I’ve always liked Aldi, but the store became an essential stop when my 2 kids were born. Here are 10 things I get to make easy meals.

• I like to make easy meals for my family of four with ingredients from my local UK Aldi.
• I use the Brooklea Greek-style natural yogurt to make a tzatziki dip.
• My daughter loves to add sauce and different toppings to the Ready, Set … Cook! pizza dough.

Before having kids, my partner and I liked going to the grocery store to pick up fancy meats and meal kits. But now that we have two children to feed, we balance those pricier shopping sprees with budget-friendly finds at Aldi.

When I stop at the store — named the UK’s cheapest supermarket in September 2024 by the consumer group Which — I always find a great selection of high-quality items to choose from.
