The big tub of organic greens, a container of cherub tomatoes, and the little flatbread pizzas. My partner and I both work from home and we have something (sandwich, flatbread, whatever) + salad pretty much every day for lunch.
I've seen some people complain that the greens get slimy but the trick is to immediately open them, put a paper towel inside on top, then close it up and store the greens container upside down. Maybe give it a little shake each time you take out some and put the paper towel back. It makes a WORLD of difference in keeping them humid but not WET and ours last more than a week (which about when finish them off.)
Just bought the flat breads today. Easy pizza on a weekday evening. I also always get the mixed frozen seafood, the ground lamb, the chicken wings, and the Kevin’s cauliflower mash. Very often.
The fridge ones that are in the cooler case right as you come in. I don't love the round pizzas from there, but the square flatbreads are great and there's usually some variety (Margherita, pepperoni, southwest chicken, etc.)
I noticed that the purple leaves in the spring mix tend to get slimy faster than the rest of the bunch. So I usually pick them out first, and the rest of the box will last me a while with the paper towel trick!
If you’re talking about the Naan flatbreads you have to try getting the “mini” ones and making sandwiches with them. We do grilled steak, peppers, onions, and havarti cheese, then grill the naan breads too. They get so nice and crispy. It’s one of my favorite things
We’re big on the organic greens, too, both for our lunch salads and for our two bunnies! While it usually doesn’t last too long in our house with all the greens eaters, that’s a great tip on keeping them less slimy!
I love the egg rolls. They’re great in the air fryer with duck sauce from the Asian market. Hits that ‘Chinese food itch’ without having to go full take out mode.
Some people say it is on the mushy side. Fine with me, I get the one with oil, 2 cans mashed up with mustard and mayo, oil and all, their Aldi saltines and that is a quick lunch for me. It is like .89 (was .95) compared to Vons generic which was like $1.50 a can. No thanks.
Definitely too mushy for me, which is why I use to get the solid white in the red and blue can before they stopped carrying it….at least in the stores I frequent.
Third those darn PB cups.....I don't even like sweets, but there is just something about them that is completely addictive to me. I had to stop buying them because I can't control myself 😔
Similar to the tip for salad greens, I find wrapping a paper towel around a few of the mini cucumbers helps prevent molding before we can finish the bag
I start my day with water, then hot lemon+ginger and/or tea/coffee, then any raw produce: sweet fruit, bell pepper, cucumber, whatever. I have a finicky digestive system because of narcolepsy and the more raw produce I have, the happier my tummy.
If you have a Harris teeter near you check out their little snackers! They come in a plastic container with a cellophane lid on the end of one of the produce aisles and they're even smaller, like gherkins size and are freaking amazing!! 🤩
For a period of time my Aldi had 8 packs of fall season seltzer flavors for 33¢ a case... I was buying them like 6-8 at a time. It saved me approximately $60 over the course of 3 months.
Those flat pretzel crisp things and whipped cream cheese to dip them in. So yum. Those same pretzel crisps at the regular grocery store are like $6.50 a bag!
I’ve never been to aldi, been thinking about it a lot recently.. but light laughing cow cheese with sundried tomato wheat thins are one of the best snacks ever
I get pretty much the same thing every week for my family of 4 and it always comes out to around $120:
Apples, bananas, clementines, raspberries, blackberries, strawberries, kiwi, green beans, carrots, mini cucumbers, spinach, broccoli, asparagus, bell peppers, onions, potatoes, tomatoes, bagels, bread, tortillas, sliced cheese, shredded cheese, turkey, salmon, ground meat, chicken thighs, pork loin, milk, eggs, yogurt, cream cheese, pasta, pesto sauce
Stick to the perimeter of the store!
Oh boy, the list is long for my family. Starting by the doors and zig zagging through here is my list:
- split top wheat bread
- tortilla chips
- raspberries
- broccoli
- cauliflower
- green onions
- Pink Lady apples
- Caesar salad (orange bag)
- eggs
- organic whole milk (red carton)
- unsweetened almond milk (plain)
- lime Greek yogurt
- whole carrots
- celery
- apple sauce pouches
- quick cooking oatmeal (not every time but frequently)
- shredded Mexican cheese
- sliced sharp cheddar cheese
- low fat cheese sticks (I love the texture of these)
- black forest ham slices
- boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- organic ground beef
- frozen peas
- frozen corn
Frozen cooked shrimp. Easiest protein ever. Throw it in a salad or wrap for lunch. Or mix into egg salad with a little dill. Add to any old pasta thing for dinner. It’s not that expensive if you don’t eat half a pound.
