Good snacks don’t need big marketing or fancy packaging. Aldi keeps it simple— no inflated branding, no gimmicks—only recognizable flavors, generous sizes, and straightforward pricing. The shelves this May have a strong mix of everyday staples and a few new things worth trying.
If you’re looking to restock your snack drawer without blowing through your weekly grocery budget, here’s a smart place to start.
Clancy’s Parmesan Garlic & Herb Pita Chips

If you want a chip with a firmer texture than a regular chip and actual herb seasoning that holds up, then this one is a solid option. The garlic and herb seasoning actually sticks, and the pita base gives greater bite than a standard cracker. They are especially delicious with dips and don’t go soggy after opening.
Benton’s Lemon Cookie Thins

The lemon flavor in Benton’s Cookies seems natural and doesn’t taste perfumed or synthetic. The snack snaps cleanly and makes a great pair with afternoon tea. It’s light but still offers a quick reset when sugar cravings kick in.

When you have this frozen mix, taco night is a shortcut. The shrimp is pre-cooked, joined by red beans, peppers, and seasoning—all in one bag. Just pour it into a skillet and warm it up. It can fill four tortillas and gives enough protein and fiber to stand in as dinner.
Happy Harvest Sweet Corn

Canned corn isn’t something to rave about, but this one might be. The kernels are bright, slightly sweet, and don’t have that tinny taste that plagues cheaper versions. Each can runs around 68 cents, which makes it one of the easiest pantry staples to stock in bulk.
Fit & Active Cheddar Rice Snacks

These are a cross between rice cakes and chips—only sharper in flavor and easier to portion. The cheddar tastes real, and there’s no lingering film on your hands. Since they’re gluten-free, they work for more people and do not feel like “diet” food.
Southern Grove Retreat Trail Mix

This trail mix skips the candy and goes straight for function. Almonds, cashews, and dark chocolate chunks are all you’ll find inside the 15-ounce bag. The nuts are fresh, the chocolate doesn’t melt too fast, and it delivers energy to hold you over between meals.
BelGioioso Fresh Mozzarella Snacking Cheese

Not every snack needs a crunch—sometimes a soft, salty bite works better. These mozzarella balls come in packs of six, individually wrapped, and are easy to grab from the fridge. They’re creamy, but not too watery, and the portion is satisfying enough not to make you feel too full.
Park Street Deli Dill Pickle Hummus

The base of this Deli Dill Pickle Hummus is smooth and walks the line between briny and creamy. It’s great with plain crackers, celery sticks, or even spread in a sandwich. At just over $2, it’s a low-cost experiment that ends up being a repeat buy.
Specially Selected Raspberry White Chocolate Mousse Cups

Some fridge desserts are full of sugar and little else. The raspberry layer is tart, the mousse has actual body, and the cookie base adds some texture to keep things interesting. It is ready to eat straight from the fridge.
Benton’s Chocolate Chip Cookies

These are for those times you want something classic at a reasonable price. They’re crispy, packed with chips, and surprisingly similar to premium-brand cookies for half the cost. At $2.55, they’re easy to grab as a backup treat or to keep in the pantry when guests come by.
Simply Nature Dark Chocolate-Covered Strawberries

This is Aldi’s version of a higher-end snack—freeze-dried strawberries coated in dark chocolate. They’re light, crunchy, and balance sweet cravings. You can snack on a few without needing a nap right after.
Cheese Club Boxed Mac and Cheese

For 58 cents, this might be the highest-return snack in the store. The cheese sauce blends smoothly, and the pasta cooks fast. It won’t be mistaken for homemade, but it’s easy to customize if you’ve got leftovers to use up.
Northern Catch Chunk Light Tuna

The texture of this tuna is soft but holds together when mixed, and can be paired with stronger ingredients. It’s available in oil or water and costs under a dollar. If you’re watching food costs and still want a decent source of protein, this is worth keeping in rotation for quick, high-protein meals.
Friendly Farms Low-Fat Yogurt Cups

Fruit-flavored yogurt can quickly become too sweet. This one finds a better balance. The blueberry and cherry options actually taste like fruit, and the snack is creamy without being heavy. Real sugar and puree make up the base, not artificial seasoning.
Baker’s Treat Apple Pie

At 99 cents, the Baker’s Treat Apple Pie is a reliable option to stash for those snack cravings that feel like more than just hunger. The crust is sturdy, the filling reminds you of apples instead of sugar, and it stays intact in a bag or lunchbox.
