12 Things You Didn’t Know about ALDI

What to Know about ALDI

Thank you to ALDI for sponsoring this post!

As you know, I’m an ALDI Super Fan. I’m not only a loyal shopper, but also a member of the ALDI Advisory Council. I’m also something of an ALDI guru to my friends and family members. They ask for my personal guided store tour and use my favorite-products lists when they shop (get list #1 and list #2). Even random people in my community have been known to sheepishly approach me with a question by asking, “You know a lot about ALDI, right?”

I do know a lot about ALDI—and I also know there are still a few misconceptions AND a whole lot of cool stuff that people may not have heard about yet. So, get the scoop below on what to know about ALDI. And scroll down for a GIVEAWAY of $50 worth of ALDI gift certificates!

1. ALDI accepts credit cards.

This is MAJOR, people. It used to be that ALDI only accepted cash, debit cards, and EBT. But now, you can use credit cards including VISA, MasterCard, and American Express. Rejoice!

2. ALDI has loads of organics.

You don’t have to bust your budget to buy organic food. ALDI has an ever-growing number of organic items, including organic milk, apples, salad greens, frozen berries, peanut butter, coffee, granola, spices, wildflower honey, coconut oil…and I could go on. They even sell USDA choice organic grass-fed ground beef!

3. ALDI has nixed artificial colors.

All of the ALDI-exclusive brands are now free of certified synthetic colors (yay!). Plus, they’ve eliminated added MSG and partially hydrogenated oils, too. These are ingredients a lot of shoppers (like myself) are avoiding, so it’s nice to know I don’t have to scour ingredient lists for them at ALDI.

4. ALDI has free carts.

Yes, you have to pay a quarter to get access to a cart—but you get that quarter back when you return the cart. This move saves you money because it means they’re not paying employees to fetch carts from the parking lots (or spending money replacing carts that go missing). I’ve also seen more than a few folks pass along their cart when they’re finished shopping to arriving customers, and refuse a quarter in return, which always warms my heart.

5. ALDI sells baby formula.

And diapers, wipes, baby wash, infant cereal, and organic baby food pouches, too! Their brand new Little Journey line includes nearly 50 necessities for babies and toddlers at the lowest possible prices.

6. ALDI has grocery bags.

No reason to panic if you forget your reusable bags at home. Though ALDI encourages customers to bring their own bags (it cuts down on costs and is friendlier to the environment), ALDI does have paper, plastic, and reusable bags you can buy at the register. Or you can simply grab an empty box from the shelves and pack up your groceries that way.

7. ALDI stocks some name brands.

More than 90 percent of the products on shelves are ALDI-exclusive brands. But you’ll also find some name-brand stuff too—and it’s always fun to see what products appear each week. I’ve nabbed everything from Ghirardelli brownie mix to Kerrygold butter (at great prices of course).

8. ALDI sells beer & wine.

ALDI carries a selection of craft and imported beers. Plus, they have red, white and sparkling wines that have racked up some prestigious awards. Check the ALDI store locator to see if your store, or a store near you, carries wine and beer.

12 Things You Didn't Know About ALDI

9. ALDI has a whole line of gluten-free products.

If you’re eating gluten-free, check out their liveGfree line of products, which includes pasta, pretzels, crackers, baking mixes, bread and cookies– all free of gluten. See what’s in their gluten-free line here.

12 Things You Didn't Know About ALDI

10. ALDI has faster checkouts.

Even I didn’t know this one until recently. I’ve always been amazed by how quickly the cashiers at ALDI can scan the products—and now I know why: The ALDI products have multiple barcodes on them, so they’re easier to scan. How smart is that?

11. ALDI carries Non-GMO Project Certified foods.

The ALDI SimplyNature line is all organic or Non-GMO Project Certified and is free of artificial ingredients and preservatives. The Non-GMO Project ensures verification and labeling for non-GMO (genetically modified organism) foods. If eating GMO-free is important to you, look for the Non-GMO Project Certified label on products.

12. ALDI carries fancy food.

Obviously you can get all the basics at ALDI, but you can also buy smoked Gouda cheese, premium ice cream, jumbo scallops and garlic stuffed olives. Their Specially Selected line was made with the foodie in mind. So if you need to stock up on something special for a party—or you simply like the finer things in life—you’ll find what you need at ALDI.

**The giveaway is now closed** I’m happy to be hosting a giveaway for $50 in ALDI gift certificates for one Real Mom Nutrition reader. To enter, leave a comment telling me your favorite item to buy at ALDI. Giveaway ends September 22nd at noon EST, and I’ll select a winner at random. (U.S. Residents only, please.)

