I struggled a bit with what to name this post. Healthiest items to buy at Aldi? Depends upon what diet you follow. Best deals at Aldi? Not necessarily, you might be able to find better deals at your regular grocery store. So, I settled on 'best items to buy at Aldi' and to me that is based on healthier options and items that are on average a great price when you don't want to hunt for a sale and deal with coupons.
When I first shopped Aldi, it was all foreign to me. Just figuring out how the store works was so different from a normal grocery store. You need a quarter to use the grocery carts. You bring your own bags, buy your bags or use an empty box from the shelves to corral your groceries. You pack your own groceries into said bags or boxes. And the store does not offer everything you may need. (I always shop Aldi and at least one other store.)
If you have never been, please allow yourself to go more than once. On your first trip, you may not see all of the hidden gems that Aldi offers. It has taken me multiple trips to really understand the best things that I think Aldi offers. To make it a little easier on you (whether you have never been or just want new ideas on what to buy there), I've listed out the best items to buy at Aldi.
