Aldi's Vegan List

 ALDI'S- Can you vegan it?

I find that a lot of people think that Aldi's is a store for people who are looking for expired goods for cheap, or that they don't have enough money to shop at a "fancier" store like Wegmans or Tops. However, when you step into an Aldi's there is a certain charm about it. As if you are going on a treasure hunt for fun food and an amazing price.

There is no bull-#$%^. You won't accidentally get to the register with a bunch of stuff you don't need.  As a vegan (and a loose vegan at that) I have composed a list of vegan goods.

Friendly Farms Almond Milk- Vanilla or Plain
Fit and Active Organic Soymilk- Vanilla or Plain
Lemon Juice
Fresh Salsa
Hummus (garlic, roasted red pepper, plain)
Hummus Quartet
Guacamole
Sometimes they have Boathouse Farm smoothies!
Deutsche Kuche German Bread ( Rye, Pumpernickel, Sunflower Seed)
whole wheat pasta
whole wheat gnocchi
rice (fit and active brown rice)
bags of beans
fat free refried beans ( full fat has lard)
Boca Vegan burgers
Simply Nature Organic Apple Juice
Simply Nature Organic Pasta Sauce
Deutsche Kuche Muesli Cereal
real vanilla extract
baking soda
baking powder
basic spices
pecan halves
walnuts
pistachios
almonds
dry-roasted almonds
sweet potato chips
blue corn chips
baked potato chips Clancy’s brand
simply nature tomato basil GF chips
Sea Salt Pita Chips
raisins
cranberries
apricots
Fit & Active light balsamic vinaigrette
real maple syrup
granola
oatmeal
canned pumpkin
jarred artichokes
canned diced, crushed tomatoes
canned beans
veggie broth
Fruit Pops ( I believe Grandessa)
Frozen Dark Chocolate covered Bananas
Edamame
Diced Potatoes and Peppers (Frozen)
Frozen fruit for smoothies
Frozen green beans
Organic Fair Trade Coffee and Tea ( they even have K CUPS)

Best produce: BUY IN SEASON  and inspect carefully
But my top picks are pineapple, avocado, mangoes, lemons, limes, bananas

Unfortunately the bread (besides the German bread) is all made with milk

So bring your quarter for a cart and your own shopping bags and you’re set. And don’t forget to buy fresh cut flowers for $3.99 to brighten up your week! You may find some real treasures for cheap.

(PS please double check all labels before purchasing. Sometimes they change the items and there are some items that were made around milk or eggs. It’s just a good idea to double check.)