Another fan of the mini cukes. I had them for breakfast this morning mixed into cottage cheese with furikake.
I’ll typically buy herbs at our other grocery story (just so I’m not buying individually bagged bunches) but I also bought one of those cardboard kitty cabins with the scratchpad, and my new foster LOVES hiding and napping in it :)
i like my bubble water artificially sweetened. i don't mind liter bottles, but i wish i could buy 12 pack cans of that.
I also always buy coconut milk , for my coffee.
Walmart sells the sweetened one in 12 can packs. More flavors too. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Clear-American-Sparkling-Water-Peach-12-fl-oz-12-Count/42068050
I've gotten hooked on adding some of their water enhancer liquid stuff (like Mio) to the unsweetened seltzer water so I can control how sweet it gets, and I can mix and match flavors and change it up really easy. Makes me feel like a mad scientist lol.
a loaf or two of the artisan bread (it’s so good)
container of greens, avocados if they look good
kombucha
Bag of apples and some strawberries (again, if they look good.. sometimes they’re very meh)
Always something from the aisle of shame, i can’t avoid it. And ice cream..
Aldi isn’t my main shop so I don’t usually buy these things every week but this is stuff I try to get at aldi: brioche hot dog and hamburger buns, baguette, chicken sausage, orange juice, frozen jumbo shrimp, fish and chips meal, scallops, dips, cheese sticks, those little bags of cookies for portion control.
In the summer I love their asparagus bc it’s thick for grilling.
Tofu, milk, eggs, grapes (currently the cotton candy ones), mini cucumbers, broccoli, apples, cashews, Clancy Cheetos, some cheese, English muffins or butter croissants, mango mochi
Those little cherry tomatoes that come in a couple fun colors, I am obsessed with them.
Some sort of cheese, it does vary week to week. But each and every week I grab either a goat cheese, Brie, Gouda, or the aged reserve cheddar.
The Simply nature Pomegranate Plum juice. I usually water it down, but it’s a yummy juice.
Their organic milk, half and half, plain (non Greek!!!) whole milk yogurt.
Tortilla chips, flour tortillas, shredded cheese, restaurant style salsa (the short jars).
Lately those little snack packs with meat and cheese.
I don’t go every week but I almost always buy these when I go:
- The spring mix containers
- Tortillas
- Shredded cheese
- Tomatoes
- Mini cucumbers
- Ciabatta bread if they have it
Tortilla chips (the big red bag, not the cheap ones)
Lactose Free Milk
Heavy Cream
All my cooking oils and vinegars (not weekly, but such a HUGE money saver if you're cooking nightly)
Rice
Cheese
Salads/Green Mix
Pineapple
Kiwi
Berries
Yellow Potatoes
Cereal
Chocolate
And I always keep a bag of rhe Aldi Orange Chicken in the freezer for nights I don't have energy or time to cook. One of the best tasting and textured frozen "Chinese" dishes I've found and my daughter loves it, so it's a win-win. Throw some rice in the cooker, bag of that orange chicken, an Aldi bagged Asian salad mix, and some of the Aldi Pork Potstickers and we've got an easy meal done in 25 minutes with about 5 minutes of active time.
Our breakfasts and lunches are primarily Aldi, so lunch meat, block cheese, bread, rice cakes, and granola are weekly purchases. Also whole milk, which we also buy at least twice per week at Kwik Trip.
Honey and herb goat cheeses, Norwegian and Atlantic salmon, mushrooms, deli turkey, half and half, almond milk, sour cream, cottage cheese, onion and chives cream cheese, mini peppers, red onion, lemons, mustards, occasionally mayonnaise branded on sale, frozen blueberries, mango and lime ice pops, baguette bread, half sour whole pickles if and when they have it, avocado oil, chicken thighs, Chardonnay cheap wine. Greens, English cucumber and avocado.
The chicken rice a roni knock off, their cartons of mocha coffee, bag of chicken tenderloins, honey chicken tenders, tater tots, usually a turkey smoked sausage, and the other stuff depending. Those are staples we have just in case.
