Some of us have been waiting all year for this — and by this, I mean the latest batch of Aldi Finds. Sure, fall has been sneaking its way onto shelves since *checks watch* July, but September is when the season really hits its stride. This month’s drops are proof of just that.
Our sources at Aldi shared a list of 122 items hitting shelves, and it might as well have come with leaf-shaped confetti in various shades of yellow, orange, red, and brown. Pumpkin, apple, caramel, and maple are showing up in our morning brews, afternoon snacks, and after-dinner sweets. Plus, there’s so much cheese. These are the 10 Aldi Finds we’re most excited about.
1. Barissimo Caramel Apple Coffee Cups, $5.99
One of the most classic fall treats, but make it infinitely more drinkable. Made with fair-trade certified arabica beans, we’re calling it now: Caramel apple coffee is the new PSL. Look for it in stores September 6.
2. Fremont Fish Market Lobster Bites, $4.99
For those of us who are #TeamEndless Summer, these breaded and fried lobster bites are bringing the seaside vibes to the kitchen table. Just add a squeeze of lemon and some coastal tunes. You can find them (and shrimp bites!) in the freezer section on September 6.
3. Season’s Choice Crispy Potato Circles, $2.79
Golden-brown and crispy-crackly on the outside, with a soft, fluffy interior — these potato circles are a must-have with burgers or hot dogs, and a standout side for chili night. They’re available September 13 — we recommend keeping a bag of these in your freezer at all times.
4. Mama Cozzi’s Pizza Kitchen Buffalo Chicken Pizza, $4.59
While we’re on the topic of delightfully crispy things for your freezer, this thin-crust pizza is doing the most — and we’re here for it. Covered in a tangy Buffalo ranch sauce, Buffalo-style chicken, and a duo of cheeses (mozzarella and white cheddar), you can find it on shelves September 27.
5. Emporium Selection Garlic & Herb Gourmet Spreadable Cheese, $3.49
If you have not yet experienced the hype that is The Bear omelette, this sub-$4 garlic and herb spreadable cheese — available September 8 — is your sign to break a few eggs (and then beat them through a sieve). Snag a second for this oh-so-creamy gnocchi.
6. Emporium Selection Rustic Red Cheddar, $3.99
The cheese selection alone this month is enough to fill a basket! Of the nearly two-dozen wheels, wedges, and blocks hitting stores throughout the month, this rustic English cheddar has the most snack-board energy. Made by one of the oldest cheddar makers in the world, it boasts a slightly sweet, crumbly mild flavor, and is available September 8.
7. Specially Selected Fig Fruit Spread, $1.99
Aldi’s fruit spreads rival the name-brand, imported, and small-batch varieties — at a fraction of the price. This fig jam will fancy up your morning toast and add serious flavor to your charcuterie spread and a little something different to your thumbprint cookies. Look for it in stores on September 8.
8. Moser Ruth Autumn Truffles, $3.69
Aldi has really really good chocolate, and this limited-edition 12-pack is no different. Available on September 6, they’re a real who’s who of seasonal flavors: pumpkin spice, maple almond, caramel apple, and fall berry.
9. Sundae Shoppe Pumpkin Latte Ice Cream Bars, $3.79
There’s a reason we listed Sundae Shoppe’s ice cream bars as one of the best foods you can pick up at Aldi. They’re pure decadence at a wallet-friendly price. We’re counting down the days until September 27 when we can get our hands on this pumpkin latte bar, with all its chocolaty, caramel-y, and cinnamon-y flair.
10. Three Mills Pumpkin Spice Mulled Wine, $5.99
This is our wildcard pick. Pumpkin spice and mulled wine are two of the best signals that spooky season is headed our way. Together (heated up in a cauldron, naturally) they could be truly spectacular or maybe a little bit scary. Either way, we’re looking forward to finding out — and hearing from you all! — on September 6.
