I’ve shopped at Aldi almost every week for 5 years. Here are 15 things I keep coming back for.

Café Bustelo’s espresso ground coffee makes my mornings better.

I drink two espresso shots with honey, a dash of vanilla extract, and oat milk every morning, and I always rely on Café Bustelo to make the best at-home coffee.

These green-pea crisps are both crunchy and flavorful.

If you’re craving something a little saltier with a bit more of a crunch than popcorn, grab a bag of these green-pea crisps.

They’re baked instead of fried, gluten-free, and available in flavors like sea salt and Caesar.

Aldi sells an incredible sourdough loaf.

Even though I love cooking and baking, I never hopped on the sourdough trend of March 2020.

I did, however, discover that Aldi has a phenomenal sourdough loaf. 

I try to pick up bananas and other produce that Aldi has on sale.

When I’m at Aldi, I always pick up bananas and basically any other fruit or vegetable that’s on sale.

The chain’s produce selection may not be as extensive as that of other stores, but I’ve never been disappointed with the quality and taste, even when it comes to discounted items. 

I always snag a bottle of VitaLife’s kombucha.

I always pick up a bottle of kombucha (a fermented tea drink) to sip on while I unload groceries.

The chain has some popular name brands available, but I love Aldi’s alternative, VitaLife, in the flavor Berry Nirvana. 

Mixed greens are a versatile staple that I use in many different meals.

Aldi’s organic mixed greens are a way better price than options I’ve found at other stores, and I easily go through a bin a week.

These mixed greens are a staple that I use to make side salads with dinner, sauté into eggs, or even blend in smoothies.

Friendly Farms’ almond milk is both high quality and affordable.

I love using almond milk for my coffee in the mornings, and this option from Aldi offers great quality for a low price.

You can also snag flavors like vanilla and chocolate.

These free-range eggs make for an easy breakfast.

When you’re someone who eats eggs almost every day, I think you can totally taste the difference in the free-range alternative.

Goldhen’s option makes for a delicious and affordable addition to my weekly haul.

This Never Any! chicken is free of added antibiotics and hormones.

I frequently eat chicken for dinner, and I really like using this brand from Aldi.

It’s free of added antibiotics and hormones, and I love buying the thinly sliced breasts since each piece cooks so quickly.

I often swap regular pasta for LiveGFree’s alternative made with brown rice and quinoa.

I’m not gluten-free, but I often opt for products with wholesome ingredients, like this alternative to regular pasta made with brown rice and quinoa.

Aldi sells an impressive range of spices at a great price.

Aldi’s spices are available at such great prices, so I always stock up when I’m out.

If you are moving to a new apartment or home and building your spice collection, look here first to keep from breaking the bank.

Earthly Grains’ quinoa blends come in three delicious flavors.

These quinoa-based grain blends are so good and they’re such an easy side dish to make for any lunch or dinner.

I love all three of the flavors — garlic and basil, roasted red pepper and basil, and rosemary and olive oil.

I regularly use Friendly Farms’ Greek yogurt.

I use so much Greek yogurt as a replacement for sour cream in tacos, a base for cereal and fruit, or a thickening agent for smoothies.

Friendly Farms’ option comes in plain and vanilla flavors.