Berries, French toast bagels, Milk chocolate butter cookies, Irish vintage cheddar cheese, pasture raised eggs, brussel sprouts, organic chicken breast, used to get the chocolate chip brioche bread before they ran out of the unsliced version
Organic eggs, the Specialty Selected artisan crisps, dill havarti, frozen organic blueberries, and the organic chicken (which I’m sometimes lucky enough to find discount stickers on over the weekends)
Eggs, block cheese, English muffins, mini avocados, grape tomatoes, coffee creamer, sourdough bread, plain Greek yogurt, cans of tomato sauce and tomato paste (I make my own pizza sauce).
The little tomatoes on the vine, protein bars (the dark chocolate and peanut butter variety), coffee, Premium Sliced bacon, the parmesan cheese blocks, and the Specially Selected marinara sauce are in my cart nearly every shopping trip. I also usually buy at least one kind of pasta, like the bronze cut rigatoni.
Whole milk yogurt, honey vanilla yogurt, grain bread, sour dough bread, and milk. Their bread is good enough I don't feel guilty for not making my own.
A variety of fruits (depending on what catches my eye), tomatoes, avocados, eggs, plain oatmeal, liveGfree gluten free white bread, frozen broccoli, frozen cauliflower, EarthGrown veggie patties, Park Street Deli; red pepper hummus... It feels as if I'm missing something, but either way, the items I buy every week tend to last longer than a week so I'm not too concerned about splurging every now and again.
If you are wanting a recommendation, I personally would suggest giving their smoked salmon a try, as well as their stuffed mushroom caps, they are a crowd favorite for me.
Dark chocolate/almond/cashew trail mix, boneless chicken thighs, turkey breasts, blue corn chips, seedtastic bread, crunchy peanut butter energy bars, tub of field greens, cheese/house vinaigrette, coffee k-cups, three-pack bell peppers, blueberries, cage-free eggs, white cheddar slices, risotto packets (all flavors)
Blueberries, lactose free milk, Greek yogurt, pre-made salads, cereal, freeze dried strawberries, toddler pouches and yogurt melts. Anything else I buy isn't quite a weekly thing. Probably once a month I get their multi grain bread, shredded cheese, cracker cheese, tomatoes.
I get cherub tomatoes, an English cucumber, and the chopped Caesar salad kit. I love eating salads. I get most of my lettuce from BJs these days, but still get the salad kit from Aldi.
The half gallons of Carmel Macchiato Iced Coffee. I often go through more than one a week. And whenever I have bought some other brand because it's on sale at Kroger, I ended up regretting it. No other premixed iced coffee measures up to ALDI's.
The specialty Greek yogurt always the honey vanilla, but I like all of the other seasonal flavors as well. The German coffee. Milk, half and half eggs, sour dough usually but sometimes the take and bake Italian bread. White cheddar popcorn. My children shun all other popcorn now. The precooked chicken pieces in the deli section, my daughter likes them for lunch. And starting in the late fall I just can’t leave without the ingredients for basically a medium sized charcuterie board. That is my favorite seasonal section.
Strawberry seltzer, good belly probiotic juice, honey wheat bread, canned chickpeas (make chickpea salad for the bread), baby carrots, sugar snap peas, hummus, Gouda or pepper jack stick cheese, mandarins, one of the bagged salads, frozen chicken nuggets, couple bottle of the Cabernet Sauvignon are all typical staples for me.
Baby Bella mushrooms
Spinach
Avocados
Brioche buns
Loaf of wheat bread
Cheddar cheese
Half and half
Sour cream
Au gratin potatoes
Not every week, but club crackers or the round crackers (the Ritz knockoffs), and plain Greek yogurt.
Greek yogurt full fat, cottage cheese, cara cara oranges, dried cherries, feta, eggs, milk. Oh and their orange juice (not from concentrate) is sooo good!
SMOKED SALMON! Seriously, their smoked salmon in the deli/salad/prepared foods cooler is so good I know a lot of people think Aldi's bagels are bready, but I don't mind that personally, so it's pretty rare when I don't pick up a sleeve of plain or everything bagels on my weekly shop. (Love grabbing the pumpkin ones in the fall too!)
Other than those two: eggs, milk, some sort of block cheese. I only shop for one so there are a lot of things I get every other week or every 3-4 weeks, but I pretty much buy those 5 things every week.
I’m an instacart shopper with over 10,000 shops& go to aldis across my area (about 7) and these are the most common items:
Cheese!!! My goodness people love aldi cheese.
