Step foot into Aldi without a list (or at least a loose game plan), and you’re setting yourself up to come home with three bars of chocolate, a bag of exotic new grapes and exactly zero of the things you actually needed. So, we rounded up the always-favorite, always-available items you should stock up on the next time you make a trip to the store. Here, the 21 best things to buy at Aldi in 2021.
The 21 Best Things to Buy at Aldi in 2021
1. L’oven Fresh Hawaiian Sweet Rolls
If you ask us, people should be talk about Hawaiian rolls more often. They’re pillowy soft with just the right amount of sweetness, and they make excellent sliders.
2. Specially Selected 100-percent Pure Maple Syrup
You’d be hard-pressed to find pure maple syrup (also known as “the good stuff”) for this price anywhere else.
3. Friendly Farms Organic Unsweetened Almondmilk
Our morning coffee wouldn’t be complete without a generous splash…or two.
Buy it ($2.39)
4. Mama Cozzi’s Take & Bake Deli Pizza
It’s just as easy as ordering takeout, without the hassle of venturing out to pick up a pie.
5. Savoritz Parmesan Crisps
Add these to your next fancy cheese board and prepare for the oohs and ahhs.
6. Happy Farms String Cheese
Sudden snack cravings don’t stand a chance against string cheese. It’s just a fact.
7. Stonemill Everything Bagel Seasoning
The crunchy-salty-savory topping is so tasty, we’ll put it on just about, well, everything.
8. Clancy’s Kettle Chips (original Or Mesquite Barbeque)
What can we say? They’re crispy kettle-style potato chips, and they’re irresistible.
9. Benton’s Cookies (caramel Coconut Fudge Or Peanut Butter Filled)
Psst: This is how you can get your cookie fix when it’s not Girl Scout season.
10. Earth Grown Veggie Burgers
We like to keep a box of these meatless burgers on hand for emergency lazy dinners (and we’re not even vegetarian).
11. Winking Owl Wine Moscato
At less than $3 a bottle, you can’t get a better deal.
12. Specially Selected Brioche Buns
They’re bakery-fresh without a special trip to the expensive bakery.
13. Emporium Selection Cheese Crumbles (feta Or Blue Cheese)
Bored of your nightly salad? Sprinkle on a handful of cheese crumbles and you’ll be inspired again.
14. Appleton Farms Center Cut Bacon
Another item we always keep in our freezer? A pound of bacon, for impromptu brunches and breakfast for dinner.
15. Fremont Fish Market Medium Ez Peel Raw Shrimp
Shrimp are an easy, quick-cooking source of protein, but we never feel like standing over the sink for an hour to peel them. (And now we don’t have to.)
16. Simply Nature Organic Hummus (classic, Garlic Or Red Pepper)
We’ll be buying one of each flavor, plus three bags of baby carrots for dipping.
17. Park Street Deli Fresh Guacamole (chunky, Sweet & Spicy Or Southwest)
It tastes just as good as homemade, without all of the chopping and mashing.
18. Livegfree Multi-seed Crackers (sea Salt Or Rosemary & Olive Oil)
These will hit that “I need something salty and crunchy” spot quite nicely.
19. Simply Nature Cauliflower Crackers (sea Salt Or Cheddar)
Pack a bag in your kid’s lunchbox and see if they even notice the secret veggies. (Spoiler: They won’t.)
20. Simply Nature Organic Tortilla Chips (blue Corn Or Multigrain)
You’ll need something to dip into that guacamole you just added to your cart.
21. Mama Cozzi’s Pizza Kitchen 12-inch Cheese Cauliflower Crust Deli Pizza
Finally, a cauliflower crust pizza that turns out delicious every single time.
