If there’s one common complaint among consumers these days, it’s that the price of groceries feels too high. Unless, of course, you’re an Aldi shopper. If you regularly bring your bags and a quarter to the Aldi near you, then you know that you can find delicious groceries for mouth-wateringly low prices.

In fact, there are a number of mealtime or snacky staples for under $5 waiting for you on the shelves. Shopping at Aldi allows you to stretch your dollar further than you can at your local big-box grocery store — while still enjoying your favorite flavors and meals. 

Family Pack Chicken Drumsticks

Priced at $4.46, this family pack of drumsticks allows you to feed your family — and have leftovers to spare. Bake them for Sunday dinner with vegetables or fry ’em up for a summer picnic. 

Deli Sliced Swiss Cheese 

Whether you like your Swiss cheese on a delicious tomato and mayo sandwich or paired with roast beef, you won’t have to skimp on your favorite sandwiches if you get the Aldi Happy Farms brand, which costs just $1.55. 

Tilapia Filets

The prospect of getting a fresh filet of fish for under $5 might seem too good to be true. But in some Aldi locations, you can find tilapia filets for just $4.72.  

Organic Multigrain Tortilla Chips

Lightly dusted with sea salt and packed with the benefits of whole grains like corn, brown rice and flax, these tortilla chips come with all the flavor and none of the guilt. Priced at only $1.89, you can load up on as many as you need for any summer gathering — or for your own pantry. 

Southern Grove Fruit & Nut Trail Mix

Perfect for the top of a smoothie, or as a grab-and-go snack, this trail mix brings the best mix of sweet and savory right to your tongue. The price of $2.99 is just as amazing as the taste.  

Never Any! Apple Chicken Sausage

Cut them up over rice. Cook them in a breakfast sandwich. Serve them with a delicious pasta. These apple chicken sausages make for a versatile meal. At only $3.65, you’ll be able to use them in quite a lot of meals well into the future. 

Premium Boneless Center Cut Pork Chops

Sumptuous pork chops may feel like a dinnertime luxury, but at only $4.71, these pork chops from Aldi can bring fine dining to your dinner table. 

Goldhen Free Range Large Brown Grade A Eggs

Certified humane raised and handled, these gorgeous eggs more than make the grade of A+ in size, flavor, and cost at just $3.75. If you like them scrambled, fried or even on top of your croque madame sandwich, you can find them in abundance at Aldi. 

Sundae Shoppe Summer Gelato

There’s never a wrong time for gelato, but it tastes extra delightful when beating back the summer heat. Find this perfect try-not-to-eat-it-all-in-one-serving container, in mixed berry, triple chocolate or caramel cookie crunch for $4.19. 

Earth Grown Vegan Style Mozzarella Shreds 

Gluten-free, dairy-free yet full of flavor, these mozzarella shreds taste enough like the real deal that people with lactose intolerance and those following a vegan diet can enjoy pasta dishes without pain or compromising their values. At only $4.15, you can serve as much as you’d like.
