There are many treasures that we have discovered since shopping at Aldi. You can read more about my initial thoughts here.

In honor of the $20 gift card giveaway here are five items worth taking a second look at when shopping Aldi’s.

Trail Mix and Nuts–

They have a great variety including mixes with dark chocolate, ones with only dried fruits, as well as an extensive nut selection(we love the salted cashews). Most large bags run around $5. Here is my favorite!

Breads

While the breads have been hit or miss for some time, they have expanded their selection. We like the shelf stable garlic bread for $1.99, sandwich thins for under $1.50, and buying buns for cookouts since packs of 8 are under $1.00!

Snack Food

They have a huge variety including knock off Girl Scout cookies. When you have ten kids at your house swimming and are looking for an easy snack, a giant bag of tortilla chips and salsa work great. Also their granola bars, pita chips, apple sauce squeezes, and oatmeal cream pies are regulars here!

Cheeses

We love their variety of cheeses and have tried some really great imported cheese. They carry Babybels regularly, their cheese sticks are great for lunch boxes, and you can’t beat the shredded line. Our favorites are the Honey Goat cheese, the freshly shredded Parmesan, and mozzarella ball.

Chocolates

Lots of chocolate, but our favorite indulgence is the sea salt caramel!
