  • Aldi isn't my family's primary grocery store, but there are a few things I'll always stop there for.
  • I love picking up snacks like Simply Nature PB&J bites and Bake Shop Bakery cheese Danish.
  • I also like to browse the Aldi Finds aisle for fun and unique items.

Although I live relatively close to an Aldi, the store isn't our family's primary grocery stop.

However, we like to shop there for specialty items every couple of months, and regularly keep an eye on the Aldi Finds in the store's weekly ads.

Here are eight items we stock up on for our family of four at Aldi.

Simply Nature PB&J bites are a delicious snack.

Whenever I see the Simply Nature gluten-free PB&J bites at Aldi, I stock up. My kids enjoy snacking on them, and I love the sweet-and-salty flavor.

The Savoritz turtle-shaped cheddar crackers are a fun alternative to Goldfish.

The Savoritz cheddar turtles are very similar in taste to Goldfish and are a fun way to mix up our usual snack selection. The only difference I've found is that they're slightly less puffy than Goldfish.

I love finding unique items in the Aldi Finds section.

I focus a lot of my shopping on the Aldi Finds aisle, which has a rotating selection of fun items. Earlier this year, Aldi had a Disney drop that included Mickey ears, sneakers, pillows, and more.

On my recent trip, I found Disney princess shoes and slippers, some seasonal food items and decor, and multiple Bluey toys.

I love grabbing fruit at Aldi.

I never leave Aldi without fresh fruit, as the store's prices are almost always lower than that of other grocery stores near me.

Aldi carries one of my favorite cheese Danish.

I grew up eating cheese Danish from a small bakery near my grandma's house, and I rarely find anything that comes close in terms of taste.

However, I love the version from Bake Shop Bakery, which has the perfect ratio of filling to pastry.

The store has a fun selection of frozen treats.

Aldi's frozen selection always has fun and unique treats, including seasonal ice-cream pops, which my children love.

At one point, my store even had Barq's frozen root-beer floats in push-pop form.

Aldi has a large selection of seasonal decorations and tableware.

Aldi always has a good selection of indoor and outdoor seasonal decorations.

During my most recent trip, the store had Christmas decorations, cozy blankets, Christmas trees, and holiday plates and serving platters.

Aldi's serving trays are perfect for entertaining — cute and festive but not so precious that I'm concerned about my kids grabbing food off of them.

I always check out Aldi's large selection of gluten-free items.

One of the things I love most about Aldi is the store's large selection of gluten-free items. In addition to the aforementioned Simply Nature PB&J bites, I love grabbing Aldi's liveGfree stuffing.
