I love to pick up some Brie to serve guests and cold coffee for my husband.
Chocolate chip brioche bread makes us feel like we are eating in a luxury bakery.
I’ve never seen chocolate chips and brioche together before shopping at Aldiso I always make sure to grab one of these from the Specially Selected brand when I go shopping.
I like to grab a loaf of bread to pair with a cup of coffee or for a sweet mid-morning snack for lunch.
The bread costs $3.95 and also comes in a vanilla brioche flavor, which I think sounds equally delicious.
Mini croissants make sandwiches more fun or are perfect as a side dish to a pasta dinner.
My kids are always begging for a sandwich with their pasta, and these mini croissants are the perfect find because they’re just the right size for their little fingers.
I also like to use them for sandwiches at lunch to provide variety throughout the week beyond plain bread or sandwich rolls.
A pack of 12 costs $3.15.
Cranberry almond chicken salad cups are the perfect size for lunch.
These cranberry-almond chicken salad cups are the ideal size for packing into lunch boxes or plopping on mini croissants for a break from deli meats.
They come in a handy pack of four, making them easy to scoop out and enjoy on their own or with bread or a croissant.
A pack of four is $4.89. A classic recipe option is also available if you’re not a fan of cranberry almond.
Naan flatbread can be the best crust.
If you’re trying to cook for picky kids, you know how difficult it can be to satisfy everyone’s tastes at dinner.
I usually buy two packs of Naan Flatbread and let the kids make their own pizza with the toppings they love. It’s quick and easy and the kids love it make their favorite dish†
A pack of four Naan Flatbreads costs $4.29.
Nuts and cheese are the perfect guilt-free snack.
When my kids ask when it’s 20th dinner, I love that I can give them these cheese, nut, and raisin snack packs while feeling guilt-free.
I’ve seen three flavors available at Aldi: pepper jack cheese, raisins, and honey-roasted peanuts; sharp yellow cheddar cheese, dried cranberries and cashews; and sharp white cheddar cheese, dried cranberries and sea-salted almonds.
These come in a pack of three for $3.19.
The price for this Brie can’t be beat.
This is the ideal companion for a larger charcuterie board, combined with a nice glass of wine. When we have guestsI like to wrap the Brie in half-moon pastry, bake and serve with jam.
This brie costs $3.39 for one round, which may be the cheapest I’ve seen in any store.
Buttermilk pancake mix makes the best weekend breakfast.
When I have time to bake pancakes for breakfast on the weekend I grab this delicious mix.
I love that you only need water for this mix and a few minutes to combine everything. We add blueberries to it to sweeten the pancakes and sometimes we even use chocolate chips.
A 32-ounce box of this buttermilk pancake mix costs $1.68.
Chopped garlic saves me so much time for weeknight recipes.
This jar of minced garlic is a huge time saver. I always make sure to have one on hand for any recipe that calls for garlic, from mashed potatoes to homemade Alfredo sauce.
Each 1/2 teaspoon is equal to one clove of garlic. An 8 ounce jar of minced garlic costs $2.19 and lasts a long time in my house.
My kids love to eat in fun shapes, so these dinosaur chicken nuggets are a must.
This box of dinosaur chicken nuggets is huge and I will do anything to get my kids to eat, especially when it comes to meat.
I usually put them in the air fryer, so they are extra crispy on the outside.
A 48-ounce bag of nuggets costs $5.99 and is worth every penny for happy children at mealtime.
This Yogurt from Friendly Farms is super affordable and comes in so many flavors.
At least my kids keep going one cup of yogurt a dayso I love stocking these up at Aldi.
You really can’t beat the price and we love the variety of flavors available such as peach, blueberry, strawberry and strawberry banana.
A 6-ounce container of yogurt costs just 39 cents each, and I’d highly recommend stocking up to have multiple flavors on hand.
This bottle of Stick Cold-Brew coffee is the perfect solution for tired parents.
My husband loves having this coffee in the fridge for a real pick-me-up as with kids our schedules are busy.
me usually buy him a bottle that he mixes with milk for iced coffee on the go. The variety we buy is unsweetened, so it adds its own sweeteners.
A 48-ounce bottle of cold brew costs $4.78.
Season’s Choice strawberry-banana frozen fruit mix makes the most delicious smoothies.
My kids and I love smoothies as a treat, but spending over $20 on store-bought ones for the whole family adds up quickly.
The Season’s Choice bags of frozen fruit are huge, so we can use it to make lots of smoothies† We like to add yogurt, apple juice or almond milk to make the best brew.
A 48 ounce bag costs $7.45.
Taco seasoning for 38 cents is a good idea.
There are few things you can buy for less than 50 cents these days, but I’m happy to say that Aldi’s taco seasoning is one of them.
When we have Taco Tuesday, we use the herbs from Casa Mamita to make our ground beef or turkey taste extra good. We usually add some diced tomatoes, shredded cheese, and sour cream for the perfect taco night.
At just 38 cents each for a 1-ounce package, you might as well stock up on Taco Tuesday for the rest of the month.
A gyro kit is an easy dinner to make with hardly any cleanup.
If you’re like me, you’re always looking for change the weekly dinner menu† Fortunately, this gyro sandwich kit has everything you need for a delicious meal.
The kit comes with slices of gyro meat, tzatziki sauce, and pita bread that you can easily prepare in a skillet or microwave for super easy cleanup. The pita breads literally feel like a cloud when you heat them up.
This kit costs $10.99 and makes five filling gyros.
Benton’s alphabet cookies are fun to eat.
If you have a little one in the house, Benton’s mini alphabet cookies will be so much fun as a snack as they try to spell their own words.
I love that they come in snack packs that kids can easily take to school as a nut-free option to share with their class.
