I've worked at Aldi for 2 years. Here are 10 of my favorite things to get there.
As an Aldi employee, I love getting affordable, tasty groceries for my family.
My kids can't get enough of the Tuscan Garden ranch or the Millville buttermilk-pancake mix.
The Specially Selected sourdough round is great for sandwiches.
As an Aldi employee of two years, I know that the German brand stocks a lot of unique, affordable products.
I have a few go-to items I grab to make tasty meals for my family.
Here are 10 of my favorite things to get at Aldi.
The Specially Selected sourdough round has a great flavor.
The Specially Selected sourdough round from Aldi is exceptional.
I usually toast and butter the bread to pair with a salad.
The toasted bread is also great for chicken sandwiches, which I like to top with mayo and lettuce.
The Emporium Selection shredded Parmesan changed my mind about this type of cheese.
The aesthetic packaging of the Emporium Selection Parmesan is top-tier, but the taste of the cheese is even better.
I was never a big fan of Parmesan, but decided to try this one and loved it.
Now, I use it in Caesar salads and add it to my famous homemade Alfredo sauce.
Park Street Deli pickles are some of the best I've ever had.
I enjoy snacking on Park Street Deli kosher dill pickles or pairing them with a meal.
They're not too sour or salty, so I love them in a nice salad or alongside a juicy burger.
As someone who craves pickles now and then, the Park Street Deli brand is a must for me.
My family loves the Tuscan Garden buttermilk ranch.
My children and I practically put Tuscan Garden ranch on everything, including salads, pizza, and fries.
I even add the ranch to my mashed potatoes, and my kids love using it as a dip for their chicken nuggets and veggies.
If you like ranch dressing, you'll probably understand the excitement behind this product when you taste it.
Nature's Nectar apple juice is delicious.
Nature's Nectar apple juice is a drink all ages can enjoy.
I like that, per the packaging, this juice has no added sugars.
Queen Victoria cilantro is essential for taco night.
Cilantro is a staple for us every taco Tuesday.
I'm very serious about making guacamole, and Queen Victoria cilantro adds the perfect flavor.
Though you can get cilantro from almost any grocery store, I like the quality of the Queen Victoria bunch.
Specially Selected pure maple syrup is a nostalgic buy for me.
For me, Specially Selected maple syrup seems like it's packed with love.
My grandma always used fresh maple syrup when I was growing up, and this is the closest thing to her version I've tasted in a long time.
Zapp's New Orleans kettle chips are packed with great flavor.
The name of Zapp's New Orleans voodoo kettle chips initially made me want to stay away, but the flavor blew my mind when I first tried them. They're sweet and salty, with just a hint of spice.
They're good enough to snack on by themselves or enjoy with lunch — I prefer them with a turkey sandwich.
I make sandwiches and simple snacks with Simply Nature creamy almond butter.
If you like organic foods, the Simply Nature creamy almond butter is a must.
As a mom, finding organic products that aren't loaded with sugar is a win. A serving of this almond butter has only 2 grams of sugar.
I have the almond butter with rice cakes or slather it on bread with some jelly.
Millville buttermilk pancakes are my daughter's favorite.
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and I love starting my kids off with some pancakes made with Millville buttermilk mix.
Strawberry pancakes are one of my daughter's favorite meals, but I don't always have the time to make the batter from scratch.
Luckily, the Millville buttermilk-pancake mix brings smiles to my family's faces and makes breakfast easier.
