Grocery Shopping Just Got a Whole Lot Easier

As the demand for vegan and plant-based options continues to rise, traditional grocery stores are stepping up their game. One store that’s often overlooked but deserves some serious attention is Aldi. Yes, you read that right – Aldi! This budget-friendly grocery chain has come a long way since its humble beginnings, and its vegan and vegetarian line, “Earth Grown,” is a game-changer.

A Week’s Worth of Groceries on a Budget

I decided to put Aldi to the test and see what a week’s worth of groceries would look like. I spent $78 on a haul that included everything from fresh produce to frozen foods, beverages, and snacks. And the best part? I didn’t have to break the bank.

Produce Galore

Aldi’s produce section is often underrated, but trust me, it’s a hidden gem. I scored fresh strawberries for just $1.50 and Guajillo chilies that are perfect for making Birria tacos and tamales. Whether you’re a vegan or not, Aldi’s produce is consistently fresh and affordable.

Cold & Frozen Foods That Will Surprise You

Aldi’s “Earth Grown” line offers some amazing vegan options, including tofu and vegan yogurts. I was excited to see these products at such an affordable price point. And let’s not forget about the versatility of these items – you can use them in everything from breakfast to dessert.

Beverages to Get Excited About

I’m a fan of pressed juice, so I was thrilled to see Aldi’s selection of juices. And if you’re a coffee lover like me, you’ll appreciate their vegan caramel coffee creamer. Yes, you read that right – vegan caramel coffee creamer!

Jar and Canned Foods That Are Vegan-Friendly

Aldi carries a range of vegan-friendly salad dressings, including a delicious Greek vinaigrette. I used it to make a quick and easy Greek salad that was simply divine.

Breads, Grains, and Snacks That Will Become Your New Favorites

Aldi’s Coconut Cashew Crisps are a unique but tasty snack, and their Artisan Flatbread is a game-changer. It’s vegan-friendly and perfect for making pizza at home. Just top it with hummus, sliced onion, minced garlic, sundried tomatoes, mushrooms, banana peppers, and vegan mozzarella, and you’re good to go!
