With only a day of September left, I can practically taste October right now—and thanks to all the flavors on Aldi shelves this week, all I need to do is take a trip to my favorite grocery store to literally taste it. Each week, the store stocks shelves with limited-time finds, and this time, the aisles are especially worth perusing if fall is your favorite season. There’s no denying that Aldi knows how to ring in spooky season, with everything from cozy Halloween footwear to pumpkin spice yogurt.
We’re rounding up five of the top Aldi Finds of the week below. Happy shopping!
Women Are Swapping Their Boring Water For This Ice Pop Electrolyte Mix!
1. Halloween Slippers - $4.99
Stay cozy and spooky this Halloween with these unbelievably cute slippers from Aldi. There's nothing like curling up on the couch with a nostalgic, scary movie during October—and you'll need the right attire to stay comfy and festive while doing it if you really want to embrace the Halloween spirit. In addition to whatever fall sweaters you're currently unpacking from storage, a great pair of novelty slippers will really do the trick.
This week, Aldi is stocking shelves with three different spook-tastic options: puppies popping out of Jack-o-lanterns (My personal favorite, because, hello. Adorable!), some classic black bats flying around, and some seriously cute ghosties on a pink background. Why not get some for the whole family? It can be a new tradition.
2. Emporium Select Halloween Cheese - $4.49
Say cheese! I look forward to Aldi's holiday cheeses each year—mostly because they're just a good, festive excuse to put together a delicious charcuterie board. I mean, who can resist a themed snack? I certainly can't. Right now, you can choose from four delicious, spooky flavors: Bat Knit Crazy Aged Cheddar, Death by Garlic Cheddar, Freaky Franken Sage Derby, and Scary Pumpkin Spice Wensleydale Cheese.
Pumpkin spice in your cheese? It's more likely than you think, and you shouldn't knock it 'til you try it. Reddit users also say that the Freaky Franken Cheese Derby is "the goat," and isn't that the greatest praise ever?
3. Chocolate Haunted House Cookie Kit - $9.99
Who says you have to wait 'til Christmas to build a house out of cookies? Aldi has introduced a new tradition: Chocolate cookie haunted houses. For just around $10, their kit comes with everything you need to put together the spookiest (mini) home in the neighborhood: pre-baked chocolate cookies, icing, and candy for decorating. The only struggle will be resisting the temptation of eating all of your supplies before the house is finished.
In past years, Reddit users have given this kit two thumbs up. One poster reviewed: "The cookie pieces are solid, the icing sticks well, and we couldn't stop sneaking licks. Definitely a fun spooky activity to watch with Harry Potter on in the background!"
4. Pet Costumes - $6.99
Humans aren't the only ones who get to dress up. Halloween is for all creatures, and it's time you let Fido in on the fun and festivities. Whether you need a sidekick to complete your own costume or just want to give your furry friend his own chance to shine, there's nothing as cute as a pet in a Halloween costume.
This week at Aldi, you can grab adorable costumes to suit a range of pet personalities. Get ultra-adorable with a bright yellow banana, keep things spooky with a Dracula get-up, or go with the downright silly choice: a taco, of course. No matter which you pick, they're $6.99 each—so Lassie could even afford some outfit changes.
5. Chobani Flip Pumpkin Harvest Crisp - $5.57
Call me basic, but I love pumpkin spice season. However, when I'm trying to stick to my health goals (boring but necessary, unfortunately), I know that indulging in a PSL every morning isn't going to cut it. But the good news is that there's a compromise to please both my taste buds and the rest of my body: pumpkin-forward yogurts! These Chobani Flip cups are honestly heaven-sent for that reason.
Not only are these delicious, complete with oatmeal pastry pieces, icing chunks, and cinnamon frosted cookies (it practically tastes like dessert!) but the pumpkin spice-flavored Greek yogurt is also a great source of protein without loading up on fat and calories. God bless Chobani—and Aldi, where you can stock up on 4-packs for $5.57 right now.
