Explore ALDI's top 10 exciting finds of 2024 as meal prep trend sweeps Australia!

As the cost of living continues to rise, Australians always seek ways to stretch their dollars further without compromising quality or taste.

That's where ALDI Australia steps in, offering a range of products that fit the budget and keep up with the latest food trends.

In 2024, ALDI once again impressed shoppers with its top 10 best new buys, and an emerging trend is catching everyone's attention: meal prep made easy and affordable.


The annual People's Picks awards are just around the corner, and ALDI has unveiled the 'Best Newcomer' category and highlighted the most popular additions to its budget-friendly lineup.

Meal prep has become a significant trend among shoppers. It offers a convenient way to plan and prepare meals for the week ahead, saving time and reducing food waste.

ALDI's new range caters to this trend with various 'fakeaway' meal kits and ready-to-cook options that mimic restaurant-quality meals without the hefty price tag.

For instance, the butter chicken meal kit at $3.99, Angus beef thin crust pizza at $5.99, and crumbed or battered fish fillets at $6.99 are all examples of how ALDI makes gourmet dining accessible at home.

Meal kits, such as the Chicken Pad Thai, have garnered a following online, proving that ALDI can satisfy its customers' cravings while also providing convenience.


These kits are perfect for busy weeknights when short, but the desire for a delicious, home-cooked meal is strong.

But dinner is not the only item getting a budget-friendly makeover. ALDI's new product range includes items for all times of the day.

The tinned beans at $1.19 are a versatile staple for any pantry, while the sugar-free passionfruit energy drinks at $3.99 offer a refreshing pick-me-up.

For those looking to add a touch of luxury to their meals, the truffle olive oil potato chips at $3.49 are a gourmet snack that won't break the bank.

Health-conscious shoppers haven't been forgotten either. At $4.99 each, beef and chicken bone broths provide a nourishing base for soups and stews or a comforting drink.


And for dessert lovers, ALDI introduced indulgent treats like yoghurt chocolate honeycomb fudge and yoghurt cookies and cream, priced at $2.69.

The affordability of these products, with prices starting as low as 69c for a pack of yoghurt, is a significant drawcard for shoppers.

ALDI is committed to offering quality products at prices that allow customers to indulge without compromising their budgets.

Customers can show their love for these new products by voting for their favourites until 21 August.


The shortlist of 80 items spans eight categories, ensuring something for everyone.

ALDI Australia's Shopping Expert, Kylie Warnke, expressed excitement at seeing classic items and new products receive recognition.

‘We love to see classic items like the Greek Spinach & Cheese Spanakopita and The Best Margarita Pizza Ever return as finalists year after year,’

‘We can also cheer on new products making their debut, such as the Kapiti Passion Fruit and Kamahi Honey Ice cream and the Café Series Salt & Pepper Tempura Barramundi,’ she said.


In related news, ALDI Australia won 18 awards at the Dairy Industry Association of Australia awards, showcasing the excellence of their cheese and dairy products.

Cheeses priced under $10 stood out, with the Emporium Selection Cheese Fetta Persian and Emporium Selection Cheese Fetta Marinated earning gold awards. More details can be found here.
