Are you a foodie? Or a food snob? You probably prefer the term "health conscious." 😊 More specifically do you like to buy organic items? I must admit, I'm far from perfect when it comes to eating healthily, and I'm not a food snob, but when I can afford it, I like to buy organic.
What is organic? Well when you see the label "organic," it means the item must have an ingredients list and the contents should be 95% or more certified organic, meaning free of synthetic additives like pesticides, chemical fertilizers, and dyes, and must not be processed using industrial solvents, irradiation, or genetic engineering, according to the USDA.
At most stores organic food is sooooo expensive!!! Am I right?
The reason Aldi saves you so much money is because they keep their overhead down. No bagger, no cart collector, the customer does that them self. The cashier is also in charge of stocking, inventory, cleaning, ect. They don't pay separately for those jobs. It translates to more money in your pocket! :)

You may not think of Aldi as a viable option, especially if you haven't been there in a few years. Today, though, I want to tell you about Aldi's organic line!! You probably won't find organic food any cheaper than this!! Since I like lists, I will share a list of organic foods I found at my local Aldi!
Some of the items I bought at my last trip there, and some I already have in stock at home. The things I just purchased I can share the price on because I have the receipt. Prices may vary in different areas though. ;) 🍌🍞🍎🍴🍐
Organic salad ($3.49) and salad dressing. There are a couple varieties of salad and several varieties of dressing. I you're heath conscious, you know how important it is to eat your leafy greens.
Organic bread ($3.99) As of right now there are 2 varieties of organic bread. This one is called "Oat So Healthy"!
Organic mac-n-cheese ($1.15) Who doesn't love mac-n-cheese? This is around the same price as Kraft!!
Organic broth Great for making soups or stuffing around Thanksgiving, these are only $1.49 each!
Organic tortilla chips and salsa Can't forget a yummy snack! The chips were $1.99 and the Salsa was also $1.99!
Organic oils Did you know most times you buy canola oil, it's a gmo product? Also I'm sure you've heard of the myriad healthy uses for olive and coconut oil. I already had the canola oil here. It's not always in stock, so when I see it at Aldi, I usually buy several, and I can't remember the price. The olive oil was $3.99 and the coconut oil was only $4.99!!
Organic condiments The ketchup was $1.69. I believe they carry organic mustard too.
Organic juices If you have kids, you know how much they love juice. Apple juice was $2.29 and the 7 Super Fruits juice is $3.89. They have a juice similar to the super fruit juice called "Antioxidant Blend" for the same price. I've seen organic orange juice there as well. :)
Organic oatmeal Definitely a comfort food on cold winter mornings. Here they have organic rolled oats and flavored maple spice ($2.29). Yum!!
Organic produce pears ($2.89 for a 2 lb. bag), organic baby carrots ($1.39 for a 1 lb. bag), organic bananas at 59¢/lb. And a 3 lb. bag of organic gala apples for $3.99!! There are many other fresh organic fruits and vegetables there as well: organic celery, oranges, whole carrots, broccoli. One thing I've never found are organic potatoes which would be nice because potatoes are usually sprayed with not just pesticides, but also herbicides to kill the top plant upon harvest time. Maybe some day...
Organic apple cider vinegar I'm sure you've heard of the super tonic including apple cider vinegar, honey, turmeric and cayenne pepper? There are really many helpful used for this, and a 16 oz bottle is only 1.99!
Organic herbs and spices Hey! Speaking of cayenne pepper... I already had these in my cupboard, but I think they were only a couple of dollars each.
Organic spaghetti sauce In the mood for Italian tonight? Organic pasta sauce is only $2.19. Aldi carries this and regular marinara for the same price!
Organic milk I was once told if you buy anything organic make it be organic dairy products. Everything the cow eats gets condensed into the milk, even more so if it's converted into cheese or butter. I have seen organic cheese there, but not this time. This half gallon of organic milk was $2.95.
Organic frozen blueberries and strawberries These are great for smoothies!! $2.89 for a 12 oz bag.
Organic grass fed ground beef Kinda pricey at $5.29/lb. but probably more expensive elsewhere if organic meat is important to you.
So there's my list. 😃 I'm sure if you shopped there you won't be disappointed. As I said before some items may be seasonal, and these prices are from my local store. They may be slightly different depending on location.
Oh, and I am in no way affiliated with Aldi haha, although I'm sure they would appreciate the free advertising. 😂 I'm just excited about this and wanted to share it with you!! Hope you found it beneficial!
