What Are Aldi Finds?
For Aldi superfans like me, the monthly announcement of their new batch of Finds is a normal thing, but for those who might be confused, let's fill them in!
Each month, Aldi releases new, specialty or seasonal products that hit shelves every Wednesday for a limited time only. These are the items you see influencers like me drooling over, filling your social feeds and getting customers to line up at their doors before opening.
If this is your first Aldi Find go-round, grab a pen and paper because each item on the list comes with a price and release date so you can plan out the entire month!

There's only one word to describe this new find: GENIUS! Pre-measured cubes of ginger, garlic, and basil make soup season even easier.

Available: 10/23
3. Southern Grove Pumpkin Spice Trail Mix $4.29
Any successful road trip this autumn needs great snacks. This pumpkin spice-flavored trail mix is a fun mix of peanuts, yogurt-covered raisins, cinnamon cookies and pepitas. Aldi is also selling a caramel apple trail mix, so grab a few bags of each for quick snacks all season long. Available: 10/2
4. Never Any! Ground Lamb $5.85
If you've never cooked with ground lamb, here is your chance to try it at a super low price. It's earthy, rich, plays well with spices and is very versatile.

6. Millville Cinnamon Bun Granola $3.69
I love anything that has cinnamon roll in the name, and this cinnamon roll-inspired granola looks like a great way to start my day. But what I am most excited about is layering this with some pumpkin fluff for an outstanding (and easy) parfait. Available: 10/2
7. Peanut Delight Cinnamon Apple Crisp Peanut Butter $2.49
Creamy peanut butter with a hint of cinnamon apple sounds great for a piece of toast, with some graham crackers, inside a lunchbox for apple slices, or let's be honest, just pass the spoon! Available: 10/9
8. Mama Cozzi's Pizza Kitchen Mushroom and Truffle Deli Pizza $4.99
I did a double-take when I saw this. Anything with truffles immediately has my attention, but usually, it also means a salty price too. But not at Aldi! This woodfired pizza is piled high with mushrooms, garlic, cheese and truffles for under five bucks. Available: 10/9
9. Reggano Halloween Pasta $2.49
The kids will run to the table for pasta night filled with some spooky vibes. Grab a jar of Aldi's marinara sauce to top these adorable ghosts, owls, spiders, pumpkins and bats. Pro Tip: These would be perfect for a quick, fun supper before trick-or-treating. Available: 10/2
10. Fremont Fish Market Langostino Tails $11.99
Seafood at an affordable price has been a part of Aldi's game for as long as I've been shopping there. Langostino tails are smaller than lobster but can be used in many of the same ways. Chop them up for a creamy lobster roll, make a big pot of lobster bisque on a cold night or simply saute in butter and garlic and mix with cooked linguine for a delicious seafood supper. Available: 10/9

Your morning cup of joe just got a major fall flavor infusion. Maple Pecan, Apple Pie, Cinnamon Sticky Bun and more are included in this seasonal coffee collection. This twelve-cup collection is compatible with most single-style brewers and would make a fantastic hostess gift too. Available: 10/9
13. Benton's Spooky Sandwich Cremes $2.69
I'll score major mommy points when I bring a few packs of these Halloween-inspired cookies home. Chocolate cookies filled with bright orange cream are a yummy dupe for the name brand. Aldi newbies might not know, but having house brands that taste just as good as their more expensive counterparts is one of the ways Aldi keeps their prices affordable. Available: 10/2
14. Barissimo Peppermint Cold Foam $3.69
I know peppermint season isn't quite here yet, but when the can says "coffee's new best friend" you grab it while you can, stock up and don't look back! A cup of hot cocoa on a chilly fall night topped with this will hit the spot. Available: 10/16

Slow down, gingerbread house, we're celebrating the spooky season first! Buy a few and have a family fun competition. Everything you need inside one box for less than ten bucks is a win-win! Available: 10/2
