We have had an ALDI grocery store for at least a couple of years now. I have several friends who love it and have recommended different products to me. They have also told me about the great deals you can find there on lots of healthy products. It was time to go on a hunt for my ALDI Healthy Favorites.
I finally decided to make a visit there over the weekend. The weekend may not have been the best time to do this. Although, it was either go on the weekend or go with an unpredictable three year old.

I knew before going that I would need to bring my own bags and that I would need a quarter for a grocery cart. In case you have never been, you do get the quarter back once you return the cart. These are a couple of things they do differently to keep prices lower.
Check the ALDI Ad before you go!
I would highly recommend that you check out the flyer before you go in. You can check it out on their website. I did not do this and would have been way more prepared if I had. This is definitely not necessary. This is advice coming from a girl who writes a shopping list and then rewrites it in the order of the store. I know I’m not the only one who does this!
As you can see from this flyer, they have some amazing deals on select meat and produce! These items were a little picked over by Sunday afternoon when we were there. I would recommend going on a weekday if at all possible.
ALDI Healthy Favorites for Families
Here are some of the items I thought were great deals and some of our favorite products. There were so many great buys for busy families who try to eat healthy!
Popcorn
Popcorn is one of our favorite healthy snacks! I am always looking for different varieties and great deals since we go through so many bags. I thought this was a great price at $1.99.
Applesauce Pouches
I like to do our own pouches when possible, but store bought ones are very convenient and make it easy to have a healthy snack on hand. They are also a staple for school lunches.
These looked like a very healthy choice and $1.89 is a great price. I noticed that they also had organic baby and toddler pouches for 79 cents each. That is also a great price. We used to buy these a lot when the kids were smaller.
Organic Salad Mixes
This one would probably get me back into the store! I regularly buy a similar product at our local grocery store for $3.99. This is a great price at $1.99.
Whole Wheat Sandwich Thins
Who doesn’t love sandwich thins? These are so great for school and work lunches and even breakfast sandwiches. I don’t think you can get much better than this $1.69 price.
Organic Olive Oil
I usually like to only buy olive oil that is bottled in Italy but I found this organic variety at ALDI. I thought I would give it a try for such a great price of $3.99.
ALDI Produce Picks of the Week
This is one of the reasons I feel like I need to check the flyer before heading to the store. You can find some great deals and possibly create your menu plan around some of them. This was a great find for us since we eat a lot of mushrooms. I couldn’t believe the price was only 69 cents!
Great deals on ALDI Healthy Favorites to feed your busy family!
In conclusion, I will definitely be shopping at ALDI now to feed my family. We try to eat healthy. I know that is different for everyone. For me, eating healthy means limiting sugar and processed foods, including lots of fruits and veggies in our diet, and trying to choose whole grain products.
I hope you enjoyed reading about our Favorite Finds at ALDI! I have to admit I was a little overwhelmed since I was a newbie shopper there. I kind of relate it to shopping at Trader Joe’s. You have to know what certain items you want to pick up and know that you can’t shop for everything on your list there.
Are you an ALDI’s fan? What are your favorite products to pick up there? I would love to hear about it!

