Customers who shop at Aldi can easily comprehend the reason why the German grocery store chain is among the most rapidly expanding grocery stores in the United States. This is not simply due to the fact that they have been ranked first in “everyday low prices” for seven consecutive years.
There is no doubt that low prices and shopping without frills play a role, but what truly keeps customers coming back is the selection of high-quality, private-label products that are not available anywhere else.
As we have stated previously, there are products sold at Aldi that we would choose over the name-brand competition any day of the week. This sentiment is shared by a large number of other customers, which is why the “aisle of shame” receives so much positive attention.
However, despite the fact that we are huge fans of Le Creuset imitations and the renowned charcuterie section, it is the products that we use on a daily basis that keep us coming back for more.
Over the course of the past six years, Aldi has conducted a survey called Fan Favorites, in which it has asked its customers to vote on the grocery products that they like the most. Thousands of customers responded, and the following is a list of the thirteen Aldi products that you voted to be the best in 2024.
Favorite items from Aldi’s 2024 sales
Specially Selected Aged Cheese
There is a cult following for Aldi’s cheese, so it should come as no surprise that one of the Specially Selected aged cheeses from the store made it onto the list. An accolade that reads “Award Winning Cheese” is displayed on the packaging of the company’s 1000 Day Aged Gouda.
Even though it costs only $4, you would never be able to tell that it was not purchased from an artisanal store because it has the same delectable flavor as a cheese that has won awards.
Black Angus Beef Chuck Roast
Have a chuck roast in your refrigerator or freezer at all times; it is always a good idea to have one on hand. For simple dinners that can be prepared in a slow cooker, such as Mississippi pot roast, Italian shredded beef the sandwiches, and, of course, the humble pot roast, this is the perfect ingredient.
Clancy’s Restaurant Style Tortilla Chips
The supermarket chain Aldi offers a wide variety of delicious dips, including salsa, guacamole, Mexicali, and Street Corn dips, amongst others. However, a delicious dip cannot be enjoyed without a tasty chip to dip it in, and that is where these restaurant-style tortilla chips come into play.
Mama Cozzi’s Deli Pizza
No stranger to the list of fan favorites is Mama Cozzi’s take-and-bake deli pizza, which is a fan favorite. Since the beginning of Aldi’s survey, it has been included on the list each and every year. It is impossible to make a mistake when ordering the traditional pepperoni pizza, despite the fact that the deli pizza is popular in every flavor, including the Aldi Finds specialty pizza.
Park Street Deli Hummus
Irrespective of whether you choose the original hummus from Park Street Deli for a simple snack, one of the flavors such as Roasted Red Pepper or Spicy to spice up your lunch, or even the Hummus Quartet to bring to your next party, you are in for a real treat. The hummus sold at Aldi is made with a smooth consistency and a great flavor, making it suitable for any occasion.
Tri-Colored Peppers
Can you think of something that would go well with your hummus? The option of purchasing a three-pack of colored bell peppers is an excellent choice. Alternately, you can use them to make stuffed peppers, Italian sausage with peppers and onions, cut them up and use them in salads, or simply crunch into them whenever you get a craving for a snack.
Little Salad Bar Chicken Caesar Salad Bowl
Although it is common knowledge that Aldi’s take-and-bake pizzas and even the heat-and-eat meals are popular, customers also take advantage of the to-go options that are available. The chicken Caesar salad that is already prepared makes mealtimes incredibly simple, regardless of where you are.
Ribeye Steak
The majority of people probably believe that ribeye steak is quite expensive, but this is not the case at Aldi. With an average weight of 1.16 pounds, the boneless ribeye steak priced at approximately $12 per pound is available at this establishment. Therefore, you can enjoy a delectable meal that is worthy of being served in a restaurant without putting a strain on your finances.
Bake Shop Cheesecake Sampler
In the event that you are one of those individuals who are able to leave Aldi without purchasing anything from the bakery section, then you are truly more powerful than we are. Sweets from Bake Shop are irresistible to us, and the creamy cheesecake sampler is especially hard to resist.
In the style of Chandler and Rachel from “Friends,” the eight-slice sampler includes two pieces of New York Style cheesecake, two pieces of Strawberry Swirl cheesecake, two pieces of Turtle cheesecake, and two pieces of Triple Chocolate cheesecake. We won’t hold it against you if you consume the entire thing in a single sitting.
Fresh Atlantic Salmon
The Mediterranean Herb-crusted Atlantic Salmon was successful in making it onto the list of Fan Favorites the previous year. In the current year, consumers are giving credit to the Fresh Atlantic Salmon in its current form. When you have access to fresh fish that has not been seasoned, the options for your salmon dinner are practically limitless.
Barissimo Barista Cold Foam
The product that has been deemed the most fashionable on the list is the Barissimo Barista Cold Foam, which was awarded the title of “The Internet Made Me Buy It” winner this year. The cold foam in a can, which comes in flavors such as caramel macchiato and sweet vanilla, will save you from having to make a trip to the coffee shop and pay all of the additional fees for your morning cup of Joe.
Specially Selected Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
The Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon was introduced by Aldi in 2023 as a part of the new Specially Selected wine collection. The collection was designed to provide customers with a taste of superior quality without requiring them to spend a significant amount of money on a bottle.
It should come as no surprise that customers are drawn to the Cabernet Sauvignon, which is sold at a price that is reasonable at $14.99 and originates from the state of California.