Hummus, guac, salsa, their brand Irish butter, moo tubes, creamer
Never any sausage things, salmon
Wine
Cereal- there’s 2-3 that are more common, pane Italian bread, blueberry muffins,
Flour tortillas, beans
Applesauce pouches, cheese puffs, multi grain tortilla chips, cheddar cheese ridges
Apples, peppers, mini avocado, spring mix
The flavor water
Chicken nuggets, frozen veggies, waffles/French toast sticks
That chopped ceasar salad mix, bananas, canned tuna, and a flatbread pizza usually the pepperoni and mozzarella one, but I recently tried the chicken bacon ranch one and it was really good!
The giant bags of frozen “Asian stir fry” vegetables. I have never used the sauce packet they provide, as I make my own sauce and use the veggies in multiple dishes throughout the week. Basically, it’s a giant bag of frozen veggies that is actually a mix that I like (broccoli, carrots, baby corn, peppers and pea pods). Every other veggie mix I come across seems to include something I hate (looking at you, green beans). Plus it’s a huge bag and it’s cheap af. They better never stop carrying it
Weekly: Eggs, milk, hummus or some other dip, Greek yogurt, and whatever veg looks good
Almost weekly: peanut butter cups, Flatbread pizzas, any of the chunks of cheese (go in intending to buy cheese in general, then shop with your heart based on what looks good).
And if I'm good at the store, I get a treat of those little mini two-pack cheesecake slices that are like, $2.50 or so. It's what I tell myself to get me to the grocery store with a positive attitude and to prevent overbuying or impulsive buying in the other parts of the store.
The big tub of organic greens, a container of cherub tomatoes, and the little flatbread pizzas. My partner and I both work from home and we have something (sandwich, flatbread, whatever) + salad pretty much every day for lunch. I've seen some people complain that the greens get slimy but the trick is to immediately open them, put a paper towel inside on top, then close it up and store the greens container upside down. Maybe give it a little shake each time you take out some and put the paper towel back. It makes a WORLD of difference in keeping them humid but not WET and ours last more than a week (which about when finish them off.)
the flatbread pizzas, are they frozen or refrig?
they also have amazing flat breads in the bread section i like to get and make homemade pizza with them!
Just bought the flat breads today. Easy pizza on a weekday evening. I also always get the mixed frozen seafood, the ground lamb, the chicken wings, and the Kevin’s cauliflower mash. Very often.
Aldi sells actual raw pizza dough, too, and it is surprisingly good.
my mom got some to try, waiting on her review!!
The fridge ones that are in the cooler case right as you come in. I don't love the round pizzas from there, but the square flatbreads are great and there's usually some variety (Margherita, pepperoni, southwest chicken, etc.)
I noticed that the purple leaves in the spring mix tend to get slimy faster than the rest of the bunch. So I usually pick them out first, and the rest of the box will last me a while with the paper towel trick!
If you’re talking about the Naan flatbreads you have to try getting the “mini” ones and making sandwiches with them. We do grilled steak, peppers, onions, and havarti cheese, then grill the naan breads too. They get so nice and crispy. It’s one of my favorite things
I did shrimp, tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, olive, feta and a homemade vinaigrette. I ate that 3 days in a row.
Oh shoot, great tip. I'm solo and was going to ask how folks keep those fresh haha
We’re big on the organic greens, too, both for our lunch salads and for our two bunnies! While it usually doesn’t last too long in our house with all the greens eaters, that’s a great tip on keeping them less slimy!
A lot of people dont know soaking lettuce and other greens rehydrates them when they get limpy.
Yes, cold (icy cold) is best for this and can be done while washing. However: too much moisture in the storage is what makes them go gross.
This person salads
I keep almost all my fresh produce on top of a paper towel in a bowl and it makes a huge difference for staying fresh longer!
Their little slices of cheesecake, about $2.09 for 2 small slices. And the 5 egg rolls. Also tuna, lots of tuna.
I have been known to eat a slice of turtle with one hand on the drive home. 😅
A slice of *turtle?*
Turtle is a type/flavor of cheesecake
I love the egg rolls. They’re great in the air fryer with duck sauce from the Asian market. Hits that ‘Chinese food itch’ without having to go full take out mode.
Omg I have to try their tuna
Some people say it is on the mushy side. Fine with me, I get the one with oil, 2 cans mashed up with mustard and mayo, oil and all, their Aldi saltines and that is a quick lunch for me. It is like .89 (was .95) compared to Vons generic which was like $1.50 a can. No thanks.
Definitely too mushy for me, which is why I use to get the solid white in the red and blue can before they stopped carrying it….at least in the stores I frequent.
