The 13 Best Aldi Products of All Time, According to Customers

You voted for your fan favorites—did they make the list?

Every Aldi shopper knows the joys of coming out of your local store with a cart full of high-quality groceries that you’ll brag to your friends about. “Yeah, those chips? I got them from Aldi.” We’ve all been there.

In this period of inflation hitting every store, it can be tricky to find low-cost, private-label products that are as good as the name-brand counterparts—but not at Aldi. Fans know how great Aldi’s products are, which is why Aldi is one of America’s fastest-growing grocery stores.

But which products are the best and worth buying? That’s a tough question, but Aldi has the answer. For the past five years, Aldi has asked its customers to vote for the items they don’t leave the store without in its Fan Favorites survey. Aldi customers voted earlier this year to determine 2023’s Fan Favorite winners.

“Our loyal shoppers are always vocal about their love for ALDI products and over 70,000 of them sang praises in this year’s Fan Favorites survey,” said Scott Patton, Aldi’s Vice President of National Buying.

The votes are in; these are the 13 fan-favorite items at Aldi in 2023, according to its shoppers.