      Hi,
      I recently started shopping at our local Aldi and was
      happy with their gluten free section. I have been
      enjoying their G-Free multi-grain bread, it’s very
      tasty. But when I read the fine print in the ingredients
      the other day I was really upset to see it contains
      ‘Carmel Color’. I thought Aldi got rid of all artificial
      colors in their products?? Carmel color potentially
      causes cancer. I’m not too excited about eating their
      GF bread anymore. And now I wonder what may
      be hiding in other Aldi products as well.
      Any thoughts?
      Best,
      Jen

    Our favorite grocery item from Aldi are nut-free chocolate chips. All major brand chocolate chips are processed in a nut facility. I was so happy to finally find baking products at Aldi that are processed in nut-free facility. Other favorites are salmon, extra grain whole wheat bread,yogurt and obviously all the can food.

    As a fellow Nutritionist and Personal Chef, some of my favorite ALDI buys include uncured applewood smoked bacon, sweet potatoes, avocados, organic bananas, sprouted grain bread, uncured lunch meats, cheeses, organic canned goods (black beans, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce and paste), and the fit life rice and quinoa blends (for busy week nights and food prepping). Aside from food, I also LOVE their seasonal section and have gotten some awesome deals that I constantly receive compliments for! ALDI ROCKS!

    I love going to ALDI every Friday with a co-worker. I always go for the fruits and veggies because they are a higher quality than I can get at my local grocery store. My daughter loves it when I buy the no salt added peanuts so we can munch on them after lunch together. ALDI has played a huge role in lowering my grocery bill every week and has all the foods that I want to buy. I actually have a special order that I get every week from my local store and they call me when they don’t receive my order so I don’t have to make a special trip. I find the customer service to be the best around and would not shop any where else.

    Last time I was at ALDI I saw chocolate syrup for ice cream and couldn’t believe how inexpensive it was! I bought two because my son’s classroom was having an ice cream social and I loved that donating chocolate syrup that had a great price point and didn’t have the artificial colors was doing something good for the students and doing something good for my wallet.

    I’ve been a loyal Aldi shopper for years. First in Germany, during my childhood and beyond , and now here in the US. They have come such a long way from way back when. The selection in Germany is even better, but it seems the US is catching up fast. Their produce are always fresh, since the turn around is so fast. To pick a favorite product is hard. However, I always buy organic milk, organic mixed salad greens, Never Any ham or turkey, cheese, kefir, and now the new sprouted grains bread. Seriously, what’s not to love. Oh and I love the German specialty products, because, well, it makes me feel less homesick. 🙂

    Love to stock up on nuts and spices here, and grab any organic items when they pop up. Like most kids, my children love those square, orange cheese crackers, so as a treat I occasionally pick up a box of their Savoritz version. They are truly the tastiest ones on the market.

    I love Aldi, and they just opened one RIGHT next to my office. So it’s also convenient for me 🙂 I admit there are some brands I like to buy from the regular grocery stores, (mostly toiletries), but I LOVE produce at Aldi. It’s always fresh, and the prices are simply the best. We get avocados, bagged spring mix, grape tomatoes, English cucumbers, red/orange/green/yellow peppers, bananas, berries… like.. everything!! We also prefer to get cheese (sliced/shredded/fancy!), organic whole milk for my kiddo, and their little specialty meats/cheeses.

    My favorite item – it’s hard to pick just one! I love that they have so many organic items and their prices do not break the bank. I would have to say I love that they have organic apples. And apple a day works for me and this is where we buy bags of them! We started shopping here about a year ago and have saved so much money. My kids even like the cereal and granola bars better than the name brands. Given how much two boys can eat, it’s definitely worth getting food at Aldi!

We love the granola cereals (apple with almonds ), but most recently discovered that they are most affordable for their organic milk *(we drink skim) compared to any other grocery store in our area!*(Thank You, Aldi!) We drink organic milk exclusively after our food scientist friend indicated that there is a definite distinction between non-organic skim milk vs. organic! *(way more bacteria found in non-organic)…so grateful that Aldi offers their milk almost $1.00 cheaper per half gallon! !! We also love their fresh produce and frozen seafood.:-)

    I remember my first visit into our local Aldi’s store over 6 years ago, I just looked around. My second visit my husband came with me & my goal was to see how many groceries I could buy & place in my recycled bag. I remember being amazed at all of the groceries we purchased that day for $20.00. I’ve been avid Aldi’s shopper every sense.

    The produce is fabulous! I do buy as many products in the organic section as possible. I buy so many products from Aldi’s too many to name but the 2 things on my shopping list remain constant weekly. Regular organic coffee k-cups & yummy Hazelnut coffee k-cups.

    I’m just gonna say this… National chain grocery stores (not Aldi) are ripping people off and just suck. I like Aldi for thr simple fact that it’s kept me able to afford food. I was a regular customer of a well known store chain and the prices where at the point where I could not afford to buy food anymore. I’d go in and spend 60 dollars and matbe have two or three days worth of food, and it was store brand stuff. I decided I needed to make a change and go to Aldi… 60 bucks… gets me well over a weeks worth of food, at times I’m good for a couple of weeks off that. So… I like Aldi because again, brand name grocery stores suck and are ripping us all off… big time.
