If you’re anything like us, then you head to Aldi every time a holiday is coming up or a season is changing, to see what fun limited-time groceries, snacks, and home items they have in stock. But while Aldi is one of our favorite places to shop for seasonal goods, the real magic of Aldi is that they carry affordable staple groceries all year round. In fact, some of these seemingly basic items are so popular, they’ve gained a cult following among Aldi fans on Reddit and social media.
Some Aldi products can be a bit hit or miss, but these grocery staples are verified fan favorites. We’re talking breads, snacks, sweets, pantry goods, quick breakfasts, and more that make your life in the kitchen run smoothly while also taking it easy on your budget. With the price of groceries being so high these days, it’s nice to know that you can always grab these staple items for less at Aldi.
Take a look at the cult favorite Aldi staples below, and get ready to fill your fridge and cupboards.
Breakfast Best Pre-Cooked Sausage Patties
With a bag of these frozen pre-cooked sausage patties in your freezer, you can skip the drive-through and make easy breakfast sandwiches at home.
Breakfast Best Frozen French Toast Sticks
Beloved by kids and adults alike, Aldi’s Breakfast Best French toast sticks come in Original or Double Cinnamon varieties. Even better? They go from frozen to ready-to-eat in just 75 seconds, so they’re perfect for busy mornings. Serve with warm syrup for dunking.
Season’s Choice Hash Brown Patties
If you’ve ever tried making hash brown patties from scratch, then you know these frozen ones from Aldi will save you tons of work. Skip the shredding and squeezing and frying, and pop a few of these Season’s Choice Hash Brown Patties in the oven to crisp up for breakfast while you sip your coffee.
Season’s Choice Riced Cauliflower
Whether you’re eating low carb, or just trying to fit more veggies into you meals, Aldi’s Season’s Choice frozen riced cauliflower in plain or garlic flavor makes it easy. We like to mix it with regular rice or quinoa, but it’s delicious stir-fried on its own or served simply with butter and perhaps a topping of fresh chopped herbs.
Bake Shop Mini or Large Croissants
Aldi’s Bake Shop brand offers up croissants in two sizes. The mini croissants are a yummy snack and delicious with coffee, tea, or cocoa, while the large croissants can be used to make epic sandwiches.
L’oven Fresh Keto Friendly Wheat or White Bread
If you don’t shop regularly at Aldi, you might be surprised to hear that they have a pretty good selection of items for special dietary needs. This keto-friendly bread, which comes in wheat or white and boasts 5 grams of protein, 9 grams of fiber, and 0 net carbs, is just one example.
L’oven Fresh Hawaiian Sweet Rolls
We all know what these are a dupe for! These sweet Hawaiian rolls at Aldi are more affordable than their name-brand counterpart, but are just as delicious as slider rolls, mini sandwich buns, or a side dish to your favorite meals.
L’oven Fresh Pains au Chocolate
Pastry lovers have a hard time passing up these Pains au Chocolate (chocolate-stuffed croissant-style bread) at Aldi. They’re a lot cheaper than what you’d find at a bakery, and they freeze well, so you can pop one out of the freezer and heat it up whenever the craving strikes.
Simply Nature Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Olive oil is expensive these days, and it’s also hard to know which products are actually high quality. Aldi makes the choice simple with their affordable organic extra virgin olive oil.
Specially Selected Pure Maple Syrup
Fake maple syrup can’t compare to the real stuff. This sweet condiment makes any breakfast better, and it’s a delicious addition to lattes, salad dressings, and even barbecue sauce.
Simply Nature Organic Chicken or Beef Bone Broth
We don’t always have time to make homemade stock, so keeping a carton or two of Aldi’s organic chicken or beef bone broth in the pantry helps us make our favorite meals faster.
Stonemill Garlic Powder
Aldi’s affordable selection of spices, like their garlic powder, make it easy for you to keep your seasoning cupboard full for all of your favorite recipes. We also like that they don’t come in huge containers, so if there are any you don’t use often, they’re less likely to lose their flavor before you can finish the bottle.
Specially Selected Slow Cooked Soups
If you need a quick lunch or comforting dinner for one, Aldi’s slow cooked soups are a cozy option. Some shoppers swear that these are dupes for Panera’s soups. The flavors include classic, simple favorites like Tomato & Sweet Basil, Baked Potato with Bacon, and Broccoli & Cheddar.
Choceur Dark Chocolate or Dark Chocolate Almond Bar
Good chocolate can be expensive, but we’re huge fans of Aldi’s Choceur line. These Dark Chocolate and Dark Chocolate Almond bars taste gourmet for less, and you can snack on them or chop them up to use while baking, too.
Simply Nature Strawberry or Wildberry Fruit Strips
Aldi is a great place to stock up on affordable school lunch snacks. We love their version of fruit leather, these Simply Nature fruit strips that come in a 21-piece value pack.
