In 2024, customers could not get enough of many tried-and-true grocery items that line Aldi's shelves. Shoppers took to the internet to let their voices be heard, and many did not shy away from letting others know exactly what to add to their shopping cart the next time they make a grocery run at Aldi.

The following products are all the rage at Aldi in 2024. If you are new to shopping at Aldi, be sure to keep these products on your grocery list and check them out for yourself. These span the entire store, from snacks to frozen meals.