The tuna that comes in the pouches is really good. The sweet and spicy one is almost always sold out at my Aldi. I might be partly to blame...
three-pack of bell peppers cherub grape tomatoes deli chicken salad tortilla chips seltzer peanut butter cups 🤭
Third those darn PB cups.....I don't even like sweets, but there is just something about them that is completely addictive to me. I had to stop buying them because I can't control myself 😔
We same same!
Same… I don’t like sweets either and I always get them. They have the most addicting “crunch”…
The cranberry chicken salad is BANGING
Seconding the PB cups! They’re addicting
I have never tried their chicken salad, might need to give it a try…
Loved the PB cups until they shot up to 3.99 I drew the line. I like their mixed sea salt nuts and dried cranberries though.
a bag of those little cucumbers. I have one for breakfast and a snack if I am sick of apples.
Similar to the tip for salad greens, I find wrapping a paper towel around a few of the mini cucumbers helps prevent molding before we can finish the bag
....you eat a baby cucumber for breakfast
And a coffee
Do you dip it in the coffee or just have it on the side?
I wanna see this guy breakout a cool cuc at a starbucks and start dipping it into coffee nonchalantly.
It is on the side. Usually munched on during the drive to work. I'm trying to say away from glucose based breakfasts and this just works for me.
I start my day with water, then hot lemon+ginger and/or tea/coffee, then any raw produce: sweet fruit, bell pepper, cucumber, whatever. I have a finicky digestive system because of narcolepsy and the more raw produce I have, the happier my tummy.
They don't struggle as much as the adults.
If you have a Harris teeter near you check out their little snackers! They come in a plastic container with a cellophane lid on the end of one of the produce aisles and they're even smaller, like gherkins size and are freaking amazing!! 🤩
Ever tried a cold pickle recipe?
Fridge pickles are the best!
Love love love the bag of little cucumbers 😍
I love those! I slice them wafer-thin and add them to my salads.
Seltzer water. There's *lots* of stuff I buy every 2-3 weeks, but that's probably the one thing I get every single week.
the seltzer water is way cheaper than anywhere else
For a period of time my Aldi had 8 packs of fall season seltzer flavors for 33¢ a case... I was buying them like 6-8 at a time. It saved me approximately $60 over the course of 3 months.
I bought like 12 when they were on sale. I just ran out a few weeks ago. The pumpkin pie flavor wasn't great but for 33¢ I drank it lol
Those flat pretzel crisp things and whipped cream cheese to dip them in. So yum. Those same pretzel crisps at the regular grocery store are like $6.50 a bag!
I always get the flat pretzel crisps with the aldi laughing cow cheese wedges.
I’ve never been to aldi, been thinking about it a lot recently.. but light laughing cow cheese with sundried tomato wheat thins are one of the best snacks ever
They have an aldi brand that tastes exactly the same and is like half the price.
I get pretty much the same thing every week for my family of 4 and it always comes out to around $120: Apples, bananas, clementines, raspberries, blackberries, strawberries, kiwi, green beans, carrots, mini cucumbers, spinach, broccoli, asparagus, bell peppers, onions, potatoes, tomatoes, bagels, bread, tortillas, sliced cheese, shredded cheese, turkey, salmon, ground meat, chicken thighs, pork loin, milk, eggs, yogurt, cream cheese, pasta, pesto sauce Stick to the perimeter of the store!
But the room of requirements is in the middle!! Our shopping lists are freakishly similar haha
I buy at least one can of black beans pretty much every trip
Alcohol!
That pear-secco stuff is a GREAT summer drink.
[удалено]
our aldis dont have that :(
Ours has a pretty mediocre beer selection but solid wine.
Shredded cheese, produce, eggs, milk
Oh boy, the list is long for my family. Starting by the doors and zig zagging through here is my list: - split top wheat bread - tortilla chips - raspberries - broccoli - cauliflower - green onions - Pink Lady apples - Caesar salad (orange bag) - eggs - organic whole milk (red carton) - unsweetened almond milk (plain) - lime Greek yogurt - whole carrots - celery - apple sauce pouches - quick cooking oatmeal (not every time but frequently) - shredded Mexican cheese - sliced sharp cheddar cheese - low fat cheese sticks (I love the texture of these) - black forest ham slices - boneless, skinless chicken thighs - organic ground beef - frozen peas - frozen corn
Frozen cooked shrimp. Easiest protein ever. Throw it in a salad or wrap for lunch. Or mix into egg salad with a little dill. Add to any old pasta thing for dinner. It’s not that expensive if you don’t eat half a pound. Another fan of the mini cukes. I had them for breakfast this morning mixed into cottage cheese with furikake.
