Best kettle cooked potato chip on the market, less than $2. Their peanut butter is better than Jif, Skippy, or Peter Pan, and it’s only about $3. Mayo is exactly the same as Hellman’s, at less than $4. Great French Bread Pizzas for $3, and you don’t have to add more cheese and pepperoni when you get home.
Lots of great chocolates, cheese, snacks, etc. I know someone who has a charcuterie catering biz, and she sources EVERYTHING at Aldi, including the serving trays and utensils.
There’s the occasional dud, but almost everything is first rate, and much cheaper.
Yeah I get almost everything from Aldi because the quality is consistently comparable to name-brand while being significantly cheaper. Its also nice that the stores are so small so you can focus more on shopping and less on getting through the store itself
There’s a few items where I do prefer from other stores (particularly meats and fresh fruits/veggies as the Aldi ones tend to go off faster and are lower quality) but generally I’ll hit Aldi, then my local grocery store for the last couple of items from my list, thereby keeping me well-within my grocery budget and getting the best of both worlds. Plus I can usually get it all done within about an hour thanks to only needing to hit a couple of isles in the big grocery store
The Kettle-cooked chips come in plain, BBQ, and jalapeno, and all three are exceptional.
The French bread pizzas are in the frozen section, 2 to a package. I always keep a couple on the freezer for a quick meal or snack if I get home late at night after work. I give them about 60 seconds in the microwave to thaw them out, then a few minutes on the air fryer to melt everything, cook the pepps, and crisp us the crust. Perfect pizza, and its only about $3.
For me I found they struggle to cook the very center in the microwave, so I’ll usually give them 60 seconds to thaw, cut it in half then another 60 seconds (or was it 30?) to finish cooking. Only problem is my kids very consistently try to steal them from me if I dare to eat them when they’re around so I’m quickly better off just making something else
I just use the microwave to thaw it, and then it’s going to spend some time in the air fryer, so it doesn’t have to be hot in the middle, or even warm. It will get to the proper temp on the air fryer.
For me, the most amazing part is that I don’t have to add extra cheese and toppings, like I always had to with Stouffer’s, it’s got plenty. First rate.

Tell me about these french bread pizzas and kettle chips.
I frequent aldi for essentials, but havent had these, but can look out for them. I frequently get their big thin crust pizzas.

Use the micro-bake instructions on the package.
You won’t go back.
Thank you, I’ll look for them next time I’m there!
