Check Out: The Best Aldi Buys for the Money Right Now

  • Price: $8.79

Twelve rolls of name-brand toilet paper usually sets you back $10 or more at most major supermarkets and drugstores. Opting for Willow soft and strong bath tissue at Aldi means getting 12 jumbo-sized rolls and paying about 73 cents for each one.

  • Price: $5.49

Reese’s and private labels like Target’s Favorite Day have nothing on Choceur milk chocolate peanut butter cups. These cups are cheaper and come highly recommended by Aldi shoppers for their delicious taste.

  • Price: $3.19

The taste of Burman’s real mayonnaise has been compared to brands like Hellmann’s at a much lower cost. A 30-ounce jar of Hellmann’s mayonnaise typically retails for $6-$7 at Walmart and Target.

  • Price: $3.15

The next time you need to buy cottage cheese, opt for the Friendly Farms brand. It will always cost a few dollars less for a 24-ounce container compared to Knudsen and Lucerne brands.

  • Price: $2.99

Compared to brands like Orowheat, L’oven Fresh 100% whole wheat wide pan bread is about a $1 cheaper per loaf and has an underground reputation among Aldi shoppers for having a longer shelf life than other bread brands.

  • Price: $2.79

A 32-ounce tub of Chobani nonfat Greek yogurt is more than double the price of Friendly Farms nonfat plain Greek yogurt at most traditional grocery stores, FYI.

  • Price: $2.75

There’s a better chance your weekly grocery budget can accommodate the price of Benton’s original chocolate sandwich crème cookies compared to the price of Oreos. (Which usually cost $4.50 or more depending on where you shop.)

  • Price: $2.35

We don’t anticipate the Kellogg’s cereal to get cheaper anytime soon, so Millville frosted shredded wheat makes for a solid breakfast substitute.

  • Price: $1.99

No need to call out the brand these Clancy’s nacho tortilla chips are a dupe of. You could buy two bags of chips for the price of one bag from the highly recognizable snack brand.

  • Price: $2.19

Aldi offers Bake House Creations’ cinnamon rolls with icing as a comparable dupe to Pillsbury favorites. You’re unlikely to find a better deal elsewhere.

  • Price: $1.09

Breaking: Lacura facial wipes, in a 25-count pack, are now cheaper to buy at Aldi than the Biophil brand at Dollar Tree.

Aldi is on another level boasting private labels that can beat out name brands and discount retailer brands!
