According to a January 2025 report from Aldi, as much as 76% of their customers believe that Aldi branded products are as good as any brand name, and twice as many people surveyed said Aldi consistently outdoes the competition. Not only does Aldi ensure consumer happiness, but it also saves them money — with a total collective consumer savings of $8.3 billion per year. Thanks to the major impacts of inflation, some 25% of U.S. households have become Aldi customers, with a family of four potentially saving as much as $4,000 per year on grocery bills by shopping there. While any glowing analysis of a company that is coming directly from that company should be taken with a grain of salt, assuming it's accuracy, Aldi shoppers can save an average 36% more money per shopping trip than by shopping elsewhere. In fact, you can save even more at Aldi with just a few clever money saving tricks.

Like their competitors, Aldi sells items beyond groceries, including kitchen appliances. There are a few specific kitchen appliances, in particular, that are both cheap and high quality. While these items will surely make your life in the kitchen easier, they may also save you money in unexpected ways.

If you're a home baker and kitchen counter space is an issue, or your energy bills cause additional stress, owning a large expensive mixer may not make the most sense. A reasonable hack for this is a cordless mixer that you can operate easily, and that is small enough to can store in a kitchen cabinet or drawer. This is where Aldi's Ambiano 5-Speed Cordless Hand Mixer comes in.

Retailing for $14.99, the mixer replicates the power of a more traditional mixer but is lightweight enough for kids to use. The mixer comes with two beaters and a USB charging cord with a battery indicator that gauges your power. The battery indicator and USB charging cord can help you slash your power bill. The mixer is also dishwasher safe, and per Homeguide, using a dishwasher versus washing dishes by hand can save you an average of up to $72 per year. Per Aldi Reviewer, the mixer exists only as an Aldi Find, meaning it's only available in stores and once they're out of stock, they're out of stock for good.

Aldi's 2 Cup Rice Cooker offers just enough rice for a single or dual person household invested in limiting food waste by controlling portions. According to a United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) report, updated in April 2025, the average annual cost of food waste in the U.S. is $728 per person. So financially speaking, there's a benefit to a smaller household owning a more compact rice cooker. 

This compact rice cooker takes up less space in a cramped kitchen, and is an Aldi Find, so finding it in your local Aldi may involve a little luck. It's designed with a tempered glass lid that allows you to see your rice's progress without letting any heat escape, and although Aldi's rice cooker is billed specifically as a rice cooker, it's also a multipurpose kitchen appliance that can handle cooking other grains like oatmeal or quinoa. That's pretty impressive for $14.99, especially considering 2 cup rice cookers on Amazon are going for around $21.99 up to as much as $119.99.

One way to take advantage of cheap meat at Aldi is to source an Aldi brand Ambiano Electric Griddle to cook it. Whether bacon and breakfast sausage, or ground beef for burgers, this portable griddle can serve up a meal for one or several people anywhere you can access to an electrical outlet thanks to its 20.4 inch width and 10.5 inch length. The griddle has a non-stick coating and retrievable drip tray for easier clean up and maintenance. If you're not a fan of grease, and own a dishwasher, the drip tray is dishwasher safe. 

Cleaning and caring for your griddle will hopefully stave off the need to activate your three-year warranty, although it's nice to have anyway. Seven adjustable heating settings make it easy to heat up leftovers or prepare a meal from scratch while cool side handles, and a non-slip foundation, helps you avoid sliding, splashing, or even getting burned if you need to move the griddle for any reason. Aldi's electric griddle retails for $19.99. At Walmart, comparable electric griddles retail for just over $21 on the low end, while on Amazon, the cheapest comparable griddle is selling for just under $23. Either way, Aldi's option comes out on top.
