ALDI Vegetarian List 

It’s a myth that you have to spend a fortune when you’re following a meat free diet. Not only are many vegetarian friendly foods also budget friendly, but shopping at stores like ALDI can really help you save even more. 

 

In this post you’ll find the definitive ALDI Vegetarian List of items to pop on your shopping list and look out for the next time you’re at ALDI. This is useful whether you’re a vegetarian, thinking about become a vegetarian or just wanting to incorporate more meat free meals in your diet. 

Important Note: If you’re vegetarian, or shopping for someone who is, just be sure to read the ingredients carefully to ensure the product is vegetarian. (And best to do so regularly as ingredients can change on old favourites.)

Super 6 Fruit and Vegetables at ALDI

In my ALDI, there are weekly specials where 6 fruit and veg items are reduced to as little as 49 cents. 

On the week I visited, the super 6 included: 

  • Grapes for 79 cents
  • Sugar Snap Peas for 49 cents 
  • Bananas for 79 cents
  • Pears for 79 cents
  • Cherry Tomatoes for 49 cents
  • Green Beans for 49 cents

I tend to start by loading my trolley with the above in season produce and then working my weekly menu around the budget bounty. I then explore the store and make up the rest of my meals with whatever looks appealing.  

You can go online and find your local ALDI and what’s on special in your area and then plan your shop and meals accordingly.
