If you're lucky enough to live near an ALDI, we don't have to tell you why the supermarket chain has a cult following. ALDI's strong fanbase probably has something to do with the fact that the best ALDI products are high-quality takes on everyday essentials. And if you don't have an ALDI in your town, we have some good news: Earlier this year, the company announced that it's planning to open 800 new stores by the end of 2028. It's been called it the "fastest growing grocery chain in the country."

In fact, there are multiple incredible fan accounts on Instagram solely dedicated to what's on the shelves—@aldi.guru, @ohheyaldi, @aldi.mademedoit, @aldisbuys, and @aisleofshame, to name a few of our faves. (Be sure to give these ALDI-influencers a follow if you want to see the latest products in real time!) Here, we've rounded up the ALDI items that shoppers won't leave the store without, from healthy dinner ingredients to snacks and desserts.

Of course, as all ALDI shoppers know, their product offerings are always changing. Certain items may be seasonal, limited edition, or simply out of stock. Full disclaimer: If you see something you want desperately, you might want to check the website or check the weekly ads before heading to your local store to make sure it's there!

Orange Mimosa

Why fuss with separate bottles of champagne and OJ when this baby is ready to go? Not to mention, the whole bottle is probably cheaper than just one mimosa at a nice restaurant. That might be why people get very excited when this makes an appearance on shelves.

ALDI polls customers to find out what some of their favorite buys are, and Happy Farms String Cheese made the 2023 list. The draw of this item is a no-brainer: It's a cheap, quick, and easy snack that doesn't mean sacrificing healthy eating. It's a lunch box staple, too.

Côtes de Provence Rosé

Fancy for the wallet-friendly price of $8, it's no wonder that the Côtes de Provence Rosé is a favorite. With strawberry and white fruit aromas and a touch of spice, this pink wine is perfect for springtime and its price makes it possible to actually rosé all day...which ALDI fans do, so much so that Côtes de Provence sold out in 2017 and 2018 and the supermarket had to start ordering bigger inventories.

StoneMill Who Needs the Bagel? Seasoning

Aldi's Buys

"We see you, Trader Joe's," is what we imagine ALDI said when they unveiled their own everything bagel seasoning. TJ's take was an instant smash, so ALDI naturally wanted in on the garlicky, oniony goodness. Now, you don't have to make two shopping stops to get the everything bagel seasoning you need to make literally *everything* taste better.

Dark Chocolate Coated Frozen Bananas

Lobster Roll Dip

Lobster rolls are straight-up dreamy, but they're also straight-up expensive. For about a fourth of the price of a lobster roll sandwich (or less, depending on where you get your lobster rolls), you can score a 12-ounce tub of creamy lobster roll dip. All the flavors of the beloved sandwich are suddenly spreadable, and people are hooked.

Casa Mamita Mexican-Style Street Corn-Flavored Big Dipper Corn Chips

The name of this item is a mouthful, but we're more interested in the mouthful that is one or three of these chips piled high with guacamole. A good corn chip is already a win, but then ALDI's Casa Mamita went and dusted them with smoky spice flavor.

Emporium Selection Cheeses

The Amazing Aldi

Shoppers can't get enough of Emporium Selection cheeses, which we credit to the never-ending varieties introduced and revived each season. Past insane flavors include cheddar rubbed with espresso and lavender or infused with hatch chilies, and Wensleydale cheese with gin and rhubarb or raspberries and white chocolate.

Tuscan Garden Ranch

Ranch dressing has its own cult to begin with, and enthusiasts find new things to cover with the stuff every day. Tuscan Garden offers the creamy, tangy dressing in gotta-have flavors like Guacamole, Spicy, and Salsa, any of which will make even the most tried-and-true meal a little more exciting.
