Simply Nature is Aldi’s personal brand of organic and/or non-GMO products—with that signature Aldi price. With less than 10 grams of sugar per ½-cup serving, this tasty granola blend also packs protein and fiber.

Southern Grove Shelled Pistachios, Roasted with Sea Salt
While Aldi offers a variety of conventional and organic packaged nuts that are ideal for snacking, not all of them are dry-roasted. Most nuts contain 15 grams of their own natural (but healthy!) fats per ¼-cup serving, so look for those with just the nut and a bit of salt—such as these pistachios.They’re crazy good for you, and their price typically reflects the pain in the neck they are to shell. This Aldi-exclusive product is definitely worth the $4.35 for a 6-ounce bag!
Southern Grove Serenity Trail Mix
A goodtrail mixis salty and sweet—but store-bought versions can often be loaded with sugar, sodium and fat. This mix is a filling combo of almonds and walnuts and gets its sweetness from raisins and cranberries. With no sodium, only 7 grams of sugar and 4 grams of protein per ¼-cup serving, this is truly a bargain snack at $4.99 for a 16-ounce bag.
L’Oven Fresh Protein Wraps
These aren’t your giant burrito wraps, but they’re plenty big enough to hold all your favorite sandwich fillings—or to turn into flatbread pizzas.

Loaded with garden veggies, this ‘za is cheaper than carry-out at $6.79!

Happy Farms String Cheese
Voted anAldi Fan Favoritethree years running, all you have to do is taste it to know why. These part-skim mozzarella sticks are just 80 calories apiece, and there’s zero reason only kids should get to have them in the lunchboxes. ($2.19 for 12)

Simply Nature Organic Thick & Chunky Salsa
There’s no watered-down salsa here! This medium-heat pick is a perfect low-cal addition to nachos, tacos and eggs.

Simply Nature Organic Marinara Pasta Sauce

Fresh from Aldi Atlantic Salmon
Fresh salmon can be a bank-breaker, but Aldi remedies that with these 1-pound portions that are fresh, never frozen. And while Atlantic (farmed) salmon sometimes gets a bad rap, this fish comes with certification fromBAP(Best Aquaculture Practices) and a gold medal endorsement for Superior Taste from theAmerican Masters of Taste. It’s the most expensive item on this list but still only $7.79 per pound, and you can even get a cedar-planked portion for just $9.99 per pound!
Eager to try these items? All you need are a couple of Jacksons in your wallet, your own carry-out bags and, of course, a cart quarter.
