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. This week—my birthday week, NBD—Aldi has some bangers, like gravy-filled breakfast bites, a spicy frozen spaghetti, and a bunch of new Easter candy. Get your quarters ready; these are the best Aldi finds of the week.

Breakfast Best Sausage & Gravy Biscuit Bites (3/11; $4.79)
Portable pockets of sausage and gravy wrapped in a biscuit?! That’s insane. That’s ingenious. I’m truly shocked at how much of a showstopper these things are. And 40 bites for under $5 is a hell of a deal. I suppose that’s to be expected from our favorite discount grocery store.
Mama Cozzi’s Breakfast Pizza (3/11; $4.99)
A less mobile breakfast offering, but a fast, fun breakfast option nonetheless. They really know it’s my favorite meal of the day. This pizza comes topped with pork belly crumbles, bacon, peppers, and onions. I could have done without the pepper, but I’ll let it slide this one time.
Specially Selected Arrabbiata Spaghetti (3/11; $3.79)
Aldi is taking notes from Trader Joe’s on this pre-packaged frozen pasta that just needs to be heated up. That said, I’m not mad about it. Aldi’s new spaghetti arrabbiata comes with a creamy sauce and tomatoes, parsley, basil, garlic, and red peppers mixed in. It’s an offering you won’t find at Trader Joe’s!
An array of Easter Candy (3/11; $3.49-$4.99)
Easter’s on the horizon and Aldi is preparing accordingly. Their selection of Easter candies includes chocolate truffle eggs, mini chocolate bunnies with milky creme filling, and peanut butter filled bunnies.
Specially Selected Mocha or Vanilla Bean Mascarpone Cheesecake (3/11; $10.99)
Aldi, you already had me at “mascarpone cheesecake.” Then you went and added mocha or vanilla bean flavor options to the mix?! That’s the proverbial icing on the cake. These come frozen, serve six, and you just thaw and eat. Hell yeah.
Sundae Shoppe Mini Fruit Coated Bars (3/11; $4.89)
As temperatures start to heat up (it’s like 86 degrees in L.A. today), you’re going to need something to keep on hand to cool you down. These fruit coated bars, coming in both tropical fruit and mixed berry, are small but mighty on hot days.