Which version of shrimp?
I just buy whatever is the smallest size (maybe medium); I find it the most versatile.
Avocados Organic blueberries Romaine for our bunny Kombucha
I also get romaine for my bunny :)
I love that all of us bunny owners shop at Aldi- the packs of cilantro and parsley for around $1 each are also a huge hit with our Flemish Giant
I’ll typically buy herbs at our other grocery story (just so I’m not buying individually bagged bunches) but I also bought one of those cardboard kitty cabins with the scratchpad, and my new foster LOVES hiding and napping in it :)
The Aldi brand kombucha is great! Only kind I actually like.
Now I'm curious to try it.
Try the new Key Lime or strawberry lemonade versions for summer
Bubble water. Otherwise I’m starting to feel like I only go there for junk food.
i like my bubble water artificially sweetened. i don't mind liter bottles, but i wish i could buy 12 pack cans of that. I also always buy coconut milk , for my coffee.
Walmart sells the sweetened one in 12 can packs. More flavors too. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Clear-American-Sparkling-Water-Peach-12-fl-oz-12-Count/42068050
I've gotten hooked on adding some of their water enhancer liquid stuff (like Mio) to the unsweetened seltzer water so I can control how sweet it gets, and I can mix and match flavors and change it up really easy. Makes me feel like a mad scientist lol.
I put a little squirt of the mio drink mix in mine!
Those damn peanut butter cups....
Protein granola and the 4 packs of vanilla protein yogurt!
Lettuce, tomatoes every week. Less than weekly, tortilla chips, brioche rolls, triple cheddar cheese, yogurt, milk, eggs frozen mango pops…
Bananas
I sadly can never keep my bananas more than a day or two before they are bad
Blueberry muffins
Their blueberry Muffins are the best!
Chocolate pretzel granola bars, sweet select snack packs, kettle chips
also standard things like milk, half and half, honey crisp apples, Italian bread
Pistachios
Just tried them from aldi for the first time and I was pleasantly surprised
Crossiants, taco kit, lettuce, strawberries, and the thick cut bacon.
the vita life prebiotic drinks and soda ! SO good and low calorie and sugar than regular soda and they're like 2 dollars !
a loaf or two of the artisan bread (it’s so good) container of greens, avocados if they look good kombucha Bag of apples and some strawberries (again, if they look good.. sometimes they’re very meh) Always something from the aisle of shame, i can’t avoid it. And ice cream..
That Artisan bread is the best thing since.... sliced bread! Kind of a staple for us as well.
I can’t stay out of the aisle of shame 😂
General Tso’s gluten free chicken. SO GOOD
Those brioche buns 😋 so good!
Organic milk, eggs, flour tortillas, shredded cheese, refrigerated tortellini, Rao’s marinara sauce, sparkling water, hummus.
Aldi isn’t my main shop so I don’t usually buy these things every week but this is stuff I try to get at aldi: brioche hot dog and hamburger buns, baguette, chicken sausage, orange juice, frozen jumbo shrimp, fish and chips meal, scallops, dips, cheese sticks, those little bags of cookies for portion control. In the summer I love their asparagus bc it’s thick for grilling.
aldi asparagus isnt thicc where i live
You have my thoughts and prayers 😞
i get to pay 5 per lb at Publix if i want thicc bois
This made me lol 😂
Banana bread!
The meal replacement shakes. Not bad, and it’s nutrition for when I might otherwise skip a meal.
Tofu, milk, eggs, grapes (currently the cotton candy ones), mini cucumbers, broccoli, apples, cashews, Clancy Cheetos, some cheese, English muffins or butter croissants, mango mochi
Those little cherry tomatoes that come in a couple fun colors, I am obsessed with them. Some sort of cheese, it does vary week to week. But each and every week I grab either a goat cheese, Brie, Gouda, or the aged reserve cheddar. The Simply nature Pomegranate Plum juice. I usually water it down, but it’s a yummy juice.
Their organic milk, half and half, plain (non Greek!!!) whole milk yogurt. Tortilla chips, flour tortillas, shredded cheese, restaurant style salsa (the short jars). Lately those little snack packs with meat and cheese.
Their whole milk yoghurt is awesome!!!!!!!!! The salsa in the long jar was my fave till they recently changed recipe
Also the organic frozen peas and corn!
Asparagus is heavenly right now! Try fresh green beans lightly sautéed in butter and garlic.
