I'm a recent college grad who keeps my grocery bill to $30 a week. Here are 9 Aldi items I always buy.

I'm 22 and spend $30 every week on groceries at Aldi. I always pick up the Clancy's jalapeño kettle chips and the Season's Choice broccoli florets.

I am a recent college graduate who keeps my grocery bill to $30 a week. I shop at Aldi for all my needs and find the store's fruit selection reasonably priced, offering the best value. One of my favorite snacks is Clancy's jalapeño kettle chips, priced at $2 per bag. As a newly postgraduate 22-year-old, I am proud to spend roughly $30 a week on groceries, allocating funds for fun snacks, drinks, produce, and desserts.

To ensure the best value, I occasionally buy items in bulk and take advantage of Aldi's weekly specials. Here are nine of my favorite Aldi items, prices which may vary by location.

The Friendly Farms nonfat Greek yogurt is a must-have for me. At $3 for a 32-ounce container, it provides 17 grams of protein per serving, lasting in my fridge for a while. BelGioioso fresh mozzarella is another favorite snack, priced at $4 per pack. Aldi's cucumbers are an excellent size and taste, coming in at $0.75 each. I particularly enjoy cucumber salad, making these a great value.

Season's Choice steamed frozen broccoli florets are a staple in my household, costing $1 per bag and offering high quality among store brands.

Clancy's jalapeño kettle chips remain my go-to chips for their spiciness. Moser Roth chocolate bars are my favorite sweet treat, costing $3 per bar, which I enjoy on their own or added to oatmeal or yogurt bowls. Earth Grown extra-firm organic tofu has a great flavor and is packed with protein, priced at $2 per pack. I keep it frozen and cook it with cornstarch.

Dakota's Pride garbanzo beans are essential in my cooking, with one can under $1. Aldi's fruit selection is an incredible value, with strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, and blackberries at reasonable prices, offering the best value among grocery stores I've visited. Recently, I purchased La Bella Vita strawberries for $2.
