Aldi is one of the most affordable supermarkets in the UK, and it’s also surprisingly good for keto shopping. With a range of quality meats, full-fat dairy, low-carb vegetables and keto-friendly store-cupboard items, Aldi can help you eat keto on a tight budget.
Aldi’s meat range offers excellent value for keto dieters. Look for: chicken thighs (bone-in and boneless), beef mince (20% fat), pork belly slices, lamb chops, smoked salmon, tinned mackerel and sardines, and eggs. Aldi’s fresh fish counter (when available) is excellent and affordable.
Aldi stocks a great range of full-fat dairy: butter, double cream, mature cheddar, soft cheese, brie, camembert, feta, and Greek yoghurt. These are all keto staples at prices that beat most major supermarkets.
Aldi’s fresh produce section regularly stocks keto-friendly vegetables at low prices: spinach, broccoli, cauliflower, courgette, cucumber, peppers, mushrooms and avocados. Frozen vegetables are also excellent value — frozen spinach and broccoli are particularly useful for keto cooking.
Keep an eye out in Aldi’s Special Buys (Specialbuys) section for keto-friendly items like nuts, nut butters, MCT oil and low-carb snacks. The regular range includes almond flour (sometimes), coconut oil, olive oil and apple cider vinegar.