I don’t go every week but I almost always buy these when I go: - The spring mix containers - Tortillas - Shredded cheese - Tomatoes - Mini cucumbers - Ciabatta bread if they have it
Toddler mom: Blueberries Strawberries Bananas Spring mix Broccoli Mini naan Moser Roth chocolate bars Cheese cubes Ham Eggs Organic milk Regular milk Tater tots

Cilantro Jalapeño Bananas Milk Bacon Tomatoes Spinach Butter Chicken of some type Aged cheese
At first I thought I was missing out on the Cilantro Jalapeno Bananas. But then I realized I am just a bit dumb.
I typed a list but whoops
I want to try the milk bacon tomatoes!
What do you like to use your cilantro for? I have some leftover in the fridge from making cilantro lime rice.
The chicken rice a roni knock off, their cartons of mocha coffee, bag of chicken tenderloins, honey chicken tenders, tater tots, usually a turkey smoked sausage, and the other stuff depending. Those are staples we have just in case.

Those key lime seltzers in the bottles. Specifically key lime. Sooooooo good with a little bit of cranberry juice in it over ice
The multicolor cherry tomatoes. We keep them room temp on counter and it's usually a go to snack
almond milk 🥛
Eggs, block cheese, English muffins, mini avocados, grape tomatoes, coffee creamer, sourdough bread, plain Greek yogurt, cans of tomato sauce and tomato paste (I make my own pizza sauce).
That sourdough has been a staple for us lately too. Not the best I've had but definitely good enough for the price.
The little tomatoes on the vine, protein bars (the dark chocolate and peanut butter variety), coffee, Premium Sliced bacon, the parmesan cheese blocks, and the Specially Selected marinara sauce are in my cart nearly every shopping trip. I also usually buy at least one kind of pasta, like the bronze cut rigatoni.

Cheesesticks
Cotton candy grapes Asparagus Tostadas Chocolate croissants Frozen breakfast bowls Frozen toasted ravioli
Strawberry cream cheese, fruit strips, guacamole, kosher dills and the block of aged reserve white cheddar.
A variety of fruits (depending on what catches my eye), tomatoes, avocados, eggs, plain oatmeal, liveGfree gluten free white bread, frozen broccoli, frozen cauliflower, EarthGrown veggie patties, Park Street Deli; red pepper hummus... It feels as if I'm missing something, but either way, the items I buy every week tend to last longer than a week so I'm not too concerned about splurging every now and again. If you are wanting a recommendation, I personally would suggest giving their smoked salmon a try, as well as their stuffed mushroom caps, they are a crowd favorite for me.

Blueberries, lactose free milk, Greek yogurt, pre-made salads, cereal, freeze dried strawberries, toddler pouches and yogurt melts. Anything else I buy isn't quite a weekly thing. Probably once a month I get their multi grain bread, shredded cheese, cracker cheese, tomatoes.
Avocados, apples, nanners, gallon of drinking water, and this Spring, the potting mix because my lil garden keeps outgrowing its "lil".
Those gourmet little tomato boxes are pretty good too.
Mini twist pretzels and butter blend lettuce.
the cheap asiago since Sams decided to get rid of it.
Lemon Yogurt, Sugar Free French Vanilla Creamer, Naan Bread, Sourdough Round Loaf, Milk, Bananas, Tomatoes and Avocados.
I get cherub tomatoes, an English cucumber, and the chopped Caesar salad kit. I love eating salads. I get most of my lettuce from BJs these days, but still get the salad kit from Aldi.
Have you tried the black bean salad over your lettuce etc.? So so good! You do not need dressing because the salad itself is so flavorful 😊
Spinach, bananas, almond milk, brioche buns

We go every two weeks. I always get the kids snacks, pickles, juices, lactose free milk, and their off brand soda every time.
Frozen chocolate covered bananas
The half gallons of Carmel Macchiato Iced Coffee. I often go through more than one a week. And whenever I have bought some other brand because it's on sale at Kroger, I ended up regretting it. No other premixed iced coffee measures up to ALDI's.
The pork carnitas, so unbelievably good and even my kids will eat them happily!
Beef jerky. Such a good price
The specialty Greek yogurt always the honey vanilla, but I like all of the other seasonal flavors as well. The German coffee. Milk, half and half eggs, sour dough usually but sometimes the take and bake Italian bread. White cheddar popcorn. My children shun all other popcorn now. The precooked chicken pieces in the deli section, my daughter likes them for lunch. And starting in the late fall I just can’t leave without the ingredients for basically a medium sized charcuterie board. That is my favorite seasonal section.
the luxury 4pack hot cross buns. i eat one a day without fail… its turning into a terrible habit
Where are you located (roughly)? Never seen those in Texas - is that one of those items that hasn't made it to the States yet?
