Here’s What’s New at Aldi This Week

You never know what you’re going to find when you walk through Aldi’s automatic sliding glass doors. Lots of bargains, sure, but each and every week, the discount grocery store is also stocking lots of brand-spanking-new products and weird seasonal items you have to pounce on before they disappear. At the moment, they’re gearing up for St. Paddy’s Day with a fun snack mix, specialty cheeses, and Irish-inspired bread mixes.

Aldi Soda Bread Mix and Beer Bread Mix (2/28, $2.49)

I’m sure making soda bread from scratch is very satisfying in its way—but so is finding a quick and easy shortcut to hot, tangy loaves. Aldi has two varieties for spring: soda bread and beer bread. Just add soda water and butter to the former and beer and butter to the later for “buttery bread in less than an hour,” the box says.  

Southern Grove Leprechaun’s Delight Trail Mix (2/28, $4.89)

What makes a regular ol’ trail mix a Leprechaun’s Delight trail mix? Little colorful, crunchy little marshmallows, obviously. This mix also has: yogurt-flavored coated raisins, honey roasted cashews, vanilla glazed almonds, and mini shortbread cookies. No gold, sorry.

Emporium Selection Irish Porter Cheddar and Sage Derby (2/28, $3.99)

Most of our favorite Aldi cheeses are pretty standard issue, but who can resist seasonal options? For St. Paddy’s Day, they’ve got a Sage Derby, a mild cheese imported from England, as well as a cheddar infused with the flavor of porter. Yum.

Other stuff to keep an eye out for this month … 

Summit Popz Prebiotic Soda 

Aldi has a Poppi dupe now! We recently tried their new Bloom Energy dupe, Vivee, and it’s pretty impressive, so there’s a good chance this prebiotic soda will be pretty good, too. Currently, the lineup of flavors includes: Strawberry Lemon, Raspberry Rose, Cherry Lime, and Lemon Lime.

Benner Half & Half or Sweet Iced Tea 

Yeah, it’s the middle of winter, but an Arnold Palmer in February is a welcome taste of summer. 

Specially Selected Flatbreads

We’re big fans of what Mama Cozzi is doing with frozen pizzas at Aldi, but their upscale Specially Selected label has some bangers, too. Keep your eyes peeled for the Roasted Vegetable Wood Fired Provola and the Garlic Provola (topped with a cheesy garlic sauce and more cheese—yum).

Priano Stuffed Shells and Manicotti 

Nothing warms you up on a cold night quite like pasta stuffed with lots of herby cheese. Pick out a good pasta sauce (we especially love Specially Selected Premium Marinara) and that’s dinner.
