Savoritz Parmesan Rosemary Almond Flour Crackers
![rosemary almond flour crackers](https://cdn.financebuzz.com/filters:quality(75)/images/2024/08/06/rosemary-almond-flour-crackers.jpg)
Price: $2.99
You don’t have to sacrifice taste to get a gluten-free snack. These almond flour crackers are packed with a savory parmesan rosemary flavor. Eat the grain-free crisps as-is or smother them with a spiced hummus spread.
At less than $3 for a 3.5-ounce bag, these crackers are a steal. Whole Foods sells a slightly larger 4.25-ounce pack of Simple Mills rosemary and sea salt almond flour crackers for $2 more than Aldi’s price.
Benton’s Key Lime Cookie Thins
![lime cookie thins](https://cdn.financebuzz.com/filters:quality(75)/images/2024/08/06/lime-cookie-thins.jpg)
Price: $3.69
Add a treat to your regular lunchtime routine. Chunky chocolate chip cookies, fudgy brownies, creamy cheesecakes, and similar desserts are heavy additions to a mid-day meal. Instead of a full-sized sweet, try this lighter option.
These thins are a healthier choice because they don't contain corn syrup, hydrogenated oil, artificial flavors, or preservatives.
Specially Selected Avocado Tomatillo Salsa
![avocado tomatillo salsa](https://cdn.financebuzz.com/filters:quality(75)/images/2024/08/06/avocado-tomatillo-salsa.jpg)
Price: $2.85
This refreshingly tart tomatillo-based salsa pairs perfectly with sandwiches, wraps, salads, and BBQ lunches. Spoon the mild avocado blend onto your main meal or eat as a side with crunchy corn chips.
Compare the $2.85 price of Aldi’s 16-ounce store-brand salsa to $6.89 for the smaller Good Foods 12-ounce version at Target.

Clancy’s Spicy Dill Pickle Wavy Potato Chips
![dill pickle wavy potato chips](https://cdn.financebuzz.com/filters:quality(75)/images/2024/08/06/dill-pickle-wavy-potato-chips.jpg)
Price: $2.19
These aren’t your average chips. Instead of a plain potato taste, this popular Clancy’s pick has a spicy dill pickle flavor that will make your lunch more exciting. Serve the wavy chips with everything from burgers and hot dogs to hoagies and wraps.
You won’t find a chip with the same amped-up spice flavor and ridged texture in other stores for Aldi’s low $2.19 price. Lay’s dill pickle flavor sells for $3.49 at Target.
Clancy’s Ranch Veggie Straws
![ranch veggie straws](https://cdn.financebuzz.com/filters:quality(75)/images/2024/08/06/ranch-veggie-straws.jpg)
Price: $2.69
Get the light, airy texture you love in a veggie straw with a tangy ranch twist. This naturally-flavored snack has 30 percent less fat than the average potato chip, making it a healthier addition to your lunch.
Snag Aldi’s $2.69 deal right now — because the name-brand buys aren’t as budget-friendly. Target sells Sensible Portions Zesty Ranch Garden Veggie Straws for $3.39.
