With more than 90% of its products being from store brands that are exclusive to Aldi, the retailer has earned a reputation for its unique products and great prices on its rotation of “Aldi Finds.”
But regular shoppers love Aldi for more than just its well-priced seasonal items.
For six years now, Aldi has asked its customers about their favorite products as part of its annual Fan Favorites Survey. Categories currently ranging from “Feel Good Pick” and “Cozy Comfort” to “Charcuterie Favorite” and “The Internet Made Me Buy It.”
Here’s a look at the winning products from 2024.
Specially Selected Aged Cheese
Category in which this product is the fan favorite: “Charcuterie Favorite”
If you’re looking for cheese with more flavor than your typical grocery store cheese, consider the aged cheeses from Aldi’s Specially Selected brand. Options include Gouda and cheddar. These make a great grown-up snack or appetizer to serve at your next get-together.
Black Angus Beef Chuck Roast
Category in which this product is the fan favorite: “Cozy Comfort”
I love a good Crock-Pot meal, and the Black Angus Beef Chuck Roast is a perfect choice for one with potatoes and your favorite vegetable. Prefer gyros or tacos? Slow-cook this chuck roast, and you’ll appreciate its tenderness and marbling.
Restaurant Style Tortilla Chips and Deli Pizza
Category in which this product is the fan favorite: “DoorDash Delights” (tie)
Two different products won this category in Aldi’s latest annual Fan Favorites Survey: Clancy’s Restaurant Style Tortilla Chips and Mama Cozzi’s Deli Pizza.
Aldi has so many great dips that deserve a great tortilla chip, and Clancy’s Restaurant Style Tortilla Chips are just the right size.
If pizza is your go-to, then Mama Cozzi’s Deli Pizza may be a great option for you. These take-and-bake pies come in 12-inch and 16-inch sizes, with numerous topping options. There’s even a gluten-free option made with cauliflower crust.
Park Street Deli Hummus
Category in which this product is the fan favorite: “Feel Good Pick”
Pick up a container of Park Street Deli Hummus to go with any of the store’s cracker options or Clancy’s chips for a nutritious afternoon snack. Or use it as a spread on your favorite type of bread. Varieties include classic, garlic and red pepper.
Tri-Colored Peppers
Category in which this product is the fan favorite: “Fresh and Fabulous”
Aldi offers its fans a variety of affordable fruits and vegetables, but the yellow, orange and red peppers are a favorite.
They are suitable for stir-fry, adding color to a salad or with hummus for a healthy afternoon pick-me-up.
Little Salad Bar Chicken Caesar Salad Bowl
Category in which this product is the fan favorite: “In a Pinch”
Need a quick lunch or dinner choice? Try Aldi’s Little Salad Bar Chicken Caesar Salad Bowl. It’s a ready-made meal in a bowl, including everything you need for a chicken Caesar salad, even shredded asiago cheese to top it off with. So, all you have to pack is a fork.
You won’t have to worry about the dressing making the lettuce wilt, as Aldi has each element of the salad packaged separately.
Ribeye Steak
Category in which this product is the fan favorite: “Summer Cookout”
Love to barbecue? Try Aldi’s Ribeye Steak for a more affordable cut of beef. The retailer offers both a Black Angus option and a grass-fed option.
Bake Shop Cheesecake Sampler
Category in which this product is the fan favorite: “Sweet Treats Anyone?”
If you can’t decide whether you like a slice of New York or chocolate cheesecake, try the Bake Shop Cheesecake Sampler. This platter with 12 slices currently offers four flavors, giving you three slices of each:
- New York Style
- Strawberry Swirl
- Turtle
- Triple Chocolate
Fresh Atlantic Salmon
Category in which this product is the fan favorite: “Top Catch”
Pair Aldi’s Fresh Atlantic Salmon with a salad for a fresh and healthy meal. The fish is vacuum-packaged, never frozen and perfectly sized portioned for two. Don’t worry about breaking the bank with this option, either; my local Aldi charges less than $10 for their salmon.
Barissimo Barista Cold Foam
Category in which this product is the fan favorite: “The Internet Made Me Buy It”
If you haven’t tried cold foam yet, check social media — where Aldi’s cold foam is a big hit — for tasty ways to enjoy Barissimo Barista Cold Foam. Flavors include Sweet Vanilla or Caramel Macchiato, with seasonal flavors like pumpkin spice and peppermint offered at certain times of year.
Specially Selected Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Category in which this product is the fan favorite: “Wine Time”
Enjoy red win? You can try Aldi’s Specially Selected Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon for less than $20 a bottle.
According to the retailer, it has hints of “spring flowers, black currants, forest floor, and a touch of chocolate” and pairs well with beef, poultry or pasta with red sauce.
Huntington Home Swedish Dish Cloth
Category in which this product is the fan favorite: “Aldi Encore”
For its latest annual Fan Favorites Survey, Aldi also introduced a new category, “Aldi Encore,” designed to highlight a popular but discontinued product. Huntington Home Swedish Dish Cloths won in this category — and the retailer took note, returning the product to store shelves for a limited time.
