When a new budget‑friendly vegan option lands on the shelves, we’re always curious to see whether it’s worth adding to the weekly shop.

Veganuary is officially underway, and Aldi has come out of the gate strong with a fresh wave of plant‑based products announced in their latest press release. If you’re looking to try more vegan options this January — or you’re already plant‑powered all year round — this is a launch worth…
