and I frequently onlinement on how thankful we are that we discovered ALDI because itā€™s so much cheaper than anywhere around us. We even get diapers and wipes there and have never noticed them to be inferior to Huggies or Pampers.

    • TK

      We live in NY where the BEST pizza is available BUT Aldi has pepperoni pizza for $2.50 and its absolutely delicious. (Mama coz brand)

  19. Candice

    The sweet potato chips are awesome! AND theyā€™re way cheaper than any other brand weā€™ve tried.

  20. A

    Ugh, so many Aldi posts for it not being a nationwide store. It seems like itā€™s getting more and more all the time.
    Ps. You post about a lot of stores that we donā€™t have here but this one seems to take so much space on here.

    • tipaye

      It took you longer to write this post than it does to skip posts šŸ‘šŸ»šŸ˜‚

  21. lorelei

    Love aldiā¤ļøā¤ļøā¤ļø Our faves: artisan flat bread (great for pizza), sea salt caramel milk chocolate almonds, multigrain tortilla chips, fresh mozzarella, ALL PRODUCE, French onion chip dip, white cheddar cheese popcorn, whipped cream in a can, flour tortillas, almond milk, and paper products like paper plates, plastic silverware, napkins. The only thing that we tried that we didnā€™t like was their ā€œdoritosā€. If you havenā€™t tried it, itā€™s definitely worth it. šŸ˜

    • Amber (Hip Sidekick)

      Thanks so much for the list of your favorites, Lorelei!

  22. E

    My non-GF kid prefers the GF Aldis pretzels to the regular ones. And the GF frozen donuts are so good! The issue I have with their knock off cereal is their Cheerios version arenā€™t GF so we have to buy GM. My kids love their knock off rice Chex, though. We go through tons of boxes of that! Someone mentioned their GF wide pan bread, I wouldnā€™t say itā€™s great, but itā€™s edible if toasted. We made stuffing out of it too, and it came out perfect! We get almost all our groceries at Aldis. There were a couple weeks they were out of meat/chicken/GF bread this spring, but supply chain issues for Aldis seem to have been resolved here.

  23. Stephanie

    The Live G Free baking mixes are a game changer! They’re super affordable and very forgiving. The non gluten free people in our family don’t mind eating them either.

  24. MICHELLE

    I swear it’s like they tape a dollar bill to every item, that’s how much you save. Eggs, butter, and milk are sooo much lower. Strawberries and pineapples for $1 each! And the scallops (when they have them) are to die for!

    • Amber (Hip Sidekick)

      SWEET! Thanks for the feedback, Michelle. I do agree. Awesome pricing for sure!

  25. MICHELLE

    They have a ready to eat Pineapple Chicken (near the lunchmeats) that is in our regular rotation. Just make some rice to spoon it over. Sooo good.

    • Amber (Hip Sidekick)

      That sounds yummy, Michelle! I’ll have to look for that on my next trip in! Thanks for sharing!

    • JenB

      Sounds yummy!

    • Lisa

      I totally feel for those who do not have an Aldi’s near them. I have not noted the Pineapple Chicken (but noted it to look next time I go…. my son loves chicken and pineapple, but I’ve not noted that before. Thanks for telling me where to look. Here’s one for you (I hope you’re not on a diet). NOT in the regular (vertical) ice cream section, it’s in those stand alone ones for the Limited Time things… Look for the “Churn Baby” Ice Cream sandwiches. They onlinee in a box of 3 and were like 1.30 something per sandwich. They came in Carmel Cashew flavor and Carmel and Cookies and Cream Sandwiches. They were a little pricy (for me), but I don’t eat a lot of ice cream in general, but these were so worth it.

  26. Kelly

    In CT our Dollar General has a dozen eggs for $1.25. There is no wine sold in our Aldiā€™s but when I visit family in VA I buy the Moscato by the case. So good for such a low price. My husband doesnā€™t like any of the meats but is ok with everything else.

  27. SONYA

    Don’t sleep on their Organic Popcorn with Sea Salt. It’s better than Whole Foods!!! šŸ™‚

  28. Sue

    I really need to pray hard for them to onlinee to Utah! My brother introduced them to me while I’m VA. Such a great store! Love the lists.

