We are an ALDI family. While I do stop at other stores from time to time, I just can’t miss the ALDI special buys I find weekly.
Heck, when we do our once a month grocery shopping at ALDI, I still find oodles of special buys.
There are so many everyday ALDI items that all newbies need to try, as well as seasonal or special buy treasures everyone must try at least once.
In this post, we’ll list 100 ALDI special buys you need now. Who are we kidding? We’ll probably list more than 100, but that number just sounds better than 107 or 128.
How To Find Special Buys In The ALDI Ad
So, ALDI makes it pretty easy to find items they deem as special buys. They give them their own sections in the weekly circulars.
There’s also a section of items that live in a place ALDI fans love to call “the aisle of shame.” The aisle of shame is a place where you will find magical and sometimes unnecessary things at ridiculously good prices.
We get a whole page of AOS items each week, and yes, these non-food items are legit. If you can splurge on a few of them, do it. You won’t regret it.
How To Use ALDI Delivery To Stock Up
Here’s the tea. If you can’t get to ALDI in time to grab these items, especially the seasonal ones, use a pitch hitter.
Grocery shopping services like InstaCart can help you snag these items. If you get your orders in on the day your ALDI circular starts, you just may be ahead of the game when grabbing these awesome items.
You may have to list any seasonal items as “specialty items” on your virtual grocery list, but this is the big secret for big ALDI fans who are short on time.
This is one of many ALDI grocery store hacks I love to share, because most of these hack are even more ways to save money. Hacks make life so much easier, don’t you think?
