It’s fair to say that customers haven’t been feeling that hot about Aldi of late. Over the last couple of months, we’ve been seeing shoppers left near-constantly disappointed by the chain’s apparent recipe changes, which, customers say, have altered some beloved products for the worse. That said, the store’s still getting a good few things right, and some of its items, like its all-dressed chips and its Reese’s dupe, still have people singing its praises.

It knows when to bring back a fan-favorite, too. Aldi’s just restocked its mustard selection, and it’s no exaggeration to say that its shoppers are very, very happy. You might want to get there before they’re all gone, though; there’s some bulk-buying going on.
Aldi Burman’s Assorted Seasonal Mustards
A couple of days ago, a thread popped up on the Aldi subreddit stating that Aldi’s Burman’s Assorted Seasonal Mustards are back in stock. These flavors are a cut above its standard mustard range: Burman’s mustard typically comes in yellow, Dijon, stone-ground, etc., but for a limited time, you’ll also be able to find Dill Pickle and Sweet & Heat Mustard for $1.49 per bottle.
These two seasonal flavors pop up periodically, and when they do, they always create a stir. This time was no exception. In the Reddit thread, customers immediately started saying they were stocking up on these two, with one person saying that they “bought 5.” While both options are winners, it’s the Dill Pickle Mustard that people really love for its salty-sour flavor profile and versatility. It’s nice to see that dill pickle flavors can still hit right, considering the wild influx we’ve had of pickle-flavored products over the last few years; turns out, we’re not entirely burnt out on them just yet.
I Can’t Find Them In My Local Aldi. Now What?
There’s little public-facing rhyme or reason about when Aldi decides to bring back, discontinue, or restock its seasonal products, and if your regular store has been subject to some shelf-sweeping by hungry customers, head to Trader Joe’s. The store sells its own dill pickle mustard, and while it’s slightly more expensive (not by much, though), it’s a worthy substitute for Aldi’s version. It’s a limited product too, though. Aldi customers have also pointed out that Dollar Tree has a dill pickle mustard that tastes very similar to this one, to the point where they’ve questioned whether the two stores have the same supplier. We couldn’t possibly say.