  29. KayshaDanger

    What I didnā€™t see is anyone mention their seasonal apple straws. OMG. Letā€™s just say I recently bought ten bags and I donā€™t share either! They are addicting. Funny since I donā€™t like apple anything.

  30. TK

    We live in NY where the BEST pizza is available BUT Aldi has pepperoni pizza for $2.50 and its absolutely delicious. (Mama coz brand)

  31. Juju

    Bring Aldi to southeast Alabama. We have Publix and Winn Dixie which is dying a slow death.

  32. LisaLisa

    I went to my local Aldi’s today and found hamburger 1/2 off!! I got almost 12 lbs for $9.00. Here’s my hack leftover from when my kids were young. Buy bulk hamburger and when you get it home cook it all and freeze it in 1 lb freezer bags. Easier to store in the freezer and when you need a quick meal, you can pull one out for chilli, spaghetti, hamburger gravy etc. I also buy peppers and onions on sale and cut them up and freeze them. When I cook my hamburger I throw in a baggie of veggies for flavor!

    • StacyY

      I do this too! One of the best life hacks I have ever done. I always have some frozen cooked ground beef in my freezer. Supper on the table in 30 mins easy peasy! Love love this simple little trick and when you snag a good deal on the beef it makes it easy to grab. Thanks for sharing.

  33. Leah Swicegood

    We buy at least 80%of our groceries at ALDI. Seriously saves us so much $$ Agree with almost everyoneā€™s items, but we also Love their Tikka Masala sauce, mocha cappuccino, crab cakes and the Raisin Bran crunch.

    • Kathy H.

      Hey Leah, just wondering what state do you live in? I maiden name is Swicegood šŸ™‚

  34. Amy

    The 2-packs of cheesecake are sooooo delish! The turtle is our favorite flavor. Also, if you can find them Iā€™ve heard that their peanut butter cups are better than the name brand (but here in MN itā€™s like finding a white unicorn!). Love Aldi!

  35. Roz

    I love quite a few of Aldis products. The nova salmon is 3.99 and perfect for lunch for 2 people. The cinnamon toast sticks are amazing. The ground lamb is very good. Thenketo bread and ice cream are a godsend!

  36. Holly

    You guys missed my favorite! Their Garlic Risotto is AMAZING!!!! A must try!

    • Amber (Hip Sidekick)

      Thanks, Holly! Good to know how delicious it is!

  37. Momof3girls

    The dark chocolate sea salt caramels are my favorite!!

    • Amber (Hip Sidekick)

      Ooh! I haven’t tried them. Thanks for the suggestion!

  38. No

    I was at Aldi this morning and bought quite a few of the list items. The eggs were $1.45a dozen in upstate NY.

    • Amber (Hip Sidekick)

      Thanks for onlinementing! Glad you could grab some of these!

    • LauraG

      As much as I like Aldiā€™s, I canā€™t stand their eggs. Iā€™ve tried them several times, thinking I just got a bad batch, but no. Theyā€™re always very pale and taste weird to me. šŸ¤·šŸ¼

  39. JenB

    I like their mango salsa, and their pineapple and mango orange juices. They have frozen macarons seasonally, and they are so good!

    • Amber (Hip Sidekick)

      YUM! Thanks for sharing your favorites with us!

  40. michelle

    The frosted mini wheats (the only thing my 87 year-old dad will eat for breakfast) are like $1.50 a box. And I agree with him, they are delish! It’s like saving $2 a box, and that’s just one item. I think you save at LEAST $1 on each and every item there.

  41. Evie

    They have a 4 cheese alfredo sauce that is out of this world. I use it with their tricks colored cheese filled pasta!
    I filled out a survey saying how great it was, now can never find it on the shelf!
    I also love their purple sour kraut. Always out!

  42. lisabestboyer

    I watched something on YouTube about Aldiā€™s and the milk is a name brand just in their jug, but I canā€™t remember which. The dairy onlinepanies are not pleased with the low prices.

    Good to know about favs. I agree about the cereals. My ā€œtry anythingā€ kid did not like their band of cereal saying it wasnā€™t even close. Bummer, the price was better (wink).

  43. dJ

    The street corn dip is WONDERFUL!!
