I'm a recent Aldi convert. I could never do all of my shopping there, but found some products to try at a great price that have become staples in our household.
Fit and Active No Sugar Added Raspberry Preserves
-only 10 calories per tablespoon and < 1 gram of sugar; I was pleasantly suprised that there is no detectable sucralose aftertaste
-love it mixed into homemade yogurt (it is also amazing on CarbSmart Vanilla Ice Cream)
-with the flatbread (see below) I can have a peanut butter sandwich again!
-the apricot and strawberry are good too...but we like the raspberry best
Fit and Active Original Flatbread
-90 calories, 16g carbohydrates, 9g dietary fiber, 9g protein
-VERY thin so I can have the feeling of bread without it taking up too much space
-I warmed half of a flatbread with an ounce of their spicy salami and a slice of cheese then piled on some watercress for a very tasty lunch wrap. UH. MAZE. ING.
Happy Farms Brie
-a great tasting brie for a great price
-delicious snack/dessert on Dare whole grain crackers with the raspberry preserves
Moser Roth 85% Cocoa Dark Chocolate Bars
-each bar is 160 calories, 9g carbohydrates, 3g fiber, 3.5g sugar, 3g protein
-it is rich and smooth and the perfect little sweet bite at the end of a meal
Fit and Active Sprouted 7 Grain Bread
-60 calories, 11g carbohydrates, 2g fiber, 1g sugar, 3g protein
-the slice is small enough for me to have toast with my post-run sauteed greens and over easy egg
-stick the whole loaf in the freezer and just pull out a slice as I need it
Do y'all get something from there that I should be trying???

I live in Texas and we just got an Aldi's. Thank you for posting this it gives me some items to look for when I go shopping there. I haven't been yet since it just opened.1

Love Aldi1

I LOVE Aldi's! I looked and couldn't find the Moser chocolate. I'll keep looking!
I LOVE their plain, fat-free, greek yogurt. It's so much cheaper than store brands and the stats are just as good as big brand names.
Their "Laughing Cow" soft cheese wedges are a great swap for less money.
Their "LiveGFree" line is good. I can't do wheat, I bloat, seriously. (8 pounds from 12 crackers, no joke)
I am a cook. I love Aldi produce because it makes me feel like I'm on Chopped.
You never know what they will have.
Back in the day, Aldi was awful. They were bought out by Trader Joe's parent company and the chain did a huge turnaround. I know a lot of people have the old Aldi's stuck in their heads. I encourage people to give them another try!1 -
Other than the awesome cheeses and produce selection, I dig the SF strawberry preserves and the gyro chicken sausage. I need to try the 7 grain bread now....1

I wish they would have Aldi where I live!1

We have an Aldi not too far from me so now I will have to check it out. A couple of years ago people said they had expired stuff but will give them another chance.
We are getting a Sprouts not too far from me next year or so, and am looking forward to that - I hear it's great0 -

Sprouts is awesome!! Even though I do wish we had Aldi, there are a couple of Sprouts super close to me, and I have Trader Joe's and Whole Foods within walking distance. I haven't shopped at a "regular" grocery store in ages!1 -
@garber6th - I have heard Sprouts is awesome and that their prices are also great. I cannot wait for them to come to the Charlotte area

I make our yogurt but good to know that theirs is a good option if my yogurt making routine gets thrown out of whack.
Love to hear about the Laughing Cows. Love those things but I tried a another store's brand a few months ago and it was awful. I was just stocking up on LC when it was on sale. My girls eat too much of it for my budget if I keep it around all the time!
I'm all about the gluten free if there is something tasty and cost effective!0 -

Their LiveGfree line of crackers are tasty! There's a garlic cheese combo that I've found! And being Aldi's, you know the price is decent! I'd definitely look at them!
Another girl from my local support group told me they have snack size protein bars that are supposed to be amazing, so that's my next hunt!0 -
New find yesterday!
SimplyNature Sunflower Seed Bites Sea Salt
Tasty, crunchy, savory little bites.
A 28 gram serving is:
140 calories
8 grams fat
13 grams carbohydrates
3 grams fiber
2 grams sugar
5 grams protein
A nice bonus is 6% RDA iron along with some calcium and vitamin C.1 -
They have 100 calorie pack snacks that are light and fit brand. Very tasty and good for when i need a quick low calorie snack0

I discovered a new one while on vacation...
They have a Tuscan herb seasoned nut mix. Delicious and dangerous!1 -
Aldi's rocks! We've had one locally forever now. The only downside is when you forget to bring a quarter to pop the shopping cart loose.

This is a great thread! I will admit... I have shunned Aldi's for the last 4 years or so. But this is encouraging me to go and give them another try! Thanks for sharing!!1

I love their protein bars! I keep boxes of them in the minivan so the kids can eat between practices.1
