Ready to save big on your grocery bill? Check out these Top 90 ALDI Supermarket products voted by regular shoppers! From pantry staples to household essentials, ALDI has everything you need at unbeatable prices.
If you’re on the verge of switching supermarkets and don’t know if ALDI is any good?, we asked ALDI shoppers what their favourite items are and now we have the most comprehensive ALDI shopping list for first-timers!
Look, I’m not going to lie, when it comes to grocery shopping, I’m loyal to my supermarket of choice (and its loyalty program) but the price increases in everything related to living have me convinced I could save some money by shopping at the holy grail of bargains, ALDI supermarkets.
And there are indeed BIG savings – more than $1500 a year – to be had according to The ALDI Price Report.
The ALDI Price Report confirms that a basket at ALDI is at least 15.6% cheaper than at other supermarkets, meaning an average Aussie family can save $1,555 a year by making the switch and that’s if they are already buying the cheapest products at a competitor store.

ALDI Special Buys: everything you didn’t know you needed
ALDI supermarket’s Special Buys are found in the centre of the store, containing different random items every week (or until stocks last).
It’s a fun game to play but if you’re on a budget – or rather if you’re trying desperately to stick to a budget – close your eyes and walk straight past the centre of the store, looking directly ahead so you don’t make eye contact with the Special Buys aisle. Any blink or slight faltering will see you loading a pink flamingo lawn ornament, a pack of highlighters and a tent into the boot of your car. Not even joking.
And special mentions!
Not all ALDI supermarkets sell booze – in fact, only select stores in NSW, ACT, WA and VIC sell alcohol, but a special mention must go out to DeBortoli Prosecco when it’s in stock. Perfect for drinking straight or adding to your Aperol spritz, be sure to add a bottle to your trolley!
Of course, the only drawback of ALDI it seems is that you have to pack your own shopping – though it’s said to be bearable once you get used to it and have a system that works for you!
FYI: Each ALDI supermarket does have a designated bag packing area for you to sort yourself out before leaving the store. Or you can just load it straight from the trolley into your car boot. Good luck and may your savings be plentiful.
