ALDI shoppers are a discerning bunch, who know what they like and what they don’t! After casting more than 300,000 votes, they’ve chosen just eight products as their top picks. And some of these may just surprise you.

The annual People’s Picks awards invite ALDI shoppers to vote for their favourite products, across eight categories.

And there are a couple of fan favourites that made the cut, as well as some surprises.

“We’re so excited to bring back The People’s Picks for its sixth year!”ALDI Australia’s Shopping Expert, Kylie Warnke, said.

“We love to see classic items like the Urban Eats Greek Spinach & Cheese Spanakopita and The Best Margarita Pizza Ever return as finalists year after year, as well as cheer on new products that are making their debut on the list, such as the Kapiti Passion Fruit and Kamahi Honey Ice cream and the Café Series Salt & Pepper Tempura Barramundi.”

Take a look at the winners:

The Best Newcomer: Blackstone Gourmet Snack Co. Black Edition Deli Style Potato Chips Truffle & Olive Oil 175g, $3.49

1

Kylie said, “Don’t be fooled, these potato chips are no ordinary snack. With their truffle and olive oil twist, they are a sure-fire way to be the hit of any party (even if that is a party of one binging a TV series at home!). At only $3.49, it’s never been easier or more affordable to have a boujee snack on a budget.”


Certified Gold: Di-San Pre Wash Stain Remover 750ml, $2.09

2

Kylie said, “Like many other Australians, I swear by the Di-San range for all my cleaning and laundry needs. The Pre-Wash Stain Remover takes the chore out of laundry and is a guaranteed fix-it for the toughest of stains.”


The BBQ Boss: Ready, Set… Cook! Marinated Lamb Leg Steaks with Rosemary and Mint, $25.99 per kg

3

Kylie said, “These 100% Australian Lamb Leg Steaks are a wonderfully convenient option to have flavourful lamb without the hassle and time needed to prepare a marinade. Whether you’re serving it up for a family BBQ at home or venturing out to a park or beach for some summer socialising, these steaks are a great get-and-go option.”


The Socialite: Urban Eats Greek Spinach & Cheese Spanakopita 750g, $8.99

4

Kylie said, “Put your hand up if you’ve seen the Urban Eats Greek Spinach & Cheese Spanakopita on your socials, because I certainly have! The likes and comments speak for themselves and that’s why this favourite won in the Socialite category. A classic option for an easy, scoff-it-down dinner, and for only $8.99, you’re sure to be the heart-eyes emoji!”


The Aussie Made Fave: Broad Oak Farms RSPCA Approved Chicken Thigh Bulk, $12.99 per kg

5

Kylie said, “Up against some steep competition for Aussie-Made fave, the reliable Broad Oak Farms RSPCA Approved Chicken Thigh Bulk took out the win. At only $12.99 a kilo, they serve as a great protein option for families who want to bulk out their meals, without bulking out their budgets. From curries to pastas and everything in between, they’re a go-to in my freezer for weeknight meals.”


The Lunchbox Legend: Snackers Market Colby Cheese & Crackers 4pk 100g, $3.99

6

Kylie said, “The Snackers Market Cheese & Crackers have won for a second year, proving just how much parents LOVE this lunchbox legend for their little legends. I can attest to these being a favourite in our household – for kids and parents alike!”


The Time Lord: Seasons Pride Potato Gratin 4pk 400g, $4.99

7

Kylie said, “Another serial winner, the Seasons Pride Potato Gratin is holding onto its gold medal for another year. As the ultimate Time –Lord option, the gratin is the best way to spruce up a lazy dinner, and considering a four pack is only $4.99, its value stretches longer than the time it takes to cook.”


The Partner in Grime: Di-San Laundry Soaker 1kg, $3.49

7

Kylie said, “The Di-San Laundry Soaker has retained its title of Partner in Grime for the second year running, and it’s no surprise why! It is available in both Pro Oxy Ultra White or Pro Oxy and is a saviour when it comes to lifting tough stains.”

  • Aldi does have some great products, and I have a weakness for their special buys.

  • Off to ALDI I go! I always buy my coffee and washing detergent from ALDI! Great products!

  • They look like amazing products! I wish that Tassie would get an Aldi – even if there was just one in Hobart, it would be a start and I would probably still make the effort to get there a couple times a year. I particularly love the look of the lamb steaks above- yum! I’d be keen to try the laundry stuff too.

  • Love most Aldi products but I do agree and love the Di San. Best stain remover out there.

  • ALDI don’t need new products to get me in, their cheaper prices are what attract me. Wish we had an ALDI close by

  • I’m not an Aldi client.
    Aldi (stylised as ALDI) is the common company brand name of two German multinational family-owned discount supermarket chains operating over 12,000 stores in 18 countries.
    I rather support Australian and local businesses.
    Purchasing Australian made products supports the economy at every level – from creating jobs and allowing Australians to return to their previous jobs to supporting farmers, suppliers and local businesses, increasing tax revenue, reducing the cost of welfare and so much more.


    • Besides this they lack choice in health foods, gluten free-, diary free- and vegetarian foods.
      I have to admit that the Urban Eats Greek Spinach & Cheese Spanakopita looks quite good, but again it’s not gluten free and not diary free and that would mean that several members of our family will not be able to eat what you put on the table.



      • I am in full agreement with you on this Ellen. Most people also want their super to be there for them in retirement and two big stocks in their super are Coles and Woolworths. Aldi doesn’t list on the stock exchange as their profits go back overseas to their parent company and make the German owners richer.

  • I am keen to try the truffle and olive oil chips; they sound yummy.

  • The truffle and olive oil crisps sound amazing but I haven’t been able to find it in store!

  • I haven’t tried any of these products, but I do agree that Aldi has some great products.

  • I have not tried any of these but might have to make a trip to Aldi and check them out. The cheese and crackers and chips look really inviting and perfect for an upcoming event I have on. It is always good to get recommendations like this. Thanks for sharing these items.

  • I can absolutely agree that the di-san prewash treatment spray works so well. I found a beautiful white linen dress at a clothing exchange market that had those horrible yellow wardrobe stains and that spray worked wonders. It’s a fraction of the big brand price.
    The force pro creme cleanser does amazing work on your oven door.
    I haven’t tried the potato gratin but have eyed it off many times, looks like I’ll be picking up a box.
