We don’t know how it happens, but it seems like no matter how many snacks we buy for the kids at the beginning of the week, they’re all gone by Wednesday. How is it possible for such small humans to eat so much food? Clearly, growing up is tough work, so back to the store we head for more lunch box and after school snacks. Since all of those snacks can get pricey, there’s only one place we turn to when it’s time to stock up: Aldi.
Aldi’s snacks for kids come in a wide variety of sweet and savory options, many of which ditch the preservatives and sugar but still taste great. They have affordable spins on classic favorites, school-friendly snacks made in nut-free facilities, and plenty of special treats. We keep the pantry loaded with these budget-friendly snacks for kids, and we always keep a selection stashed in the car so the kids can nibble on something on the way to and from playdates and after school activities.
Ahead, we’ve curated a list of the best-of-the-best Aldi snacks for kids that you should pick up during your next shopping trip. The kids will be so excited to see your yummy haul, they might even help you bring the groceries in.
Simply Nature White Cheddar Puffs
These organic, gluten-free white cheddar puffs have zero added sugars and make for a great mid-day snack.
Clancy’s Peanut Butter-Filled Pretzel Pieces
You can never go wrong with salty peanut butter bites. A little bit of protein, a little bit of crunch — these peanut butter filled pretzel bites are a staple ’round these parts.
Choceur Superberries Blueberry Acai
Kids won’t be able to resist these rich dark chocolate-covered blueberry and açaí fruit treats.
Benton’s Chocolate Chip Cookie Thins
These aren’t your average store-bought chocolate chip cookies; they’re made with real chocolate and no corn syrup, and have an irresistible crispy texture. Plus, they’re peanut allergy friendly.
Southern Grove Dried Premium Mango
These dried mangoes are like nature’s answer to fruit snacks. They’re chewy, sweet, and fruity, and kids love to gnaw on them.
Simply Nature Organic Fruit Snacks
The kids will love the animal-shaped fruit snacks found in each of the 12 pouches in this box. Each serving also includes 100% of your child’s daily dose of Vitamin C.
Simply Nature Sweet Potato Chips
The sweet, earthy flavor of these potato chips make them a family favorite, and they’re one of the tastiest ways to get your kids to eat their vegetables.
Benton’s Mini Alphabet Cookie Snack Packs
Made in a nut-free facility, these school-friendly Mini Alphabet Cookies are high-fructose corn syrup free, and only contain 6 grams of sugar per pouch.
Simply Nature Freeze Dried Fuji Apple
Freeze dried apples cost a fortune at other stores, so we always stock up on this kid-friendly snack at Aldi.
Happy Farms String Cheese
If you have a hard time getting your kids to eat enough protein, then you need to add string cheese to your snack line-up. Honestly, we’ve been known to steal a stick or two from the snack drawer when we’re in need of a protein pick-me-up, too.
Park Street Deli Sweet Snack Selects
Perfect for lunches or after school, these Sweet Snack Selects packs contain bites of Monterey Jack Cheese, and a trail mix featuring dried cranberries, banana chips, and dark chocolate.
Savoritz Cheese Dip and Cracker Sticks
No need to buy crackers and cheese dip. This handy pack of snacks comes with breadsticks in one compartment, and cheese spread in the other.
Simply Nature Strawberry Fruit Strips
Aldi’s answer to fruit leather are these Simply Nature Strawberry Fruit Strips. They come in a variety of flavors, and are perfectly packable for lunch boxes.
Clancy’s Veggie Straws
Veggie straws are always a hit, and the Clancy’s brand is more affordable than the name brand kind. But they’re just as crispy, salty, and craveable.
Savoritz Turtle Crackers Extra Cheddar
There’s something about these Savoritz Turtle Crackers that makes them even better than the other cheese-flavored undersea creature cracker snack we can think of. They’re extra crispy and have a deep cheddar flavor.
Savoritz Mini Peanut Butter Sandwich Crackers
We don’t need to tell you that kids love these mini crackers filled with peanut butter. You can keep them at home if your kid goes to a nut-free school, because they’re a delicious after-school snack that even packs in a little protein.
