Aldi reveals the top 10 products of 2020 that customers love

It costs less than a takeaway coffee and has just been named by customers as Aldi’s best product – but surprisingly, it’s not food.

Aldi might be known for its cult Special Buys and bargain food items, but there’s a surprising winner when it comes to the most popular product.

The discount supermarket’s Essential Health Paw Paw Ointment has been named this year’s top item in its annual The People’s Picks after thousands of Aldi customers voted for the skincare product.

The balm can be used for anything from chapped lips to soothing dry and irritated skin – and at $2.79 a tube it costs less than a takeaway coffee.

The ointment was one of 10 Aldi items devoted shoppers said were the supermarket’s best times – and the final list was as diverse as the store’s Special Buys offerings.

Aldi’s Essential Health Paw Paw Ointment was the most voted for item.

Customers could vote in 10 categories such as the MVP (aka most valuable product), The BBQ Boss for the item that is a must-have for outdoor entertaining and The Cleaning Whizz.

Aldi received more than 300,000 votes for this year’s People’s Picks, with eight out of 10 of the chosen few all food products.

Making the cut were Aldi’s The Fishmonger Fresh Salmon Fillet 4pk, Emporium Selection Brie or Camembert Cheese and the Beautifully Butterfully Salted Butter.

The stain remover was named Aldi’s best cleaning product.

Aldi’s butter was named the store’s MVP – most valuable product.

Along with the Essential Health Paw Paw Ointment, cleaning product Di San Oxy Action PreWash Stain Remover was the only other non-food product to make the cut.

Aldi shopping expert Nicole Higgins said the supermarket loves “seeing our customers share their rave reviews”.

“Once a product is on the shelf, we are certain that it is of the highest quality, for a fraction of the price,” she said.

“The People’s Picks is our way of saying, ‘You don’t have to take our word for it!’”

The People’s Picks will be highlighted in store by a blue icon placed next to the products that have been given the tick of approval by shoppers.
