Aldi really brought their A game this week. Well, mostly. I won’t spoil it, but there is one shocking price tag that’s a little hard to swallow for the usually budget-conscious grocer. Nevertheless, we’re still happy with the things that are launching this week. There’s a ton of finger foods, some show-stopping desserts, and a lunch option that’ll have your coworkers turning green with envy. There’s plenty to go around, though, so you can send them our way and we’ll get them sorted. Let’s dive in and see what’s new at Aldi this week!

Aldi Seasoned Spiral Fries (5/6; $3.65)
Do you think it’s flattering or tiring for Arby’s to be compared to any seasoned curly fries that come out? It feels like the red bag is reinforcing the connection, so we’re going with it. Snatch these seasoned curly fries from Aldi and let us know how they taste with a roast beef sandwich.
Bake Shop Chocolate Chip Cookie Sandwiches (5/6; $5.99)
These little chocolate chip sandwich cookies with vanilla frosting inside are the perfect thing to grab from Aldi and bring to a potluck. Or sneak them into Ziploc bags and pass them off as your own for a bake sale. Your secret is safe with me!
Appetitos Everything Franks in a Blanket (5/6; $4.29)
Pigs in a blanket with a little something extra on top! The box also shows a ramekin with mustard in it, but you’ll have to provide your own. Talk about a tease, Aldi! I do think the addition of everything seasoning could allow you to eat these sans dip, but then again, everything’s better with a little sauce.
Live G Free Gluten Free Cheesecake (5/6; $11.69)
A little love for our gluten free friends! Now, this is pretty pricey for an Aldi find, but I’m hopeful that the price is reflective of the size of the cheesecake rather than its gluten-free nature considering the cheesecake weighs in at two freaking pounds. Plus, there’s variety: You get two slices of each flavor, chocolate chip, lemon swirl, New York style, and strawberry swirl.
Fusia Asian Inspirations Steamed Chicken or Pork Dumplings (5/6; $2.99)
And just like that, we’re back to a more digestible price for an Aldi product. Six dumplings for three bucks! You can grab these soup dumplings in chicken or pork and cook them right up in the microwave.
Other things to look for this week…
Season’s Choice Beer Battered Onion Rings (5/6; $3.39)
Another deep fried option in case you want a bit of onion instead of the tried and true potato. Throw these in the air fryer for a fun time.
Mama Cozzi’s Cheese Stuffed Crust Pizza (5/6; $6.99)
Available in two varieties: buffalo chicken and pepperoni. Digornio might want to count their days if these turn out to be as good as they look!
Specially Selected Multilayer Gelato (5/6; $3.99)
Decadent gelato with layers you can explore that comes in coffee vanilla delight, chocolate vanilla cookie, or coconut and chocolate crunch. For $3.99! That sounds like trouble…for my waistline.
