5 Aldi products that are superior to name brands

Try the Elevation Only bars if you're looking for a delicious snack or an easy energy bar. These nut-based bars, which are offered in three flavors and all contain dark chocolate, are comparable to Kind bars.

In addition to being reasonably priced at less than 50 cents apiece, they are also gluten-free at the Aldi store near me. These bars include 4 to 8 grams of protein and low salt and trans fat content.

No time to make a Key Lime Pie but a sweet tooth? Try Key lime-flavored Benton's Cookie Thins. They are a household favorite in my home.

[{"selector":"#anim-7d764aad-96f5-4154-a64f-257da4c055d5 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(35.47219660302232%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

Benton's Cookie Thins are manufactured without synthetic flavors, high-fructose corn syrup, or other hydrogenated oils, much like the Thinsters brand of cookie thins. At my Aldi, Benton's crunchy cookies cost just under $3 a bag and are flavorful. They also come in various flavors.

[{"selector":"#anim-6fd29bde-b4e8-463b-8c9c-32d7a1bd2288 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(35.47219660302232%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

Everyone enjoys a good saltine cracker. The Savoritz brand of saltines, which cost less than $2 a box at my local Aldi, are great with your favorite soup or as a quick snack with cheese or peanut butter.

[{"selector":"#anim-5da1759e-3e67-4dac-aa3a-74d2e59c210c [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(31.247834759191807%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

These crackers are crunchy and light, with a hint of salt similar to the widely known Nabisco variety.

[{"selector":"#anim-29c4391f-fe32-4082-a01b-fe8641ecd75e [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(31.247834759191807%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

Both young children and adults love graham crackers in teddy bear shapes, such as Nabisco's Teddy Grahams. No matter if you prefer the chocolate or honey flavor, Benton's Mini Bear Grahams from Aldi are reasonably priced.

[{"selector":"#anim-9bcb2918-61a2-449f-959a-d02dd2fa6185 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(62.49999977245145%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

Additionally, each box has 12 snack packs that each include 8 grams of whole grain. These can be included in the kids' lunches without having to worry about high-fructose corn syrup or nut allergies.

[{"selector":"#anim-27f2c1c1-6abb-4ddb-97b5-3b902e30445a [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(62.49999977245145%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

Having food available is a challenge for me because I have two teenage sons at home. Despite having a high salt content, beef jerky is a high-protein snack. Under the Simms name, Aldi offers a variety of flavors.

[{"selector":"#anim-d5295153-8309-469b-a69f-1a6902795136 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(28.90624987200394%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

They cost little over $3 per bag at my Aldi, making them slightly more affordable than well-known names like Jack Link's. The Simms teriyaki-flavored jerky has 10 grams of protein per serving and 8 grams of total sugar, but it is manufactured entirely of natural ingredients.

[{"selector":"#anim-96834969-5e95-4bab-9d49-53339b13cf5f [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(28.90624987200394%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]