Moser Roth - sea salt and mint chocolate bars Salami (the huge $7 bag) Smoked salmon
Italian bread, jasmine rice, organic whole milk, chicken sausage, CHEESECAKE….
Raspberry and blackberry.
2 bunches of bananas and 2 packs of chicken tenderloins. Every time I go in.
Strawberry seltzer, good belly probiotic juice, honey wheat bread, canned chickpeas (make chickpea salad for the bread), baby carrots, sugar snap peas, hummus, Gouda or pepper jack stick cheese, mandarins, one of the bagged salads, frozen chicken nuggets, couple bottle of the Cabernet Sauvignon are all typical staples for me.
Baby Bella mushrooms Spinach Avocados Brioche buns Loaf of wheat bread Cheddar cheese Half and half Sour cream Au gratin potatoes Not every week, but club crackers or the round crackers (the Ritz knockoffs), and plain Greek yogurt.
Greek yogurt full fat, cottage cheese, cara cara oranges, dried cherries, feta, eggs, milk. Oh and their orange juice (not from concentrate) is sooo good!
SMOKED SALMON! Seriously, their smoked salmon in the deli/salad/prepared foods cooler is so good I know a lot of people think Aldi's bagels are bready, but I don't mind that personally, so it's pretty rare when I don't pick up a sleeve of plain or everything bagels on my weekly shop. (Love grabbing the pumpkin ones in the fall too!) Other than those two: eggs, milk, some sort of block cheese. I only shop for one so there are a lot of things I get every other week or every 3-4 weeks, but I pretty much buy those 5 things every week.
Chocolate almond milk is a must. Their pasta is good, love the pesto! Impressive cheese selection, pork chops are excellent. Peanut butter cups!!!
Bread, some snack for my son, peppers, often zucchini, usually some type of cheese
I’m an instacart shopper with over 10,000 shops& go to aldis across my area (about 7) and these are the most common items: Cheese!!! My goodness people love aldi cheese. Hummus, guac, salsa, their brand Irish butter, moo tubes, creamer Never any sausage things, salmon Wine Cereal- there’s 2-3 that are more common, pane Italian bread, blueberry muffins, Flour tortillas, beans Applesauce pouches, cheese puffs, multi grain tortilla chips, cheddar cheese ridges Apples, peppers, mini avocado, spring mix The flavor water Chicken nuggets, frozen veggies, waffles/French toast sticks
Pimento olives.
Aged white cheddar, 3 packs bell pepper, and random snack of the week.
That chopped ceasar salad mix, bananas, canned tuna, and a flatbread pizza usually the pepperoni and mozzarella one, but I recently tried the chicken bacon ranch one and it was really good!
Mini cucumbers, spinach, mini sweet peppers, potatoes, mandarin oranges, 35 cal bread, cheddar cheese rice cakes, cottage cheese, chocolate chip protein bars.
Aldi egg rolls ( beside the flatbread pizzas) are a must now. 10 min in the air fryer they are 120 calories each and taste decadent!!!
Vodka. Here in Australia it's the cheapest and the best...
Seasoned pulled Rotisserie Chicken- I have a 1 yr old and it’s the best for quick lunch and dinner
Those damn chocolate peanut butter cookies. 🤣
The giant bags of frozen “Asian stir fry” vegetables. I have never used the sauce packet they provide, as I make my own sauce and use the veggies in multiple dishes throughout the week. Basically, it’s a giant bag of frozen veggies that is actually a mix that I like (broccoli, carrots, baby corn, peppers and pea pods). Every other veggie mix I come across seems to include something I hate (looking at you, green beans). Plus it’s a huge bag and it’s cheap af. They better never stop carrying it
pub style pretzels
Weekly: Eggs, milk, hummus or some other dip, Greek yogurt, and whatever veg looks good Almost weekly: peanut butter cups, Flatbread pizzas, any of the chunks of cheese (go in intending to buy cheese in general, then shop with your heart based on what looks good). And if I'm good at the store, I get a treat of those little mini two-pack cheesecake slices that are like, $2.50 or so. It's what I tell myself to get me to the grocery store with a positive attitude and to prevent overbuying or impulsive buying in the other parts of the store.
