When you stop into Aldi, you never know what you’re going to find. Sure, you can count on them to have all the cheap staples you traditionally buy—yogurt, cereal, cheese, etc.—but there’s always new stuff to check out, too. Seasonal snacks. Weird flavors of cheese. Of course, if you get too attached to something tasty you found in the Aldi Finds aisle, you could be setting yourself up for heartache if it’s a one-off—even the best Aldi products have a tendency to periodically disappear from shelves. Still, that hasn’t kept us from digging a quarter out of our wallets every few weeks and checking out what’s new—and which Aldi products we may have missed along the way. These are the best Aldi products we scored in 2024.

This isn’t a new Aldi product—it has a dedicated fanbase, in fact—but it’s new to us, and, dammit, it deserves a shout out. Season Choice’s frozen sweet potato casserole is definitely intended to be served as a side dish with dinner, but it’s so indulgent that you could honestly eat it for dessert. It’s sweet, perfectly spiced, and sprinkled with a praline topping that’s delightfully crunchy, even out of the microwave. Eat it with turkey or eat it with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream—dealer’s choice.
Every month, we round up the newest and most exciting products heading to Aldi’s shelves, and there’s almost always some new, wild frozen pizza in the mix. Mac n’ meat pizza. Indian butter chicken pizza. Something called “queso pizza.” But when we sat down to taste and rank more than a dozen Aldi pizzas, an ordinary ol’ pepperoni pizza was our favorite. Okay, it’s not ordinary—it’s knuckle docked (ooh la la), meaning the dough was perforated by hand to prevent big air bubbles from forming in the crust. Now, we sort of doubt the crust this pizza is built upon was actually docked with human knuckles, but we love that it has the right amount of chew and a nice, crispy bottom. The crust is what makes it better than a lot of other Aldi pizzas, but we certainly didn’t mind that there’s a lot of cheese on this pie. We’ve haven’t seen this Aldi product at our local store in a while, but we’re holding out hope it returns.
