What Is Aldi's Aisle of Shame?

Many shoppers refer to Aldi’s Aldi Finds aisle as the “Aisle of Shame.” But more specifically, the Aldi Finds aisle featuring home goods and lifestyle products—not the food section.

Yes, every month, we share the best food items coming to the Aldi Finds section. However, those aren’t the items you’d find in the “Aisle of Shame” because there’s no shame in stocking up on seven bags of your favorite limited-time potato chips (we’re looking at you, Clancy’s Cheddar & Sour Cream Baked Chips).

Instead, the “Aisle of Shame” is where you find things like Dutch ovens, candles, throw blankets, shoes, patio decor, and much more.

In reality, there’s no shame in buying any of these items either—in fact, we encourage it because Aldi’s products are high quality, and most of them are dupes for expensive name-brand items. But shoppers call it the “Aisle of Shame” because customers tend to lose all self-control when they enter the aisle.

I just like the no-nonsense shopping. When Ald first came to our area, a couple people I know looked down at me for shopping there. Now, they are converts! Sure, Aldi doesn't have everything, but I save a lot of money and time shopping there. Plus there are those interesting products that you won't see in the big box stores.
