Perfect for French toast, this breakfast find has been the topic of much conversation. The flaky loaf combines the buttery French pastry in pre-sliced bread form. "The croissant bread has ruined me," said one Redditor. "I've made a grilled [peanut butter and jelly] on it and [French] toast. ... This is by far my favorite." It's mostly an item that pops up in the Aldi Finds section, but some shoppers claim the toast has been in their local store for several months. Apparently, it started making its rounds again this spring. It's currently out of stock online, but is priced around $4.99 in-store.

Move over McGriddle, there's a new competitor in town. Aldi's Breakfast Best Griddle Sandwich came out in June and is already giving the fast food chain a run for its money. "Better than Jimmy Dean or [McDonald's]," said one Facebook commenter in the Aldi Aisle of Shame Community. Each sandwich comes with a sausage patty, egg, and cheese between two small maple pancakes. The griddle sandwiches are currently out of stock online, but are usually priced at $5.49.

Aldi's Never Any! line of products snagged the Good Housekeeping Seal, given for quality assurance and consumer protection, just two years after it launched in 2016. The country-style chicken breakfast sausages are made from chickens raised without antibiotics or added hormones, and are fed a vegetarian diet. These links are also getting rave reviews over on Reddit in many threads. "Those are FANTASTIC," said one commenter. "I got them a month or two ago and have been looking out for them ever since." The sausages are currently out of stock online, but usually cost about $3.65.

Hash brown lovers, this one is for you. Shoppers are raving about the retail chain's 20-pack of frozen hash brown patties. "These are the best ones I have found that crisp up nicely in the air fryer," said one commenter on the Aldi Aisle of Shame Community group on Facebook. "Other brands, especially Great Value[,] were greasy." And by comparison, one hash brown at McDonald's is about $3.19, so you're getting more bang for your buck with this breakfast staple.
