The Best Aldi Thanksgiving Finds Under $10
Make Turkey Day extra easy with these store-bought shortcuts.
We know the Christmas trees, Advent calendars, and seasonal candies popping up at stores might say otherwise, but there is still one more holiday before the winter festivities begin—and, it’s an important one for us home cooks. Thanksgiving may only be one day, but it’s a marathon day for the host making the turkey, stuffing, pies, and mashed potatoes.
Instead of spending all day in the kitchen, let some store-bought shortcuts help you this Thanksgiving, so you, too, can enjoy the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade and hours of NFL football that your guests get to watch. From appetizers to sides and pies, Aldi has everything you need for Turkey Day to go off without a hitch.
Bake Shop Pecan Pie
Available: Nov. 13
Price: $4.99
Aldi has been selling its pumpkin pies since October, but beginning Nov. 13, the pecan pies hit shelves. So, if you find the sweet and buttery corn syrup- and nut-filled pie to be finicky, pick up this Bake Shop version that’s good enough to pass off as homemade.
Specially Selected Premium Shrimp Ring
Available: Nov. 13
Price: $8.99
No one wants to get hangry waiting for the turkey to come out of the oven. This cocktail shrimp ring is the perfect appetizer to tide your guests over while you perfect your spread. Simply thaw and serve alongside cocktail sauce, which you can also find at the German grocer.
Specially Selected Maple Nut Brioche Loaf
Available: Nov. 13
Price: $4.89
If your Turkey Day starts with a delicious breakfast casserole for parade watching, you need this sweet maple nut-flavored brioche loaf. Use it for a French toast bake, bread pudding, or as a sweet addition to your regular breakfast sausage casserole to really wow your family.
Bake Shop Dutch Apple Pie
Available: Nov. 13
Price: $4.99
Aldi might start feeling like an episode of the “Great British Baking Show” on Nov. 13 because, apparently, it’s pie week! If you want to add even more pies to your dessert table—or aren’t a fan of pumpkin or pecan—Aldi is selling its Dutch Apple and Cherry Pie, too.
Clancy's Turkey Stuffing Wavy Potato Chips
Available: Nov. 12
Price: $2.19
Trader Joe’s better watch its back because Aldi is coming for the Thanksgiving flavor crown. The Clancy’s brand is offering Turkey Stuffing-flavored and Garlic Mashed-flavored Wavy Potato Chips this year. They’re perfect for watching football between Thanksgiving dinner helpings one and two—or if you just love Thanksgiving flavors so much you want to eat them all month long.
Priano Turkey Cranberry Ravioli
Available: Nov. 13
Price: $3.69
Pasta may not be a traditional Thanksgiving side, but fill it with turkey, cranberries, and bacon, and now it’s the Turkey Day trifecta. Try serving Aldi’s Turkey Cranberry Ravioli with gravy for an entire Thanksgiving dinner in one bite. Or, if you aren’t into the turkey-stuffed ravioli, you can also pick up the Bourbon Sweet Potato Ravioli in the deli section that week.
Mama Cozzi's Pizza Kitchen Stuffed Crust Pepperoni Parmesan Cracked Pepper

The night before Thanksgiving is one of the biggest pizza nights of the year. Save your money on delivery and grab one of Mama Cozzi’s fan-loved pies.

Park Street Deli White Cheddar Mac and Cheese
Available: Nov. 20

Store-bought mac and cheese is one of the easiest sides to serve because it almost always tastes homemade. The heat-and-eat Park Street Deli White Cheddar Mac and Cheese will save you precious minutes come Turkey Day, and may even be a crowd favorite.
L'oven Fresh Honey Oat Rolls

Price: $3.29
Use the time you’d spend on making homemade rolls to simply relax for a while because these ready-to-eat rolls only need to be plated.
