The eight products Aldi shoppers 'can't live without' in 2025 - and they're ALL under $10

• e-mail

Aldi has announced its eagerly anticipated People's Picks Awards for 2025 - and this year, every single winner is under $10. 

Having polled customers on their 'must-buy' items from a list of 80 shortlisted products in early July, Aldi announced the final winners in the early hours of Wednesday morning. 

They were divided into eight categories: Best Newcomer (new to shelves), Certified Gold (award-winning), BBQ Boss (outdoor entertaining), Socialite (viral sensations), Aussie Made Fave (locally made), Lunchbox Legend (top school picks), Time Lord (higher quality/convenience) and Partner in Grime (cleaning).

In 2024, The People's Picks saw more than 312,000 votes from Aussies; this year more than 382,000 were recorded. Before voting commenced, the shortlist was 'carefully selected' by the Aldi team, who identified 'standout favourites'.

And while there are some notable winners this year, the Urban Eats Spanakopita has been crowned for the third time - a true customer favourite. 

Aldi Australia's Shopping Expert, Kylie Warnke, said the budget-friendly list proved there is something for everyone - from freezer favourites and pantry heroes to everyday essentials. 

'They pack quality, value, and effortless convenience into every meal and household task,' she said, before naming her personal top pick as the Specially Selected Wood Fired Pizza ($7.99).

'Every item on this list has earned its spot because Aussies genuinely love them.'

A new offering at Aldi, Kylie said this pizza, her personal favourite of the winners, 'has all the gourmet feels without the gourmet price'.

'Think hand-stretched dough, a zesty tomato base, melty Fior di Latte mozzarella, slices of full-muscle ham and marinated Aussie mushrooms, all baked to rustic perfection,' she said.

'It is pizzeria-worthy but ready in your own oven in minutes.'
