6 of the Best Aldi Finds to Buy in March

Well, it is officially (almost) spring, so you already know every grocery store across the country has officially traded out the heart-shaped, red-and-pink candy aisle for the bunny-and-egg-shaped, pastel one—and they did it before you even finished your annual Valentines day Costco hot dog (you gotta celebrate the most long-standing relationships in your life).

And whaddaya know, Aldi is no different. Well, they aren’t different except that in addition to a bunch of delicious-looking Easter-themed sweets, they also have some new savory items that we can’t wait to get our hands on. So without further ado, here are the six best Aldi finds we are most excited pick up when we March on over to Aldi this month.

Bake Shop All Butter Pound Cake (Available March 12; $3.29)

I mean, I have had butter pound cake—but have I had all butter pound cake? Couldn’t tell ya. Mostly because I have no idea what that means. Does it mean they put all the butter they had into this thing? Does it mean this is actually just a loaf of butter? Or is this just going to be an extremely buttery pound cake? Honestly, I wouldn’t be mad at any of those things; this bad boy sounds good no matter how you ~slice~ it.

Season’s Choice Tempura Vegetables – Zucchini and Carrots (Available March 12; $3.49)

What’s better than vegetables? Fried vegetables, of course! If you must be an adult and consume “fiber or whatever,” then you may as well consume fiber that has been battered, fried, and frozen for your de-frozing convenience. Plus tempura battered anything is delicious, and I stand by that. “But Jessica would you eat tempura battered snails? Or Brussels sprouts? Or other bugs that aren’t snails?” Eh, I don’t know, but probably.

Barissimo Cold Foam Oatmilk or Pistachio (Available March 26; $3.49)

I love a good cold foam and also a good non-dairy alternative, so oat milk cold foam is sort of a dream come true. Plus, pistachio anything with coffee is divine but a pistachio cold foam—my goodness it’s like Aldi is just begging me to drive over, buy all of their cold foam and put it all over my coffee, fruit, house, and spoons. And when Aldi begs me to do something I do it. Because that is our relationship.

Bake Shop Lemon Streusel Cake (Available March 26; $4.69)

I have had lemon cake and I have had cinnamon streusel cake, but lemon streusel cake? This almost sounds too good to be true. Plus, the icing on the cake is that on top of all that good, good streusel there is…well…icing on the cake (yes, even though it is a crumb cake). I would go through this thing in like two days, I bet. I haven’t had it so I don’t know how good it is but if it tastes half as excellent as its picture implies, I think we are good to go.

Park Street Deli Shrimp Meal Kit – Jerk Shrimp and Cajun Rice or Teriyaki Shrimp and Rice Pilaf (Available March 5; $14.99)

This is exactly what it sounds like: shrimp and rice two ways. One way is teriyaki shrimp on rice pilaf which seems like a bit of a random but tasty combo, and the other is jerk shrimp on cajun rice which is also not the most sensical combo, but hey. They both sound kind of great and like a non-complex and well-seasoned way to go about making two-thirds of a weeknight dinner in mere minutes (the vegetable of the meal would still be every man for himself but hey, I believe in you. You can find a veggie. We all can find a veggie).

Moser Rother chocolate Truffle Eggs (Available March 26; $4.49)

Nothing to see here, just Easter egg-shaped, delectable-looking chocolate truffles! They come in five flavors: strawberry rhubarb, raspberry cream, lemon mousse, mousse au chocolat, and sea salt caramel—there truly doesn’t appear to be a bad one in the bunch. Plus, they are adorable. I don’t personally celebrate Easter, but the egg shape of these looks like it would be super satisfying to crack into and taste.
