Check out the Fan Favorites items online.
On ALDI’s website, there is a Fan Favorites section you NEED to check out before you shop. Each year, the products featured here are voted on by loyal customers. You can spot these items in the store too—just look for the heart-shaped logo.
New Hot Deals hit the shelves on Sundays.
The Hot Deals section consists of heavily discounted items. Inventory doesn’t last long, so your best bet is to shop them on Sunday or Monday morning.
ALDI Finds are seasonal items—so act fast!
These limited-edition products are only released for short periods or at key points during the year. Pro tip: The most popular items end up back on shelves permanently.
Don’t underestimate ALDI’s name brand products.
ALDI brands are the secret sauce here and cover most of the shelves. Just because these products are on the cheaper side, doesn’t mean they’re lower quality—most ingredients are nearly identical to big brands. According to ALDI’s website, as of 2020, 1 in 3 ALDI-exclusive product is award-winning. A true win-win!
Benton’s is a must-buy if you have a sweet tooth.
Simply Nature offers healthy snack options.
Simply Nature by ALDI stays ahead of the health trends. The Cauliflower Tortilla Chips, which are available in sea salt and nacho flavors, are insanely good. Warning: One has been known to eat an entire bag in a single sitting (one = me).
The desserts taste homemade.
Belle Vie is nearly half the price of La Croix.
ALDI’s Belle Vie sits directly next to beloved sparkling water brand La Croix. While they look nearly identical (down to the colorful packaging), one is almost half the price per box. Both are sodium-, calorie-, and sugar-free.
The Specially Selected line has some of the most unique offerings.
Get ready for some serious gems. I’m obsessed with Specially Selected’s Avocado Tomatillo Salsa.
Did I mention products are nearly identical to name-brand items?
Not only do the ingredients mimic name-brand varieties, but so do the designs. Just look at these Savoritz Saltines that go for under a dollar. Remind you of another brand??
Berryhill has the tastiest spreads and condiments.
ALDI’s hazelnut spread comes pretty darn close to Nutella. It’s a cheaper alternative that’s just as delicious on a banana or—who am I kidding—by the spoonful. Berryhill’s products include jelly, jam, chocolate syrup, and preserves.
Bread usually goes on sale a few days before its expiration date.
ALDI isn’t short on healthy options.
Cheap food that tastes good and is healthy—what’s the catch? There isn’t one. ALDI-exclusive brands are free from certified synthetic colors, added trans fat, and added MSG. You’ll also find a larger range of organic products than you might expect.
And if you’re gluten-free, there’s good news.
Be sure to check out ALDI’s in-house gluten-free brand, liveGfree. From bread and baking mixes to General Tso’s chicken, you can treat yourself to all your favorite goodies…without the stomachache afterward.
ALDI is also the place to go if you’re on a budget.
With ALDI, you can always count on a solid product mix at a low cost. More than 90% of products on the shelves are ALDI brands, which have a draw for the financially-conscious shopper (a.k.a. everyone).
On a time crunch? ALDI helps with this too.
Products often have multiple barcodes, which makes it much easier for cashiers to quickly scan the item instead of constantly checking each side of the package.
Returning something couldn’t be easier.
Not happy with a product? No problem! ALDI believes in its products so much so that customers can return pretty much anything without any issues. Just make sure to return the product packaging and any unused product.
And you’ll get more than just your money back.
Not only will you score a refund, but you’ll also get a replacement item. It’s all part of their “Twice as Nice” policy.
Specials are revealed prior to hitting shelves.
ALDI gives its customers a heads up before a deal drops. Shoppers can find out this info online or from the in-store circular.
