ALDI Finds on an odd holiday week

Our weekly ALDI Finds post is again a little different on this odd holiday week. I can’t linger in stores to take photos (the broth pictured above is from my own pantry…), sales aren’t quite the same, product availability will vary, and we’re all focusing on essentials right now.

• Check out the “ALDI Finds” and current weekly ad tabs (or mobile menu choices) on the ALDI site, to window shop from home.
• If you’re planning an in-store shopping trip because you need to stock back up on food, use that online ad to help determine what you’ll grab and purchase if you do see it in the store, rather than lingering to browse the aisles.

That being said, here’s what I’d hope to see at my store from this week’s ad. As always, prices may vary by store and region. Oh, and I am always happy to see that SimplyNature organic broth on sale — it’s on price drop at $1.49 in this week’s ad.

ALDI Food Finds

So, let’s talk ALDI Food Finds this week, featuring mostly Easter baking & cooking products.

While we’re all at home baking, Countryside Creamery butter is on sale. My paper ad says “see price in store,” while my online ad lists it at $2.29. What’s it running in your area?

As far as meat sales this week, Appleton Farms spiral-sliced half hams are on sale. My own online ad lists these at $.85/lb, but check yours. Here are a couple of ideas for that ham:

• How to make ham in a Crock-Pot, plus five recipe ideas for leftover ham
• Oven baked leftover ham quesadillas

If you pick up a ham this week, you’ll have great leftovers possibilities (to help you limit your grocery trips)! Other meat sales range from bone-in ribeye roasts to rack of lamb to a family pack of chicken tenderloins (these being $1.99/lb in my ad). You can also pick up Appleton Farms pork sausage rolls, on sale for $1.99 — or hot or Italian pork sausage rolls, $2.21.

Produce sales often vary by region, but in many parts of the country you can look for Gala apples, pineapple, navel oranges, and kiwi to be on sale.

Non-food ALDI Finds

I’m not going to focus on food Finds this week, but if you’re making the trip to the store to stock back up on groceries, you might spot some spring-y products in the aisles. This week’s ad focuses on patio, garden, and Easter items, ranging from mini toys and candy for baskets, to new scents of 3 wick candles, patio umbrellas, to spring-y door mats, to tulip bouquets.