I love Aldis! ❤️ It has changed our grocery shopping so much & has made it cheaper! My kids love those applesauce pouches, the organic gummies, organic teddy bear crackers (just to name a few). It’s where I do most of my shopping & my list is huge and of course you write a list in the order of how the store is laid out. ?
Sounds like I definitely need to go back! I missed the gummies and teddy bear crackers!
those are great prices! I hear great things about ALDI here in the blog world, there is one here i think its like 30 or 40 mins away. if i am every out that way i want to check it out!
You should definitely check it out!
Wow! Those are some great deals. Would be nice if we had this store in our town
I know they have been opening new stores. Maybe you’ll get one near you soon!
Yay!!! Love seeing people take the plunge into Aldi!!! It’s such an amazing store and I do the same thing with making my lists lol. I’ll have to try that popcorn you recommended!
Thanks Michelle! Glad I am not the only one who does that! 🙂
I wish we had Aldis here, they look so awesome! That is a fantastic salad price.
I thought so too! Maybe it will encourage me to eat more salads!
I love Aldi, not just for the prices but for the quality as well. They also have great wine.
Great to know! I will definitely pick up some wine the next time I am there!
I have been shopping at Aldi ever since I was a kid and accompanied my mom on her grocery trips. Now many years later I still go there, it’s simply a great store. I love the quality and the fair prices.
So glad I found it! I’m excited to go back!
The pouches from here are SO cheap, especially compared to other organic ones in the grocery store or Target! I’m so glad you’re loving Aldi!
I was very impressed with their selection of pouches. Wish I had gone there when my kids were smaller and went through way more pouches!
Love this post! There is an ALDI that is supposed to open up right down the street from me. Hopefully it opens soon so I can get in on all of the ALDI goodness!
That is awesome! I would love for our store to be a little closer!
yess..greens, spices, olive oil, and sometimes i get good deal on avocados too.
Thanks for the tips! I’ll check those out next time I go!
We had an Aldi open at the front of our neighborhood (read- I can bike there!!) and we love it. The produce is always great and their nuts/trail mix is a better price than anywhere else. Plus, I found a great wine for less than $5!
I would love to hear which wine! I am hoping to get some the next time I go. That would be amazing to be able to bike there!
My issue with Aldi is that they don’t take coupons and don’t have any of the brands that I would eat
I didn’t even realize that. It is probably because they carry mostly their own brands. That is why it is always good to shop around for the best deals!
I can’t believe how good some of those deals are! I wish we had one here, but we don’t. Fingers crossed maybe sometime there will be one!
Yes, they seem to be opening up new stores all the time. Hopefully they will open one in your area!
I love Aldi!!! We don’t have one near us but whenever I visit my family we always go in and find they best stuff. I’m definitely going to grab some popcorn!
That is awesome Marissa! You should definitely try to popcorn!
All I can say is, not to sleep on Aldi’s! lol. They have definitely “come up” from how they started out years ago
I love aldi! It has been become the perfect place to shop and saved me tons!
We have one near by, but I’ve never been in it.I think you convinced me to check it out with .79 avocados, though!
we don’t have Aldi here in Northern Ireland but when I went interrailing around europe many moons ago (too many moons ago) that’s the only place we would buy groceries and then go for picnics :p I haven’t eaten Nutella since lol I wish we did have it though because you can really get some good deals. We have Lidl so it isn’t so bad and easy enough to shop on a budget
I’ve been hearing about Aldi’s EVERYWHERE! I’m so jealous that there’s none here!
I am a HUGE Aldi fan. I love their “simply nature” line and the fact that they offer organic produce at an affordable price. Definitely one of my favorite places to shop. Great post!
We LOVE Aldi at our house. So cheap, but very good quality. We are huge fans. Other things to buy there: frozen chicken breast (I used to think frozen chicken was weird to buy but their’s is good), Whey protein (chocolate), and cashews.
WHOA I had no idea this is what Aldi’s is like…there’s one literally up the road from my house. I’m seriously going to go tomorrow and test it out!
Love Aldi! I converted a few months ago, and it has started saving me a lot of money! They have so many great snack options for kids that are fairly healthy! You Can’t beat their prices on most produce, too!
I’ve been in Aldi once and liked it. I like that you bring your own bags, so much better for the environment.
love shopping at aldis we go there once a month at least. Great buys and great products for all

The Aldi’s near me actually isn’t that convenient but they are good for nonperishables, the produce at my location is always hit or miss for quality. Actually some of my favorite finds have been the european imports (the store started in germany) which have included some great mustards and jams, cheap packaged gnocchi and spatzle, high quality chocolate bars and some tasty biscuit/cookies. I’ll definitely look for that organic olive oil on my next trip, that’s a fantastic bargain!
