As the calendar pages turn, it's that special time of year when ALDI rolls out its special announcement.

The beloved supermarket chain has just unveiled its annual customer-voted awards, The People’s Picks and this year's lineup is more enticing than ever.

With a whopping 80 products making the cut, it's clear that ALDI continues to charm shoppers with its unique blend of quality and value.

But what's truly remarkable is the shift in shopping habits that ALDI has observed. New data has revealed a significant 5.1 per cent increase in households turning to ALDI for their grocery needs.

This isn't just a fleeting trend; it's a testament to the supermarket's growing appeal among Australians seeking savings and satisfaction in their shopping experience.

The People’s Picks awards, now in their sixth year, are more than just a list of popular items; they're a reflection of what ALDI shoppers hold dear.

From pantry staples to indulgent treats, the top 80 products span a range of categories that cater to every aspect of daily life. And with prices starting from $0.69, it's no wonder these items have been crowned the cream of the crop.

This year, ALDI has spiced things up with two brand-new categories: The Best Newcomer, showcasing the latest additions to ALDI's shelves, and Certified Gold, highlighting the top award-winning products.

These categories join the ranks of The BBQ Boss, The Socialite, The Aussie Made Fave, The Lunchbox Legend, The Time Lord, and The Partner in Grime, ensuring that every facet of the ALDI shopping experience is celebrated.

The People’s Picks isn't just for the ALDI aficionados; it's also a golden guide for newcomers to the ALDI family.

The surge in ALDI's popularity is further underscored by an 8 per cent increase in customer trips over the past three months.

It's clear that Australians are not only visiting ALDI more frequently but are also leaving with fuller trolleys and happier wallets.



ALDI Australia’s Shopping Expert, Kylie Warnke, shared the excitement.

When I lived in Germany there was Aldi and I think Liddle and several others, but only went to Aldi and Liddle. The others were huge warehouse stores, but all I needed was foods for me, wife and 2 girls. Aldi is different here to what it was then, 1997.
if only Coles and Woolworths were good companies and nit just pandering to the stock holders things could be much better.
I have sold all my shares in Coles and Woolworths as I think they are basically poisonous

Since ALDI came to Victoria Australia, my husband and l have shopped there. We have saved a lot of money shopping at ALDI and the food is excellent quality. You can't beat the meat that is sold at ALDi. We love the lamb roasts, sliverside, free range chickens and the variety of Australian veggies sold there. We also really enjoy the salmon fillets both fresh and frozen.
ALDI cares about it's customers and doesn't rip off hardworking citizens like Woolworth and Coles does.
Thank-you ALDI we wouldn't shop anywhere else.
