How Do I Find Aldi Finds in the Store?

If you've never gone on an Aldi Find hunt, we can make it super easy for you. Once you're in the store, look for the giant red Aldi Finds sign, which is usually hanging above the center aisles. The only exceptions to this rule are cold or frozen foods, which are found in their respective sections.

If you've looked all over the store and still can't find that one "it" product you're searching for, check the release date (or ask a sales associate) to make sure it's landed in stores. To make figuring that out easier for you, we've included the drop date of each item below the description so you can mark your calendar.

2. Simply Nature Organic Green Chile Chicken Sausage $4.99

We'll happily grab some fall-inspired groceries, but we also aren't done with summer just yet. There's still time for plenty of weekend cookouts and Labor Day always requires firing up the grill! These green chile chicken sausages would be delicious in a bun topped with sauteed onions, peppers and maybe some pepperjack cheese. Available: 8/14

3. Mama Cozzi's Pizza Kitchen Egg and Chorizo Breakfast Deli Pizza $5.99

Breakfast can be so chaotic on school mornings, but it doesn't have to be thanks to Mama Cozzis. Aldi's in-store brand of pizzas and flatbreads never disappoint, and this one is ready for...breakfast! Scrambled eggs, chorizo, tomatoes, jalapeños and cheese on top of a wood-fired crust sound exactly like something we'd like to wake up to. This would also be great cooked on the grill for a lazy summer Sunday brunch. Available: 8/7

4. Park Street Deli Bacon Ranch Chicken Salad $5.79

Kids' aren't the only ones who need a packed lunch. Who else tries to save money by taking lunch to work? This all-white meat chicken salad is flavored with one of our favorite combos: ranch and bacon. Try it on some soft bread or a croissants or eat it on crackers or in a pita for a simple, but delicious lunch. Pro Tip: Instead of using lettuce on sandwiches, try some baby spinach or watercress for a little extra punch. Available: 8/28

5. Choceur Pumpkin Chocolates $3.99

If you haven't heard, Aldi is known for their chocolate bars, and the in-store Choceur brand is one of the reasons why. Aldi sells premium chocolate at budget-friendly prices, which is a win-win in our book. These adorable pumpkins come in various flavors and would make the perfect fall party host gift. They come in an apple set for even more fall fun (or maybe a first-day-of-school gift for your kiddo's teacher). Available: 8/21

6. Great Gherkins Mango Habanero Pickle Chips $2.79

Just because we're nearing the end of summer doesn't mean those grills and Blackstones don't still have plenty of burgers to cook! Add a little sweet heat to your next juicy beef or turkey burger with these pickle chips. This Aldi superfan would also suggest pairing them with Aldi's Emporium Selection Habanero Jack Cheese for an even spicier kick. Available: 8/14

This gluten-free, sugar-free, keto-friendly bread is made with eggs and cream cheese to give it a light, fluffy and airy texture.

8. Berryhill Maple Butter $6.99

Are you as intrigued as I was when I first saw this? Think all the sweet, decadent flavor of maple syrup, but spreadable! I think it would be great for sandwich cookies, or use it in muffins, cakes or breads. Or think outside of the box and go the more savory route and make a killer sauce to pour over grilled pork chops, or in a sweet and spicy chicken marinade. You can also spread it on waffles, pancakes or French toast for an extra sweet start to your day. Available: 8/21

9. S'mores Brownies $4.49

These chocolate brownies topped with everything you find in an ooey gooey s'more are exactly what we want to eat right now. For the full s'mores experience, serve them around the campfire or backyard bonfire. and if you get asked to bring dessert to a Labor Day party, your job just got a whole lot easier. Available: 8/21

10. Friendly Farms Color Changing Blueberry Yogurt $2.49

I'm about to score major mom points when this starts showing up in my little guy's lunch box. (And that's before he sees the adorable chameleon on the front!) Low-fat yogurt with Vitamins A and D that change color when stirred is such a fun treat for kids. These come in blueberry and strawberry, so you might want to pick up one of each. Available: 8/14

14. Clancy's Pumpkin Spice Yogurt Covered Pretzels $2.99

We'll end this list with one last autumn-inspired treat. Also available in apple cinnamon, these yogurt-covered pretzels are the perfect on-the-go snack or lunch box treat. We also think they'd be great chopped up and sprinkled on top of a yogurt parfait or a bowl of pudding. Available: 8/21
