Aldi offers all sorts of products at low prices, but since more than 90% of the store is stocked with Aldi’s own brands, it can feel like a bit of a mystery to know exactly what’s worth buying. To find out the best Aldi products, we went straight to the source: Aldi’s die-hard fans.
The products on this list were named by actual Aldi shoppers as the best things to buy in 2023, and all have earned top honors in various categories. Aldi has awarded these “Fan Favorites” honors to various products ever since 2019. And it’s become sort of an annual tradition to look forward to the new list.
Remember — even if you’re the pickiest of eaters, you can try out new Aldi products and return anything you’re not 100% happy with. This is thanks to the generous Aldi Return Policy. With their “Twice as Nice” guarantee, they’ll replace any item or give you a full refund. No questions asked.
Let’s take a look at these best Aldi products of 2023. I’ve even included some price comparisons to Walmart, so you can see how they stack up.

Best Aldi Products, According to the 2023 Fan Favorites List
Best Dairy Products Under $6:
- Friendly Farms Cottage Cheese: TikTok made it famous, and it’s available year-round. This fridge staple is both affordable and tasty. The Aldi brand is $2.65 for a 24-oz container, which is pretty similar to the price at Walmart: $2.58 for the 24-oz Great Value Cottage Cheese.
- Friendly Farms Low Sugar Greek Yogurt: Awarded the “Rookie of the Year” award, this low-sugar Greek yogurt is a hit for healthy eaters, with only 2 grams of sugar per serving. You get a 32-oz container for $5.65 (or $0.18 per ounce). A comparable yogurt would be the Two Good brand, which Walmart only sells in an individual serving of 5.3 oz at $1.28, making it $0.24 per ounce.
- Happy Farms String Cheese: Great for snacks and packed lunches, this string cheese is a crowd-pleaser. The 12-pack of cheese sticks is $2.85. A 12-pack from Walmart will cost you $2.84, so the price is pretty comparable.
- Emporium Selection Fresh Mozzarella: This fresh mozzarella is a budget-friendly choice for your next caprese salad. Aldi sells a fresh mozzarella ball and fresh mozzarella pre-sliced log for $3.65 — both weighing in at 8 oz. By comparison, Walmart sells an 8-oz sliced log for $3.94.
Best Fresh Foods:
- Avocados: Named the “Cream of the Crop” by fans, Aldi’s avocados are consistently fresh. Aldi offers individual large avocados for $1.05 and a bag of six mini avocados for $4.39.
- Kirkwood Fresh Chicken: This high-quality chicken comes at a price that’s hard to beat. You can get Aldi’s skinless chicken thighs for $2.99 per pound. At Walmart, a similar-sized package is $3.48 per pound.
Best Grab-and-Go Finds:
- Mama Cozzi’s Pizza Kitchen Take and Bake Deli Pizza: This take-and-bake pizza is a quick dinner solution, available in cheese, pepperoni, mega meat, and supreme flavors.

Aldi runs a survey every year to determine the top products loved by shoppers.
Ever since 2019, Aldi has surveyed their shoppers to find out the top fan favorites for that year. We often see certain items pop up on the list year after year (like Mama Cozzi’s Pizza Kitchen Take and Bake Deli Pizza), but others are completely new. Once an item makes the cut for the Fan Favorites list, it gets a special designation (a heart-shaped sticker) on its tag.
TIP: If you order Aldi groceries delivery via DoorDash, add three or more of the 2023 Fan Favorite items to your cart and get a $10 discount on your order.
Look for the “Aldi Fan Favorites 2023” seal in the weekly ad and in the store.
